My partner and I joke about body hair a fair bit between ourselves. She likes stay shaven (legs/pits etc) but get’s lazy about it. I am completely cool either way so the jesting is definitely just fun and games but if it worried her or she felt pressured we wouldn’t joke about it and I would certainly never joke to others about it.
@CloakOfAsh that joking thing happens in this house too, but instigated by me or BF won’t participate.
I’m just gonna leave this article from Knowable here for people to enjoy and discuss: http://www.knowable.com/a/showing-nipples-and-body-hair-men-and-women-share-the-most-ridiculous-things-th
@CloakOfAsh I was once told (by some much older men) that I should shave all of my pubic hair because sex would feel better and my boyfriend at the time would prefer it!! I previously didn’t shave or trim my hair at all so it was really bizarre to me to even groom there. I took the advice anyway and shaved EVERYTHING, and I didn’t like it tbh.
@tea that really sucks. I really want to believe that this sort of generational gap stuff is fading out
@CloakOfAsh I think if different body types became more normalised then it wouldn’t be such a huge issue to see hair in places people normally would be grossed out by.
