Hair Apparent

I was having a chat the other day with a womyn whom I know only online. She's a wonderful person and is also very strong as she contends with the onset of multiple sclerosis, hearing problems, 3 kids, and a husband. She's never been anything less than nice to me and I return it. I listen to her bitch about her husband and how her kids are driving her crazy.

So our chat was going all swell when, unsurprisingly, the conversation turned to matters sexual. At one point, I admitted that I have a thing for unshaven womyn. By this I mean that I find pubic hair to be endlessly alluring. Why this should be, I don't know. Nothing against womyn with the landing strips/Hitler moustaches or those that go completely bare, mind you. My interlocutor wasn't taken aback or any such thing but she was surprised. I do know men who prize shorn naughty bits but I didn't think that I was in such a small minority of men in this country who think that womyn look just fine as they were made. I mean, we're still apes, after all.

I was then asked what I thought of womyn who don't shave their armpits. I replied that I found that attractive as well. Basically, an attractive womyn is attractive regardless of what bits she chooses not to shave.

This whole shaving thing for American womyn is a relatively modern development. You don't think Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were worried about body hair when they were on their quests to get rid of slavery and gain equal rights for womyn, do ya? While I know a few men who hold a hairless idea for womyn's crotches, most don't find anau naturel vulva to be to be the aesthetic vagina dentata. I know more womyn who hold the ideal. Men are generally just happy to have a pussy in front of them and so aren't too picky about it. Womyn, on the other hand, seem to be in a race to line the pockets of razor manufacturers and makers of depilatories. It's like they're caught up in a race with the Joneses to see who can shave the most. Pubic hair just has a bad rap. It's fine to show a scantily-clad fraulein but Lord have mercy on you if there's a pubic hair to be seen. Remember the controversy over the Black Crowes' album Amorica?

It just seems like a better alternative not refrain from shaving. I mean, you get all these inflamed hair follicles which is a turn-off. And it would just be less work. Hell, I don't know. Maybe womyn do genuinely get lots of funny looks if they don't try to look like a womyn in a porno flick. But my money is on men not caring. We may dig scantily clad models on TV and the Internet, but we know that real womyn don't look like that. As I said, we just want a good-looking womyn who will let us into their pants.

Honestly, if a womyn wants to shave, have at it. All I ask is that, if I put my face down there, please keep it smooth. Otherwise it's like sandpaper on my face. In the interest of fairness, I'll keep my cheeks shorn as well.
