Betty Dodson, sex educator and producer of Viva La Vulva, says, “| think we have changing ideas about what’ s public and what’ s private. And now that nudity is more public--nude beaches, routine nudity in film, and the enormous amount of exhibitionism and porn on the Web--l’ m not surprised to see a trend toward pubic shaving. | think it’ s probably here to stay.” She told me that, “Thanks to the lack of a comprehensive sex education for kids, young girls now want their vulvas to look like porn stars because that's what their boyfriends jerk off to and prefer. It's all they know.” But a new study has concluded that pubic hair is returning: “The men don’ tcare and the women don’ tcan’ t bother." Welcome back, good old bush. Hide and seek a friendly clit. Ironically, although Arnold Schwarzenegger was only joking when he announced that 4e was going to get a Bikini wax, actually Beverly Hills skin care and waxing expert Nance Mitchell has about fifty regular male customers that come for pubic waxing who “are not gay and they are not porn stars. Some go totally bare, some just do the shaft and up around the pelvic area.” She explains that “It depends on what their wives and girlfriends want. Men go along because removing the hair makes the whole package look bigger.” Ah, yes, the ///usion of size does matter. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015346
