Right, well, first off, I love it here. i especially love it because there are plenty of intelligent, witty posters.
However, I am frequently surprised at threads relating to pornography, exchanging sex for "gifts" and fanjo shaving, etc. Now, I know we've all got different ideas about what is acceptable, but sometimes it's like feminism never happened.

lol @ vvv

DKMA · 25/04/2008 23:18

Yup Expat - but the pain is like nothing else (esp around the arse crack).

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:19

re hell of a bush

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:20

Well, VVV, I think she sort of answered your question there!

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:21

you get your whole arse waxed as well?! I've always known there was something strangely sexual about horse riders. I have tried to discoutrage dd1 before it is too late

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:22

sympathies, DKMA, i'm so hairy, my pubic hairs would occassionally get stuck in my tights - in ballet, a teen or adult dancer usually wear tights and then the leotard, no underwear - and yank painfully as i moved.

many male dancers also depilated for similar reasons. they have nothing on under those tights, ladies!

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:22

a true Brazilian includes waxing your arse crack, pointy, as well as your beef curtains.

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:23

oh. I learna little every day

DKMA · 25/04/2008 23:23

Just to clarify.........
Had the front side bits, top of inner thighs right up to edge of vag bits and any random bit of crack hair - removed!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 25/04/2008 23:23

Discoutrage? Is that a name for some sort of painful hair removal technique??

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:24

Thanks for that DK. Tell us when you ride out in teh buff on bare horseback. That'll confirm it all

bigmouthstrikesagain · 25/04/2008 23:25

I have to read through this thread properly as I am assuming it goes deeper than a discussion of the rights and wrongs of shaving your fanny

I have until recently been au naturel on bodily hair - easy for me as being of the ginger persuasion I have not got alot of hair to manage. However I tried shaving the bikini line yesterday and deeply regret it as the discomfort and unpleasant plucked spotty apperance of skin is certainly no improvement on ginger fuzz - sorry if tmi!

Feminist or not - not shaving is def for me!!

I will read the thread now and consult my feminist texts from uni to formulate a more intelligent contribution!

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:25

oh don;t! dd1 is not yet all of a hair. I take umbrage

DKMA · 25/04/2008 23:26

I think you have a point Pointydog.
All my equine mates are far more 'sexual' than any of my non horsey mates. I don't know why?

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:27

it's because horses so flagrantly display their sexuality, DK.

they're just so . . . open about their bodily functions.

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:28

oh god no, DK. I wanted you to get cross and tell me there is nothing sexual in it at all. I have been trying to deny what I see before me as I watch those women on horses and watch my own horse-mad child.

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:29

tastefully put, expat. You mean they have unfeasibly large dongs

VeniVidiVickiQV · 25/04/2008 23:30

LOL pointy!

DKMA · 25/04/2008 23:30

I'm sorry.......... I have degraded this thread!
I am incapable of formulating a more intelligent contribution so I'm going to bed!
I now have a mental image of a overgrown ginger bush - so thanks for that!

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:31

and those dirty mares, pointy!

they will back their scutts to a fence and move their tails to the side if they detect a stallion in the adjoining farm and they're primed and ready for it - well let down as they say in the US.

a most dangerous thing if you're keeping someone else's horse.

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:31

I feel dirty

pointydog · 25/04/2008 23:32

I have noi idea what you mean by that last sentence, expat

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:33

when the mare comes into season if she senses a stallion about she will let him know.

a ranch manager who is stabling someone else's horse could wind up with a pregnant mare on her hands if there are stallions about in the adjoining property.

NOT a good thing considering how long horses are pregnant for and you can't show them or jump them when they're pregnant.

expatinscotland · 25/04/2008 23:34

also the mare may fall pregnant to a sire her owner is not very happy about and have a foal that cannot be papered.

DKMA · 25/04/2008 23:34

PMSL pointydog 'feeling dirty'
My horse does have amassive cock! When he gets excited it goes hard and he bounces it off his belly! It's very impressive - he's not meant to do this as he has had his balls off?!
