Really, truly for the 50+ set: When /why did we need to start ripping out our pubes, too ?!

[Anonymous]

People have pubic hair for a reason- to prevent chafing during sex which prevents the risk of infection from skin breaking down.

get some

Op ~ you are dating men who want to "get some"
There are greater problems w/these men.

I'm only 40 but I have never waxed and don't understand the appeal. If any man looked surprised to see my pubic hair, I would be showing him to the door. "Oh, you prefer pre-pubescent girls? That's a huge mood-killer for me. K Thx Bye."

I am a 50+ male. If I get there, I don't care if there is hair or not. But, IRL, I will say, I have never been with someone who shaved/waxed. It was not a thing when I was single.

People that complain about any woman down there must be getting a lot more than I ever got.

Oh, I am all natural; I do shave my face (sometimes); my hair occasionally is trimmed; and I have Chest, Back, Arm, Leg, and Pubic hair. The only times any of those are shaved are for the (too frequency) medical procedures. I will say, I can see the point of shaving the chest after trying to get the Cardiac Monitor leads off my chest from several days ing the cardiac care unit.

Born in 1965. I too have been surprised at men who expect that. I simply say that I'm not interested in taming my bush, but understand if it's a deal breaker. One guy really pressured me to shave completely, but I told him I didn't want to, and couldn't be bothered to trim either. I have no problem with men of any age wanting that, it's just not me.

I am married to a guy who is probably very "normal" sexually and also very ... Verbal. He loves sex. He wants it frequently and talks about it a lot. He likes women in general but isn't cheating or anything - he simply appreciates attractive women. He is a horny guy!
Sometimes I shave and sometimes i don't. He doesn't care. If I am on the hairy side he says "I love bush." If i am shaved he says "ooooh bald, I like it."
My point is that a guy who enjoys sex enjoys sex regardless of the amount of hair (within reason I suppose). A guy who is particular about pubic hair style and stupid enough to announce it? Throw that fish back in the sea. He's probably not so great in bed anyway.

Nope. I never have. Why bother?

Just don't do it, OP!

Any guy that complains is beneath you ... or should be at the time.

I mean this in all sincerity, but how do you fit that bush in a bathing suit??

I shave/laser because I prefer it. I have beautiful breasts and have birthed three children with my husband by my side. TRUST me, no one would confuse my womanly body with a pre pubescent child- nor does my husband prefer children. Your assertion is perverse. How about we allow women the right to own the body and body hair that THEY prefer, bitch. That's part of being a feminist.

Thank you god! I'm so sick of people saying it makes you look pre pubescent. I can't stand the icky, scratchy feel of pubic hair. Maybe if it was nice like the hair on my head, but it's not.

Wait, didn't the PP say what she prefers? I don't think she cares what you prefer, she only referenced what a man might want. On the plus side, neither of you will have to duke it out over a man who prefers one or the other.

The inference that a woman who preferres to shave is akin to a pre pubescent girl, or that a man who LIKES that is therefore someone who would like having sex with children is perverse. Period.
