honest and hopefully non-offensive question about shaving....?

Question

.....the female "ahem" Can anyone concede that perhaps their erotic preferences stem from cultural manipulation? That maybe that's what I was trying to spotlight when I posted the admittedly antagonistic question a few days ago (that someone whined to the Grand Yahoozela about and got it yanked)?

Not here to impress anybody. Not here to get a date. Make a point once in a while, maybe, irritate people once in a while (there's something about folks doing EXACTLY what you provoked them do that gives some people the Mr. Hyde chuckle. Let the world beware. We're out there).

But what I was, and am getting at, is, for thousands of years, men were turned on by women being the way they were made. Are the few that still are now twisted fetishists? Because we like a woman that's comfortable in her skin, and the hair that comes with it? Who doesn't require her to spend a fortune trying to mimic the 2D bimbos in the mags we took to the bathroom as teens?

Who's really liberated here?

old man! cool. Somebody checked my bio. And I guess it should be obvious that from what is in there that everything in there is on the level. Actually I'm 81, or I was last week. Got my head stuck in the time hose. Ben Franklin owed me money. Came out of it feet first and now I'm 17. No, wait, that was the week before last. ****. Gotta go peer through eyeholes in the portrait. That way I can see you, but ya can't see ME while I figure this out.

last word.

Don't let it happen, people. Female pubic hair - on or off - is just a metaphor here. Any man worth his weight in potted meat would love his woman with a bush, without, fat, thin, with beautiful jugs or double mastectomied, sick and gray in bed and slobbering her last words through a dribbiling mouthful of lung butter. Then most of all.

We have the capability to be better than the people that profit from believing in, expanding, then profiting from the worst in our natures.

We do have the instinct, the capabiltity, and yeah, maybe even the inclination to be better than they depend on us being, despite having our innate sensibilities savaged and twisted for the worst reasons. Me included. I wasn't sharp enough to avoid it either.

But enough is enough. What are we?

Don't let what's left of the beauty of all of it get squashed into a TIVO tennis ball of a universe. We're going to need each other.

It's up to us. Shitty deal, but the one we got.

Answer 1

It creeps me out that men would prefer to see cleanly shaven... ahem. What, is that supposed to remind them of an 11 year old girl? Ugh, **not** cool, guys, not cool at all.

I hate razor burn, I hate having to shave my legs, underarms, etc. every day. What's worse, I hate the fact that I MYSELF feel gross if I don't shave... I'd love to slap whoever started this trend!!!

Answer 2

The truth of God is stamped on our hearts. Every human being feels a sense of longing for something better than this life. We all feel that our lives have a purpose, even if we're not sure what that purpose is. All humans, across time and cultures, have a vague recognition of having been separated from something better, and of the possibility of returning to that place after death. There is a universal recognition of good and evil (thou shalt not kill, etc) at it's most elemental level, even if we don't agree on subtle nuances. And don't forget the beauty of nature and of this great universe. You know that sense of awe you feel when gazing at a star-filled sky? Or whatever that stuff is when you look at ocean waves, or into the eyes of a lover? These are the obvious truths that point to God's existence. It may not be scientific, but does that make them any less valid?

Answer 3

I have wondered about this myself. admittedly, I am not a hairy person at all, but I do shave my legs and "down there" daily, just because I like the smoothness. I think it's a personal thing with women and they don't shave to please a man. Also, hair holds odor, so keeping the area smooth helps keep you fresher smelling, which is always a good thing, LOL.

I am fairly newly single after 18 years of marriage and surprised to find that now men seem to prefer the shaved look and feel rather than a natural womanly appearance. Is this a new thing?

Answer 4

Well........I'd stick with the hair that god gave me but it literally gets in the way of my everyday life. I can't stand having a wad of hair bunching up in my pants. Maybe if we went back to wearing whatever it is they wore thousands of years ago, I don't know. I don't keep it trimmed for anyone but me.

Edit: I don't know why people are saying there is an odor factor - that's really NOT true. Maybe you have something else going on.

Answer 5

For me the hair is just nasty. I started shaving some years back and I have loved it. My friend said she would never shave, but was compalining about the hair getting wet when she went to the bathroom, the hair getting pulled out by underwear and pads, the odor factor. I told her to try it one time. She tried it and she is happy, no more wet hair or hair pulled out or anything. I dont need hair to tell me I am a woman, I have curves and I know I am a woman.

Answer 6

Okay, I was challenged to do it once shave my girly parts, so I did. Then I got sick of all the hair down there and it smelling and still bleeding when I was off my dot {period} so I shaved it off, and kept shaving it off. I've never been happier. But, it's okay if you don't, some like the all natural look, I don't I prefer to shave.

Answer 7

wow your question is rather long. my thought on this is simply that everyone has their preferences for their own reasons, while you think that women should remain in their natural hairy state and men should like this there are some who think the opposite. i shave because it's rather uncomfortable to be walking around with slot of hair down there also it's a matter of hygiene fro me. hair will trap odor and i don't want to be smelling funky. it doesn't have anything to do with my hubby either because he likes it shaved or unshaved.

Answer 8

evolution. we have changed the ways we live and function in countless ways over the years we've been around. change is inevitable. maybe it was natural thousands of years ago to like non-shaved, but maybe not today. today may be different. i dont think a non-shaved "ahem" is appealing. but thats me. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. great question though. very detailed and in depth

Answer 9

Every woman has her preference. A woman who is "comfortable in her skin" will have a preference that she has, through years of experience, found to enhance who she TRULY is.

I have met lovely, spiritual, loving women who like to shave their genitalia. I have also met lovely, spiritual, loving women who like to grow their hair around their genitalia. I have met also lovely women who lighten the hair around the genitalia. Some women I have met even have added piercings or have braided their genital hair. All of these ladies were and are STILL comfortable in their skin.

My husband and I shaved our hair around our genitalia for years but now have grown it back. We have both always felt comfortable in our skin. I love the way the hair around the genitalia for both of us is turning a lovely silver...truly heralding the life experience and love we have!

Answer 10

what the crap are you going on about?
To me, shaving has nothing to do with pleasing a man, but pleasing myself. My husband has said a million times he doesn't care if I shave my legs, my armpits, anything. He's more of a feminist than I am. So if I do it, it's of my own accord.
You are just a long-winded old man.
AND it is better to provoke creative answers and thought in others than to phrase a question that people answer exactly how you thought they would. Why even ask the damn question then?
