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

[Anonymous]

When men of a certain age start shaving/waxing their back, sack, and ass hair, I could maybe start to consider more than trimming my bush.

People older that 50 have the sex?

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.

LOL. That sounds like my DH. He does not care about the state of my pubes.

I am a 52 year old and an expert home waxer. My DD who was in the swim team wanted her bikini line waxed and so I got special wax for that. To test it out, I gave myself a Brazilian, and found it quite nice. I had never gone to a salon to get a Brazilian, because of cost, time and modesty issues. I do actually like to be bare down below for a number of reasons - no gray hair, cleaner look, feels smooth and soft, more sensation during oral, clearer during my periods etc.

Anyhow, I recently found myself in another city and got a Brazilian in a salon for the very first time. It was frankly a horribly uncomfortable experience. It was absolutely painful and the hair just broke instead of coming out from the roots. I was bristly after the first day. The lady was actually ripping it out. She was done in 20 minutes or so. At home, using hard wax, I need at least 45 minutes to take everything off, off me. The pain is minimal and the wax lasts for weeks. The new hair growth is soft and not bristly. If a salon Brazilian would have been my first experience, I would have never gone bare again.

But, that's what pre-pubescent girl children LOOK like-no hair. Women who have gone through puberty have pubic hair. So: logic.

First, LOL! Because I can barely keep up with shaving my legs.

Second, Wow. Any man who puts me on the same level as a porn star... Well, I'd know what he truly thought of me. And he would not be someone I'd date.

They don't have breasts, 15 years of marriage history and a sweet ass. So: Logic.

Fake breasts, painful pubic hair removal, tattoos- why do people torture themselves to look like a porn star? Yikes!

I have 23 years of marriage history, the same amount of very small breasts I had at age 12, and my ass is neither here nor there. Your logic is flawed, oh Breastful One.

Um- I don't have tattoos or fake breasts and how I choose to groom my pubic hair is as up for discussion is how you shave your underarms-
Legs, or lip

Continue the discussion bush woman?

I didn't experience puberty until 15. I looked nothing like you did at 12 oh breastful one. Perhaps why I am aging better at 40:

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

Um, you tuck it in the sides?

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.

Great. Just don't tell me natural is gross.

If anything happens to dw, I am never going back to dating. All I need is some woman wondering whether I am concerned that she trims or shaves down there. Note: that would be the least of my worries.

I love both of you people. If anything happens to dh, we could have a threesome.

I think the confusion over this kind of management comes because some people don't really have that much pubic hair. And some people have a lot.

I have a friend who never shaves, never trims, ever. She naturally has a small triangle of hair that never protrudes from her bathing suit in any way.

I don't trim, because I find it actually makes my hair feel more coarse and prickly than when it is longer and curlier. But I have, let's just say, a widely spread area of pubic hair, onto my upper thighs. I do have to shave to get the small triangle that can be covered by your standard middle-age bathing suit.
