I've noticed that as young men grow more facial hair, women wax more. Instead of a bloke getting a face full of pubes, a girl gets a pussy full of face hair. Maybe there's a connection. Hmmm...
This hair removal thing has been getting up my gander for some time now. What's with it? I used to think it was a fad but its popularity is increasing.
Is porn to blame for all that waxing? It gets blamed for everything else so why not? But waxing must be worth it because women keep going back for more skinning of the cat and the results aren't always pretty. Besides the blood curdling pain, there's uncomfortable re-growth, in-grown hairs and cebaceous cysts that can get infected. A sexual health nurse friend of mine says if you've ever seen a vulva covered in red, pus-y spots as a result of waxing you'd never do it.
Yet lots of women say they love the feel of a bare mons pubis for the erotic feelings it invokes. OK, good - I'm all for that - dinner with the folks, work presentations and school pick-ups aside. And many believe and feel that it's cleaner. Many waxing websites attest to this theory, but the prevailing scientific thinking is that the purpose of pubic hair is to protect the body from germs and infections, not to increase their proliferation.
I understand that men like the feel of a clean shave (so do I) and no curlies to tickle and pull out of one's teeth must be nice too. And yeah, I can see that it's erotic for some - but so's a gimp mask, a nappy and taking it up the arse by a dominatrix with a dildo the size of double decker bus for some boys. So why the constant self-inflicted torture? If men didn't like it so much, I wonder if we'd bother? Then there's the whole little girl scenario. If you've got a young daughter it's just plain weird.
It appears that all that waxing has made men very finnicky. They're often turned off by a face full of hair and now even very young girls feel they have to comply. It's a nasty cycle. I say, 'If you don't like it, Bad Fucking Luck'! There's plenty of worse things not to like.
Personally, as you've probably guessed by now, I find a woman's bush highly erotic (although I am heterosexual so maybe it doesn't count). That flash of darkness hints of hidden delights - a true woman - spirited, sexual, mysterious, fierce.
Anyway, I've put three mannequins in the window this week with nothing on but a hairy bush. Oh the reaction!
HAIR. THE LAST TABOO.

Awesome post!!!! The whole no pubic hair has also crossed genders, it pretty much unisex now. But I do agree that the whole thing has come from the adult entertainment industry! and word around the grape vine is, that the hair is back ;-)
Yes, in the UK, the Guardian, last month's Elle magazine and this month's Vogue contained long, unruly articles, by Avril Mair and Rachel Johnson respectively, combing through the various strands of argument for and against total pubic purging. The hot topic for winter 2011 is clear: to bare, or not to bare one's labia?
