It has now been one month and 5 days since taking the plunge. I am slowly coming out of my funk and attempting to get into the holiday spirit. We are slowly financially recovering and today for the first time in weeks....I shaved!
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to shaving. In fact I find it hard to sleep without pants on if my legs aren't silky smooth. But after the wedding, and living borderline poverty level, I just couldn't justify spending $8.00 on razors instead of purchasing my lifeline Marlboro ultra lights. So I used the same razor for weeks until it was actually causing more damage than good. I finally told my husband. "Honey I'm taking a hiatus on the shaving." His response astounded me!
"That's okay, your not all that hairy anyway."
Is he just the perfect man or what? Didn't even put up a foul look. It was then that I realized he didn't understand what I meant.
"No honey, I'm not shaving anywhere but my underarms for awhile." Then there was the look I was waiting for.
He eventually got used to the idea, and I became furious. For the last week I have watched my peekachoo grow hair for the first time since the 90's. I blame the porn industry. Since when did we all decide to buy into the idea that a shaved girl is a better lay?
Itchy and uncomfortable I almost gave up. Then I realized why we all do this. Once you shave it, you have to keep shaving it. It itches as it grows out, and it itches when you shave too close. Its a pyramid scheme this shaving! Not one to ever give up, I conditioned the area and continued the fight.
So tonight I went to Walgreens and bought some razors. So beautiful all fresh and gleaming! There's nothing quite like a new razor! I hopped in the shower and shaved my legs. As I moved up to shave the area and free my sex to my husband I stopped. "I feel sexy". I haven't itched in days, and for the first time in my life, I like the hair! Its warmer for one, and the hair is soft, not coarse like when it's short.
I am turning 30 in 18 days. And this year...I'm gonna have pubic hair! I'm not saying that I will never go back, but for now, my middle finger to the world is concealed in my pants! It feels just like getting a piercing and hiding it from your parents! I see men checking me out, and I think to myself, "haha, you like pubic hair!"
Here's to womans liberation! If I want hair, damn it, I will have hair!
Wow, I'm amazed you're putting all this out there in a pubic--er, public forum! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cents: This total-baldness deal is a recent trend; maybe it came in with the thong. When I was a kid, all the women in Playboy were pretty fuzzy down there; that was the standard of the day. I like the idea that even when a woman's naked, there's still a little something "behind the curtain," kinda.
Maybe it's my age, but the clean-shaven deal just seems "stripper-y" to me--and maybe that's why some guys like it. And when they like it TOO much, I worry about whether they might rather be f**king a ten-year-old.
I say keep that middle finger in your pants, girl! ...Wait, that didn't come out right.
