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)

No, taking care of yourself is allowing your natural bodily features to remain in order to perform their natural hygiene function.
Most of us are fortunate enough to live with ready access to clean water and sanitation so we have a freedom to groom down below or not. Choosing to do so is a matter of preference and aesthetics, not cleanliness or hygiene.

I think the googly eyes are possibly meerkats.

Jesus.

How is removing all your pubic hair taking care of yourself? How? This makes literally no sense.

The sensation of it drives me round the bend. I dont like it. I dont like the texture, I dont like the valance, I dont like the sensation of hair on my labia

I don't think anyone can 'feel ' the hair there any more than we can 'feel' the hair on our heads unless we reach up and touch it.

I've also never heard of a valance except as something that goes round the base of a bed.

It sounds more as if you don't like womanhood and the feel of it's a red herring.

I take care of myself via my diet, exercise, meditation and getting a good night’s sleep.

My (massive, beautiful) bush doesn’t come into it at all.

In fact leaving it well alone is taking care myself, since removing the hair causes me pain, inconvenience and expense.

For the pp saying that the hair is meant to be there and removing it can cause issues. Is this only bush hair or do you take the same view on any hair removal?

I personally would find it a bit grim to see pubes poking out of someones swim wear on holiday, or a women with long dark leg or underarm hair. I am a bit of a prude but im quite surprised at how many people here seem to like pubic hair!!

I just don't have any. I'm very fair and ginger and when I hit about 30 it faded from a very light strawberry thatch to just... Nothing. Peach fuzz at best. So I truly loathe and despise the comments from women threads like this always accumulate comparing bald women to little girls. It's nauseating and upsetting. I'm a grown woman, not my fault I don't have hair, and my husband isn't a pedo for finding me attractive. I don't look prepubescent. I look like an adult woman who happens not to have much hair.

Consider when you're calling people vile, gross, plucked chicken, gooseflesh, prepubescent Barbie, ugly, porn star (all things I've seen on this thread alone describing hairless fannies) that some of us haven't chosen it.

I completely agree with you , I always removed my hair . I grew up in a really hot country where going to the beach or pool was a daily thing . I remember being 13 and absolutely hating the feeling of pubic hair specially during my period as it would get sticky during the day when I wasn’t home and couldn’t wash it all the time . I was neither sexually active or had access to porn back then .

You don't have to explain yourself to anybody. You shouldn't have to explain your reasons to women either, it's grotesque.

The patriarchy is completely safe; women do a hell of a lot of damage in the name of feminism. Ugh.

Keep your noses out of other women's pubic hair, ffs.

You can tidy up the edges without removing the whole lot.

I don't see how being a 'prude' comes into it.

Do you freak out at the sight of boobs 'poking out' of a swimming costume?

All the bush/no bush , pit hair/ no pit hair becomes academic when you reach a certain age . Goes grey. Stops growing.

What a load of BS . You can certa ou feel pubic hair , the same way you feel if hair is touching something or someone touches it !

There is no stubble feel and certainly no goose flesh plucked chicken look either. And my preference has absolutely nothing to do with porn or wanting to look like a porn star 😂. How strange for you to assume that being hair free is in anyway related to porn!

Something like a fluffy cloud energy! I am not a fan of the pressure to replicate porn and feel being natural is healthier. To be fully embracing womanhood.

Why would I reject femininity in every single element of my life but make an exception for my fanny?

Why does being gay mean you reject your femininity?
If you are gay and like women, then you are doubly-feminine.

If you are attracted to women, surely that means you LOVE females and all they have? (Bushes included.)

Do you want to be a man?

Or a pre-pubescent girl?

By your idea then no lesbian would have a bald fanny ? And having had this conversation a few times I can assure many remove pubic hair .

For the pp saying that the hair is meant to be there and removing it can cause issues. Is this only bush hair or do you take the same view on any hair removal?

I largely don't remove my body hair. Maybe occassionally in summer if I'm going somewhere hot but if I'm honest that's more due to concerns about societal pressure.

I don't mind shaving my legs but I feel like my pubes and armpit hair are protective of the sensitive skin in those areas.

How strange for you to assume that being hair free is in anyway related to porn!

How naiive of you to think it's not.

How old are you?

If you are under 50, it's a porn influence.

To be fully embracing womanhood

You mean, being an adult human female? Or is it just the pubic hair-retainers who are embracing womanhood?

Well, I was at my most active in same-sex relationships during the 90's, and the fashion was very much tilting towards reduced pubes then. It was considered a bit shabby not to trim, especially among Americans. Most of the proper lesbian porn (On Our Backs, Quim, ah, happy days) showed very trimmed pubes. By the time I started sleeping with blokes again, I think the waxed, and then lasered, bush was firmly in the ascendent.

Personally, I lasered the poky out bits to keep myself to myself in bathing costumes, but I never fancied reducing it to a landing strip or stripping the labia. I did have a Brazilian once, on a whim, and DH was so appalled ('extreme' he called it) that I was never tempted to repeat the exercise.

I always shaved and I had no access to porn or was sexually active . In fact I think the norm back then was to have pubic hair . I removed mine because it felt much more comfortable

How can it be porn when I was 12 years old 😂😂 never watched porn or been with a man. Lived with my old age granny she certainly wasn’t telling me to go shave or flaunting a bare fanny at me 😂 Spiders for days there.

Not necessarily.

I'm asking why, as a lesbian, which surely celebrates femininity, the poster can't abide her pubic hair which she seems to think is a token of being a woman (but hey, men have pubes too!)

She has said she dresses and is built like a man, which baffles me as there are plenty of very 'girly' lesbians who clearly love being feminine.

Also imagine the level of waxing required is barbaric and the opposite of self care! Its astonishing people pay to have this done - no doubt a future study in fifty years will cover the reduction and torture women were exposed to and expected to pay for as well, students will be incredulous. How do you even start to explain just why anyone would agree to this? Or injecting pigs fat or being cut up. Already it sounds dated and Medieval!

I'm a mega fatty and as the saying goes "nowt much grows in't shade" (any pervert trying to crack one off in his mum's basement just lost any chance of an erection for at least a fortnight)

But I have watched enough ingrown hair videos on YouTube to know I would not want to wax!
