Why don't women have full bush anymore?

I like chomping down on an ould gee sandwich. The pubes are part of the eating experience like chips with a kebab

Oh yes I would probably get my legs lasered also- the bliss of never having to shave them again :P - but I was told by a beautician that it is most effective on dark hair and mine is very fair so that's a no-go. I bet your arm hair is fine - I have a friend who is convinced hers is atrocious and mixes up some hair lightening cream in a little dish and puts it on her forearms to turn the hairs blonde - even though she has black hair and dark colouring. The hair on her arms really bothers her but I really cant see the problem with it!!

See, if my leg hair was fair I'd probably leave most of it alone! Mine is quite dark and strong thanks to genetics and pcos so I prefer to remove it. I think there is an alternative to laser, for people with fairer hair (ipl or something?) idk how effective it is though.
Haha I bleached my arm hair a couple of times when I was younger, it took AGES, no joke, I had to do one section at a time, it took hours :eek: then I thought "Wait, why am I doing this? I've better things to do with my time....":) The hair is not even dark, my arms did look nice when I had bleached it but it wasn't worth the effort:)

i don't enjoy a full bush.

Then if your arm hair is light and blonde etc your pubic hair would be. Lighter the area less noticed

Good points. I've personally never trimmed anywhere. I've a woman and she doesn't care. She says it manly but she never says shave. Only thing she sometimes says is my area below the genitals is is getting thick.

Hm well if you do decide to shave, use a mirror, and for Christs sake take it slowly!;) The perineal area is not a nice place to have itchy regrowth, so I wouldn't really recommend shaving there unless you're into discomfort:(

Nah, pubic hair an arm hair are different. The arm hair is kind of light brown? Looks darker in some light, looks blonde in other light.

Pumpkinseeds · 24-06-2013 9:55pm

I'd never really bother with my arm hair. It's light and really doesn't bother me. I'm allergic to wax and veet so I shave. I get my eyebrows and any other facial areas that need it threaded. I think a lot of this obsession with hair removal is silly to be honest. It started as a fashion fad then escalated from a pubic wax to laser hair removal. Ironically enough the trend is now for ridiculous HD brows that you can see coming at you 100 feet away:rolleyes:

People should just do what they feel comfortable with. Years ago I had to have ovarian cysts removed and had to have the pubic area completely shaved. I asked my husband what he thought of it and he said it was freaky and he didn't like it.

Exactly, a lot of the arguments against full bush are spurious.

It kinda reminds me of people using hygiene as a reason for circumcision. (Obvs a more serious issue than waxing)

Like I said, nothing against whatever people wanna do with their hair down there, just some of the reasons have no basis in reality.

Meh, I've found it uncomfortable on the occasions that I've let it get a bit overgrown. Kinda sore tbh and I don't feel as clean and fresh as I'd like to, despite showering daily. Maybe my skin in the area is particularly sensitive. I mostly just trim too, only shaving the lighter hair that's more difficult to trim. I'm not into the baldy stuff at all.

I started shaving mine years ago and I'd never go back to bush again, the oul axe wound in a gorilla's back isn't the look for me

Nesta99 · 24-06-2013 11:34pm

I work in operating theatres and for what its worth on a gyne list in my experience tis about 40:40 shaved or unshaved with the rest 'styled'. Been a couple of woaha moments with few zz top tributes! As for hygiene makes little difference either way though general consensus is that unshaved keeps the ph and bacteria balance better, reducing things like thrush, folliculitis, sweat absorbtion so less odour believe it or not. Tis a protective barrier from erm injury if things become a bit frantic in the heat of things. But everyone to their own as long as the odd shower is taken! Its when somone hasnt bathed shaven or unshaven and arriving in for an op that things can be a bit nasty (face masks are much appreciated then!!!).

LETHAL LADY · 24-06-2013 11:49pm

I have no idea being a virgin and all, but I would imagine that there is nothing worse than a pube or pubes causing friction burns or welts during intercourse.:eek:

Pubes don't cause friction burns...stubble can, though. And folliculitis is way worse than that, trust me.

Would the fuller bush not catch on the penis during penetration and therefore get pushed inside the vagina and thus cause friction burns internally?

Nope! not with secretions/lube - as said stubble is the enemy! well in my experience and the itch growing back for the missus. Was a nice surprise at the time but deemed not worth the hassle so once off - and shes a redhead and proud of it!!:D

Nope. For a demonstration of the principle, try inserting your finger into your vagina and you'll get an idea of the mechanics of it and see what I mean:)
Seriously I'm not being a smart@rse here. Besides is fun:D

mariaalice · 25-06-2013 8:16am

Its all to do with fashion.

