Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So, which of the following are acceptable?

Underarms
Legs
Bikini Lines
Excessive on Arms
Butt Cracks
Around Nipples
Trail Up To Navel
Sideburns
Moustaches
Chins
Between Breasts
Back of Feet

And, more importantly, if you consider any of these unacceptable do you feel the same way about them on blokes?

I know I sound remarkably non-commital, but to each their own. I've been with people with all varieties of body hair and find them all acceptable. Personally I shave all the traditional female girlie places although there were times I didn't. As Humpty would say, do what you like.

― Samantha, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It doesn't really matter. If you like the person, then you don't really care about these things. Even if they look like bigfoot as a result.

In otherwards, Paul had a crush on Chewbacca when growing up.

legs & underarms.

― ethan, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

would people think I was rude if I said "get a life you dumb fucks"?

yes?

okay, I won't say it then.

Hey, D**mp****l is back!

Moustache is just horrible. Horrible. No facial hair on girls! "Free moustache wax for every woman between 16 and 50", I could run for X with a slogan like that. The rest I don't care, but then again have never experienced anything grotesque.
Obviously men can have moustaches, although I do not sport one myself and find suspect blokes with a moustache but no beard. Freddy Mercury. Hitler.

Friend of mine down in Orange County was going on and on about how he saw this girl with a GOATEE at the merch booth when he went to see Le Tigre play in L.A...

Jess! Beware of Olympian goateed girls!

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BACK OF FEET??? I'm sorry, I have to think about that for a while.

Personally, I just think it's gross, but I'm well aware that some people don't have an issue with it, and if they're happy, great. As long as I don't have to fuck them, I'm happy too. I personally shave legs/underarms/bikini/arms, though I have really light hair so I don't have to nearly like that, I just get paranoid about it. I don't have any anywhere else, but believe me if I was sporting a chest rug that thing would be waxed to all hell.

― Ally, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shaving a bikini is just weird.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You shave your arms, Ally? Yeah, i would think the goatee kind of weird. Did she use moustache wax on it to make it pointy? Yeah I wax the lip and eyebrow too but I figured that was implied in "typical girlie places" I used to wax the little bit of hair on my tummy then gave up on it.

I would think anyone who is reading these threads when they are not really interested needs to get a life.

― Samantha, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

legs, pits, crotchal area and closely associated bits. on any flat plane of the torso, face, nipples, kinda icky. that goes for men, too, though. moustaches, beards, stubble = uncool. sideburns = cool.

― your null fame, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sideburns on men, that is.

― your null fame, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, I shave my arms but since there's not much hair to begin with on my arms, it's actually more for exfoliation. I recommend it, I have fantastic elbows!

― Ally, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

all rowr, providing of course joined up by fur at all spaces in between: eg tuftiness is merely silly as well as a betrayal of our recent aquatic past

i am not crazy abt the available "natural" colours human fur comes in however, and am excitedly eyeing how these glow-worm genes produce rainbow hues in pig-snouts etc. With luck this will go on-line also before i am too old too care. If we are going to play Irresponsible Frankenstein with the Stuff of Life itself, let's make it work for us hey people? Krazy Kolor all-over humanbody Fun-Fur NOW!! Let me hear YOU say it —

― mark s, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not an issue for me. Frida Khalo was hot, and she had a moustache, so what the hell, y'know?

― Norman Phay, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You have hair on your elbows? Fuck man-"hair on chicks-what is acceptable"??????????????????????????what the hell is this? must we institutionalize every aspect of our lives?

― fluffy, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i don't shave anything. i have hairy armpits and legs. i used to shave those places until i learnt to love my body. (not saying that girls who shave don't love their bodies, just that i feel comfortable in my appearance without those conventions). no razor will ever sully my pubes!

i have no issues with body hair on either sex, except moustaches on men (mustaches...ew!) and girls with no pubes (i like women to look like women, not little girls!)

