On being you

I was thinking the same thing. I think there should be a section strictly for hair threads. I never realized how much time people spend thinking about it.

 

Okay, here is the rundown.

 

1. Everyone has hair. That's part of being a mammal.

 

2. Some people have more than others. That's part of being an individual.

 

3. A person can leave it on or remove it.

 

4. Don't ask a complete stranger if YOU should remove it or which body parts it should be removed from. It is a personal preference just like the color of your hair (on your head) is (ie it can be changed or not).

FYI~ having hairy ears is an inherent trait, found only in the Y chromosome.

So we're not allowed to ask personal preference questions.

 

Damn, I must've missed that it the rules and regs. I'll go check. But I'm gonna go shave my cooch first. brb.

That's true and leads me to revise my original post:

 

1. Everyone has hair, but we don't always wanna see it.

 

2. Some people have more than others, but we don't always wanna see it.

 

3. A person can leave it on or remove it, but if it's hanging out of your ears or nose, that's a no-brainer.

 

4. Don't ask a complete stranger if YOU should remove it (cuz if it's hanging out of your nose or ears or backside we don't always wanna see it) . . . just remove it, kay?

I'm not saying the folks can't ask personal preference questions, but when it's about a topic like this, personal preference is just that . . . personal.

 

I can say, "Oh, sure shave your privates." But, if I like mine shaved, it doesn't mean you will like yours shaved. But since most people know that shaving it is a choice, all they have to do it try it for themselves then decide for themselves.

 

Not only that but WHY would YOU care if I preferred it or not? What YOU like is all that matters . . .

 

Besides . . . I'm not the Private Parts Police, so I'm not gonna go around checkin' . . . I get the impression that that is Alphamale's job! j/k

[tiki]

But I like talking about it, and this is a great place to do it (obviously, look at the replies to hair threads). It's just a preference....like what's your fave cologne or something.

 

But you must not shave down south. You should try it.

 

P.S. If it's too personal of a thread, you don't have to answer it ya know.

I'm with Tiki...Anyone can throw out a personal question...But it's up to each individual to answer it or not. If one doesn't like or is offended by the question - Ignore it and go to another thread.

 

I like reading what people say it's interesting and most of the time pretty f'ing funny too!! Why not? It's not like any of us are sharing bank account info and real deep personal info....Hair is hair is hair -NO matter where it happens to grow out of!

I like hearing about the bumps that come with shaving.

Oh, no. I'm not saying that I'm offended. Nor am I saying that folks shouldn't post because others might not want to answer. I agree that if a person doesn't want to take part, then they don't have to.

 

What I mean by saying that shaving is personal, I mean, one person might like it and another won't. So, it's kinda absurd to ask someone if YOU should when all you have to do is try it. If you like it, that is your personal preference. If you don't like it, that is your personal preference. Along those same lines, some prospective mates will LIKE hairiy-ness and others won't and that will also be that person's personal preference.

 

All I'm saying is that for me to tell "Ralph" to shave something really has no meaning. I don't know "Ralph". "Ralph" doesn't know me. He won't care what I prefer and I don't care what he prefers. If he simply tries it, he will find out what he himself prefers.

 

I guess it's more of a you-hafta-ask?-type of statement I'm tring to make (with lil success).

If I want to experiment with hairstyles, types of clothing, makeup, I can just look at the people around me.

 

Well, I don't get to see snatch fur very often, so it helps to ask others on this board what has worked for them.

[tattoomytoe]

well i hated bald!! i let my bf shave it a few months back. my panties tickled my lips and rubbed them. Plus it looked horrid! i looked like a well endowed 10 yr old!

 

course he loved it....loved shaving it off.

 

i like my landing strip.

[tiki]

I've gone back to the landing strip. It's hot and sexy. And we've hijacked (and created) yet another thread on shaving...lmao.

[tattoomytoe]

GOOOOOOo Team!!

[tiki]

You crack me up yo.

 

 

Speaking of crack.....ah, nevermind it.

Speaking of crack, this was in my email the other day . . .

 

One of many women's dilemmas, getting rid of unwanted hair...

 

All methods have tricked me with their promises of easy, painless removal: the Epilady, the standard razor, the scissors, the Nair, the EpilStop, and now.. The Wax.

 

My night began as any other normal weekday night. I came home, fixed dinner for my family and got everyone

settled for the night. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next couple of hours: maybe I should use that wax in my medicine cabinet.

