My ex-boyfriend says there isn’t a single woman under 25 that does not wax 100% of her bush. I’m not the hairiest chick in the world but I don’t have a lot of experience and am worried the next guy who goes down on me is going to barf. What’s normal?
Sincerely
Sarah
Dear Sarah,
Either your boyfriend sure gets around or he’s a gynecologist because how else would he know so much about women under 25’s carpets? I can guarantee that all women under 25 don’t wax their bushes, since I am 25 and I don’t, and I doubt things have changed so much in the 9 months I’ve been 25 that suddenly all my younger girlfriends are onto some shit that I don’t know about.
On the other hand, I’ve always wanted to get a wax since it seems like it would be way smoother than shaving and have less upkeep. I get my eyebrows waxed for $5 from these Chinese (I think? I guess they could be Korean or Vietnamese or whatever the stereotype is) women right next to the Williamsburg Bridge on the Brooklyn side, and I bet they’d do my cha-cha for only a little more. I’ve seen people charge $45 for that shit in Manhattan and I’m thinking, “It’s all the same wax right, so why would I pay a 75% price increase or whatever? Do they make it hurt less when they rip the hair out by the follicles? Will they make it smell nicer, or decorate it in some way?”
But in the end, I’ve never been bothered enough to get a bikini wax, even though it’s embarrassing in the summer when you go out in a bathing suit and there’s that nasty razor burn and dark stubble outlining your inner thighs. But that’s exactly the problem: Like my upper lip (but way more frequently; I like shave that one-sided ’stash of mine once every three months because I’m not Greek or Hispanic), I made the decision to shave that shit and now getting a wax means letting the hair grow out long enough so that there are some hair follicles to grab onto. I’ll get to one week of not shaving and think, “I might get laid tonight and I have to do something about this RIGHT NOW,” and getting a wax for the first time might lead to unsightly bumps or red welts (I have Jew-y sensitive skin). So inevitably, I shave, and inevitably, I’ll get red bumps or an ingrown hair or still have a five o’clock shadow on my cooze that irritates a guy’s junk when we mesh our ugly pieces together …
… So no, not everyone waxes, Sarah. But they probably should.
Hope that helps,
-DREW

From a man’s perspective, it’s really REALLY, EXTREMELY smooth, no comparison… So inherently delicious. But you have to let it grow in before you can wax it again, and it tuns into a 5 o’clock shadow. Is not so purty.

Some guys are into it, some guys aren’t. Wtvs. But if you’ve got long hairs that’re gunna choke a guy then trim, at least.
10.27.09 at 11:07 am
i’ve never been waxed you can trim pretty easy with an electric/battery shaver, one of those dude ones doesn’t matter. no in-growns either. only a means in the continuing effort of the 70s jungle bush. bare vag = plucked turkey. barf.
10.27.09 at 11:13 am
There’s nothing worse than pube stubble on your boner. Either just trim it or wax it, don’t shave it down to nothing unless you are shaving every time you’re about to get laid.
10.27.09 at 11:55 am
The reason to shave is so you can have your partner pretend that you are a little girl without the rape charges. Also you can play shuffle board on the pussy and then periodically slap the pussy and then kind of admire how nice the slapping sound is because it is so smooth and prepubescent.
10.27.09 at 12:02 pm
Wait a minute, women are waxing off their pubic hair now?
10.27.09 at 12:14 pm
waxing the vag is so metrosexual
10.27.09 at 12:20 pm
i don’t know what’s wrong with all the little boys right now, with their need to fuck a virtual twelve year old doll-child, but ew. Ladies, grow some bush please! Any dude worth his wang should be able to appreciate a soft and luxurious natural muff.
that said, if it’s a Florida Everglades tangle down there you could trim that shit just a little so it ain’t 3 inch long strangz getting caught in the back of our throat like Larry David (“AAAAAACK. GAAAACK. CCCKKKKKK.”)
10.27.09 at 12:29 pm
Hair sucks. Sucking hair sucks more.
10.27.09 at 12:47 pm
I relish the sandpapery effect of stubble.
10.27.09 at 12:55 pm
Grow the fuck up. If your afraid some dude is going to “barf” because you have pubic hair, you are a stupid stupid insecure person. I’ve never had complaints from a man on my taint. and if I did….he’s not worthy of the pussy. Have some fucking respect for you body.
