Kitty, kitty....

[Cato 160314]

Since there's a thread on hair, I thought I'd start one on bare, which I vastly prefer.

 

I'm glad this trend has taken hold, so to speak. Long may it last!

[quick25 137]

I prefer both. But I find some women look great with nothing there. I don't think I could choose just one. But one thing I find if you are doing a certain position it doesn't make you itch as much.

[Cato 160314]

Your comments are most welcome, my friend. This is one of the few things we (slightly) disagree on, as far as I can see.

Heeeeeeeeeeere kitty kitty!!!!!

 

 

Sorry, I'm basically a cat in human form, I respond to meows!

[Michelangelo 738]

Meow!!

 

Bare or landing strip cut short for me. I hope this style never goes out of fashion.

A natural kitty is just part of a fantasy. What I grew up with in the 70's and 80's.

 

I always thought the facination some men , not all, like a shaved kitty is it resembles a pubesent girl. (My appologies if that offends anyone).

 

I will play with any kitty that is offered to me, shaved or natural. The most important thing (IMOP) is the chemistry with the lady. (Also it helps if she is over 21 and mature for her age).

I felt this way for a very long time myself and then finally shaved it off ... letting a boyfriend do it for me and he was thrilled to do it. I am with you though that completely bare looks too jeuvenille for me. That's where I draw the line with it. I leave a strip.

 

Once I shaved it off I never went back. Smooth is sooo much nicer on a guy or girl to get close too without being tickled by hair or having pubic dental floss...

[The General 11309]

I have to say that I am a tweener. I guess I would go for bare over fully natural, but that would be when natural is more of one that is fairly bushy, not all are.

 

What I like is something more in-between, nice landing strip is great, nice triangle, etc. Love the sight of hair (maybe it is the too young look if there is none, I don't know), but one that is well groomed. Perhaps it gives me a sense of great hygiene, which is a turn-on. Well groomed, allows for better/easier access to the honey spot, which I could enjoy forever.

 

Anyway, in the end, we love them all, but do have clear preferences.

As long as it is neat a clean...I like either on my female friends ;)

... I always thought the facination some men , not all, like a shaved kitty is it resembles a pubesent girl ...

 

ha ha ... and would the reason some ladies like a man with no facial hair be that they resemble pubescent boys?

p.s. I do know what you're saying, though.

[Miss Scarlett 25073]

Right now I am half and half! haha

 

I prefer fully shaved, but kept getting told I was not a "real" red head unless I could prove it.

 

So to answer the myth so you all know: My carpet does match my drapes!

 

I so missed being fully shaved though. It is much cleaner and not itchy.

 

It is my preference for women.

 

Just my 2 cents!

.... bare ... I'm glad this trend has taken hold, so to speak. Long may it last!

 

From Desmond Morris, The Naked Woman: A Study of the Female Body (Vintage, 2005) pp.197-199 (my bold):

Turning to the history of the removal of female pubic hair, it is clear that it is far from being a passing whim of modern fashion. Records show that it can be traced back as far as the ancient

Egyptians

. Egyptian women were fastidious about their body hair, removing all traces of it. This was done by a 'waxing' process, using a sticky cream made out of honey and oil.

 

It has also been claimed that

King Solomon

disliked female pubic hair. When the Queen of Sheba visited him, in the tenth century BC, he is reputed to have asked her to depilate herself before they made love, requiring that she made herself open to him by removing 'nature's veil'.

 

A little later, in

ancient Greece

, it is recorded that men preferred their women to 'remove the hairs from their privy parts'. This was because 'the strong growth of hairs of southern women would otherwise prevent their private parts from being seen ...' As a result, in ancient Greece female depilation was the rule. It was achieved by one of three techniques. The first was hair-by-hair plucking; the second was singeing with a burning lamp; and the third by singeing with hot ashes.

 

The practice of female pubic hair removal was also popular in

ancient Rome

, but their techniques were slightly different. Like the Greeks, they did employ plucking, using special tweezers called

volsella

. Unlike the Greeks, however, they practiced the risky singeing techniques with the less hazardous application of depilatory creams. A form of waxing was also practiced, using pitch or resin. Among fashionable Romans, young girls would start to employ one of these methods as soon as their pubic hairs began to grow.

