I love pubic hair on a woman.

And vaginas.

Trimming the topiary is fine, too.

Traister, get your nose out of women's crotches and let them do what they want!

Thank you Seymour Skinner, and the Simpsons.

Another day, another reason for RT to be offended. Well, I'm off to trim up, the wife and I are getting funky tonight.

First Cary Tennis, now Broadsheet. Can we go a week without giving a rat's ass about pubic hair on Salon?

I’m sure 100 or more posts will follow and half of them will talk about how great taking it all off is and the other half will accuse the first of being self loathing pedophile porn stars who’s husbands must spend all their free time checking out porn. Yawn.

It seems like pandering to me and, in the long run, I doubt it’s worth the zillion page hits this tantalizing subject is going to win Salon.

I can't wait for the letters section to hit 300!

Muff-maintenance magic strikes again!

I just have to wonder about the marketing wisdom of calling the triangle shape "Bermuda Triangle," though I suppose the faux sense of danger may appeal to some.

I wonder how many women do it for themselves and how many do it because their man wants it, or they think their man wants it, or they think that men in general want it. I, for one, prefer bushy to shaved. But maybe that's just me.

Look, there are plenty of stupid fasions out there. People wear hats, pants, belts, their hair, jackets, etc that I find to be silly. Hell, I see folks walking around with carefully cultivated expressions on their faces that I think are absurd. Ultimately, though, I don't care. I don't write blogs about it. I don't act offended, as though somehow my race, sex, social class, or neighborhood is being dragged down by it. I don't plan to take pictures of myself copying their style in some ironic in-your-face mockery. Because if I did any of this, I'd be even more ridiculous than the people with the silly styles.

Just when you thought that there wasn't enough stupid crap in the universe to worry about. Now a medicore depilitory product wants to convince me that I have the ability to prune my bush in all sorts of amusing and naughty shapes in the privacy of my own home.

Let me start off with listing all of the reasons why this is a monumentally bad idea.

1) This is a very sensative area of the body. Most women experience at least some pain when undergoing a bikini wax done by a professional. Do you honestly think that they're going to have the stomach to rip out large hunks of their pubic hair on their own. If you think pulling off a bandaid is painful...

2) Again, because this is a sensative area, it is easy to cause injury. Even if this is a non-heat product, waxing is not something easy to master. You can easily tear the skin. This is NOT an area on the body to risk doing that.

3) To do a proper Brazilian wax, you not only have to remove the hair from the outer area of the groin. I can testify from personal experience that you get waxed all over, including down the crack of your ass. Is this something that anyone can manage to do at home? If you don't remove everything, you end up looking neatly prune on top but with massive undergrowth the instant you open your legs.

Bikini waxing should come with the same disclaimer we see on stupid stunts on TV -

"DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!"

That will show them...

you guys ARE tough!

My wife was a big Nads fan for a while (for her legs, as opposed to her nether regions). While I was never particularly interested in ripping any of my hair out by the roots, even if I was, I doubt I could have got past the name. Geez, don't those people have market researchers?

This whole shaving thing is just weird and gross. TMI.

I can understand neatning up a bit so you're bush isn't hanging out of your swimsuit, but do we all have to keep our pubes groomed like porn stars? How much time do women have to spend keeping themselves up now? You know there are other things we could be spending time and money on. Pube maintenence seems like another distraction.

One of Hef's girlfriends, Holly, was talking about the "fur bikinis" of the 70's. Somehow, in the far far past, men didn't find normal pubic hair totally disgusting.

Did internet porn do this? The only guy who ever asked me to shave down was really into porn. Never again!
