ORIGINAL: sunshinedreams I always love when this subject comes up and how many people call it a deal breaker. I haven't shaved except for a few times since 1987 and I can honestly say I have only run across a couple of guys who were not thrilled by it, but not enough to make them go. It does seem, in this country, it takes a certain kind of woman to go against the grain and remain au natural. I always figured that if someone was interested it include all of me, with or without hair. BTW, I stopped shaving the summer I worked at a camp. One of the other women who were working there nicked herself shaving and the infection became so bad that she was put on IV antibiotics. It made me think about how stupid it is to conform to this unnatural ritual. see, if you have a reason to shave or not to shave, that's good. alot of women do it "just because." because it's not "ladylike" to be hairy or whatever, or "everybody does it." it's good to know WHY you do or don't shave. it's always kinda struck me as odd that there is so much "politics" related to body hair. Like umm... a dance troupe called UNMATA -- several of their members don't shave, and that fact alone has kept alot of people from even going to see them, regardless of how insanely amazing they are. =p that kind of prejudice is really silly, when it's perfectly acceptable for a guy to flash groadie, sweaty, deodoranty hairy pitts at the world. =p that's just YUCK on anyone. and there are a heck of alot of skin issues you can wind up in shaving too much. staph infections from shaving nicks are one that i hear about ALOT. and no amount of shaving cream or lotion afterwards makes your skin feel better if you've got sensitive skin. =p i've got really finicky skin that doesn't like to be shaved AT ALL, i just don't like body hair =p but it is very unnatural and is primarily imposed on females even though we grow hair naturally, too =p electrolysis from the neck down would be ideal haha
