I've seen those pics before, Sarzy, and I am impressed. VERY dense pubeage.

Some people have zero fucks to give about what anybody else's look like, or what the current trend is or ever will be but just prefer it all GONE.

It's just what I've heard

I get the impression that Lobelia likes dense pubeage.

**Lobelia** · January 3rd, 2014, 09:52 PM

A more accurate statement would be that Lobelia loves lasers

It is so very, very, very wrong that after I read this I glanced over and heard your name as Labelia. It is so wrong, so very wrong. I am sorry. I felt compelled to share. You can slap me now.

Just to add another opinion/reason: for some of us women, tearing our pubic hair (and armpit hair) out is a horror show because we bloody BLEED where the follicles were just torn out. Bless the hirsute mediterranian genetic line

And shaving such thick body hair gives a permanent 5 o'clock stubble. So I flip the bird to anyone who judges me and my French "hairstyle".

I AIN'T gonna be shamed for it. I'd appreciate the opportunity to make some men wax their beards and moustaches.

I will add to this that for some of us, we get ingrown hairs even when we don't shave, so the ones we get when we do shave are horrific. We have tried everything. Our skin is too sensitive and our hair too curly to not have ingrown hairs.

This thread reminds me of this filk set to the tune of the song in the video below:

We have trusted no man's razors, / we have nicked and cut ourselves.
We've been stung by all the aftershaves / upon the drugstore shelves.
And our patience and endurance / from late puberty till now
Have given us the strength / to make this vow:

We won't shave any longer, / our beards are stronger than before.
We won't shave any longer, / our beards are stronger!

We have shaved away our stubble / and have scraped away our skin.
We have cut and hacked and sliced and diced / and raised an awful din.
And on every weekday morning / we'd be bloody nervous wrecks
Sticking wads of toilet paper / to our necks!

Now the ladies too have suffered / in their armpits and their legs,
Just to wear those pantyhose that / come in little plastic eggs.
But we think it's time to tell them / that we Pagan men don't care
If they throw away their Zipwax / and their Nair!

Through the ages many faces / have arisen and have gone.
And the male ones all looked better / with a beard and mustache on!
So the time has come to throw / our styptic pencils on the floor,
And refuse to wreck our faces / anymore!

[2 choruses]

[Spoken, using "Isis, Astarte" chant tune:]
Shick(TM), Aqua Velva(TM), Norelco(TM), Wilkensen(TM), Gillette(TM), Bic(TM), Mennen(TM) — Noxema(TM)!

Do not fret. You are not the first and won't be the last

I love being from Canada. We create the best, most absurd shit. In honor of pubes. We have a lot of COLD months, we appreciate the little bit of added warmth.

When it's cold and I'm not getting any action, of course I'm not going to bother. I hadn't shaved my legs for several weeks before my work Christmas party and I felt WEIRD when I shaved them. I was so much colder, I'm not even kidding. Which sounds like I have man-style leg hair. Half true. The wind chill flowing up and down my jean legs was such an odd sensation.

**aabbcc** · January 4th, 2014, 11:42 AM

I don't shave my legs at all in the winter. F-ck that. They're covered up and no one ever sees them, so I can't be bothered (and, honestly, I don't really care if my legs are scruffy or not). Luckily, I have very fine blonde hair, and it's not really that noticeable anyway.

I just got the weirdest mental picture...

I'm an "all off" kinda gal. I don't do it for a man or society, I'm just lazy. It's easier for me to just "Bic-it" all away than remembering to regularly trim, and less time consuming than standing in the shower shaving it into even shapes (strips, triangles, whathaveyou). But, that's just me

I know, right? I live in a town full of older retirees (I affectionately call it Geriatric Park). These old ladies at the gym have absolutely NO modesty whatsoever. Just this morning, a lady (prob about 75 years old) comes out of the showers butt nekkid and just slowly walks across the locker room. The kicker? She was holding two towels and a robe in her hand! What the hell?
Then they'll just walk over, put their foot (with no flip flops on, of course) up on the bench to stretch and try to start a conversation. I guess I'm just a weird little prude, but I do not have the ability to converse casually with a stranger naked. I just can't do it.
Unless it was my early 20's and I'd just had sex with that stranger. Then, no problem.
