But I have always known that it isn't 'cleaner' that pubic hair actually helps prevent things getting in. I guess like a wool jumper? <br />I also agree with the comments from readers about how it does link too closely to paedophila. I think it gives the feeling of a "girls" body vs. a womans, and a girls body isn't something that should be sexualised at all for any reason. <br />I too worry about the world my boys may be growing up in. I don't think it's just men that objectify us, but we do it to ourselves too.

I think that would not a healthy norm for our culture. A full lady is natural earthy woman - which SHOULD be the most sexiest site of all. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792458456135563307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-3323832574914891542012-12-10T13:00:08.060+11:002012-12-10T13:00:08.060+11:00I saw the same doco and was equally horrified, as ...I saw the same doco and was equally horrified, as were all my girlfriends when we discussed these issues during dinner one night. The social pressures leading young girls and women to resort to surgery are the same ones leading so many to the Brazilian - overexposure of young men to pornography on the internet, social media and social pressure to match the "ideal" sexuality. Parents have a lot of work ahead of them to counteract these new "ideals", for sure!!Samantha Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512085955077668768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-28486519242361364892012-12-10T11:58:44.871+11:002012-12-10T11:58:44.871+11:00I wrote about this once and unearthed some researc...I wrote about this once and unearthed some research suggesting its popularity is due to increased cultural pressures.

Growing pubes is a right of passage for becoming an adult, and if they hold on to their shiny vagineys well into adulthood like some kind of security blanket, I think it's bound to lead to problems later on (in terms of expectations ... when do you embrace your pubes? When you're 40? 50? 60?). Let go kiddies, embrace your inner tigress. Likewise for young men. <br />In the wise words of Bing Crosby, let it grow, let it grow, let it grow.

And in exposing the bits, to view, it has to be contributing to the new trend for young girls to have surgery on their labia. I kid you not, there are women (and again, more worryingly, girls as young as 16) having surgery on their labia to make them 'prettier'. God give me strength. How far can the mania for uniformity go? <br /><br />Sorry, I know this was probably supposed to be a bit more light-heated than this, but when I saw that doco I was so saddened and horrified and it seems it is a lasting impression. By all means, change your clothes and hair and even pierce things if you want. But surgery on something only a few people will ever see seems a level of paranoia about looks that's gone well beyond a joke.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410600166713090364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-34299597230781077412012-12-10T08:04:45.358+11:002012-12-10T08:04:45.358+11:00Funny thing is whilst a Brazilian implies the whol...Funny thing is whilst a Brazilian implies the whole lot off when you go they do ask if you want anything left down there..

I'm pretty sure the same infection/pheromones argument could be raised for under the arms yet I don't see many women leaving that hair to grow free. It's definitely personal choice, and although uncomfortable for the 20 minutes of the *ahem* procedure, is a far better choice than shaving or worse still doing nothing at all in my experience. @workingwomenaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767785951938412969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-8585004501493577112012-12-10T00:25:38.934+11:002012-12-10T00:25:38.934+11:00I just saw your pillow cases in your 'follow u...I just saw your pillow cases in your 'follow up blog post' (sidebar).

I understand the appeal of a bikini wax or even a light trim - hey, no one wants that stray pubic hair on the edge of their bathers (or in the teeth) - but a full wax that, by design, makes a grown woman look like a pre-pubescent GIRL?
