Disappearing Fad?

[Tank Turner]

My sister-in-law's fiancé just sent a link to me to an article about women returning to pubic hair. The article was published on March 7, 2024. The topic came up when he and my wife were discussing bushes at Cancun's nude resorts. He told her that his guess was half of the women at nude resorts had bushes. Most of those women appeared to be European.

I can't post the link to the article. The site is called Mamamia. The date, name, and add "women pubic hair" to a 'net search should pull it up.

According to the article, women are so desperate for bushes that they're buying merkins. I had never heard of a merkin. It's a pubic hair wig for women who have permanently removed their pubic hair. Women were so desperate to reveal that they had pubic hair that they were intentionally exposing parts of their merkins for men to see.

According to my wife, she's always had a bush, even when she was in college during the height of the Brazilian fad. She refused to go Brazilian in protest to porn dictating to men how they think women should look and because a bush represents her as a woman. Her sister has a bush, probably because his older sister (my wife) has one.

My wife and I enjoy porn every once in a while. But she gets frustrated with bullshit in it that influences men who watch too much of it and lack sexual knowledge and experiences to know what is porn bullshit. She called men who believed what they saw in porn "amateurs". I used the term "rookie" as in rookie professional athletic, and "poser", a person who wants to be who he isn't. She has adopted those terms for porn watchers who have little or no sexual experience. I enjoy monster cock porn because I'm fascinated by petite women taking monster cocks. The reality is, a lot of monster cock porn is probably edited. A software editing program can turn a 2" cock into a 12 incher.

My wife told me that over the past five years or more, she's notice that more women at our gym have regrown their bushes. I have read many articles about women returning to the bush.

I know that there has been a lot of myths about bushes, probably propagated by porn and its influence on men. Those myths conflict with medicine. OBGYN's tell women to never remove their pubic hair. It's there for a reason. It keeps women's vaginas cleaner and helps to prevent bacteria from entering them. My wife's OBGYN told her to never remove pubic hair that protects the entry of her vagina.

It is an 'net legend that Brazilian women are cleaner than women with bushes. Medically, the opposite is true.

Odors are often erroneous blamed on bushes when odor is caused by conditions other than bushes. A woman with poor hygiene will emit odor regardless of whether she's full Brazilian. Common, minor infections (UTI, yeast, etc.) can cause odor, not women's public hair.

I love my wife's black bush. She's brunette. She's never had a boyfriend tell her to remove it. No one has ever kicked her out of because because of it.

How women groom is only their prerogative. I've never told any woman how she groom.

A sight I wish I had avoided was razor bumps and ingrown hairs on a chick who was full Brazilian. I felt bad for her for thinking she had to do that to herself to fit in with a fad.

I probably would have shit canned that email except for it being related to our trip next month to a nude resort in Tulum.

BTW, I have read au naturel is the fad that is causing the Brazilian fad to head for obsolescence. I know where women grow hair. Feminine bodily hair is a function of them as human beings. I'm good with where women grow hair. But that does not mean that I'd want to see women with hairy legs and armpits. I know my wife would never go au naturel, I believe. If she did, it would be her decision. Her body hair has zero influence over my love for her. I would hope she wouldn't go au naturel, but if in the longshot she did, I would not kick her out of bed.

I agree with my wife: porn is a negative influence over men who lack sexual knowledge and experience. I'd pay to watch a dude try to go ass-to-mouth with my sexually submissive wife. She'd go from sexually submissive to UFC champion in the blink of an eye.

I forgot to add that personal preference (opinion) usually influences how women groom. There is no universally correct opinion, only personal preference. What's right for my wife might be all wrong for other women.

Thanks for these words, Tank. I don't want any hair down there and I don't want hair down there on my men either . I've seen my husband turn down women with a bush, more than a few times.
We all like what we like .

Back when he played regularly, he had two questions when a woman approached him, " Do you wear panties, and is your peach bare ". She had to fix that if she wanted him.

[BallSpanking]

I don't mind one or the other, but the pubic area is one that bears some grooming. There is moisture and bacterial sources nearby, perspiration, etc. A nicely trimmed pussy is delightful, and reduces the amount of toupee we must munch through (murkin?). I have always loved a wispy well trimmed landing strip ... My idea of 'romantic'.

We agree. My wife has been lasered from below her eyelashes now for probably 15 years. With her yearly maintenance she has little or no regrowth. She has shaved her pussy since her early 20s because she liked the extra exhibitionism at nude beaches, swinger clubs etc. She would never want any hair anywhere again. She likes her lovers, both male and female, to be smooth. She has also lasered me from my neck down and I prefer it.
In our experiences at nude beaches this past summer, approximately 90% of women were smooth, 9% had tiny landing strips that ended above their clits and the remainder had a bush. Guys were probably 60% smooth, 30% clipped and 10% natural. Everyone in our swinger group is smooth and interestingly all of the kids in our group (all are 18 to 25 years old now) are smooth.

I’ve always had a saying about this: if there’s hair, I’m not there. I don’t care how pretty they are. This is just my preference.

[WishMeCuck]

I (as a brazilian man with a brazilian wife) am always amazed at how eliminating all pubic hair is called "brazilian". Probably some marketing bullshit someone pulled out to sell in America.

My theory is that some foreigner came here, fucked many prostitutes (which is a really common thing for a foreigner to do here as prostitution is legalized, affordable and where you can find some amazing pros) and figured brazilian women are all shaved because prostitutes are indeed all shaved (I guess it makes it easier for them to quickly wash, dry and be ready for the next customer). Or maybe that is something that made them "different".

