Hairless foofs

[Ginismyfriendx]

So can't sleep and watching naked attraction (please do judge me, I deserve it)
Are completely bare foofs a thing now? Having had a nasty experience of an ingrown hair from shaving bikini line (which required anti-biotics) why go through that? Nevermind the faff. Who want's an evening shadow on their lady bits?
All for a bit of pruning, but uprooting?

@QueenOfMyWorld not true for everyone unfortunately. Some people due to genetics e.g. how their hair grows are more prone to ingrown hairs.

I've had laser done and love being hair free. It's my opinion which I'm entitled to but I feel so much cleaner especially when menstruating.

The friends I’m close enough to ask all have a bush- we’re late 20s/early 30s. Definitely personal choice, and I suspect naked attraction is not a representative sample!

Mines a bush right now. I hate it... my other half doesn’t mind (says he likes the Neanderthal look once in a while 😂).

I usually epilate or go get a wax, but 24/7 morning sickness has stopped this routine.

Personally, I feel dirtier, smellier and very unsexy when I’m hairy. There’s no way anything too intimate would happen.. I’m just not comfortable with it. I’m even put off masturbation... it’s very much a ‘my choice’ thing.

Can’t wait to feel like I’m not going to throw up so I can go get a wax!

Lying how on earth am I policing what other women do when I've said more than once 'everyone to their own' or words to that effect. I think you're muddling me up with someone else

Look back at Okaasan post of 02.43, rude about those who don't remove every hair.

I have hair but trimmed. Single and never had a complaint, men often say they like it

Chacun a son gout...the full wax is a very new phenomenon in the West. In Victorian times, the bush was very much an object of masculine fantasy, and apparently, in occupied Italy in WW2, prostitutes would buy blonde merkins to keep their American customers happy. Napoleon told Josephine not to bathe for days before he arrived home - the pheromones trapped in the pubic hair (its purpose, after all) was seen as a real turn-on. Frankly, the primal scent of a clean (though not perfumed) pubic region to me is one of the most important parts of phenomenal, mind-blowing sex. And the thought of a shaved male partner - eeuugghhh. Personal preference is what it' s all about.

When my first pube grew when I was about 15 I picked up a razor and whipped it straight off. Nothing to do with porn just a young 15 year old terrified of growing up. I didn’t start my period until I was nearly 17. As it happens my body hair is sparse (I have a grand total of 3 armpit hairs) so even if I want to grow a bush I couldn’t, when it does grow back it’s patchy and very thin so shaving it all off looks far less ridiculous.

Am going to check for grey ones ! Quick question , with the Hollywood , do they remove the fluff round your bum hole too ? And is bum hole fluff another age related thing , because I definitely didn't have it when I was younger , it feels like my pubes are trying to take over the rest of my body , will it , if left untended end up growing up my buttocks and back so I look like this chap?

I've never seen snide posts from women who remove their hair, just defensive ones as they have to justify their decision from nosey, over-invested and frankly, rude women.

I’ve never seen nosey, over invested, rude comments from women who don’t shave. They’re just saying what’s right for them. Or does your reasoning only work one way?

(Actually I’ve seen rudeness on both sides. It’s ridiculous to try to claim there is none)

Personally, I feel dirtier, smellier and very unsexy when I’m hairy. There’s no way anything too intimate would happen..

But whyyyyy??? Your pubes smell of your pheromones which are designed specifically to turn your partner on! It’s a massive part of sexual attraction and arousal. I’m not saying you can’t have great sex if you’re both hairless but how can it be ‘better’ when you are missing a pretty key component?

If I do go for the balding look I shave it but that's rare because every time I do I get the worst uti's!! Don't suppose anyone could give me any advice? I can't afford to go to a salon and I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to creams etc

I know that in reality the hair doesn’t make it dirty but I feel dirty when I have hair down there. It just feels really gross and unhygienic to me, especially on my period so I prefer it without.

I’m early 30s. Every single one of my close friends shaves it all off. Been the done thing for a long while

MissP I am considering laser hair removal - was it painful? How many treatments did you need?

I've been doing it since I was 13. Never had an ingrown hair. Never had an issue with is. Never waxed either - just use a razor.

I hate having pubic hair. It all comes off.

I have very heavy periods that go on for weeks and can't use tampons. If I have hair, it's disgustingly messy, even with three+ showers a day and I can't stand the thought of it.

I really don't care how I look. DH can probably tell I'm not a pre-pubescent girl

I used to have a Hollywood for years (mid 30s and early 40s) when I stopped it didn’t grow back properly (all patchy) - God can’t believe I’m describing this!

Now I’m old I think a full bush is more youthful and that the bald look is a bit dated - I’d love to rock a full proud bush - but it’s bald or patchy for me now - on the positive side waxing is really quick and doesn’t hurt.

HelenaDove I think you've made an excellent point, it does seem that having won some equality, or at least the impression of equality, women are even more pressured to perform femininity. The neo-liberal subject is woman. Work, patterns of consuming, all female. Whilst porn plays a huge part in shaping men's preferences, it is other women who seem keenest to police the choices of women.

I used to zapp it all. It was fine, no ingrowing hairs but it was just one more chore. Something else to think about, factor time for and I resent having to spend money on waxing.

DP asked me to grow it. He has his preference, what a relief.

I don't shave my arm pits either. When I did it sensitised the skin and I perspired. I had to use deodorant. Now I never do. Same with down below. I feel cooler and more comfortable with hair. It's there for a reason.

And there is research and evidence that suggests that shaving it all off makes you more vulnerable to infections and STDs.

I used to as I liked the look and feel of it. Then stopped for a while as I was getting itchyness (eczema on your vulva is a pain) and was a forest for years, menopause seems to have made mine grow more

Recently I've started again due to another lovely menopause side affect excess discharge sticking your hair to your knickers in NOT nice

I’m not saying you can’t have great sex if you’re both hairless but how can it be ‘better’ when you are missing a pretty key component?

My partner's more likely to go down on me, for one. I feel sexier and more attractive and therefore more confident...

Try looking up some vintage porn on one of the large mainstream sites and see what the overwhelming commentary is from the men watching.

No thanks. Why would I want to seek out what strange men on the internet think about a porn genre? Just why?

Seems to me every few years we've got more and more to spend money on. Now it's fillers, botox... I was trying to point this out to my teenage DD once. Are the boys spending all this money before every party? They are not.

This is what bothers me the most. Women already make less than men in many cases and yet we are easily manipulated by advertising that shames us saying we need to do/buy z to look better, to feel better about ourselves. The time and expense to do all these things takes away from the time that could be spent on something productive for us.

Then with the current dating trends of going dutch, a guy who probably took a shower, combed his, hair and put on clean clothes whinges about having to buy a girl a cuppa and a slice when she probably spent hours and much more money on cosmetics, clothes, waxing, color, blow out, etc. to look nice for a date.

People can do what they want of course with their own bodies but I hope they realise these trends are just manipulations to condition you to feel bad about yourself and separate you from your money.

That said, I tried the bare look a few times, and it was awful. Didn't look anything like the preened photoshopped porn girls. Down there looked like a spotty faced teen!! Plus, my scar was clearly visible. The itchiness growing back is terrible.

I had full 70s bush and nobody shaved down there and men didn't manscape either. Never had any complaints. Men loved it. Even in the 80s, as a stripper, nobody shaved it all off. We just trimmed the edges so our g string and thong covered things. And nobody ever said it was gross, dirty, unhygienic. And yeah everyone was having oral too back then. That didn't just start when porn decided women should be bare.
