So, a friend pointed out this interesting discussion about the pube-style preferences of men and women, mainly concerning the double standard that most men prefer the Egyptian hairless cat look brought forth from the popularity of porn and the trite musings of the neurotic sluts on "Sex and the City," yet do little to clear-cut their own tropical jungle. Now, I don't know about double standard, but I do think that the proliferation of the Brazilian (or Boyzilian if you're a hard-core Metrosexual) is probably a manifestation of our insecurity over how men perceive what a woman should look like. That, or it's a backlash from bad 70's porn.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against women who choose to wax it all off or to grow it long enough to braid, nor do I think either choice is a socio-political statement about what having (or not having) pubic hair means to be a woman. What concerns me is the "OMG, GROSS!" attitude younger women and men have when it comes to The Bush. Nothing gets me more riled up when people talk about "smell factor" or "coming up from Downtown with a mouthful of hair." First of all, it's a vagina, they have a particular fragrance, it's called pheromones, and that odor will be there, pubes or no. Second of all, a whole mouthful of hair? Doubtful, unless she's blowing her coat like a Collie. Seriously, if the sight of pubic hair grosses you out to the point of you grabbing your clothes and fleeing the bedroom screaming, maybe you shouldn't be having sex at all, Nancyboy.
As for men going hairless? Well, I'll admit, it's a novelty I've only seen once and it wasn't so much as weird as it was disappointing. Guys are supposed to be hairy man-beasts that drink beer, belch the alphabet, and sweat motor oil, in my opinion. There's nothing I love more than a man with a hairy chest and dirt under his fingernails. Frankly, if I wanted to be with someone with soft, smooth skin I'd sleep with a chick.

Hello! I came across your blog on mnspeak. Anyhoo, I totes agree. I want a manly man with hair that will throw me down on the bed and roar. I don't want a sissy pants that goes to The Refinery more than me. As for the female bush, I say, whatever you are comfortable with. Ladies, it's your vagina. Don't let your partner dictate what sort of sexual activities they will or will not perform on you do to your pubic hair.
i have found myself trimming my pubes quite a bit over the past few years.
i've never shaved it all off like you see in porn but i think chicks like a guy who keeps it maintained down there.
So that's all it would take to get you in bed with a chick?
Hmm...
Norwego- welcome and couldn't agree more.
Carl- I agree, trim, but not too short as that tends to chafe. But again, I'm not that picky.
Kevin- all women are 2 drinks away from a lesbian experience.
i agree with carl. but at the same time, i hate the thought of women not keeping it looking good down there. at any point in time there is no need to let it become a jungle the guy has to hack through.
on post secret last week a secret was stated, "i found a dead spider in my pubic hair." that really grossed me out.
I'm old and bush is gross.
Srsly? Most guys I know at least trim it.
just like the hair on your head: keepit clean, keep it neat, keep it trimmed. shave it all off? let it grow long? long as it is neat, it is your groin, i am just honored to be there. and i expect the same attitude back at me. or get the fuck out!
Well said.
I like it all ways: bald or hairy as hell. I like the smell. MMMMMMM.
I have shaved my balls before, and it was fun too.
So there.
Eat me.
