Is the bush back?

So just watched last night's cha4 show about why women largely now remove all body hair. As a 53 year old - I trim/tidy as routine and bikini wax before holidays. I have in the past had a Hollywood and a Brazilian with a landing strip but that was in my 30s/40s. However, I understand going bare is a young thing. Out of interest - what are you guys all doing with your foofoos? And have any of you encountered judging by men?

In my 20s here and always had a Bush. No man has ever complained (at least not to my face anyways). My dh doesn't seem to mind either way tbh and he is early 30s. However he isn't British so I don't know if that changes things.

I'm in my forties and have a Brazilian wax... never shave, bumpy itchy skin down there no thank you. I like the feel of a Brazilian.
I share a car with a load of 20 something guys. They all prefer less hair down there on women - mostly for oral and all trim/tidy as oral is as important to them.
Yes I've had that conversation- they even asked me very specific questions about the waxing process

@FannyFifer
I really don't pretend to be a child either, my 47yr old boyfriend would be seriously creeped out if I did and probably have me sectioned!
It's just hair, have it or don't, it needn't be hugely controversial.

I'm 46 and since getting back in the dating/ shagging pool last summer, two of the three men I have slept with have commented on me having pubic hair. They commented postively but still commented. They were 52 and 48. Tbh I was pretty appalled. I thought men of their age would regard it is the norm, but apparently not.

I never have and never will touch so much as a single hair on my pubes. And personally, I don't want to shag a man who wants my genitals to resemble those of a pre-pubescent girl. That creeps me out.

3 cheers for the young women sporting a bush! Good for them!

I'm an old biddy and only shaved mine once to try it. Never again. I do trim the long straggly bits with scissors just because they seem to get in inconvenient places if left to their own devices.

Keep thinking about pp poster advocating clean glossy bush. I feel so inadequate SadConfusedGrin
