Seems to me that there might be a desire to minimize the difference between carpet and curtains. This in turn might correlate to more women in the 90s dying their hair recreationally rather than just to cover up grey. (I don't know that that happened, but it does seem that advertising in the 90s became more about changing hair color than hiding the grey.)Dexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-6592715582956275442011-06-14T17:36:23.433-04:002011-06-14T17:36:23.433-04:00You're confused.

...That's hard research there...I feel for you!<br /><br />Got anything before the current trend? It's probably tough to make any connections if you don't have the crime data, but just checking. Didn't Egyptians denude themselves (maybe just Pharaohs?)? Other times/cultures known to have short/flat hair? I'm thinking outside of cult stuff you won't find genital shaving any time before now.<br /><br />I'm not "with" anon, but big hair seems to be a bit of a stretch without more data and the shaving thing doesn't have historical precedence (I know I'm getting ahead of the further research you said you would do). Although, trashy girls tend to be associated with more volume - read trashy as easy/loose - which would support hair volume as a sexually aggressive indicator. I wonder if trailer trash girls shave less? Heh, is there a blue-collar, low income version of Playboy to research?<br /><br />Oh, and I've seen fros trickling back in over the last couple of years.

I don't believe porn has driven it either, but your version is very flimsy. More likely many variables have converged to create either an anomaly or a lasting change.

Only going by what I've seen in the media, it seems that practicing and acceptance of oral sex has increased. I've read some statistics where a percentage of teenagers and young adults don't even consider it sex and some don't even consider it cheating. Point being that, could a greater mental and visual focus on genitalia help drive the reduction of hair? As a practical matter, less hair makes oral access easier and potentially the feeling more pleasurable.<br /><br />Relating personal experiences, to foster debate: my wife and I are now shaved. About 5 years ago we found ourselves near a fairly well-to-do neighborhood and school and my wife started getting invites to mani/pedis, sex toy sale parties, shopping dates...all the stuff we really only associated with television wives. My wife was 33 at the time and most of these women were older, yet they were pushing a lot of "young" ideas. Shaving was one of those. I think it became a mark of youth, much as a tramp stamp, to get shaved and surprise the hubby (besides, Cosmo said it was a good idea).<br /><br />So, my first observation is that the rise of cougars has given rise to older women adopting younger trends to maintain youth.<br /><br />I got the surprise one night and was not displeased. There is certainly a counter-movement of men who like/want hair, but the reality is that the majority swing from loving no hair to not caring. My nudy mag viewing days were during the trimmed lawn era, so I'm programmed to appreciate that, but I accept shaved just as well. My wife enjoyed the sexiness of the feel and the extra attention and, since I didn't mind, adopted the shave. As a late adopter, she's not as religious about it as younger women are and I don't care when it needs a trim. <br /><br />Second observation: A significant portion of our sex is oral, and was prior to the shave. As someone who has transitioned from one to the other, I definitely like the shave for oral sex. It's fundamentally easier when you don't have to deal with hair and my wife claims that the direct skin contact is better.<br /><br />At 12 years of marriage, adding spice the mix is always good. After a while, I thought maybe she would appreciate if I reciprocated with the hair removal. I contemplated just a tight trim, but decided I'd go whole hog for the first run. I did it, she liked it, nuff said. She wasn't asking for it and wasn't adamant that I maintain it, but I did ask her if she preferred it and she said she wouldn't have thought so, but yes she did. Visually she doesn't really care (although she has said that excessive hair - which I didn't have - is a turnoff), but practically, it's nice not having to deal with hair in the mouth, tickling nose, etc. Also, the balls get more play now, so I'm all about doing anything that makes my odds better down there. I'm a once a week shaver, and sometimes get too busy for that, so I really don't put a lot of effort in. The return on my effort is worth it. This change did lead me to be curious as to how many guys were doing the same or manscaping and whether women actually liked it. I don't have much from the guy standpoint - guys don't really talk about such things.<br /><br />Third observation: A casual poll over the years of women comfortable about answering the question either to me or to my wife (I got her to help me in this) has revealed an overwhelming majority prefer at least trimmed. Some like shaved, most don't care whether a guy goes that far. Only one responder ever said something negative, "Eww, that's like a little boy.", and let the record show that she was from a very conservative background.<br /><br />I guess what I'm ultimately getting at is that I don't feel like what we've done, or what a lot of people have done, has any relation to crime rates. Maybe falling crime is the genesis of the change, but other factors spur the increase?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