 

When the Crusaders were in the Holy Land they discovered that

Arab women

depilated their pubic region. Impressed by what they experienced there, they brought the fashion back with them to

Europe

where some aristocrats adopted it during the

Middle Ages

. It flourished for a while but then died out.

 

Later, in the sixteenth century, it is known that

Turkish women

were so keen to denude their pubic region that special rooms were set aside for this purpose in the public baths. It was thought to be sinful for them to allow their pubic hair to grow naturally.

 

By Victorian times, in Europe, the removal of pubic hair was unheard of, except possibly among some of the 'ladies of the night'. It did not re-surface as a popular female fashion until the

sexually liberated days of the 1960s

. Then, suddenly, anything was possible and certain leading figures rebelled against customs considered to be prudish or traditional. One of the most famous rebels was designer Mary Quant, who set out to shock by announcing publicly that she had had her pubic hair trimmed into a heart shape by her husband. Others soon followed her lead.

 

During the 1970s the rise of the feminist movement saw a return to the natural look and pubic topiary once again fell out of favour. By the

end of the twentieth century

, however, it was back in a big way, with a whole variety of different styles. This new trend began because of a change in swimsuit fashions. The lower line of beachwear was cut higher and higher (to make the legs look longer) and this resulted in a few stray pubic hairs emerging on either side of the now very narrow strip of cloth between the legs. These hairs looked ugly and were quickly trimmed away. This 'concealment' trimming set in motion an increasingly drastic reduction in pubic hair. More and more extreme styles appeared until, eventually, complete removal of every single hair became the ultimate quest of the fashionable.

By the early part of the twenty-first century, extreme pubic depilation had become the latest female fashion fad, a defiantly modern trend which, paradoxically, has returned us once more the popular pubic styles of the ancient civilizations.

Ummmmm nothing better than shaved bald but a landing strip for me to follow to the hidden gem

[spud271 47779]

I'm good with either. It truely makes no difference to me at all! :D

[Seymour 3970]

Cheers to the kitty :biggrin:

[stevecurious 42059]

It doesn't matter to me if a woman is short or tall, big or small, blonde or brunette but I do prefer shaved...or at the very least trimmed. Just my preference.

[pipercub 795]

I much prefer shaved as well. For me being a real daty lover smooth is the way to go.

[Cato 160314]

Great post, WIT, as always.

Thanks for the historical perspective.

[phigment 3310]

Oh , it gets way more interesting than this.

The Victorian era in particular is worth expanding on.

The phenomenon of bald pussies began then mostly amongst the prostitutes. Shaving purposefully was (and still is) an effective way of controlling crabs which were very common. However it also came as the result of medicating for clap or syphyllis. The only available medication at the time was mercury. Lightly poisoning oneself with quicksilver did control these std's to a certain extent, but were fairly heavy on the side effects, including madness, if the dose wasnt quite right and hair loss in the pubic region. Of course it didn't take long for people to figure out that a bald vag equated to a lady of "abundant exploit". So it was in the lady's interest to conceal this fact(the hair was also still valuable in hiding the more obvious physical features of std's such as sores, ulcers, drainage etc). So along came the development of the "merkin" ...a sort of toupee for the vagina. Now the only place you are likely to see one is on a Vegas showgirl or a model/actress. Interesting that the baldness that was once something to be ashamed of and hidden is currently considered desirable.

I like to do a little landing v strip. I was watching a Montreal porn and all the girls had a well trimmed v. I thought it was so sexy that I just had to do the same thing. I would never go all out and have a jungle down there, but some hair is sexy imo. I do things that make me feel sexy because If I feel sexy I will give a better service.

[Kate von Katz 49953]

I also like leaving an inverted triangle on top. Unfortunately, my aesthetician took it all off last time... :( It's gonna look pretty funny growing that back in.

 

I honestly don't get the big whoop with fully shaved/waxed. Leaving some hair on the mound of Venus looks better than fully hairless. And since everything below is gone, whatever reason a gal has for waxing/shaving has not been compromised. The hair that may have been a problem for cunnilingus is gone.

 

I guess that's the thing about aesthetics: you can never tell what the reason is, but you either like something or you don't. Art, home decor or personal grooming - doesn't matter what it is, if it's aesthetic its a totally individual thing. (Though guided/encouraged by trends in society.)

I to prefer to have a landing strip,just to sensitive if I shave it all,as I have tried.I find most men like this as it is a good mix of both.