Anyhow, the first fully shaved pussy I had in my life that was not from a prostitute was in the Phillipines, but that is due to their genetics I think. Nowadays a shaved pussy is popular everywhere, in Brazil too. But if you watch brazilian porn from the 90s and 2000s, and even magazines like Playboy from those decades, you would see mostly bushes.

Now, a brazilian bush is indeed different. Women always trimmed well and shaved/waxed all hair that would grow outside the "triangle". So, a pretty trimmed down and well delimited bush is what I think could genuinely be called "brazilian style".

And yeah, I love bushes!

[Dutch cuckold]

My wife likes the brazilian as do her boyfriends usually.

I myself definitely love a trimmed but full bush on a woman, the smell and taste after a warm day or hot date is such a big turn on for me! And so much more rich and intense compared to bald.

A little thin landingstrip is the maximum she is willing to leave on there for me, sometimes.

[funkyfitter]

My wife has always kept her hair trimmed and shaped into a beautiful classic V. I've always loved it and so have most of her men.

[LongTermHubby]

My wife tried shaving her pubes and then went back to having a full bush. She said the itching drove her crazy while the hair grew back.

[Tank Turner]

Grooming is always prerogative and opinion.

I agree with my wife: porn has too great an influence on men's beliefs about how women should look and sex acts they are expected to perform. Men should not permit porn to determine their interpretation of the ideal woman and sex acts that men expect from them; e.g., ass-to-mouth.

For men who have unreasonable and irrational disgust/hatred/disdain/etc for women's body hair, you might want to research the mental health disorder known as trichophobia. It's defined as unnatural and irrational fear of human hair. It is a biological fact that women grow pubic hair that provides protection for their vaginas. It is completely normal and natural. If women's pubic hair provokes an unnatural and unhealthy reaction, you might want to consider talking to your physician about it. Women's pubic hair is as natural as the hair on her head.

Trichnophobia is not the same as preference or opinion. If grooming is based on preference, I'm good. We all have preferences. If women's pubic hair provokes revulsion or other irrational or unnatural responses, it might be beneficial to seek resolution for irrational responses to normal and natural human being functions.

When I hear men express weird opinions about women's normal and natural bodily appearances, I'm immediately am cautious of them. That is not to be confused with men expressing fashion preferences. Expressing fashion preferences is harmless. Expressing hatred/fear of women's pubic hair is irrational and unnatural.

yaay , i'm back in style.
from the few conversations i've had with others, bush has returned a bit.

[Tank Turner]

Hi LongTermHubby,

Women should not be pressured to conform to fad imposed on them. Men who would walk away from a woman because she has pubic hair probably should walk into a psychiatrist's office.

Itching is common when shaved hair regrows.

I still have the image of that chick's pussy in my mind. That poor chick almost looked diseased with razor bumps and ingrown hairs. I hate to described her bald pussy as gross looking, but I cannot think of a better term.

[Dutch cuckold]

Porn is part of our culture now, it influences some more than others. Wouldn't worry about it, just don't do things you don't want to do.

It's just differences in taste. Although I must say if you're a cuckold that likes cleaning up, you're missing out on some nice taste and smells if your lady keeps things brazalian down there.

[Tank Turner]

Hi jane,

According to my wife, she has always had a bush. It's 100% consistent with her personality. She does not follow fashion trends. She has refused to permit porn to tell her how she should look. No one has ever kicked her out of bed because of her bush. She has gotten many compliments on it. It feels like silk caressing my face when my face is buried in it.

My wife can grow a thick bush. Whether a rain forest or freshly trimmed and groomed, I've never had a problem finding her clit.

The only negative thing I heard my wife ever say about her black bush is dried white cum looked gross in it. She had to shampoo it out of her bush.

[Bluetoed]

I'm 53 and have always preferred a neatly trimmed bush over bare. My wife has always kept hers that way.

I love breathing in her pheromones as I eat her out!

[zorro]

I love all women, shaved or not. When playing, shaven is preferable because spitting out hair shards can be skipped. But I respond to a hot woman even with a full bush.

[PlzFuckMyHotwife]

I would not refuse to have sex with a woman solely because she has a bush. But... she would have to be pretty amazing in every other way to compensate for that.

The presence of a bush knocks off about 2 points on the hotness scale. So... a girl would have to be at least a legit 8 if she wants me to play with (read tolerate) her bush.

I like what I like. I liked bald pussies before I even knew what porn was and certainly before bald became main stream even in porn. Hopefully I won't need to have my head checked.

This is doubly worse! If you want to speak of "completely normal and natural". Your wife should also grow out her underarm hair and her leg hair, both of those are just as natural, along with bushy eyebrows, and hair anywhere else.
If you want to label people who see things differently, apply the same to self. You might need "to seek resolution for irrational responses" to others' choices. After all, you opened this discussion, unless it was just to make a statement, all opinions count.

You need some serious help, Tank!

I prefer to be smooth so hubby shaves me every 2 weeks. And we keep his trimmed.

Damn, Tank. So you want me to see a psychistrist because I have no need to accept second best.
Be careful when you go down the road of your way is the only way.

I'd be willing to bet huge that you have never walked away from a chick who had a landing strip. How about a perfectly groomed heart? Have you walked away from that? I doubt it.

I need help? You believe that women should feel compelled to conform to men's ideals of how women should groom, and you think I need help? Farm girl, look at the color of your pot before you cast aspersions on tea kettles.

Preferences should be preferences, not impositions.

We have a lifelong friend who used to do MFM sex with us. He was in our age range. Between porn star scenes, my wife would lie naked between us while we rested, watched TV, and BS'ed. I have cellphone photos and video of her with our dicks in each of our hands while Bob played with her bush. He loved her bush.

We're still friends with him. But my wife became bored with that routine and wandered elsewhere.
