How about a c*ck?

My advice to you is to never ask a question if you don't want to know the answer.

And I am just like:

"Dudes, don't punish me, please. In my opinion, you can totally marry. I am a huge fan of Kids in the Hall. Please don't make women look like hairless, thin-hipped breastless teenage boys. I will vote for whatever propositions you need to get the gay marriage thing going. Just... stop. You are better than this Rod Sterling-esque revenge tactic."

You will not let us be with little twinky boys... we will make your WOMEN little twinky boys!

No thank you. I dig on Amazons and chunky girl next door types. Leave me out of this.

I always kind of thought it was the straight white male dominated society that was trying to keep women subjugated, but maybe you have a point.

Also, it is Rod Serling (no 'T').

I had a crazy crush and then a passionate college relationship with a particular lady.  Then we broke up and it was bitter and angry, and then five or six years ago she Googled me and got back in touch.  We met at a bar, she apologized for being an ass hole (two words for emphasis) and I really thought we were on track to recapture our intense, physically-oriented relationship and I was all for that.

Until I found out that she'd stopped landscaping her lady-garden and in fact came to the conclusion that 70's-style overgrowth was the way to go.

I immediately stopped being obsessed with her.  Why couldn't she have told me that in, like, 1999 so I wouldn't have wasted so much of my life pining for her?  It was like I'd been hypnotized and someone snapped me out of it.  She's still very beautiful in my opinion but my interest in her physical company is zero.

And it's not like my current lady is sporting a permanent Telly Savalas down there, but at least she makes an effort every now and again.  The promise of a little occassional sunshine at the end (or the entrance, as it were) to that particular tunnel is all I ask for.

Edit - that ain't necessary. Everybody has the thing they are into.

I'm a fan of allowing hair to remain where it grows, except for the neck.  Anywhere else I can deal with.

Trimming is nice, but not necessary.  Sometimes it's nice to... ok, not going there.

I'm also not going to post the picture of the lady on all fours with a quote by Gimli and some props photoshopped in... but it appears if you Google Image search for "And my axe" you might find it.

Do I need to say that's going to be NWS?  It's going to be NWS.

I really just don't understand why I hate having hair on my neck and don't mind it anywhere else.  I'd go laser it off if it were cheaper, but I think I'd scare them if I *just* went in for that.  They might go into fits.

I wanna start off by saying, "to each her own" on this one.  From how bad I hear it hurts, I'm reluctant to try it.  Then I found the following links to make me even more reluctant:

I got some links from my favorite Patriarchy-blaming forum, which do give me pause.
http://scienceblogs.com/aetiology/2007/06/post_41.php (this represents a worst-case scenario patient, who blatantly disregarded her own health and well-being in the interests of having a hairless crotch).  Click at your own risk--pretty gross (no pictures, though, thank God).

PZ Myers's opinion, from Pharyngula, regarding the above "case study" http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/06/mammals_have_hair_get_used_to.php

Summary of links:  one potential side effect of Brazilians is golfball-sized cysts from bacterial infections in the skin, or worse. In the case of the worst-case patient, definitely WORSE.  EW.  And currently no one, such as public-health departments, are keeping track of how many cases there are, so no one can say if these infections as a result of Brazilians are a super-rare or surprisingly common occurrence.  Oh, but in this worst-patient-case:  GO TO THE FREAKIN' DOCTOR IF SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH YOUR FAVORITE BITS.  Seriously.  She could've avoided a lot of grief if she'd just gone at the first signs of trouble, rather than waiting.  Ach.

I might consider it if I knew I was going to a salon where the aesthetician was well-versed in universal precautions and had impeccable technique (regarding sterile practices).  But this has made me decidedly wary. 

[Nabubrush]

Well, yeah, but you got hair all over your body.

It looks really cute on you.

The title of this blog post is totally perfect:

Mammals have hair. Get used to it.

[V-Adore]

I should have known that reading comments on that blog would just make me depressed. Seriously, do people really treat full-body depilation as showering-level crucial hygiene acts?

Most mammals don't shower on a regular basis, either.

My dog likes to roll on cat poop, roots in the mud like a pig, and has atrocious breath that may or may not be related to getting into the trash/sanitary napikins/more cat poop.  Different species, different standards.

On the other hand, she spends a fair bit of time trimming the fur between her toes (with her teeth).  So there's definitely some alteration of the basic facts going on even there.

that's funny, because I was about to post "aren't there other mammals that groom themselves in hair-removing type ways? I feel like there must be..."

[smick]

Well, a cat that is distressed will groom themselves bald.

Birds will groom themselves to distressing extremes as well.

What about it, Wombles - any other mammals that shave their hoo-hoos?

[wombat]

If there are, I don't want to know about it!

[smick]

Some chimps got such as big fleshy butts.
