I slept with a guy who shaved his legs (and he had a lot of leg--he was 6'5). He was just entering the stubble stage. I guess your average sex-expecting woman might have touched up before seeing the person they'd thought they dated four or so years ago, but since he was doing it for cycling, I don't think it occurred to him.

THAT'S A FUCK OF A LOT OF STUBBLE THERE, KT.

I mean, it was still fun, but if I was his GF I might have to lay down some rules for my own integumental safety.

Oh dear, ita. I am trying to imagine and... ow.

I've told CJ not to expect a girl to shave/wax anything he isn't willing to shave/wax on himself.

A lot of guys shave, or at least trim, their chest hair these days. Pubic hair too.

I give you what I hope is at least half in jest, the spornosexual. Warning: you can't unsee it, so click with caution. Moderately NSFW.

I suspect it started with the porn everywhere but a lot of younger girls (than me, still sexually and emotionally mature) just started shaving and have kept going. Seems to be a trend. Like frosted tips. Then again, a LOT of people are younger than me. So I don't know when it started seeming normal. Growing up, the glimpses of porn I saw, women had pubic hair usually.

Then again, I am bitter I am expected to shave my underarms. I get razor burn and ingrowns (autocorrect wanted to make that 'I frowns' which is also accurate.) under my arms. But I willingly shave my legs every shower because the hair is easy, it keeps my skin unbumpy and I don't like stubble. So even across my own body, my hair, opinions and mileage vary.

but he's also saying she has a criminal record for lewd acts--that she was caught by the cops rocking a car fingering a woman. Now, that's a hell of a finger, but that's hardly the point--

Okay the whole sutuation is terrible but, hey, that's a hell of a fingering.

My suspicion is that it's a result of how many people are basically introduced to sex through porn, because it was big in porn long before it took off (us, so to speak). In which case, not actually a big deal, just a lack of experience (uh, sorry, keep hitting the double entendres) with pubic hair IRL.

I think if I weren't the mom of a preteen it might not hit my "hell the FUCK no!" button so hard, but as it is it looks to me like wanting to pretend to yourself that your lover is premenstrual.

I agree with all of this. Also:

I've told CJ not to expect a girl to shave/wax anything he isn't willing to shave/wax on himself.

I've told Tim he'd better be fine with me not shaving my ladybush, and he said, "Sure, as long as you're fine with me shaving mine." So...anecdotal TMI on guys doing it. Or at least one guy.

I've killed a full box of kleenex. So over this. All post-nasal drip now.

Is FB acting up for anyone else? It will only show me a few posts at a time, somewhere between 1-4.

David, K-Bug graduated from Sonoma State with a Kinesiology degree. And lived in the dorms all three years. If Emmett has any questions I'm sure she'd be happy to talk with him.

What?!! Very useful information. Winters and Morimoto it is!

Burrell, I had that problem a couple days ago, but a new fix of Social Fixer made it go away.

In my face hates carrots news. I slept pretty well but woke up with it in spasm again. Good fucking morning to you too. I have applied Lorazapram, a heating pad, and Mulan. So far so good.

Of all the places on my body for something like this to happen why did it have to be my mouth? I have had dental phobia for years and now with each pulse of pain it sparks that fear. I know I'm up to date on current dental stuff but it still makes me think all my teeth are staging a revolution against me.