10.27.09 at 1:06 pm
I hate bald pussies almost as much as a I hate grinding my boner on pube stubble. Grow up and grow some pubes, bitches.
10.27.09 at 1:30 pm
Hey guys, the part of the pussy that you lick and fuck isn’t hairy. Just pull the labia out of the way and have at it, or are you having trouble figuring out how vulvas work? Bush is great!
10.27.09 at 1:33 pm
i love my beautiful 70’s bush fuck waxing
10.27.09 at 2:03 pm
every guy, including the old woodstock hippie types, ends up preferring bare. it’s much easier to keep it smelling good without all that hair. it’s not all about how it looks and feels, it’s often more about the stench factor. nobody wants to munch a fragrant mackerel and having a wad of hair definitely ups the potential for fish pussy.
10.27.09 at 2:07 pm
It’s all about the landing strip. Can I get a “Hell YEAH!”, fellas?
10.27.09 at 2:52 pm
hairy as fuck please. Thanks.
10.27.09 at 2:56 pm
Whoa. The landing strip fucking blows, Clayton dude.
I’m all for a well kept bush.
There’s hair down there for reasons- think about the Darwinism of it all.
Why do we only grow hair in certain spotties, and vwhy is that one of them?
The smoothy vag is nice for one one night stand per week, but if you plan on banging more than that… I’m thinking that the chicken skin shit that happens between hair and no hair is unsightly, uncomfortable and inconvenient.
10.27.09 at 3:04 pm
Sucking hair fucking sucks, but getting scratched by stubble is much, much worse.
10.27.09 at 3:05 pm
Please tell me the Darwin reason for hairy pussy? Last I checked, you can still fuck, breed, and survive with shaved/waxed privates.
10.27.09 at 3:15 pm
that picture makes me hungry for caramel apples.
10.27.09 at 3:20 pm
gach. all this post is doing is reminding me that i haven’t been laid in a longlonglonglonglonglonglong time. (sniffles)
10.27.09 at 3:22 pm
@ kennedy : same reason for pit hair: to trap smells. No, seriously, pubes cling onto your sweat and secretions and shit so you could advertise your phermones to potential mates. grossssssssss
10.27.09 at 3:24 pm
The “guys who like bare pussies are pedos” theory is bullshit. What makes you think I’ve ever seen a 12 year old’s pussy?
10.27.09 at 3:35 pm
The response to this should have been, “Your boyfriend is a retard, a fucking faggot who knows nothing about women or both. Let’s all hope he gets Diabetes and dies.”
10.27.09 at 4:00 pm
My buddie who like many of you has a ginie of her very own said it best- “If I look down there and there’s no hair I don’t feel like a woman.” Also, hairy pussy smells more. Which is good up to a point.
10.27.09 at 4:03 pm
If you wax, you get laid less because of lack of pheromones. You know how when you are just nasty as fuck and haven’t bathed in a couple of days, you always get hit on? That’s why. When you are waxed and ready, no one wants it and when you are smelly as all hell the guys come flocking. Catch 22. Wax everything down the line and just trim the muff.
10.27.09 at 4:17 pm
yup. you need it bare for cleanliness. really. you don’t want to have anything that could cling to unhealthy bacteria. bare is better for your vagina. laser it all off. it’s the future. take out a loan.
10.27.09 at 4:18 pm
The vag cleans itself. Mucous membrane. Discharge. Blah, blah, and blah. The hair actually PREVENTS bacteria from getting into the soft, damp parts. You actually increase your chances of infection by getting all the hair removed. I don’t have an opion about other women’s baginas, but I keep mine trimmed and get bikini waxes (men, this just means the panty-line not the whole thing).
10.27.09 at 5:15 pm
^ i call bullshit. mines been clean shaven since i had shit to shave (7 years) and it is never sickly n always april fresh . ur just gross. eat some yogurt, yeastball.
10.27.09 at 6:01 pm
survey of foxy and confident 19/20 yr olds: we keep it BUSHED, no one’s sellin us 40 dollar waxes and everyone knows “clean shaven” lasts about 8 hours and then you’re prickly and scratching yourself like a homeless– boys like us because we’re furry and cozy and badd enough to say no to the landin strip
10.27.09 at 6:30 pm
ladies, do NOT get it waxed (especially first timers) at your local cheap asian salon. $20 dollars to wax your ladyparts is enticing, but save up and spend 40 or even up to 60 on someone who knows what they’re doing and uses high quality, european wax in a sanitary (important!) environment. it’s worth it! ask friends or check out yelp reviews to know who is the best waxer in your neighborhood.
