Yep, feminists say that this is the way, and not to let men dictate about where women should have hair. Could unshaven legs be next? Ugh...
 

I read that a while ago but thank God I've not seen any evidence of it. I remember a few years ago coming back from dropping my car off for it's annual service at the garage I got on a bus for the first time in about 20 years..and sat opposite me was a lady in a summer dress and bare legs, and I kid you not you could have taken a hair brush to the growth on her legs!! It was revolting, and altho' I was trying desperately not to look I couldn't help giving a sideways glance. Gross!! I've never forgotten it!!
 
It is interesting how we came to prefer the hairless look considering how females were originally as hairy as men for the most part...:confused:
 

Yes but that was back when we were more like animals...I mean a Male bear doesn't turn it's nose up at a female bear today cuz she doesn't shave her legs or any other parts..LOL....we've evolved that's what makes the difference between us and the animal kingdom
 
As a teenager I went to see a German language movie and the leading lady was Romy Schneider. She played a princess and she did not shave under her arms. Romy was gorgeous and it was the first time I realised how much we accepted the Hollywood image of womanhood.



On a related matter, when did the hairy chested leading man disappear from the screen?
 
But did Mommy Nature decide hairless is better, or some women, or men, or what? It is certainly more work for women, and waxing is painful...

It IS interesting isn't it.. I contend that it's societal in that the concept of "Beauty" for a lot of men tends to lean toward the nubile prepubescent females.. So if men feel that this is desirable then so will women. It all goes back to the most base of instincts.. wanting to be able to snag a mate.

Davey... what makes hairlessness more attractive? The unfortunate fact is the ADULT women have hair.. just as ADULT men have hair. They have it under their arms... on their legs and on their privates.. It's only unattractive because society puts more value on youth and prepubescence. Men have been turned on by immature females for ages.

I'm thinking the youth culture has drifted over to males.
 
Aside from the issue of what is attractive or unattractive, I prefer to remove the unwanted hair because it just feels better. It feels cleaner and more sensual.

Why? Is that really true? Or is it what you have been taught to believe? Hair on men is not thought of as being not sensual.. and are men dirty?

Good point Glinda. You're probably not alone in that thought.

So if that's the case... are YOU planning on a good waxing and pubic shaving? How about your pits? Shaving them soon?

and for the record... I shave my arm pits and legs... because I find hairy pits and legs unattractive on women.. BUT.. I am honest enough to admit that it's not because of any trumped up reason of cleanliness or sensuality... It's culturally ingrained.. and being a part of this culture, I am not immune to it's pressures..
 
There's nothing sensual about stubble on a woman or on a man. Soft downy hair, on the other hand, can be stroked or otherwise toyed with. It is designed to react to the slightest touch. Now that is truly sensual.

As I get older I am more aware of absence of hair, on the head, on the legs and on the forearms. Young people are much more naturally hairy. Instead of being embarrassed by this, someone should tell them that it is a sign of youthful vigour and nothing to be worried about.

This is true.. as we age, we lose our hair.. I don't have what I used to have... obviously a sign of waning sexuality... as is normal when we age...
 
I have never been a Hairy person..I do shave my underarms but what little there is only needs doing about once every few months.. legs more often, perhaps once a month..and really none on my arms at all. I get my eyebrows waxed every 8 weeks and pluck them to keep thm tidy in between . One of my sisters is very dark haired, and her arms are very hairy for a girl, and she doesn't shave them ( she shaves her pits) but not her arms..

My enjoyment of hairless skin has nothing to do with how my hair - or absence of hair - is perceived by others. It has to do with how my skin feels to me after I remove the hair. A soft breeze, a gentle wave of warm water, or a silky fabric on my hairless legs feels better to me. That's what I mean by sensual. As for men, it is up to them whether they consider their hair sensual or not. Are men dirty? Yes, some of them are. Some of them aren't.
 
I think we need to think about WHY hair on adult men is pretty much accepted... while the same hair on adult women is considered gross an not as sensual as hairlessness on women.. If you are honest... it's because nubile prepubescence has always been considered sexy and is sought after by men. These notions will carry over to women if they think it gives them an edge with attracting men.

I think it's partly that hairy men is just out of vogue. That being said, perhaps the dropping testosterone levels in males is making hairy chests a thing of the past.
 
I shave my legs and pits but would never, for anyone or anything, be waxed into Barbie doll perfection on my privates. That's just torture. :playful:
