I'm glad someone finally had something smart to say about this. For me, having some hair is part of the over all 'I'm a woman' look and feel. Having NONE makes me feel vulnerable in a way- I guess women are lucky in that with hair their parts aren't usually exposed.
I would like to point out that the hairlessness look is perpetuated by certain industries, which then is imitated in life. Art imitates life imitates art? It's another part of the 'media and societal pressure to look a certain way...blah blah blah'. Not only is it a 'beauty standard' in the most intimate place (there is no refuge)when it's reinforced at home, it seems there really is no escape from these ideals, not in public or private.
Anyway, going bare is painful, and can be a considerable expense if getting waxed in a salon. Shaving doesn't last more than a day, and the grow back results in an extremely itchy crotch. I would invite any gentleman to go bare using these means and see how enthused he is.
That being said, I'm almost always a well-groomed (but sometimes bitter) girl.