10.27.09 at 6:47 pm
switch it up.
10.27.09 at 6:50 pm
Sorry to all lazy girl apologists, buttttttt the bush has G2G MY NIGGAAAAHHHGHHH.
Only gross hipster girls who are too old to know whazzup keep their bush — the only acceptable forms of pubic hair on a girl are landing strips, or none. Just go for none. It’s the 90’s bitches, get with the program okae?!?!?!?
Hot girls and girls under 23 would never in their wildest dreams permit that nasty smelling shit to grow down there. What self respecting guy would go down on a wet, matted bush? You want pee residue in your mouth ya freako? The crux of the matter is that girls watch about 95% less redtube than guys; anybody who watches “pornos” knows those bitches aint got shit down there since forever. Most gross Williamsburg girls pretend they’re down but have never seen porn so they have no fucking clue what’s going on.
COPY GIRL IN PORN = FULFILL BOYFRIEND’S/CURRENT REAMER’S SEXSHUAL EXPECTATIONS AND BEAT ALL OTHER COMPETING GIRLS AT SEXING.
10.27.09 at 7:21 pm
I like smelly people , I love mackerel, I like both shaved/waxed and hairy pussy what’s wrong with variety? and I have never been bothered by the stubble it’s been there but it doesn’t matter except if I’m eating pussy for a long time but then I don’t really care because I love eating pussy but I have had complaints if I have stubble.
10.27.09 at 8:17 pm
your boyfriend sounds like a vag-a-phobe.
10.27.09 at 8:53 pm
“Lems”… I totally disagree. I’ve been to swanky spas and I have to say that the Korean ladies down my street do a waaaaaay better job for $15. It’s a little dirty and reeks like acrylic nail chemicals, but those bitches ain’t foolin’ around. “I make you feel good about yourself” she says, and rips that strip with old world authority. Then she flips me on my side, grabs my hand, makes me spread my ass cheeks apart and I come out of there feeling pretty damn good about myself. Always leave some bush in the front though. It’s like a filter and is just hygienic.
10.27.09 at 8:56 pm
No, we don’t all wax everything away.
Stubble is itchy and gets caught on unders. Plus having a little padding helps keep a good airflow down there to PREVENT yeast infections.
10.27.09 at 10:01 pm
I’m with Clayton on this one, there is some symbols involved with a landing strip. It’s like a huge vagina line haha.
I’m in school and every girl I’ve hooked up with has a waxed vaj, it’s fucking outstanding. Really no comparison.
10.27.09 at 10:49 pm
kokomo has this figured out. basically you’d have to think a chief reason the bald eagle is so much in flight these days is because a critical portion of guys like it best and want it badly. including me. it’s often what i think about when you are hot and i see you on the street.
waxing is best and clipping/shaving is good, and you should be confident that by keeping it generally tight down there you are going to make more men than not crazy for your chanch.
(also, a big son-i-am-disappoint to everyone who comes with this pedophilia line. symbolic age is incidental here, or if it’s not, then pedophilia is already all mixed up with standard grown-up straight desire, as i will illustrate: do you generally like women with more body hair or less body hair (legs, pits, etc.)? less body hair, right? would you say that makes *you* a pedophile? no? so then let’s not tread on a brother’s love for the eagle, chaps.)
10.28.09 at 12:53 am
WTF??? If you’re saying that a bush is nasty because it smells, you are a retard. Get your woman to shower, not shave…A clean bush for a guy or a girl is way better than nothing at all! Landing strips are for pornstars and nothing-ness is for prebubescent girls, that’s it.
If someone has a problem with that then NO PUSSY FOR YOU ASSHOLE!
10.28.09 at 12:55 am
good thinking, gurl. i’m sure most guys are comfortable asking their girlfriends to wash their stinky snatch before going down. you know what a lot of women tell men when they ask them? “WHAT? I’M NOT DIRTY AND I’M NOT CLEANING MYSELF FOR YOU!YOU DON’T WANT THIS?? WHAT ARE YOU, GAY?”
then the poor dudes go down and suck and lick while holding their barf down. yeah, good times.
