For awhile I have been mega busy & I guess this set of people making me busy are gonna continue for some time so bear with me and my skeletal post *sad face* Residency na bastard!!!!
Now for today's topic..
We’ve all got it, well hopefully whoever is reading this has already got to puberty and has a little bit of a bush downstairs. First off, it’s your body so you do with it what you like. If you like to maintain it, cool, and if you don’t that’s fine too. It’s your business. If you want to compromise with your partner that’s also your business. I’m not going to tell you what to do with your lady bits, that’s up to you.
We grow hair on our bodies for lots of reasons. Important reason or evolution would have gotten rid of it by now, were it not necessary. Although pubic hair may not be the most attractive area of body hair, it does serve a function. The most important being a sort of cushion to protect against all that bumping and grinding. It also helps to send signals to potential sexual partners that you’re interested. However, this hasn’t stopped people from removing and developing aversion to it. In fact, ladies have been shaving for centuries.
Going back to ancient times, as far back as 4000 to 3000 BC, women were removing their pubic hair to keep things down there nice and clean, and free from lice. Fun things they had to deal with back then. Other cultures and religions, often professed that a woman’s vagina was dirty and unruly and preached that the removal of pubic hair was a necessary part of proper hygiene. However, nowadays we thankfully don’t have to worry about lice, and we shower (hopefully) so removing pubic hair isn’t extremely necessary for our personal health. Therefore, it’s more of an aesthetic issue.
In the 1870s dermatologists started becoming very interested in the area of hypertrichosis (excessive hair syndrome) among women and their studies trickled out among the American public. During 1915-45 women, especially middle-class white women, were subjected to intense messaging to the female public that in order to be feminine and attractive, you needed to be completely hairless. New fashion trends were coming in which encouraged this notion. Strapless dresses called for hairless underarms, and shortening skirt length encouraged hairless legs. The knee-jerk response to when women started wanting to remove pubic hair is because of porn, which we now know is not the case. In Playboy magazines of the eighties, all the models’ pubic hair was neatly trimmed but still there. However, in the nineties it gradually disappeared. So the media just keeps telling us to get rid of the bush.
Whether it was the porn industry, inherited fear of pubic lice, religious beliefs or just wanting to be naked in our nether regions, now things appear to be swinging back the other way. Whatever the reasons that it became a trend, it looks like now it’s becoming more and more acceptable to do what you like. Wherever you stand on the issue of whether or not to do some gardening on your lady bush, there are some reasons that would influence many’s decision. Whatever your decision it’s your choice.
Completely Bare
Some claim that it feels more hygienic to go completely bare downstairs. Hair retains smells from sweat and sexual pheromones are released from your lady bits to let your sexual partner know that you are up for it. However, some people really don’t like the smell. It can be quite pungent at times. Hair holds onto the scent and makes it last longer so by removing it there’s less sweat and less of a pheromone smell.
Nicely Trimmed
Some girls prefer not to go total and just keep their bikini line bare and the rest short. Easily manageable, but you do have to keep on top of it and be wary of razor rash. It can be super sensitive down there. This way girls don’t need to worry about wearing swimsuits and having a bit of bush showing, all you really need to worry about is stubble burn and razor rash.
The Natural Look
For the lazy girls, the girls that don’t really care, and the girls that want to make a point that they just don’t care what the guys/girls in their sexual life think about their lady bits. Their vagina still functions, so they’re still a viable sexual candidate.
Whatever you like, go out, have fun and enjoy yourself. Just keep your vag clean!
