    But the OP has only just decided to stop shaving, and she has had the FWB for over 10 years, so that doesn't really make sense.

    Body hair isn't gross and unhygenic, it's just a bit unsightly.

    As someone said above, does this apply to men too? Are men unhygenic if they don't shave their pits and bits?

    Does your girlfriend know that you would leave her if she stops shaving? If my man said that, I would deliberately stop! Sorry, but that is just ridiculous! :eek:



    Yeah she does, told her on multiple occasions, hence why she keeps shaving.

    Because men don't normally shave under their arms and women do?

    ...which makes it unusual. I'm still not sure why it's gross.

    I can take MEASURES ie - shave to stop my hair....but I can't stop it from growing period.
    Anymore than they choose to have limbs missing or scars covering them in some way....but we can CHOOSE to cover them...with make up, prosthetic, razors etc to 'fit in' and not have people laugh at us?
    If you don't get it, I can't be bothered to keep explaining it to you.

    And since we were fwb for 10.5 years while I was hairless and now we are fwb while I've been a yeti for 6 months, I highly doubt my hair has anything to do with anything. and if it DID why the hell would I want to be with someone who cared about crap like that anyway =/



    I don't get why you felt the need to post to the forum about how you've stopped shaving, unless there was some point you were trying to make or to get applause.


    And no, I don't get your comparison at all, in fact it's pretty much an insult to those with scars or missing limbs - get the jist - you stopped shaving which is a CHOICE, missing limbs scars is NOT A CHOICE!


    I feel sorry for your FWB having to put up with your hippy feminist crap.

    If you find hair unattractive, then surely stubble and that puckered, greyish cheap chicken skin look is even worse? Do those who remove it have to schedule their sex life around waxing sessions?

    Willies are such ridiculous, comical looking things anyway; I think if I ever saw one in a shaven setting I'd collapse in a fit of giggles. Is the lack of hair supposed to allow you to focus fully on the aesthetic merit of a wrinkly scrotal sac and bulging veins? Genitals are useful; they're not designed to be gazed at for any length of time.
    They are an EYESORES!!!!

    No way. :rotfl: You're winding us up aren't ya?

    I don't know a single woman alive who would 'keep shaving' because her man says he will leave her if she doesn't. Most women (including me) would help you pack your bag and book you a taxi out of their lives!

    I agree with the bolded part of your post, but the last sentence is a bit rude.

    Men are supposed to be hairy, women are not

    In your view, maybe. Certainly not one shared by all.

    Out of interest, should I take a razor to my four year old daughter's legs? Or should I leave it until she grows pubic hair? When should I start teaching her that parts of her body are ugly and something to be ashamed of?

    The choice is to not do anything about what we were born with and to leave us as nature intended. But whatever.

    Not winding you up, some women like to keep their men happy, so they don't stray y'know.

    This ^^^ :T
    I'm sorry OP, but the fact is that the vast majority of people in the western world do not find excessive body hair on a woman attractive. In fact, most find it very unsightly.

    There is no need to mock and be cruel towards people of course, but the fact still remains that people don't generally find hairy women attractive (or women with excessive body hair showing.)
    Because all we see is the female form who's been every inch has been plucked? Because any time a woman in the public eye steps out of the norm they're completely ridiculed?
    Maybe if we stopped perpetuating things might actually change.
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