10.28.09 at 2:17 am
it’s the 21st century, LAZER your twat

Are you for real? you think hair is the reason a pussy smells? You are a fucking idiot. FUCKING IDIOT. I feel sorry for whatever you stick it in. (probably your mom)
10.28.09 at 12:40 pm
^^hair traps smell, asswad.
10.28.09 at 12:59 pm
I just see the landing strip as a fair compromise. Just enough hair to remind me that you do taxes, have a job, and that I’m not going to prison only to be ironically raped to death.
10.28.09 at 4:32 pm
i love bush. shaving and waxing is just another dumb trend that’ll probably be over with in 10 years.
10.28.09 at 5:58 pm
“u need it bare for cleanliness.” “what self respecting guy would go down on a wet, matted bush?”
UM, WHAT HAPPENED TO SHOWERING?? NO??? so if you’ve got a bald pussy you can just forgo cleanliness? EW. holler to riv randall, i’m on your team girl. some well-maintained bush is all your need to give and keep a boner all year long. and trust me, there is WAY MORE effort put into a shaped, trimmed and SHOWERED bush than a bald stank pussy. ta-da.
i know this is primarily a boys’ website, but if we’re going to argue over this, than the ladies need a forum to bitch about how nasty men keep their pubes, and how fucking ridiculous they look all shaved off. i don’t want to hear a WORD until i stop getting lil hairs in my mouth from blowing you. talk about barfing.
10.28.09 at 6:29 pm
You know what sucks??? Sucking SWEATY, HAIRY BALLS. Talk about disgusting.
10.28.09 at 6:32 pm
Creeps that want it bald are pretending they’re doing an eight year old. You know it’s true. I’m sorry when a woman shaves her pits.
10.28.09 at 8:19 pm
you know what? there’s nothing wrong with a guy or a gal pretending he’s doing an eight-year-old. that’s called role-playing between consenting adults and if more people would loosen up and allow for that shit, there’d probably be less people living in shame for simply being attracted to minors and less people needing to express that urge by actually doing it to kids.
10.28.09 at 9:56 pm
There is absolutely no excuse, no justification for ACTING ON sexual attraction to children and sexually abusing a child. However, thoughts are just thoughts. I don’t understand feeling attracted to an eight year old… BUT couples should be able to role play in the privacy of their homes without feeling ashamed. As long as you’ve got shit together, are a reponsible, mature adult, and have honestly dealt with shame, past traumas, if any, etc. then there is nothing wrong with thoughts of any sort, fantasies and consensual role-playing sex.
My two cents, in response to the above comment by Anonymous.
10.28.09 at 10:22 pm
Nice comeback, anonymous! did your mom help you think of it after you finished up ejaculating into her undoubtedly hairless pussy? She tuck you into bed afterward? awwwwww.
10.29.09 at 12:18 am
^^has sex with the lights off and always remembers to ask his inflatable date if he’s being gentle enough.
10.29.09 at 12:51 am
personally, i like to have a hairless vag.
although pubic hair is designed to keep you clean, thats why its there.
hair does not make you smell and most ladys with it dont have it long enough to mat – trimming.
if your boyfriend refuses to fuck you just because your have hair, he is a faggot.
dump him and find a real guy..or atleast a straight one.

hairy is good. there is a stench with a hairy pussy. but hey fellas thats surely part of the excitement right? goin down there, peeling down the knickers and getting hit by a smell before you even get your tongue round those lips??
01.03.10 at 6:37 pm
I dunno if I like my man pretending I’m a pornstar but bare just feels better when he’s licking my lady parts. That and I never have to worry about anything getting stuck in ma hairz.
Boys, please trim yer pubes. They too get a stink that is really unpleasant. Funky balls = no BJs
03.24.10 at 9:42 pm
Bring Back Bush!!
I don’t have any argument as to why bush is better than bald, other than I’m tired of stubble and bumps and girls getting self-conscious or not wanting to fuck because they haven’t shaved/waxed in a while.

Cheaper ones made me bleed!!!! and never want to get a wax again because I know how bad it can hurt.. Got a 5o dollar one before and it wasnt bad at all.. Not all the same wax I guess.. Some make it less sensitive and soothe
