Pubic Hair Removal - People Who Do And People Who Don't

I remember a friend telling me that when she was grooming her bikini line, she once got carried away and ended up with a complete pubic hair removal exercise.

After that it became, for her, a standard practice.

Although it is usually a very personal choice and something you would only share with a close friend (after all it is not something you usually publicize all over the place), it is in fact quite a widespread exercise, and becoming more and more common place.

We haven't yet reached a point where you can divide the world into two types of people. Those who remove their pubic hair and those that don't. But, who knows, we might yet get there. After all at one time the human race was composed exclusively by those who didn't.

We seem to have outlived the original reasons why nature endowed us with pubic hair. Supposedly, at least smarter people than I have stated, that pubic hair first developed with a two fold purpose.

As protection against dirt, germs and similar things.

And because this allowed the scent of sexual availability (or not as the case may be) to linger in our pubic hair, so as to send the appropriate signals to potential partners - who by the way had a tremendous, by our standards at least, sense of smell.

Alas, this is no longer the case and it seems very unlightly it will be again.

Now a days, at least in the more technically developed societies, most people have access to washing and grooming facilities and more importantly, regularly make use of them.

As we have outgrown the original reasons, we have developed new habits and different outlooks.

Which takes me back to my friend who developed the habit of removing all her pubic hair.

I found it quite interesting, from a scientific point of view obviously, to note that she went into considerable detail, while I, caught by surprise, hardly said a word. I think my silence spurred her on.

Anyway, the benefit of her experience, if I remember correctly, was:

- shave, but not with a razor; use an electric one

- begin by trimming the hair down to a small, manageable size

- start around the thighs working inwards

- go back tho the navel and work downwards

- you can also go round in circles or side to side

- always do so with dry hair

- you can add soft powder afterward

Having convinced me of her expertise, she then went on to tell me about the brazilian wax, and how it is done by professionals. I was quite impressed, not so much by the image of genital hair being ripped out (it is definately not that bad), but by her totally matter of fact attitude of being "pubic hair stripped" by a stranger...

I claimed a prior engagement when she implied she could show me, though I must admit I did visit ..., and I am pleased to say that as a result of my detached scientific point of view, we are both now classified as those that do.
