I prefer somewhere between an overgrown forest and barren wasteland myself.

So does this mean that women who want men to shave off their beards are pedos?

Fark_Guy_Rob: Chicken and Egg argument.....

Chicken and Egg joke:

So this chicken and this egg are sitting in a bar having a drink. This drunk comes up, and tries to be funny "So, who came first?" he asks. The egg looks at the chicken, the chicken looks at the egg, the egg turns to the drunk and says "Your Mother."

Another Chicken and Egg joke:

A chicken and an egg are laying in bed together. The chicken looks quite contented, and is smoking a cigarette. The egg, looking cross, says, "Well, I guess that answers THAT question."

I'm reading the article and he's relating the story about the 28 year old father bathing his children at a friends house. WTF is wrong with that dude? He watched porn for a week and was suddenly interested in putting his penis in an underage girl? I've been using porn for a long time (has it really been 20 years?) and I don't think I ever thought about what it would be like to have sex with one of the naked children around me, yeah kudos to him for doing the right thing and taking himself out of the situation, but really? "Porn made me do it" is the worst excuse for the most reprehensible behavior. I don't think it was the external stimulus in this case. I mean you've probably seen 1000s of people shot on television, but then you see a gun, does it make you fantasize about shooting or getting shot?

/With that said, your brain does pop some weird ass shiat into your head from time to time.

What a crock of shiat.

wth? grooming preference by women has no influence on my sexual attraction to them or anything else for that matter.

trimmed, shaved, waxed, it's all good!

the appearance of her pussy is secondary to the rest of her body

if you look at a bald one and think of children, then you need help. don't spoil the fun for the rest of us

Sock Ruh Tease: It's easier to eat out when you don't have to worry about hairs getting stuck on your tongue.

Dude. Lower.

rickycal78: imontheinternet: Shaving is more of a hygiene issue than anything. Porn doesn't change the fack that a shaved clam is cleaner. The rise of facials, OTOH, can be linked directly to widespread access to porn.

Raised in a pure pornography vacuum, a man would most likely still prefer shaved, but blasting his partner in the face would probably never cross his mind, and even if it did, I doubt he would want it to the extent that he would put forth the necessary effort to talk a girl into it.



Hell most of porn would never cross most people's mind in a porn free vacuum. I can see it now..."You know, it'd be hot if after going down the dirt road with my lady I had her suck me off." "It'd be a total turn on to slap this broad across the face and make her almost vomit on my junk and to see tears in her eyes." "Hey guys come here. What we're going to do is all take turns nailing this chick then we're all going to jizz in a cup and have her drink it. That's hot, right?"

factoryconnection: Getting away from porn for a while seemed to dry up these responses (see: the guy that lost his taste for huge, fake cans). They also addressed porn's effect on shaping sexual tastes. Certainly something has turned the ladies of the world on to all the things that are more routine now (exhibitionism, shaving bare, anal, other fun things...) that were rare or even verboten a generation ago. However, maybe I'm just getting old because I can't watch professional porno anymore... the sex is degrading, the women are fake/shrill/bored, and there's just nothing sexy about the sex. It all seems like a naked version of "Fear Factor." Amateur seems way better.

At one time, porn was made by filmmakers who couldn't make it in mainstream film, but they applied aspects of mainstream film. OK, none of this was Sunset Boulevard, but there was at least an attempt at humour, there was some sense of fun, or drama. You watch something like Candy Stripers 2 and it's a genuinely sexy, fun porno. You watch stuff today and it's completely mechanical.

Homemade's definitely the way to go, because people are having fun. No inflatable tits, less tattoos, and you don't know what's coming next.

1. I like to see what I eat.
2. child does not equal adult


/figure it out...if you are confused, wait 20 years, then try again.

Most porn also involves anal sex, so the viewer is also conditioned to buttocks as a cue for orgasm. Any naked, depilated bottom will then trigger the urge to orgasm, whether it belongs to a male, female or child.

Sorry, but a nice behind on a girl (to me, at least) really doesn't have anything to with anal sex. It's a nice curve to look at, and from a brain/hormone perspective is probably something seen as a measure of good health in a prospective mate. Another indicator is the waist to hip ratio, which is fairly steady across many cultures. Ethics and such aside, a child's body profile does not have a desirable waist/hip ratio to most people. Now, how this all ties in to anal sex and shaving is a mystery to me.

