The Brazilian wax has been on its way out for a while. But what may be its final death throe comes, according to the Atlantic Wire, in the form of unshaved mannequins on display at American Apparel.
Feminists and women who don't like pain have reason to celebrate, but here's another group that should embrace the natural trend: doctors. American society's aestheticization of hairless female genitalia apparently came at the cost of a veritable epidemic of grooming-related injuries. And while the Brazilian trend got lots of attention, the attendant carnage did not. Luckily, a team of doctors led by Allison Glass of the University of California, San Francisco, was on the case. For a 2012 paper in the journal Urology, they analyzed Emergency Room data on relevant injuries caused by pubic hair grooming related injuries and found:
•"Between 2002 and 2010, the number of injuries increased fivefold.
•Of the cohort, 56.7 percent were women. The most at-risk group was women aged 19 to 28.
•Shaving razors were implicated in 83% of the injuries.
•Laceration was the most common type of injury (36.6 percent).
•The most common site of injury was the external female genitalia (36 percent).

I thought shaved was cool 20 years ago when it was a cutting edge thing to do, but now I find I prefer hair. If it needs a trim that's fine but I like a bush. Obviously dancers need to shave so I don't worry about them.
Thinking back to the last 10 girls I had sex with (not counting dancers), only 2 had hair although a third let hers grow back because I asked. I should have married that one!

Finally the 70's bush is making a cum back !

The last civie gal I saw had a bush. Although it was somewhat trimmed, it was close to 70'sish.

I want to become a doctor, so can get paid to examine pussy in the ER!
Have noticed a couple of strippers having nice fuzz down there, and it looks good for change of pace.

Bald is great, but not a deal breaker.

Trim looks just as nice. Not shaved but clean looking and low so none of the tickle action (for guys, no condoms catching pubes)

Woohoo!

just use Nair hair remover. It lasts for about 90 days.

I prefer neatly trimmed. Too much shaving can cause rashes and ingrown hairs. Not pleasant.
A Frito or Dorito patch is always nice. I've maintain a Frito strip and am quite happy with it's easy maintenance and low injury risk.

Course there are some women who are naturally pretty sparse down there. I guess if dense crotch forestation gets popular, the crotch weave will get invented.

I like bald but if I'm in a topless only club, seeing a trimmed landing strip above her bikini is sexy. It's like you are seeing a bit of her privates without actually doing so. Maybe the girls not completely shaved were just hot to start with. I remember seeing a flash of a girls pussy after she finished her lap dance and thought she looked sexy being bald. I never noticed she had a peircing down there. Maybe I should ask and then she'll know I peeked. :)

@Sharkhunter: I've never been to a topless club where the girls were allowed to show any pubic hair. They're usually pretty strict on that.

I have demanded bald since college 1975.

@Lopaw-Fritos or Doritos. Hahahahaha! I knew a chick who had Pretzel patch.

^^^ A pretzel patch?? Lol - sounds knotty. But anything short of a Chia Pet look is do-able for me.

End the bloodshed, women of the world! You don't have to turn your jade gate into something that looks like raw material for a cooking show...
