I'm not saying I don't like Bush but it's a little silly to call me ungrateful after the whole Iraq and Afghanistan debacle.

Gotta say. I kinda agree. If you're a men that hate the 90s grunge band Bush, you have no soul

This would be even funnier if Bush were a soul band.

People should just find people they're sexually compatible with. No one owes you anything, and you don't owe anyone anything. Just do whatever you want with consenting adults. I don't understand why this concept is so fucking hard? You don't like bush, cool, don't sleep with someone who has one. You like to have a bush? Cool, don't sleep with someone who doesn't like it. Simple as that people. No one decides what they like and what they don't. You can't force someone to like your body, so why even bother? There's plenty people out there who likes you the way you are.

You don't like bush, cool, don't sleep with someone who has one.

Should this conversation happen prior to the encounter, then?

Nothing wrong with talking about expectations prior to banging.

In theory - yes. But in practice it would be rude and / or ruining the moment.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If the moment can be ruined by something little, it was going to be ruined to begin with.

My partner will grow everything out, full pits, full bush and I'm like "Yes! so sexy!" Then she'll decide to shave everything and I'm like "awwww yeah!". Then back to the bush and I'm again stoked. She's beautiful and sexy no matter what.

Funny thing. Heard Stormy Daniels run down how the shaved look happened.

Back in DVD days, a porn star could hit the road and tour a lot of strip clubs. She could sell a lot of merchandise and make herself well known. The problem was that a lot of these clubs were in small towns where the cops loved harassing the dancers. A lot of places had laws that said that visible pubic hair was illegal, so a lot of dancers shaved, and they encouraged the porn stars to do the same.

When the shaven ladies got back to shooting, they kept on shaving. Pretty soon that became the standard look in movies and magazines.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's insane to me that the hair is what they had a problem with, and putting your genitals on even fuller display is the loophole.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 17 points 2 weeks ago

Think about it.

Those laws were written long before VHS was a thing. Back in the day they were policing burlesque shows where the ladies might go down to G-string and pasties. The pubic hair thing was a simple test to see if they'd gone too far.

Also, in the bars the dancers might have to keep their G-strings on [laws vary by state] A lot of dancers travel, so it makes sense to be ready for the strictest enforcement

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

With full respect to Ms Daniels I think it predates DVDs. My first sight (and many others I suspect) was an actress by the name of Seka who was shaving in the 70s and possibly earlier. As she tells it she was an early innovator in glamming up porn with good hair and makeup. Shaving was part of an exotic look.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There’s been pubic hair removal going back to ancient Egypt, through Greece and Rome and into modern times.

Well they are both war criminals who should be tried as traitors, and the whitewashing of their legacies is deeply shameful to say the least.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I mean, according to a research paper published by Brandeis University and its sources, the whole "women need to be shaved" thing was started by Gillette to sell razors, correlates with perceiving women as younger and a tendency to fetishise youth.

Considering the evolutionary roots, men should feel attracted to female body hair, as it is a secondary sexual characteristic, such as breast size and waist to hip ratio, and hence a sign of sexual maturity and ability to procreate. [...]

Biologically, sexually mature females have body hair, but society has made femininity more connected to youth and pre-pubescence than to a woman’s ability to reproduce.

So if you like them unshaved, that's natural (but no longer normal). If you like them shaved, that's normal (but not natural).

And if you don't like them at all, you're lucky to sidestep that question.

[–] EvasiveSpecies@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's so weird when you see that specific subset of men (and to be fair, some women too) whining about how 'body hair is unnatural for women'.

My policy is that if you want someone's mouth to go there, you should shave it. This applies to all genders and hair features pretty equally.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe not shave, but trim. it should be well maintained, not a wild plot.

I would disagree with your policy. Bush is a beautiful thing. Not only does it provide stunning contrast that perfectly frames their natural beauty, but it also acts as a pheromone diffuser. I love to have my nose resting on a soft bed of perfectly perfumed pillow bush while enjoying a hot meal.

That being said, I am a vocal advocate of bodily autonomy so if they prefer no bush, that's never a problem, but my personal preference is au naturale.

I became sexually active in the early 1990s when the Brazilian look was big in porn, but most women still had full pubes, or if they were fancy, went for the French runway.

So my brain associated the shaved look with porn, and bush with IRL, which messed with my head on the occasion I had a partner who waxed herself clean.

My experience is that bush is easier to maintain and is easier on the skin. Shaving is fun for a single date, but results in a scratchy period and runs the risk of ingrown hairs.

I don't like bush, so I shave my own and help my partners when they choose to do so. Everyone wins.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Same. Shaved or well trimmed avoids a mouthful of pubes.

Feel free to grow it into a 1970s afro, but I'm not putting my face down there and weed wacking your untamed garden to the promised land.

Not knocking the bush but the broader trend of shaving/waxing has reduced the overall rate of pubic lice infestations

I grew up before the whole shaving fad and shaved women look unnatural to me. For some reason I blame the French for this, probably because the first reference to shaving I remember was from the movie Amelie.

I have a strong revulsion for hair in general, especially on my own body.

I cana respect the practical functionality, and of course I defend the autonomy of others.

Using broad strokes on trivial matters to label anyone who dislikes something without considering the nuances is a dick move.
