I have a feeling that some of the folks who say "shaved genitalia squicks me because it looks like a child" just don't like shaved genitalia and can't think of a reason why so they come up with that to justify their preference.

Folks, it's a preference. You don't NEED to justify yourself to others.

I like women with really long hair. How do I justify it? I dont. It's what I like and that's that.

I have a bazillion other 'preferences' that I don't feel I need to justify to anyone.

Just some friendly advice. If a thread topic or the discussion in a thread takes a turn to something that you have such strong emotions/intolerance for.... maybe it's best just to close the thread and let the others talk. Unless you can post your POV without the expectation that everyone is going to agree or endorse your POV. Some may, some may not. Those who don't have their own valid reasons for not agreeing with you.

I'm not being mean, just trying to give you a coping mechinism for hot button topics.

you know what, i was talking about what my friend's mum had said. yes i think the comparison is silly/wrong, but i was talking about the way some people can take a personal opinion too far and insult others by doing so. all it takes is a read back to see that that wasn't aimed at anyone in here.

i'm frankly sick of trying to explain myself so that people see that i was talking about an extreme of the opinion.

It is your repeated use of people who think like that are " wrong " and trying to convince others that if they don't see the difference, then they are wrong too. That if they don't see the obvious difference, there is somethign wrong with their thinking. You, of course entitled to your opinion, but you seem to have the expectation that you are going to convert people. And frankly, your posting seems as if you are frustrated and irritated because others are not endorsing your opinion.
There are two topics that just set me off and I see red. I may read those threads, when they come up, but I don't contribute. Saves me a lot of frustration.

ETA: Specifically: your anecdote about your Mums friend: you have the expectation that others are going to condeme the friend for her opinions and vocalizations of such. It's unrealistic to expect total agreement on a MB.

Exactly. I shave it all and have for 20 years. Not once have I ever been confused with a child nor has my hairless state brought me any issues other than liking that smooth, clean, lovely feeling.

And yanno........based on some photos I've seen, a covering of carpet is only an improvement. Covering up some rather unfortunate ravages of time, genetics, hard use, whatever. Not all of the bare surface flooring is in top notch viewing shape.

Just saying.

again i'm talking general, as in anyone can read it back. i'm sorry if you thought i aimed that at you personally. i in no way think you are being mean so no worries.

it's not that i expect people to agree with me, or that i am trying to change their opinion. just that i originally was just putting something over to show how an extreme example can cause ill-feeling for those who are encompassed in that opinion. that just maybe if people could see how that extreme opinion may affect others they could keep it toned down at the very least. i get that others may have opinions that differ to mine, but that doesn't mean i shouldn't be able to voice my objection at that opinion. i think too that it can open up discussion so that even if agreement can't be made then at least a better understanding. i get what you are saying, but i will always say that it is wrong to say that anyone having sex with a hairless person is doing so because they want sex with a child. that is the extreme of the opinion that some have made in this thread.

however, to then say a point isn't being made and to belittle what someone is trying to do isn't constructive either. i wasn't expecting anyone else to comment on my friend's mum at all, just see where sometimes the extreme of an opinion can be hurtful or have implications for others.

LOL ! How true !

And conversely: It ain't a pretty sight when the carpeting fades to grey and is matted down like straw. Kinda like having a Donald Trump pubic coiffe, only grey.

So the bottom line is... hair, no hair, some hair, dye your hair. You pick. Whatever is most aesthetically pleasing to you and/or you and your partner(s).

I'm curious if your opinion is merely relegated to this topic or to all references made by adults concerning children that could be viewed in a sexual fashion? For instance, Daddy/little girl, age play, etc. Is this incorrect or simply your kink isn't my kink instead?

Namaste,

i could be wrong as it's not something i've looked into, but as i understand it age play has nothing to do with actual children. the 'adult' is not seeing the 'little person' as an actual child. while there could always be the exception to the rule, i don't think that the 'adult' is looking and thinking, i really do wish you were a real child. it's kink between concenting adults, and i have already said in here anything between concenting adults is fine. in that instance i'd be as open about telling someone they had it wrong to acuse either side of being into abusing children as i was about my point in here.

adults with actual children? well you don't stand a cat in hells chance of me ever seeing that as right in any way at all. it's straight abuse.

i think i've answered what you asked. if not ask further.
