Bring back the pubic hair!
If porn is anything to go by you’d think that women by and large did not have pubic hair, or if they do, it consists of a tiny patch left on top in the shape of a landing strip. Yesterday, I was looking at reviews of adult sites and one of my favorite lesbian sites received comments like, “It’s great if you like hairy girls”. I always thought that the term hairy in the porn industry referred to women with an excessive amount of body hair, more than the average woman would have if she didn’t remove it. The reviewers comments merely shows that these days pubic hair is so rare, that liking girls who have chosen not to remove their pubic hair is almost considered a fetish in itself. From the shaven crotch shots of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, to the popularization of terms like Brazilian in our vernacular, to the growing number of establishments offering pubic hair removal, acquiring a hair-free snatch has never been as popular or easy.
A friend of mine recently started laser treatments to permanently remove most of her pubic hair. She had planned to remove all of it but I convinced her she may one day change her mind and she agreed and left a landing strip on the mound. While I have experimented with the full Brazilian and think it’s a fun thing to do occasionally to spice things up, my mainstay has been the neatly trimmed look. Actually, I’m in two minds about this trend to remove it all. Firstly, while I think fully shaven looks great on some women, like heads, I don’t think it suits every pussy. Secondly, I think pubic hair can often look sexier, especially in erotica.
Definitely a woman!
There was no nudity in my home when I was growing up, so I caught my first glimpse of a woman’s naked body courtesy of a local mechanic who’d given my dad, like all customers in those days, a complimentary nudie calendar. He’d put the calendar inside a cupboard door in his garage and one day, while searching for sandpaper for a school project I came across the calendar. Unable to tear my eyes away, I took the time to study each picture carefully, noting the heavy dark-nippled breasts, come hither poses, and of course the dark thatches of pubic hair. I recall one woman sitting on a chair with legs spread, her dress positioned to expose her pussy, the dark thatch of pubic hair providing a stark contrast to her pink folds. The secrets her womanly body held must have aroused me because later I asked my friend to draw me, while I posed as I’d seen in the calendar, and she added the breasts and pubic hair I had not yet developed. Like all good things, our art session ended when my mother walked in on us.
Another pubic hair related memory involved an older neighborhood girl who had already gone through puberty. We’d go swimming at the local public pool and I can still remember being directly behind her on the ladder as she’d climb out of the pool, and there would be dark hairs poking out from her bikini bottoms. I’m sure that summer she provided the neighborhood boys with enough material to launch a thousand hand jobs.
Old school sexy when women looked like women.
Maybe because of these early influences I still appreciate how sexy pubic hair can be. That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the fully shaven look too – I can. In fact another one of my favorite lesbian sites features mostly shaven girls. But more often than not, and especially when it comes to still photographs, I think pubic hair is so much sexier. What could better spell sex than the combination of sheer panties and the dark triangle of womanhood?

You measure womanliness based on the absence or presence of pubic hair? For the love of god.
I personally hate going down on a woman with pubic hair, and I dislike the unkempt appearance that significant amounts of pubic hair provide. I just think it’s cleaner, neater, and much more fun to go down on if there’s no hair there.
And I sure don’t measure one’s status as a woman based on whether or not she has hair in her crotch. Just…wow.
Here, Here!!! Bravo and Amen! If that wasn’t clear, I fully concur, agree and will support forever a pretty and well groomed fuzzy pussy.
Gia, I agree.
Let’s bring back the pubic hair!
One thing you forgot to mention in your text about this is the fact that a pubic mound and outer lips covered by hair preserves much more of the sweet scent of a woman.
Of course the absence of pubic hair does not mean a woman is not a woman, but the presence of pubic hair on a female is definitely indicative that she is at least post-puberty.
I don’t have a problem with a shaved pussy. In fact, some of my favorite porn sites seem to only feature shaven girls. But I do believe that the enthusiasm for hair-free pussy has a lot to do with men (and women) having negative a negative attitude to the female genitalia, seeing it as something dirty, messy. I think the movement in porn (and unfortunately society) is a kind of sanitizing of the pussy. It doesn’t even stop at the pussy. Anus bleaching – come on!!!
Consider the cock for a minute. Once upon a time an uncircumcised penis was thought to be dirty. Now if you even suggest circumcision for baby boys you’ll get an avalanche of opposition. Now I’ve sucked both cut and uncut cock and regardless of hygienic practices, uncut cock does taste different, less of a scent, less flavor. Yet I think the funky flavor/scent is what makes a cock a cock. While we’ve accepted men the way they are, it seems women are preferred with the pink, smooth, almost sterile look.
The point I wanted to make was that I think the trend towards hairless pussy is less to do with aesthetics and more to do with women once again being made to feel that there is something gross about them.
Give me a guy who wants to devour my pussy, whether it’s shaven, trimmed or natural, any day.
I agree with Gia – women have been led to think that hair by definition is gross, and men expect them to get rid of it. For me, a full bush is Woman in all her glory.
I disagree. I think pubic hair or lack thereof is the choice of a woman, regardless of what others may think. Hell, there was a period where I quit shaving my legs cause it was a hassle, but I still shaved my snatch. You know why? Because I felt cleaner. Because I would get less sweaty in my girlparts. And I’ve got to tell you, hairy legs are a lot more easy to notice and socially taboo than a hairy puss. I’m a feminist, and part of that is accepting all parts of both sexes; the “feminine” woman, and the other. I’m not a particularly feminine woman, but I happen to like my monds pubis hair-free.
