 Re: Pubic Hair Fashion
I usually happily express my preference for unshaven women, whether they be natural or trimmed. I certainly don't want to derail this discussion any further, which I border on doing sometimes. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that there are a couple of logical reasons for shaving or trimming pubic hair, such as to increase the sensations of touch to the labia majora, and to prevent longer hairs from clinging (oh, it's tough for me to speak somewhat in favor of shaving....haha..). On the other hand, there are hardly any such reasons for women to shave their underarm hair.
It all started when King Gillete ran an ad in Harpers Bizarre magazine way back in the first half of the last century. He first desingned razors for soldiers to use, then realized that he could possibly market them to women for fashion. The first ad depicted a woman wearing short sleeves and dancing with her arm raised. It said something about "shaving indiscriminate hairs". That is how underarm shaving began, and leg shaving occured decades later. |
