Women and not shaving

In winter and when I dont have a man to shave for i usually will let the hair go for a little while..but when i have a man i like to be shaved...I pretty much have those hairy moments because im lazy..shaving can be a pain...although i think i kinda liken the hair more..but i still like the baldness too..

 

I think it's down to the individual in the end. Personally, I don't wish to pander to this notion that a woman's beauty lies in her lack of body hair. I wonder where it started? I think the celts, male and female used to remove their body hair. I would do it for practical reasons, for example, to heighten sexual pleasure but never just for 'beauty's' sake. I hope I haven't offended anybody. This is only my opinion x

 

i think it came out of any area where body lice could become a problem. probably started in the arabic world, since the region is ideal for the propagations of body lice and access to water occaisionally scarce.

 

yuck

 

leg shaving took off in the uk because during the war, women couldnt get tights on their ration cards, so instead of covering their legs with tights, they just shaved instead.

and i agree about the arab world - lots of muslim women go thru a procedure of body hair removal, they make up their own solutions and stuff (like a caramel) and smear it on and essentially wax their bodies pretty much all over.

 

Was that "like a caramel" or "like a camel"? Har har.

Tights (pantyhose) hadn't been invented in the forties, but nylon stockings had just become available in America , and were very popular on the wartime black market in Britain.

And body lice live in people's clothing, not on the body. If being unshaved encouraged lice, wouldn't men have them, in the Arabic world or anywhere?

It's a tired old statement, but there's nothing wrong with body hair. Hippies ought to be the first to refuse to follow "normal" standards of appearance, and/or what Mom says.

 

i think the reason women shave is because of the media. the media makes people want to be something they're not. there's nothing wrong with not shaving!

 

See there's more to it then that, maybe the media help starts a trend, but to make the point, poll time, how many people here who shave do it solely for other people vs the fact they actually prefer how smooth skin looks and feels.

 

true that. i like how my skin feels when i shave i think that's the reason i do it, i'm not too sure. i don't even remember when i started.

 

Puberty along with everyone else, even though it's a pain in the ass, the fact of having the ability to need to shave, face, legs, pits or whatever is a sign of adulthood to girls and boys

 

It would be great to see more young women embrace their natural body hair. I accept many girls start shaving legs, etc as a rite into adult womanhood as expected by cultural conditioning, but maybe if they grew their hair out some may actually find it isn't ugly but natural + an attractive part of them.

 

Natural is not always better though, I think my hair looks better when I wash it with horrible chemicals, I think my face looks better with no facial hair and my legs feel better with no leg hair.

 

sorry, i should have said pubic lice.

at any rate, i hate hair and you people are just gonna have to learn to live with it. i don't like long hair on men or women, very hairy people give me hives and bushy beards are just plain ugly to me. also, dreads are grotesque.

 

yup yup, except for the bushy beards. Sometime sI like to get my grizzly adams on.

 

i tolerate it only because i love and know you'll get sick of it..

 

nylon stockings and tights are the same thing to me =D

 

over here tights are the opaque fabric stockings. nylons are the more see through sort.

 

they probably are here too, but im quite ignorant about these things cause i wear neither.

 

i can't be bothered.