― di, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, I find shaved muffs quite distasteful although I don't mind a neatly trimmed one.

I've never understood why hetero porn is 50% shaved muffs and 50% anal sex.

― toraneko, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think it means hetero guys are either paedophiles or poofs.

― toraneko, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OR?

― Brian MacDonald, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hehehehe - this thread is making me larff.

i am currently trying to grow my armpit hair just to see if it makes any difference. though i have a posh "do" on friday so it may have to go. this is mainly cos i can't be arsed to shave anymore (and i got an Epilat0r for my legs which is painful but effective - it's not going anywhere NEAR my pits though, let alone the bits!). i will keep you posted. should you want me to.

and shaving arms is just plain ODD!

― katie, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have thick dark hair. I dislike it. I've never shaved my arms but I have waxed them in the past. It's a bane (mane, ho ho) of my life! The hair on my head is extremely full but still I seem to moult everywhere I go, sigh.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmmm... maybe I did have a crush on Chewbacca. I really don't think it matters how hairy someone is as long as you like them. I've found that if you like someone as a person, you'll end up liking their hairy nature or otherwise. If that makes sense...

― Paul Strange, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't think you can get hair on your elbows cos the skin is weird there. That's why I was so shocked by this back of feet claim toraneko put in the question! The skin is weird there - can it actually grow hair? I'm confused.

Anyhow, I don't see what's wrong with being completely shaved, bikini area. Is this a NYC convention?

― Ally, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

anyway, chicks should not have hair. just yellow downy fluff (awwww)

― katie, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, I'm with Mark S:

Krazy Kolor all-over humanbody Fun-Fur NOW!!!

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, Ally, I don't think a brazillian bikini wax is odd. Most girls I know leave a little tuft but keep that area pretty well shaven.

― Samantha, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Back of foot = top of foot. Anatomically speaking it's called the dorsum of the foot (dorsum = back, think dorsal fin). When you flex your foot you are dorsiflexing it. When you point your foot you are plantarflexing it (plantar from Latin planta meaning the sole, or bottom, of the foot).

Anyway, some people are furry there and some are not.

― toraneko, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have never seen a completely shaved muff in real life. I think I'd be scared of them.

Do those with shaved muffs shave them every morning? Do they grow back that fast or is it an every three day job or something?

Doesn't it prickle something rotten? Do you have to surreptitiously have a scratch sometimes?

Aren't you scared of cutting yourself whilst shaving?

― toraneko, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't shave completely, just leave a nice little do. I shave every other day there, yes it does prickle if you don't take care properly. e.g. shave w/good cream, good razors (no disposables) and use lotion afterwards. Just like proper leg shaving. I'm not afraid of cutting myself b/c I'm very familiar w/my body and know my way around those parts. Over the years I've run the gamut from au natural to no hair to my current in between. I do it b/c I like it this way.

― Samantha, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

btw - not that anybody asked - but the only places I don't like hair are:

On everyone:
underarms if they're smelly, legs, bikini- lines, sideburns

On chicks:
sideburns & chins

On blokes:
arms, chests & buttocks - because they have that coarse, curly hair.

Chicks have nice smooth hair so I don't care how much they have on their arms and a tiny eyelash sized bits between the breasts don't worry me although curly ones would. Nipple hair is no sin on either sex so long as they cut it off.

― toraneko, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm so glad I know all of this about you...

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes, don't you feel closer now Sarah?

― Samantha, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm reassuring myself that neither of you live in the same country so that when I meet you I won't think, aha! I know what they look like under there! And therefore not being able to stop thinking about pubes which to be honest is a MINGY PUB THORT. Thinking of pubes whilst drinking pint = SURE to be imagining them INSIDE pint = PANE.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah yes. . .well although I'm breaking my own rules of not sharing too much personal info online by breaking down the hygiene but none of you know me anyway so. . .