And by the author's reasoning looking at shaved vaginas will somehow eventually make this



look attractive to me. I ain't buyin' it.

However I will say that article was interesting and food for thought. It is very easy for the brain to make associations, sometimes inappropriate or unhealthy ones. I look at alot of porn and sure, it sometimes affects what fleeting thoughts might pop into my head. But I am still a human being and a responsible adult, and not some animal controlled only by hormones.

Having an impulse (especially one you already realize is wrong) is not the same thing as acting on that impulse. If for instance you simply acted on your impulses and fleeting thoughts how many times would you have strangled your boss just this week?

I've been with women who ranged from full on Wookie, to trimmed, to bald down there. I'm not going to say no to any of them, but I will say there is a direct correlation between how much fun I can create with my mouth and how little hair there is. It's all about easy access. Trim it up ladies and see how much more attention you get.

/have also found it works the same for me.

Yeah, because the only difference between a child and an adult is pubic hair. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE SHUTUP

Cymbal: With showers readily available to most people, I really don't see the point of having pubic hair. Or being circumsized, for that matter.

One word: chafing.

argh formatting fail there. hope it still makes SOME sense

Keep it trim, keep it clean.
I will make you feel like a queen.

l ike pubic hair, i cannot lie

farkeruk: Homemade's definitely the way to go, because people are having fun. No inflatable tits, less tattoos, and you don't know what's coming next.

Oh, but I do know what's coming next, and it's a 10-minute fixed-camera shot of a guy's hairy butthole as he pounds away.

HEY HOW COME we don't accuse women of encouraging pederasty if they shave their buttholes?

One time in high-school I was walking behind this beautiful girl in the hallway. Her tight jeans accentuated her athletic build and her lovely brown hair tossed softly as she walked. I think it's pretty safe to say the sexual areas of my brain were activated. Then she turned around, and I saw.... she was a DUDE...

Does that make me gay? Because either I'm gay and living a lie, or the writer of this article is an idiot.

That was an ... interesting collection of words. The author of which is seriously twisted.
Some Republican levels of projection going on there.

I've always preferred the hairless myself, even in HS the girls shaved their nether regions. I didn't even watch *that* much porn back then. I've been with maybe 3 women who didn't shave and its just not attractive, I like to see my meal while I'm eating!

I expected a very different thread after the first sentence in the headline.

And count me in on the trimmed crowd.

Mrs Maelstrom0370 keeps a landing strip. Having been a teen in the 80's, I remeber spitting out hair.
I appreciate some landscaping and have been guilty of a little man-scaping (I wear a kilt on occasion and totally get where knightofargh is coming from).
I once dated a very small girl who liked to shave completely. It was...a little creepy, actually.
I tried "Going Bare" once at the request of a girlfriend and aside from my overwhelmingly large p3nis (amirite!?), I looked like a very tall and pudgy infant.
I also have a 5 yr old son and have never gotten him out of the tub and ready for bed and had any thoughts other than "Sweet! Now I can play my XBox!"
I guess what I'm saying is, I like the fuzz factor somewhere in the middle.

/That and I wanted to work in the p3nis joke
//amirite!?

It doesn't mean you're gay, it means you probably could've banged that particular dude doggy style and enjoyed yourself.

Sorry to throw a monkey wrench into the argument, but sex with younger humans has been in existence since .... forever. Only in the last 300 years or so has it not been occurring as often. So, it's either slutty chicks in adult videos, or evolutionary hard-wiring.

Next week are they going to tell us that men like large breasted women because of breast implants?

Cyno01: Two Hearted: factoryconnection: the sex is degrading, the women are fake/shrill/bored, and there's just nothing sexy about the sex. It all seems like a naked version of "Fear Factor." Amateur seems way better.

I'd agree with that. Amateur tends to be more "real". That and Dancing Bear.

I never want to let my GF go to another bachelorette party. Seriously, whats the deal w/ that shiat.

That's not real.

