Is it bad that I agree with this?

What about if a woman (or man) chooses to go after this look. Some people (myself included) PREFER it. My wife prefers it (on herself) but doesn't like the procedure,so she bought a machine to do it much less painfully. I would "trim" if she preferred, but she doesn't. If you don't like the look, then fine. But why should it be bad for everyone?

What is wrong with a tatoo if the person wants it? It is a personal choice.

Or maybe I am blowing this out of proportion. If so, I REALLY need to stop posting from work.

I dig tastefully done tats. I've seen them way overdone, but I've always been partial to well done skin art. Undoubtedly because my dad had so many...and yet, I have nada...yet anyway.

It has nothing to do with the visual asthetics. I simply don't like hair in my teeth.

Alex makes a fine point.

Hair in the teeth isn't so bad. It's that one hair that always manages to find its way to the very back of my tongue that I prefer to do without.

Only on LoT could a thread about weight restrictions on models turn into pubic hair in your teeth in 15 posts.

I know. I HATE having to go to the dentist for a haircut

Besides, I want to be able to see him down there.

Gotta love the urban dictionary.

Afro Bush

Lush, unruly, kinky pubic hair.

That afro bush had such thick underbrush and was so overgrown that I lost my wallet and car keys in it.

It's also a "personal choice" for a teenager to smoke or do drugs because her friends do them. Everyone in these fora question the outside forces that dictate and influence their so-called personal choices.

Now, maybe I'm just a crotchety old feminist, but I think that when society/fashion/etc. decides that all of a sudden women have to jump through new hoops, spend additional hours out of their week and money out of their pocket to do something new in order to be desirable to men, there's something wrong. Particularly when the something that is decided is something ludicrous: the aforementioned four-inch flip-flops, lowriders that have young women looking like my plumber and constantly hiking their pants up because they're really a little embarrassed by having their ass hang out, etc.

As for the waxing, I remember when all the pageant pictures of Jon-Benet came out and people were upset about how a six-year old was dolled up to look like a sexy adult. I'm not sure it's much healthier to say that grown women now have to look like six year-olds.

Did I mention thongs? Again, who was the joker who first said, "No, I won't f*** you unless you jam your underwear up your ass." Here I know whereof I speak: I've done the dance belt thing in dance classes and Shakespeare plays. Ick! Please don't say it's about panty lines; you can always tell when someone's wearing a thong. It's about women now having to say to men in order to be sexy, "Look, I'm thinking about my ass. My ass is now one layer of fabric closer to you." Women did not have to do this when I was younger; somehow they still managed to find men who would sleep with them.

Regarding tattooes, yes, it's a matter of personal taste. (Except when women are all getting lower back tattooes because everyone's doing it.) I like the human body. Every inch of it. My heart never fails to sink when I see a tattoo on a pretty woman or girl.
