 <title>No tarantulas here!</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-78208</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;sqq&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;sqq&quot;&gt;I trim up enough so as not to scare small children at the beach. Personally, I find nothing worse than looking like you&#039;ve got a tarantua trying to claw its way free of yer bikini bottoms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, I am going to support &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;JAN 19. 2009 IS OFFICIAL SHAVE YOUR PUBES DAY. &amp;quot;GETTING RID OF BUSH&amp;quot;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>running out of razors</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-18077</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Saraswati, I do think times are changing.  I don&#039;t see women sustaining this kind of vigilant waxing &amp;amp; shaving in sensitive areas, when there are enough smart, sexy &amp;amp; progressive men out here who don&#039;t worship this emblem of pre-pubescence .... men who prefer women in all their natural glory.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Fuzzy Wuzzy....</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-18028</link>
 <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outside of the obvious reminder that not all women have male lovers as first choice in their book of preferences --&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes.  Obviously not all women date guys... or even anyone at all. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a straight woman myself, if all a guy wants to do is &quot;mess with me&quot; and his one criteria is whether or not I shave my pubic hair -- then trust me, he isn&#039;t going to get to mess with me no matter what he likes...LOL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not talking about &quot;ALL a guy wants to do with you&quot;. :)  My point is that a woman should not expect the same behavior and treatment from a guy regardless of how she presents herself.  The same advice goes for the guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can call it whatever you want... messing, making love, whatever, it&#039;s all semantics.  The song remains the same.  A lot of women (and men) think they can just &quot;let themselves go&quot; once they&#039;re in a committed relationship or marriage and then they&#039;re surprised when their SO isn&#039;t physically interested in them anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having said that... if a guy is &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;foolish&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; enough to actually TELL YOU that he &quot;just wants to mess with you&quot;, then he gets what he deserves!... Nothing! ;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can just imagine me saying to a guy -- &quot;Baby, I&#039;m so visual, and it would be so hot if you&#039;d just shave my name into your chest hair -- or shave off all your body hair -- or shave your legs -- or just shave your pubes --or shaved your head. Or better yet, wax it all off , or no sex.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LOLOL :D  Now that&#039;s rich!... But I see what you&#039;re getting at. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very interesting idea.  Let&#039;s see.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a guy has chest hair, and he&#039;s currently in a committed relationship, he&#039;s not going to be using his chest hair for anything (like meeting other women), and most of the time that he&#039;s in public, he&#039;s going to have a shirt on.  Most of the time he&#039;s at home, he&#039;s not going to be looking in the mirror (so he won&#039;t notice), so a guy &quot;shaving his girlfriend&#039;s name into his chest hair&quot; isn&#039;t an outlandish concession.  It&#039;s HILARIOUS! :D ... But not outlandish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shave off all your body hair................ hehehe I suppose it would depend on how he felt about himself with no body hair left.  He might be so weirded-out that he wouldn&#039;t want to have sex with you after that anyway, so it would actually defeat the purpose.  He may as well keep his body hair and not get on. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like I said... this isn&#039;t a one-way-street.  Guys get dumped for letting themselves go just like women do.  Then again, hahaha if your woman wants you to carve her name in your chest hair, that&#039;s information you need to find out during the DATING stage, while you still have multiple women in the wings and can tell her &quot;Seeya when I Seeya!!!... PEACE!!!&quot; :D&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>I think life would be a lot</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-17951</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I think life would be a lot easier if body hair came back in style!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am too broke to afford my waxing habit and too sensitive to tolerate stubble, so I&#039;ve resolved to witness my natural beauty through a new, self-accepting lens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spirituality&lt;/strong&gt; has &lt;em&gt;GOT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; to start going somewhere!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Decisions... Decisions...</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-17940</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s not a societal issue, it&#039;s an *individual* issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assuming that any one of you is only dating or married to one guy at a time, you only need to be concerned with what that one guy thinks.  It doesn&#039;t matter if &quot;society&quot; says &#039;no hair&#039; is attractive if what HE likes is lots of hair.  