| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 11:32:02 AM | | Are you kidding me?, shaving your groin is the defining essence of a manly man these days. I remember when a manly man was defined by building his own house or pulling the engine and transmission our of his car and rebuilding it. Today, you guys can't even find the hood latch, or unstop a toilet. I know about the generation gap, but this isn't just a gap....unless you call the Grand Canyon a gap. Well, it's good to know you guys are good at something important like shaving your balls. If a man or woman had of mentioned such a practise 25 years ago, you would have been looked at like you had eyeball in the middle of you forehead. Well, at least now I know why so many of you younger guys are always tugging at your crotch....indicates time to shave those balls again, Ummm, sounds like time well spent. | |

I haven't laughed this hard in ages. This post is HILARIOUS! And so, so true.
Well, it's good to know you guys are good at something important like shaving your balls. This line is just priceless! This is what I've been trying to tell these people. My god, they're obsessed with shaving every last hair on their bodies. Yeah, that's real manly all right.  | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 3:37:14 PM | | Yep, I would love to be a fly on the wall in the average young couples bedroom today. "Honey don't go down there now, I didn't get a chance to shave it today,.....that's O.K., my balls are sort of scruffy anyway.....where is your tounge ball dear?.....Oh, I swallowed it the other day eating an apple.......well, I'm not interested in gettin any head without it.....be that way, I'm getting a new tattoo tomorrow and my breat will be scabbed for a week, so sex is out.....that's great, tell you what, instead of arguing or having sex, let go to the bathroom and I'll shave yours if you shave mine.....that sounds like a winner, let's go...........Oh shit honey, you forgot to get us some razors at the store yesterday, these are dull......let's use them anyway....that will be soooo kinky. | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 6:11:08 PM | I shave it all off because it's a cleanliness issue. I find pubic hair repugnant and inconvenient.
Body fluids and hair don't mix well in my books.
I say, get rid of it. We wear clothing now...no need to keep the bush.
Oh, and I never shaved because some porn queen did it...that's wannabe. | |
|
| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 10:17:55 PM | Pardon me dear, a cleanliness issue???.....how could anyone wash themselves down there without getting soap on the hair? Your pubic hair is repugnant and inconvenient?? .....I guess it would be inconvenient, if you have to shave it all the time, but repugnant....really?? nature played a mean joke on you because mine is just fine. You say, we wear clothing now, so no need to keep the bush?? This must be a regional thing, because in the south, we discovered clothes at least a few days before we started shaving. quote..."Oh, and I never shaved because some porn queen did it.....that's a wannabe". Sooo, what you are telling us , is that you are the original "bush whacker" ...the pioneer of "slick kitty". It's a privilege to meet the one who started it all, .....now tell me, how much did Gillette and Shick pay you to get the ball rolling? | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 10:29:53 PM | I find it kinda funny that we as a species/society are so obsessed with "cutting" often things that don't *NEED* to be cut:
Mens head hair/facial hair Baby boys foreskin Dogs tails/ears Lawns Women pubic region
None of these "need" to be "cut" so why are people so neurotic about cutting these? | |
|
| The shaving craze Posted: 6/12/2009 10:33:05 PM | I wonder why miss_contemplative doesn't shave her head if body hair is so repugnant?
That includes eyebrow hair too? | |
|
| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 6:59:44 AM | mtn.lover,
Your posts are so funny that I actually had to read some of your other stuff (good point on the religion thread).
I hope to read more of your stuff. I haven't laughed so hard in ages!  | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 7:04:01 AM | | All these people who don't understand why we shave and indicate we don't need to because nature intended hair to be there, do you think we should stop shaving the legs and pitts to? If not, why not? Why one and not the other? | |

All these people who don't understand why we shave and indicate we don't need to because nature intended hair to be there, do you think we should stop shaving the legs and pitts to? If not, why not? Why one and not the other? Absolutely!
I've made it known in a few previous posts that I think women with leg hair and underarm hair are SEXY as can be!
The FEW times I've seen women with hairy legs and or hairy underarms, I can't keep my eyes off of 'em. It is an incredible turn-on! | |
|
| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 8:10:38 AM | | I'm 100% with you guys re the non-shaving and non-deodorizing thing, but around here we're just shoveling against the tide. Maybe Plentyoffish should have a subtitle "Dating service for the socially conformist body hating crowd". | |