Ravengirl: The person who wrote the article seems to be a borderline nutter, but I do take issue with the idea that unshaved women seem to increasingly be a fetish rather than a normal choice. If a lady wants to shave woooo feel free!!! If a lady doesn't want to shave, she shouldn't be told that she is unhygienic or gross as it seems our culture and many posts in this thread do.

*sigh* Look, it has to do with oral sex inconveniences and visually aroused partners. If guys were sexually attracted to that hair as much as what it often covers, we'd all have tribble porn on our computers. And no, I don't care if you found a partner with a hair fetish or someone willing to be so submissive that they won't tell you how they really feel, to most of us it's just in the way.

Be honest with yourself, if you were going down on someone with a massive bush... and I mean a wild and untamed tumbleweed-style bush that exceeds any genitalia in question by several inches, wouldn't you want it trimmed down if for no other reason than to see what you're doing?

Shadow Blasko: brap: I think it's a little weird that people are so freaked out by a bit of hair.

We're got damn mammals.

I think its weird that people seem to have totally lost the ability to understand that because someone has a preference does not mean that they are freaked out by something that is not their preference.

Must be so sad to live in such a binary state.

You think this is bad, check out the politics tab.

that bosnian sniper: Dracolich: Look, it has to do with oral sex inconveniences and visually aroused partners.

Just cause you can only fly VFR doesn't mean all have to fly your pattern. Some of us are instrument-rated, you know.

Careful, you're kinda sounding like a greenhorn. The first time something gets really truly tangled or caught down there, it's too long. Hell, it's just plain painful if it's a toy or something. Hell, zippers. It kinda stops growing outward for some folks as it curls around... for others it keeps spreading or is even straight and spikey. All I'm saying is that you'll end up cutting it down at some point. If you don't like doing that, cut it down further and you'll do it less often.

Trimmed is fine. Totally shaved is fine. Full jungle bush is fine, unless I choke on a pubic hair, then I will make her get out the weed wacker.

What a colossal disappointment.

The My Little Pony Killer: kim jong-un: GAT_00: jaylectricity: Grables'Daughter: I have never understood this.

People shave under their arms, and that's okay, but having hardwood floors is sexualizing children?

Nobody's having sex with your underarms. Well maybe yours, but in general, no.

It's a fair argument though. Both are technically childish. Why is one OK and the other not? Do you get turned on only by pubic hair? So why does it matter?

It's all about control, not control in a man vs woman manner, but in Man vs nature.

Humans HAVE to have certainty and control. It's known that people are more happy when they can predict the outcome of their life even if that outcome is negative. (see happiness in stable dictatorships vs unstable oppressive regimes)

We can hide pubic hair. But the style of dress for women exposes armpit hair. Due to the location it can not be controlled via combing or spray and thus looks untamed. It subconsciously makes us feel that either we or the unshaved person is not in control of their own body.

It puts forth the same message that uncombed head hair would. So we control it in the only way that works, we shave it off. Pubic hair isn't seen in similar situations, so it doesn't exist. If we were in a situation where we had to be pantless in social situations, shaving your nether regions would be as common as shaving a beard or armpit.

It's not about being childish in this respect, in fact, being unshaved is seen as more childish than being shaved.

Ever see a guy with an unkempt beard? Most opinions people have when seeing that are emotions/opinions we normally apply to adolescents.

So shaved = adult, mature, and powerful because unshaved gives the impression of a lack of control or power.



Human beings are mammals. We have hair. Your personal preference has nothing to do with the amount of control I may or may not have over my own body. All it does is push you out of my pool of prospective sexual partners, and I'm perfectly okay with that. I prefer my partners to be comfortable with themselves, not obsessed with appearing "in control."

oooh kay...

Look at the original question. 'Why is shaving your pubic hair taboo and your arms not?'

I don't care if your preference is for grizzly adams. One of the reasons we shave our under arms is because it is too hard to keep 'neat'. Some balding guys shave their head for the same reason as it's hard to comb thin hair.

Its not a judgement call on what you like, but rather why the 'style' of shaving underarms came to be.

Late to this, but just for the record, in the Year of our Lord 2012, there is not one single reason for a woman to have any hair on her body below her neck.

That is all.