What is strange is novel, or something like that.

In sexual behaviour something out side the norm acquires an eroticism, so now that shaving/waxing of public hair has almost become normalised it has lost a lot of its eroticism and the eroticism has transfered to having full pubic hair, primely becausing having un tended pubic hair is almost uncommon.

It is the same way something forbidden can become very erotic.

That's true! Once it was an uncovered ankle, now it's pubic hair..novelty and things that are "forbidden" can heighten the excitement:)

The thing to remember when it comes to stuff like 'doesn't leaving it natural hurt/cause infection/turn men off?' is to remember that Homo Sapiens have been around for around 200,000 years and for all but the last 20 or so of those years they have been shagging with pubic hair, even when the Victorians (ICBW) were shaving it off because of lice they were glueing wigs back on there. If it hurt or got infected, or was any kind of detriment, our species would either have died out or evolved out of it.

The spreading of your legs at penetration occurs will clear the path of any hair, and on the off-chance that a little gets caught up then you just move it with your finger. IME it's reported to cause a pleasant tickling sensation, I know that male pubic hair definitely does.

FWIW, I shave my bush when I feel like it (less than once a year), but I keep it trimmed. I shave my underarms and legs when they're going to be on display, and I never touch my eyebrows unless there's a hair sticking up. I also don't wear makeup. I've never had a problem in the romance department, which I put down to being generally clean and well presented (and loving movies with explosions. Men love a woman who can appreciate a massive fireball).

Is it fair to say you are a natural woman? I think all woman should be more like you... Society is changing due to magazines and porn... Like surely not all women around the world shave. I once said to my ex to not shave down below. She agreed and ever since has not. 5 years later still hasn't

There is. Lice! Lots of, ahem, secretions come from there and getting mixed in with tangled up hair is obviously not very hygienic. I know it's not necessary to get rid of pubic hair completely, but minimising it is definitely necessary for hygiene.

http://news.yahoo.com/endangered-species-bikini-waxes-wiping-pubic-lice-211923413.html

Pubic lice have plagued mankind for thousands of years, but the itchy pests are now facing a enemy that threatens to wipe them out: bikini waxing.

And because it's AH

Pubic lice are a different species from head lice, and evidence suggests humans caught pubic lice from gorillas some 3 million years ago (no not from human-gorilla sex, but rather from sleeping in their nests or eating apes),

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3715132.stm

Some head lice infesting people today were probably spread to us thousands of years ago by an extinct species of early human, a genetics study reveals.

It shows that when our ancestors left Africa after 100,000 years ago, they made direct contact with tribes of "archaic" peoples, probably in Asia.

Lice could have jumped from them on to our ancestors during fights, sex, clothes-sharing or even cannibalism.

Anyone feeling itchy after reading this ?

I guess it would be fair to say that, although I do dye my hair when I fancy a change.

I have heard that it's suggested that the increase in porn is changing the way people have sex, and I guess that changing attitudes to body hair would come under that. What they forget, though, is that the way they have sex in porn is for the camera; a lot of the positions they use are actually crap for having sex in but are done so the camera can see the angle, and that's probably why the hair started to be shaved off; as people started to want closer and more graphic views, and pubes do get in the way of that.

Completely agree... Porn is changing people attitudes which is not good. You would never see a natural woman on a porn DVD.... Like this should not be the case...

Agree with you and kylith 100% there, I have no problem with porn in theory but people do need to remember just how unrealistic it is, it's not meant to be an instruction video! I think it's particulary a problem for younger people because they start watching porn well before they've actually had sex. Porn is the only graphic image of the actual act of shagging they see, so it starts to influence them before they have the experience to know "That looks hot but it's probably not all that comfortable in real life"
I've said it before I think, it's all very well to see something in porn that excites you and think "Hm I wouldn't mind trying that" but people do need to remember there's a difference between doing things for how they look and actually experiencing them yourself. Porn - the video and picture kind - naturally overemphasises the visual to a degree that doesn't have much to do with the actual experience of sex in real life.

I think I'd choke on my pint if a woman told me, randomly and with some emphasis that she waxed her bush, okay? A bit like one time where a friend of a friend in mixed company declared that no matter how much a man pestered her she would never take it up the bum.
Personally I think the plucked chicken look is awful but for obvious reasons isn't a deal breaker. Or even a conversation starter.