― Samantha, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

funfur and hygiene is a problem actually sarah, no?: as when you wash it — cf my grate green pencil case and cushion covers — it goes all wonky and not at all so fun, yet he who takes a hairdryer to his pencilcase is v.schizotypal at best

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The dry-cleaner for humans who do Fun-Fur is surely necessary after FF really kicks off. Oooooh. I'm looking forward to it. A whole new washing/drying experience!

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm imagining it like a walk-in dry cleaner like walk in baths for fogeys.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dry cleaning fluids = minging solvents, and so will probably kill you and/or get you high. This is less than good.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well OK, the getting stoned bit might be quite fun I spose, but the brain eaty solvent action would certainly be a poor show.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Look it is my glo-in the dark pink neon humanbody fun-fur and it's not having no cheap-arse 40 degree rinse cycle. It's the walk in human dry cleaner for me. The head doesn't go in the brain-eating solvents part unless you really want it to. It'd be nice, like a more furry steam room.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We haf discovered HumanSex Level 2, it seems to me

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You have no higher risk of cutting yourself down there, I think, than cutting yourself anywhere else. It's just like anything, it's just a different part of your skin is all.

― Ally, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

American beauty is obviously just different, this girl came to my highschool and in between classes she sprayed her hair with hair spray to keep it sticking up, even though it looked unnatural and she said, 'but everyone does it' and thought we were uncouth. Naturalness is anti-American.

― maryann, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's like in Brave New World when they had to play complicated games involving lots of equipment to keep the economy working, then they moved the games out to the country cos not enough transport was getting used. Americans have to wax everything and use hairspray and gel and do all these other things to serve their country and hyperinflate the economy. It's an act of humble patriotism.

― maryann, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I dont know if it itches girls but it better be more then a three day job if you sleeping with someone regularily or its gonna hurt their face/groan (it grew back on her the same rate as my stubble). I dont care either way myself.

― Mr Noodles, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Does anyone here get mutant hairs? i get a single white hair that grows on the underside of my upper left arm, it doesn't stop growing, just gets longer...and longer...and longer. i like it. my ex-boyfriend used to get freaked out by it, despite the fact that its so fine and white that it isn't visible.

i also used to get a single white hair that grew out of my face, but it hasn't grown back since i last pulled it out about 2 years ago.

― di, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bikini line shaving is not only weird but it looks awful I cannot see anything attractive in having a pubic mohican.

I personally shave my legs (as armpit hair is pointless and should never be thought about for any reason) regularly, but only ever seem to get laid when I haven't bothered shaving in ages and look very much "as chewbacca", can anyone account for this phenomena ... ?

― kenan, Thursday, 7 June 2007 02:52 (eighteen years ago)

mark, it's a really sensitive area of skin. removing a fairly thick layer of hair from it is going to multiply things tenfold.

haha you believe that?

Shave that shit off!

I cannot imagine shaving arms. that is soo unnecssary unless you are a biker or swimmer. The stubbly feeling! The upkeep!

Well, a lot of things are unnecessary. Upkeep? Two minutes at the most. Stubbly? Not at all. I really dislike it when someone has really dark thick hair and very pale skin. Just looks horrid. But that's just me. *shrug*

It does make you wonder what she was drinking before she came up with the idea of pink, heart-shaped bush, though. Can you imagine if she took a red Sharpie and wrote something thereon all Necco Sweetheart style? That could be amazing or really, really sad, depending.

Is the shaved vagina look the only fashion that can be directly attributable to porn?

No, there is also the copious ejaculation. All the kids are doing that lately.

It's not directly attributable to porn at all, I don't think...? Pretty sure lots of women of privilige in the classical world were known to shave teh girl parts. Didn't upper-class Egyptions regularly remove all body hair?

Well, the more recent vogue for complete shaving/waxing. I always that originated in porn. Maybe I'm wrong.

Didn't the Brazialian come from women in Brazil who did it b/c of their teensy tiny bikinis? Also you can't attribute hair/armpit removal to porn and I think the bikini area is a natural extension of that.
