Attitudes to your body hair

In high school I used to shave my legs and pits and trim the pubes, and also bleach my slightly visible hair on the side of my lip. Once I thought about why I was actually doing that, I realized that I don't actually give a shit if I have hair on my body, it's just part of me, and shaving is a waste of time, money, water, plastic, etc. I still trim down there occasionally just because it's more comfortable and cleaner when i'm on my period. but now i love having leg and pit hair =D

 

i dont shave. nope, nothing.
who wants to look prepubesant? i think bare pits and genitals just look silly. or creepy.
plus, my hair feels awesome. having pit hair actually helps regulate your temperature. its keeps you warm in the winter, and when you work up a sweat it gets wet to cool you down. with my legs, i just dont care. my mom wants to wax them for me so i will look good in skirts so im going to let her, but just for the summer. i just hate stubble, its so itchy and aweful.
on other people, body hair is a total turn on for me.

 

oh, also, i go commando all the time. if i was bare down there, it would feel terrible! plus, shaving genital areas isnt very healthy. your hair acts as a net to keep random stuff out and to protect your sensitive parts.

 

I have actually noticed it having the opposite affect.

 

and it gets smelly really fast. i will never like body hair. it makes me hot, smelly and itchy.

 

Yeah. uugh. stink trap.

 

I shaved for about three years before I realized I really didn't need to. The only reason I was doing it was to follow the others. Why not carve your own path, screw the american ideals for the female body, do what you what.

 

I shave my bits but know no other males that do. I guess i'm carvin up my own trail too. Groovy man!!

 

Meh. I shave my hair (legs, pits) every few months... let it all grow out... sometimes I just feel indulgent and like the feel of my soft, smoothe legs. Othertimes I don't give a shit. The boyfriend doesn't seem to mind eitherway, but gets all "Ooooh..." when I shave the leggies. We are both impressed wif mah treasure trail In fact, I find it kinda sexy, on myself and other women alike. Don't ask me why!

 

Perfect. Just do what pleases you and the fella. Thats all we do.

 

i don't grow a patch. i grow a pelt.

 

see, the thing is, i AM carving my own path. it just happens to coincide with the paths of others, just like yours does.

 

yeah, treasure trails are way sexy on girls and guys :hurray: i wish i had one. its funny, my hair is really dark and thick, but my belly is bare.

 

fwiw, i dont htink theres anything wrong with shaving and i think everyone should do what makes them happy

 

Creepy huh. I like to use the word clean.

 

omg, i kinda gag a little in my mouth when i think of wet pit hair...

 

btw, it should be stated, i have a thing about hair in general. it kinda makes my skin crawl. especially REALLY long hair. it's always bothered me, it always will, i think. one of my good friends had super long, dark curly hair. sometimes it would brush against me. *shuddders* just thinking about it makes me shiver.

 

I really really really hate hair! And I have to remove ALL of it apart from the hair on my head!!

 

When I was a teen I was really self-conscious, and I stupidly shaved everything EVERY DAY. Not good for my skin.
Now I shave my pits more often than my legs (usually every few days unless I'm not going anywhere. then I just let it grow.), since the hair on my legs is very fine and not noticeable until it gets thick. I usually shave my legs once a week. My bikini line goes unshaved until it gets itchy, which is usually after 2 or 3 weeks.
I'm soooo much more comfortable with my body now than I was then, and getting myself together is not so much of a hassle.

 

This is all way long so whatever I say will no doubt be wrong. But for me this body hair thing has gone bad. I used to have alot of hair on my head back in the 60s it was down to my shoulders. Not much hair any were else. But now that I am older the hair on my head is going away. But I have hair growing all over me now. Even some on my back. I even have to check out my ears to make sure it is not growing out of them. My chest is a mass of hair. I don't understand this shit. Whats going on. I want hair on my head not my ass.

Peace