Posted by monfil: I think the wicking factor has been ignored. Hair prevents the natural cotton fibers or silk to wick away any moisture, this is a hygiene issue. Warm moist places are breading grounds for bacteria etc. This is why men that body build, lift weights, etc. do shave. Of course many shave to see their muscles better. A doctor told me about this long ago. (That includes nylons not being a good idea to wear in the summer due to heat too.)
I agree. I can tell you that wearing cotton panties (which I do) wouldn't do a bit of good if I had hair. Hair gets in the way of circulation of air, then add another layer of clothing and you've got a sweaty and maybe unpleasant smelling coochie. Pantyhose is known to trap moisture and like you said is the creation of bacteria from sweat.
I shave my underarms, too both for hygiene and appearance. Arm pit odor on a hot day is greatly lessened because of it. I think there is nothing more unsightly than hairy armpits on a woman. As for pubes sticking out from a swimsuit, Ewww! Ok, since I'm a woman it would never be a turn on to me. You guys who are turned on by that more power to you.
As for you guys who think or imply us shaved ladies are trying to look pre-pubescent and those men who love shaved or very trimmed ladies are closet pedophiles, I really don't know what to say except that while a few men might have those fantasies or whatever, I can guarantee you that when I decided to shave it all off as an experiment one day, looking like a pre-teen girl was the furthest from my mind. I'll bet the majority of the women who shaved here feel the same way. In fact, that thought process never crossed my mine until I talked to a man about it and he expressed that it was akin to wanting to be with a young girl and not a turn-on to him and those that think like him. So the implication is that in order for him to be turned on a woman needs hair. Ok. Different strokes for different folks. I just never knew the lack of hair was such a big issue, especially where it relates to us ladies.
I like hair on men, though, especially chest hair. It's sexy. I'm not saying that I wouldn't be with a man that didn't have chest hair (whether he just couldn't grow it or waxed), but I'm just more turned on by a man who has it. It's either way on that side of the coin. | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 12:21:51 PM | Isn't nature such a fool?.... it doesn't have a clue why or what it designs for anything after 450 million years of evolution. Thank goodness we have our modern trendies to set things straight for creation. What is it about simple physics you ladies don't understand? Hair is there to allow FOR air circulation, to seperate skin from skin or clothes from skin. Do you ladies think that some of us men weren't around 25 yrs. ago and we have no experience in who has the most smell? You ladies with a bald kitty have more odor period.....don't kid yourself. I have experienced enough who have gone from bush to bald and back again and I can definitely tell the difference. For you men that would like to know if a woman is shaved or not before you ask her for date.....buy a cat, if it follows her, she's got a smoothie. | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 1:23:46 PM | Mtn.lover is right.
These women (and I think I saw a couple/few men) say “I shave it, because of *hygienic* reasons are spreading misinformation.
Are these people rolling around in bacteria infested mud?
Seriously has anyone with (I never had any problems with mine) an disease or sickness from having moderate/major body (pubic) hair?
And it doesn't cause any odor. Actually they say that pheromones get "trapped" in pubic hairs which is actually a *good* thing for sexual relations.
I just wish these women (& guys) would step forward and say:
"Yes, I've been culturally and or socially indoctrinated into this contrived *ARTIFICIAL* notion that I like/prefer/hygienically must have NO pubic hair!"
Sheep look *weird* after they have been sheared. So do dogs & cats. | |
|
| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 2:03:45 PM | | Sheep, dogs and cats look weird because they are meant to have fur/hair. It obviously serves a purpose for them have it. As for us humans, we are no longer cave men and women. | |

(Checks list of f-ckables) Nope! Sheep, dogs & cats are not shown anywhere on my list of sexually desirables! I don't give a shyt how they look, frankly, or feel to the touch. And I do "love" my dog. As a friend! (checking list) Yep! Third item from the top on my friends list. Now, if he ever taught me that amazing self-induced full body shake, which he uses to throw off the water when it rains on him, THAT would be pretty cool, and it might be nice to have full grown pubes just to test it out. But I really want to learn the shimmy for sex, with a human- that would be sooo cool!! LOL!

