70s bush envy

[Sparklybutold]

Is it just me or does anyone else have bush envy? Yes I mean pubic hair bush. I swear I have alopecia down there. I would love a big soft bush. Apparently you can get a bush wig which I'd seriously consider.

(Dear Aston University - stick that in your pipe)

Even my choice to keep armpit hair was influenced by an ad with a woman with full pits! We're all influenced by stuff to a greater or lesser degree

The fear of being laughed at by teenagers influences my decision to shave my legs 😭

I don’t like pubes so I prefer for me the hairless look.

For me, it’s about hygiene ( don’t ask me why but I feel cleaner ) and I also find that sex is much better.
Each to their own but I just don’t want to have a big bushy fanjo.

Nope. It’s just grim.

Oh fuck ooooooooooff

I hear you. I couldn’t give one single fuck what the male gaze values, but I really really can’t deal with being poked by hair all the time.

See also, the seams on socks, things touching my natural nails, too loose bras, non cotton knickers etc etc

Also the tooth thing (folded over sellotape or the silver foil peeled off a painkiller packet are my go to things for getting stuff from between teeth!)

Having pubic hair is grim? Having pubic hair is 'not taking care of yourself'?

God, I've read some stupid shit on MN this week, but this one is right up there.

The joys of getting old, it’s no longer a choice for me because it just doesn’t grow any more. I miss it.

I don't particularly care what other people do with their hair. But I don't think sex feels as good when there's no hair on either party. It's way too slippery and sweaty. Feels like two dolphins going at each other.

It is pretty crap isn’t it. Our noses continue to grow as does nostril and ear hair.

😂😂😂

Actual LOLs.

This whole thread has cheered me up actually.

Black is fine, coarse would not be because I wouldn't like it against jeans.
The hair on my legs and pits is visible but softer so doesn't bother me.
Honestly, I'm not lying when I keep saying it's about sensation and not appearance. I don't find the plucked chicken look attractive but I have it on myself.
I don't think I've ever had a partner with a similarly ruthless grooming routine and I wouldn't want or expect anybody to on my account.

I'm mid 60s and dh removes my pubic hair on a regular basis. Saves on waxing.

I haven't worn socks since Covid. Got used to padding about barefoot and then when I went to put socks back on - NOPE.
Total pain in the arse as had to completely rethink footwear to accommodate this newfound refusal. 🙄😂
Completely agree on things touching nails and non cotton pants. Argh.

Public hair isn't dirty. Stripping hair off is NOT "taking care of yourself" in any way, wise, shape or form. It's just needless pain and/or faff.

How did we get to the point where taking care of ourselves means making ourselves silky smooth like a dolphin or child?

I'd also be interested to see if these expectations are as prevalent in same-sex relationships.

I just knew my comment would have women going ‘no no. I actually remove my pubes because health reasons’. Ok. Sure. Not my business but I don’t believe you.

The misogyny is coming from inside the house

Ew, no. I imagine it’d be sweaty. I get mine completely waxed off as soon as it makes a comeback. Haven’t seen it in its glory since I was a teen!

Why? Can’t you conceive of other people experiencing sensations differently than you?

I take it you are aware that people’s skin/hair/body shape/ amount of and ph level of their discharge all vary? Therefore the sensations they feel vary?

You actually think that THAT isn’t possible, but that I,

a life long lesbian with no interest in what men find attractive,

married to a woman who is hairy all over whom I find very attractive,

that I who have a massive bush on the bits that you would see if I were in a bikini or changing at the gym (my mons pubis)

chooses to remove the hair on my labia, not because I find it less irritating to the skin and less likely to get caught during sex… but actually because ‘society’ thinks I should, and I’m just too dim to realise it?

It’s not sweaty at all - quite the opposite!

That just reminds me of the whole flip flop sounding sex 😂😂😂

Rubbish. As nature intended is fine. And far far better than risking ingrowing hairs and infection.

I prefer to be hair free as having hair has always felt uncomfortable to me.

This video!
This was posted in English once, and all the comments were wistful about the Bush!

Mine too. Except for the bikini line area, which is holding on fast and migrating down my inner thighs!
