Ever notice that in our Pornified culture...?

Question

It's now expected that grown women get their nether-regions completely shaved to look like a little girl?

What are we going to have do do next, chop our breasts off?

I was being sarcastic about having to chop our breasts off, but this Pornified culture is starting to irritate me.

I can understand the trimming thing to make oral easier but waxes and stuff to be bare like a little girl seems a bit much.

Oh and don't forget how anal is becoming almost a "must-do".

And Katiana, I mean this in the nicest way possible, too....I have been pressured by men to do this and I have a right to ask questions in yahoo answers about it. The pressure put on young women is immense and it's something I can and will talk about, regardless of what you want me to do or not do.

It involves ME and there are women who have posted who have ran into the same situation. If you disagree, that's fine, but don't tell me to shut up "in a nice way". You have no such right.

Answer 1

It's disgusting... I'm afraid to think about the future because men are expecting each woman to be more of a slut due to our pornified culture, and a lot of women LIKE IT because they think "OOOO YAY, guys like me!!!!" I wish I could do something about it, but I wouldn't know what! Start a rally? YEA RIGHT! Like that'll do anything... I bet guys would come up and start yelling at us to take our shirts off. It's revolting how women let men take control of how they should act, and I don't have respect for either one them.

My guy doesn't care if I shave or not, I just trim a little because it gets in the way when he goes down on me. It's natural... I don't get why it's so expected of us to become Barbie. What do you think we should do?

By the way, it's REALLY nice to be able to have a conversation with someone who thinks the same way...

Answer 2

I know, I was totally weirded out by the shaved vagina thing at first, too. I used to not shave at all down there. At all. Then my girlfriends told me EVERY girl did, so I felt like I was wierd. Now I just keep it trimmed, I think a grown woman should have some hair, it's part of what makes a grown woman beautiful. My current lover doesn't pressure me to shave. I really don't know how this trend began, I do know that a lot of women prefer being shaved regardless of what men think or want. But you're right, maybe we should start a movement similar to the bra-burning of the 70's, where we run naked en-mass through the streets with un-shaved pubic regions. Wait, that would defeat the purpose wouldn't it, because men would love it- lol

And don't be so hard on the men, ladies. A lot of the pornification of our culture is caused by women and thier competitiveness. Most of the men I know don't like the skinny, fake-breasted look at all, they prefer natural. We all just need to learn to be happy with ourselves and the way we look and stop trying to one-up each other.

Answer 3

yes, i understand your point. I don't believe this is a "pornified culture", but i have commented about this before, and as amazing as it sounds, people are now so brainwashed about the idea that they "think" (i like the word "assume" better) that not shaving is unhealthy. Just like they think shaving our legs is a healthy habit. What they don't know (and i didn't know either until i asked my gynecologist) is that shaving your genitals is the most unhealthy, unwise thing to do, because pubic hair protects the vagina from harmful bacteria. So shaving means a bacteria feast.Also, it may irritate the area to the point of blood and pain. It is an extremely sensitive area, so, to me, going through that only for aesthetic is nonsense.

However, to each his or her own, as long as my partner doesn't bother me about that issue, i'm fine with everyone who does do it.

Answer 4

Good question and you make an excellent point. I don't think everyone understand where you're coming from though.

I think the 2nd part of the pornified culture is that "all women are bi," they just need some encouraging to try out what is naturally within them.

I have no problem with anyone being bi. However, all women aren't anything - we are all individuals, and that includes no all are bi.

Answer 5

I mean this in the nicest way posssible...if it bothers you to shave, then don't do it, whether it is "expected" in this culture or not.

Each person is entitled to his or her way own way of expressing themselves sexually, physically or mentally, if some men and women are sexually stimulated by a shaved nether region, what's wrong with that?
To each his or her own. We don't all have to think the same or be turned on by the same things.

I think you should do what makes you and your partner happy and comfortable, and let others be. :-)

Interesting question, will star it.


Edit: Ha ha. Genius.

Darling, I never told you to shut up, perhaps you should re-read carefully.
Did exactly what you have done, comment and give an opinion...so you criticise my point of view just as you initially criticised other people's taste and way of thinking.
If you post your question in a biased manner, expect biased answers, we don't all have to agree, do we?

On a last note, thanks to furiousblue for the insight...if any of you ladies who read this feel pressured by your partner, then leave him or her.
It is your choice to allow yourself to be pressured. People only do as much as you permit them to.

If you are an independent, strong, clever woman who has self worth, you will be smart enough to not allow anyone to pressure you into anything.

Have a nice day everyone. :-)

Answer 6

It is expected that women go bare? I've never expected this of women. Though when they have shaved, it has led to more oral for them. If you want to get a feel what it is like for a man to go down on a furry woman, find a deep shag carpet. Put a small olive in the carpet. Now bury your nose/face in the carpet while trying to keep your tongue on the olive.

Answer 7

In my opinion, beavers were meant to be furry.

I'm not sure though that the shaving phenomenon is ALWAYS driven by a desire to look like a little girl. Some partners like the smooth feel, and I don't think every man who likes shaved women is a pederast...

And I disagree with the last line of your question--nobody "has" to do anything.

Answer 8

Nah......
It's time us women stopped comparing ourselves in a negative light compared to the 'ideal woman' out there and just be ourselves. Alot of women are guilty in believing in an ideal and it's a vicious cycle.
Men probably have their fantasies about the perfect woman(and it's being fed to them in Playboy,etc), but I'm sure that we've all read stories about plastic surgery being taken to extremes to try and impress men or be more beautiful than other women.
If we are going to do something to try and beautify ourselves or make us more attractive to our partners, then it's a give and take thing, we don't have to live up to anyone elses standards and especially not societies. It's strictly between ourselves and our partner, no one else.
Be comfortable in your own skin, it's your life and body, no-one elses.

Answer 9

I have heard people ask why a man would want a woman to shave that area when it makes it look like she is too young. The answer, astonishingly, had nothing to do with men wishing that the p*ssy they were screwing was a young girl's, it was because both parties feel sex a lot better with out the hair interfering with the sensations.

Answer 10

You always have the option of saying, "no." Besides, anyone who expected for me to do that would not be in my bed. I don't see anything wrong with trimming the wild beast down, but shaving completely smooth is over the top.
