To feel like the only woman left who doesn't shave her pubes? 😂

During a group WhatsApp with friends last night, conversation (somehow!) turned to pubes. It would seem I am the only one who doesn't shave the whole lot off. I've done it a couple of times in the past but it itched when growing back and I actually feel sexier with a bit of a muff! Does anyone else not shave these days or am I a vile ogre?

Maybe a muffin?😂

NerforMuffin · 06/05/2020 17:45

Genuine question can anyone not do it because of the regrowth??!

Within 24 hours I'm bumpy and so fucking itchy that I want to rip my neither region's off.

It doesn't t matter what method I try.

I'm enjoying a cider. But I think we should stop worrying about other people's bits and pieces now 😃

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 06/05/2020 17:53

People. I summoned Muffin! I fucking summoned Muffin!

Ok. Let's try again.
Euromillions numbers🙏

Pre COVID I would go to my waxing lady for a Brazilian. Right now I’m shaving. I don’t mind a little regrowth but not full blown bush.

Bluntness100 · 06/05/2020 18:08

Seriously anyone who thinks a grown woman looks like a child because she shaves her pubic hair needs to go give their head a wobble. Man or woman. That’s beyond sick.

It’s like something someone once said on here, and a bunch of folks thought, fuck that’s a good insult, I’ll use that.

Grow up.

FredAstaireAteMyHamSandwich · 06/05/2020 18:41

I don’t. I don’t want my vagina to look like a 10 year old girls. And any man who finds it sexy to shag a woman looking like that makes me feel a bit ick to be honest.

FredAstaireAteMyHamSandwich · 06/05/2020 18:43

Ooh! Cross posted. Still stand by what I say. We all have different opinions.

Chiyo666 · 06/05/2020 18:45

Except a your opinion is bullshit and quite frankly, sick.

MarieQueenofScots · 06/05/2020 18:53

@FredAstaireAteMyHamSandwich

What do you suggest women with no hair do when they want sex?

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 06/05/2020 18:55

I can't believe posters on MN actually sorted out issue of pedophilia 😱
So simple!
We just shave, and shave some men too obviously, cover the rest of the body and voilà! Pedos would never know the difference since even the owners of the genitalia in question don't see any! Omg. Nobel price. Amazing. Give yourself a clap on a side of the head preferably

🙄

BigChocFrenzy · 06/05/2020 18:56

No woman should be shamed for shaving or not shaving

Your body, your choice

"wait till you are menopausal like me and it mostly drops out anyway. Saves you a fortune."
Exactly, Bellini 😂

To be fair. My Lady Garden is so overgrown, DP needed a map and SatNav a couple of weeks ago.

Grin Grin Grin

As long as he doesn't need a machete to hack through the undergrowth you should both be okay.

(FWIW - my lady parts are similarly lush!)

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/05/2020 19:13

I've seen every episode a couple of episodes of "Naked Attraction" and there wasn't a single body hair in sight- on either sex.

I thought it looked bloody creepy, TBH. And certainly not erotic.

maddy68 · 06/05/2020 19:15

I always feel itchy and a bit sweaty and pongy if I don't shave sometimes its just a short back and sides but definitely not au natural

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/05/2020 19:20

Stackthecats I agree with everything you say. The current trend that vulvas must be ‘neat and tidy’ is undoubtably down to porn.

And I agree with Peapod agreeing with Stackthecats

There is a vulnerability and an innocence about hairless pudenda which isn't there with a "natural" fanny bush. I think that's one of the things which makes it so popular in porn, because porn is about control. Young, vulnerable, helpless, inexperienced women are perceived as easier to control.

Sewrainbow · 06/05/2020 22:34

I don't, never have!

Yep agree with all that ^ such a rank, unoriginal thing to say.

toomanytowels · 07/05/2020 08:50

Thanks to this thread and with an attitude of fuck it I'm bored, I shaved all mine off last night! For the first time ever! I'm 55 and feeling rebellious. DH took one look and said FUCK ME! and I thought my luck was in but that was not what he meant.

MaxNormal · 07/05/2020 09:00

I remove my own fgs. Would I rather live in a world where it felt totally ok to go natural? Of course.

But it is okay? It's not like there's pube police, no-one checks, you've got freedom of choice not to have to do hair removal of a private area.

I don't even bother with my pits usually. I like the way they match my muff Wink

I will sometimes shave them for wearing sleeveless tops but it's to stop judgement and I resent it. I should take my own advice and stop giving a fuck really.

StarlightLady · 07/05/2020 09:06

@toomanytowels - Careful! The “Asbestos Knickers” police will come after you and tell you what a terrible sister you are.

Aside from that, welcome to the club Flowers! There are benefits.

Now let the insults flow!

toomanytowels · 07/05/2020 09:10

@StarlightLady I'm 55 and I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks! One of the best things about ageing!

DesperateHouselife · 07/05/2020 09:12

And thanks, do I get a membership card? To put next to my Saga cruise card?

But, grown adults have pubic hair, children don't.

Yes it's sick but so is porn and its influence on our society, whether you recognise and understand it or not. Porn promotes sex with very young looking girls.

Similarly, where do you think the "trend" for choking women in sex comes from, and the subsequent deaths "oh dear I seem to have killed my partner but she was asking for it, honest m'lord" come from?

Do you think thousands of men suddenly decided by coincidence they want to hole women or is it from all the porn they watch from a young age?

Same story for the rise in anal sex and the injuries women are sustaining as a result.

It's depressing as fuck, but the influence of porn on our societal norms doesn't go away by pretending it doesn't exist.

eleventy3isthemagicnumber · 07/05/2020 09:17

Stupid autocorrect.

Should say:

"Do you think thousands of men suddenly decided by coincidence they want to choke women or is it from all the porn they watch from a young age?"