It seems you are human, Wildone, (looks down) and so am I, but I'm not so sure about the Amazing poster, or others who share his perspective. Always thought that archeological stuff was for, like, a job, not a sexual quirk. Maybe it's the new kink!!!  | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 2:46:01 PM | Wildone1207 then why don't’ you shave your head? Seems rather inconsistent of you. Or have you and you're using an old pic? “we are no longer cave men and women” is an arbitrary term and therefore incorrect.
Also they were meant to have hair, implies a "designer" which there is no proof of this. We by natural selection & evolution are much closer to hairy (@ least men on average) say like a bear, dog or deer then say an animal like a dolphin or elephant (who's hair is barely visible, thin and minute.)
Various theories concerning the function(s) of pubic hair include:
* warmth (primary) * visual indicator of sexual maturity * collection of secreted pheromones * reduction of external friction during sexual intercourse * since the pubic area is sensitive (as the head is) hair helps to protect said area * approximate indicator of exocrine pancreatic function * predictor of superior pole fullness of the breasts
I might want to point out #’s 3 & 4 which serve a major purpose as I said above w/ # 3. | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 3:56:18 PM | We have a criminal court, but ever wonder why we don't need a crazy court? The crazy punish themselves better than we ever could. I would love to sit in on a trial though. Prosecutor.....Isn't it true that you stepped on a nail in your neighbors yard last year and sued them for damages? defendant......well, yes, I do recall that. Prosecutor......is it also true that you took your settlement money and paid someone to punch holes in you eyebrows, tounge, lips, nose, ears and private parts? defendant....uuuuh, uuuh, well...duh, let me think...uuuh,ummm. Prosecutor....would someone please get the defendant a glass of water? Judge.....the jury has ruled that you are guilty of logical indiscretion of the first degree, I will now pass down sentence. Judge....what kind of punishment do you give to a person that looks like they lost a fight with pitch fork? Prosecutor.....I know your honor, make them take a razor to their privates daily for a life time. Defendant.....Yesssss!
No doubt about it, this time frame in history will go down as the "WTF?" years. | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 4:15:10 PM | Many valid points here... on both sides. Shaving is fashionable. In the '70s huge jungles were fashionable. Perhaps oral sex is more fashionable now and getting pubes stuck in your throat is not. It doesn't really matter if porn stars started a trend, but someone did, and that means that many many people find it attractive to see a woman (or presumably a man) with shaved genitals. It feels nice and different than a hairy region... this is especially true when administering oral on a woman. So, I prefer my partners to be shaved.
As for manliness... men should be men. Men should know how to change a tire, a light bulb, a furnace filter, and a hard drive. Men should be able to fix basic plumbing, electrical, and roofing issues. The reason many man cannot these days, is not because they are preoccupied with body alterations like shaving, piercings, and tattoos. It's not because their interest in their appearance has made them feminine. It is because there are foam grounds surrounding plastic playscapes. Because there are no fights in hockey. Because there are bicycle helmets. The overprotection of our youth that started about a generation ago has nurtured a nation of sissies. The television's portrayal of the average American shows no role models that are hard-working men and follow basic gentleman rules like pulling back a chair for a woman in a restaurant, and holding her hand when you walk down a sidewalk. At least, I think that's the case... I don't really watch television enough to know for sure; but I doubt ethics and manners are hot topics these days. | |

Probably the biggest turn off is hearing someone spit out a hair during oral. That's what happens if there is a jungle down there. Hair sheds.  | |

Not an old pic at all and I don't and won't shave my head because I look better with hair up there, but that doesn't mean I should have or need hair in the pubic region.
As for the indicators concerning the function of pubes:
My breasts are an indicator of my sexual maturity. No need to prove anything. Hmmm....collection of secreted pheromones. Like I said before, the vagina is self cleaning. Those secretions go right into the pubic hair along with sweat.
Oh, well... we can debate this subject 'til the cows come home. Next... | |

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 5:42:54 PM | I have floss in my bathroom cabinet if he's got food stuck in his teeth...I also expect some maintenance by my partner on his part, because, again, intimacy is not found by using his body hair to clean supper out of my teeth...
OMG!! ROFLMAO Never heard it put that way before! Running to the bathroom now to go bald!! | |

This is the funniest forum that I have ever been to! OMG, so I have been the au natural route, now I am trying the bald route, will get back with you all and let you know which is best in my opinion!!!

| The shaving craze Posted: 6/13/2009 8:17:56 PM | OMG, and another one bites the dust. Hey older guys, do you remember the days when you could ask a woman out and have a reasonable idea of what might be behind those panties? Are you gettin tired of being arrested for pulling dresses up for a look see before you ask for a phone number? Were you disappointed when you tackled that gal in the mall, only to discover she was wearing black bikini panties under that white skirt. Are you sick and tired of gluing mirrors on the toe of your shoes looking for the allusive panther pelt. Brothers...have you had enough of wiring up cameras under the toilet seats in the ladies room. Give me an Amen brothers! Has the friction of your five o'clock against hers, caused a small fire, burning the hair out of your nose? Give me an Amen brothers...give an Amen. Are you sick of pulling you hand out of their panties only to find that your finger prints have been sanded off. Amen brothers, Amen! Do you miss tying that long hair in a knot behind your head so she can't get away? We've got to stand together brothers, before it's too late! Carpet coochie is on the endangered species list and we must act now! Sell your Gillette stock and run the price to the ground. Sneak in all the ladies rooms and mist some pepper spray on all the toilet paper. Call your senator and congressman.....but do something now before it's all gone. Us genuine "get your face wet"muff divers shouldn't be surrendering our coochie over to these young tounge tickler sissies that complain about a little hair in their mouth. It's man meets bearded monster for an oral battle to the finish, that's the way it was and that's the way it should be. | |
