Anyone who has watched ‘70s porn knows that the standards of genital grooming have changed drastically over the years. Back in the day, a thick bush of hair between a woman’s legs was not off-putting and may have, in fact, been desirable to many. These days, in the world of pornography, shaved is the name of the game and women with natural pubic hair are generally featured in fetish movies only.
Of course, the porn world is not a direct reflection of the practices of the average person, but there are certainly more men who prefer no hair than men who like their women bushy. Unfortunately, the number of women who enjoy being clean-shaven doesn’t quite match up to the amount of men who prefer that they be that way. Just like when we explained Why Your Girlfriend Doesn’t Watch Porn, AM continues in our ongoing effort to help you understand the ways of women by aiming to explain why your girlfriend won’t shave. So before you insist that your girlfriend go hairless, consider the following reasons why she may be hesitant to do so.
It’s painful to remove
A woman seeking to achieve a hairless look has a few options: She can shave, wax or use chemical depilatories. Shaving is a fairly straightforward process, but there are some drawbacks -- perhaps the most significant of which is the chance of cutting herself in a very sensitive area. You know how annoying a nick on the face or neck can be, so you can just imagine how bad it would be to cut yourself in a much more delicate and nerve-packed region. The pain potential of waxing the genital area should not even have to be explained. In theory, chemical depilatories are a great idea: applying a substance that dissolves hair and easily washes away. Trouble is, these products can be brutal on sensitive skin and the smell can be outrageously bad.It’s painful to grow back
A freshly shaven genital area can feel great, but unfortunately the fabulous feeling doesn’t last long. As soon as the hair starts growing back, a woman is faced with two options: either continue to shave it nearly every day to maintain the smoothness (which can result in ingrown hairs, razor burn and other unpleasant conditions), or let it grow in and suffer through the uncomfortable stubble phase.It’s time-consuming
No matter which hair removal option a woman chooses, the process is annoyingly time-consuming. All three options have to be done incredibly carefully to avoid painful consequences. Even if she goes to a professional for a wax, she still has to set time aside to attend the appointment.It’s expensive
A bikini wax can cost anywhere from $25 to over $100, depending on where it’s done and how much is taken off. Shaving creams, razors and other hair removal products aren’t cheap either and women already use them often for underarm and leg hair removal. All of these costs add up over time, making shaving her private area just one more expense to add to the list.It’s weird
Having no hair down there makes a woman feel like a little girl and, quite frankly, the fact that it turns you on may make her feel icky. Grown women have hair and to expect her to be constantly hairless is unreasonable. It may be a fun change every once in a while, but unless your girl stars in adult movies for a living, don’t expect it all the time.A happy medium
If you find that you and your girlfriend are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to her genital grooming practices, try to come to a reasonable compromise between completely hairless and '70s-hairy. It should be easy enough to agree upon a neat, trimmed genital region that is neither uncomfortably short nor appallingly long. If she’s still not convinced, try mentioning that it’s much easier to perform oral sex without all that hair in the way.