Of course... now, you&#039;re thinking &quot;What do *I* care if HE likes it or not?  It&#039;s MY body!&quot;.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well... You have to consider that for the most part, men are VISUAL creatures.  That&#039;s why porno is visual and has nothing to do with what a woman thinks or feels.  There are lots of guys that will have nothing to do with you, physically, if they aren&#039;t visually turned on by you, whether that&#039;s pubic hair, hair on your head, body type, whatever.  The choice you have to make (and hopefully, you&#039;re both on the same page) is whether you want to do what YOU want to do or whether you want your man to be physically attracted to you.  Like I said... HOPEFULLY, your style matches his style and it&#039;s a very comfortable situation for the two of you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your tastes in this area don&#039;t match, and you choose your style over his, don&#039;t be surprised when he isn&#039;t interested in messing with you.  OTOH, if you choose his style over yours, you should be receiving TANGIBLE BENEFITS from doing him that favor. :D  &quot;Oh, that looks nice, honey&quot; isn&#039;t going to cut it.  If he&#039;s not showing the proper appreciation for what you&#039;re doing for him, there&#039;s no reason for you to do it... AT ALL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, all of this should have been figured out before you got deeply involved with him... along with how many kids you expected to have, where you expected to live and how often you expected him to visit your relatives with you.  I never considered the angle of &quot;infantilization of women&quot;, so I have no current opinion on that.  What I *DO* know is that there are lots of guys that won&#039;t go _anywhere_near_it_ unless it LOOKS proper by their own personal standards.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Natural is sexiest</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-17928</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I completely object to the removal of female pubic hair.  Keeping it is a natural thing, just the way God intended.  But my pubic hair preference isn&#039;t so much a theological issue as it is an aesthetic and sensual one.  Women complain about men&#039;s facial stubble, well, it can go both ways!  I&#039;d much rather touch a soft love nest than a prickly porcupine.  It&#039;s baffling why a sexy, mature woman would want to appear as a pre-pubescent girl, except only for the pressure her vaguely sick man places on her.  There is no denying this trend is the brainchild of an increasing number of pedofile-like men who lust after increasingly younger women!  There is nothing sexier in this world than a mature, experienced &amp;amp; confident woman who isn&#039;t afraid to fly her flag proudly!  Go for it, girls!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Is this the antidote or has fashion gone mad?</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651#comment-9664</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Someone sent me this link the other day - I&#039;ve been meaning to post it here for days. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=4535&amp;amp;rtn=index-topten&amp;amp;nsfwfs=yes&quot;&gt; Be warned this video does contain full nudity &lt;/a&gt;- though nothing explicit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for my own pubic preference - that&#039;s for me and &#039;anyone who&#039;s lucky enough to get an invite&#039; to find out!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>On Pubic Hair</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/2651</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it seems like the whole world shaves it all off.  Everyone where I&#039;m sitting in Los Angeles for sure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is the full wax-off just a fade?  Or proper hygiene?  What is our issue with women having hair where hair naturally grows?  Sexy with?  Or sexy without?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://oohpie.blogspot.com/2006/01/soapbox-ii.html&quot;&gt;Anne&lt;/a&gt;  talks about the pressure to shave.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/feministvoice/5496.html&quot;&gt;Shana&lt;/a&gt; wonders who doesn&#039;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hippiechild.blogspot.com/2005/02/i-hate-our-culture.html&quot;&gt;Izzy&lt;/a&gt; blames our culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;http://kinonatsumi.livejournal.com/1304.html&quot;&gt;Kinonatsumi&lt;/a&gt; mourns the loss of the hair on her head:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time has done nothing but make me miss my hair even more. There is no mourning for it. No one even realizes I miss it because when I first lost it, it didn&#039;t matter. People figure I have gotten over it. But, then again, I don&#039;t want pity, and I don&#039;t really want their sympathy, I just want my hair back. I don&#039;t want to feel that prickly feeling behind my eyes when the kids at camp laugh at me because I don&#039;t have hair. I don&#039;t want them to try and steal my hat, so they can laugh at me more. I don&#039;t want them ask me whether I&#039;m a boy or a girl. I don&#039;t want to hurt over something that is so petty and pointless. I don&#039;t want to hurt over vanity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love that: &quot;I don&#039;t want to hurt over vanity.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although Kinonatsumi is waxing poetic over a far more serious hair issue than the pros and cons of pubic hair, I wonder, what can you do if what makes you happy differs from what makes your significant other happy, from what makes society happy?  Is pubic hair worth taking a stand?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&#039;s your position?&lt;/p&gt;
