  All I want in life is for one person... ONE PERSON to talk about the horrible pressure teenage girls feel to remove pubic hair. 15 year old girls should not feel pressured to get waxes or have a completely hairless pubic area.

  It's so ironic, they all say it's your choice, pubic hair is natural and it shoudn't matter what "society says" but somehow they all seem to remove most or some of their hair. Because the thing is "what we feel comfortable with" is usually what is expected from us. No wonder that we find pubic hair gross or weird if we're told it should be removed (if it is ever talked about).

  I will never go bald down there again. If a guy can't handle the fact that I'm not nine years old, I really don't need him in my life. Apart from that, pubic hair is not gross or "unclean", it actually helps prevent getting STD's. The only thing I trim is the part where oral sex happens, because I know that it can get pretty uncomfortable otherwise.

  shaving is too much trauma, waxing adds up, but keeping it short and cleaned up? 👌🏽 <br>no razor burn, no cost, real cute

  Hair is natural. Finding it gross is a learned social construct perpetuated by porn, razor and cosmetic companies, &nbsp;the notion that we are not OK the way we are etc. Humans have body hair, it’s sexy.

  I remember in highschool girls were talking about how you NEED to shave and how boys in school slept with one girl and spread rumors that she&apos;s gross because she&apos;s hairy down there. That&apos;s when I started shaving because it was the only acceptable way. Guys always spoke about it being ugly and disgusting. Even in college I overheard some generic bros talking about how ugly they think pubic hair is. I always got red razor bumps, and it itched like hell when it grew back. As I got older and got a few waxes (which left me without irritation so I prefer wax over shaving) I realized I did not like to go full bare. It feels strange and naked and incomplete in my opinion. I love my pubic hair and I like pubic hair on others- women and men. I think it&apos;s stupid and immature to call it gross. It is there for protection. It feels good. It is beautiful and sexy. I am pro-pubes in whichever form, and yes that includes a full bush! I think it just shows those types of people who let society influence their every move and view in this world and are afraid to be outside the bullshit norm.

  In some asian countries it&apos;s actually normal to not shave down there so it&apos;s really also a huge western standart to shave pubic hair