 

I made sure no one would need me and I could head for the bathroom in peace. It was one of those cold wax kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the clear strips in your hand, peel them apart, press it on your leg (or wherever). No muss, no fuss.

 

How hard can this be? I mean, I'm not the girliest of girls but I'm mechanically inclined so maybe I can figure out how this works. You'd think.

 

So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other, stuck together. I'm supposed to rub it in my hand to warm and soften the wax. I go one better. I pull out the hair dryer and heat the SOB to ten thousand degrees. Cold wax, my ass. (Oh, how that phrase will come back to haunt me.)

 

I lay the strip across my thigh. I hold the skin around it and pull. OK, so it wasn't the best feeling in the world, but it wasn't bad. I can do this! So with my next wax strip, I'll move north.

 

After checking on my beloved family again, I sneak into the bathroom for The Ultimate Hair Fighting Championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I then apply the

wax strip across the right side on my bikini line, covering the right half of my vagina and stretching up into the inside of the right ass cheek. (Yeah, it was a long strip.)

 

I inhale deeply. I brace myself. RRRIIIIPPP!!!!

 

I'm blind from the pain! ...... Vision returning. Oh crap. I've managed to pull off half an inch of the strip. Another deep breath. And RIIIP! Everything is swirly and tie-dyed. Do I hear crashing drums?

 

OK, coming back to normal again. I want to see my trophy -- my wax covered pelt that caused me so much agony. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold the wax strip like an Olympic gold medalist.

 

But why is there no hair on it? Why is the wax mostly gone?

Where could the wax go, if not on the strip?

 

Slowly, I eased my head down, my foot still perched on the toilet.

 

I see hair -- the hair that should be on the strip. I touch. I feel. I am touching wax. I look to the ceiling and silently shout Nooooooo!!

 

I peel my fingers off the softest, most sensitive part of my body that is now covered in cold wax and matted hair, and make the next big mistake -- up until this point, you'll remember, I've had my foot on the toilet.

 

I know I need to move, to do something. So I put my foot down on the floor.

 

And then I hear the slamming of the cell door.

 

Vagina? Sealed shut.

 

Ass? Sealed shut.

 

A little voice in my head says, "I hope you don't have to **** anytime soon. Your head just might pop off." I penguin walk around the bathroom trying desperately to figure out what I should do next.

 

Hot water! Hot water melts wax! I'll run the hottest water I can stand and get in. The wax should melt and I can gently wipe it away, right?

 

Wrong.

 

I get in the tub -- the water is slightly hotter than is used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment -- and I sit.

 

Now the only thing worse than having your goodies glued together is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of a tub. In scalding hot water. Which, by the way, does not melt the cold wax.

 

So now I'm stuck in the tub -- literally!

 

I call my friend, Liz, because she once dropped out of beauty school so surely she has some secret knowledge

or trick to get wax off skin. It's never good to start a conversation with "So my ass and vagina are stuck to the tub."

 

She wants to know exactly where the wax is on the ass. "Are we talking cheek or hole, here?" she asks. She isn't even trying to hide the giggles now.

 

I give her the run-down of the entire night. She tells me to call the number on the side of the box, but to have a good cover story for where the wax actually is. "You know that if we were working the help line at XX Wax Co. and somebody called with their entire crack sealed shut we'd just put them on hold then record the conversation for everyone we know. You're going to end up on a radio show or the internet if you tell them the truth."

 

While we go through various solutions, I have resorted to scraping the wax off with a razor. Boy, nothing feels better to the girlie goodies than covering them in wax, sticking them to a tub in super hot water and THEN dry shaving the sticky wax off!

 

In the middle of the conversation (which has inexplicably turned to Other subjects!) I find the lotion provided with the wax to remove the excess. I rub some in and start screaming "It's working! It's working!" I get hearty congratulations from Liz and we hang up.

 

I successfully remove all the wax and notice, to my dismay, that the hair is still there. So I shaved the damned stuff off. Hell, I was numb by that point anyway.

 

I put the box of wax back in my medicine cabinet. Never know when a moustache might start to come in.

 

Tonight, I attempt hair dying.

Now THAT was funny.

 

But I think you may have an obsession.

[Lil Honey]

Hey, now I wasn't the first person to think there are a lot of shaving issues on the board . . .

 

But thanks for caring.

[tiki]

Don't hide that pride!
