It's probably just biological. Child bearing age and all that.

No, it isn't unfortunately. I don't know what's worse -- the parents allowing their twelve year olds to act and dress as they're twenty or for the guys to be falling all over them.

well, it looks like most societies have come to realize that. But for bazillions of years, I guess it was something that worked fairly well... Also, a good percentage of girls used to get "it" later than we do nowadays...I don't think age fourteen, fifteen, was uncommon at all.

it baffles me too. i've never been interested in going totally bald but after some pressuring from a BF and my own curiousness taking over, i tried it, and HATED it. i felt like a little kid and thought it was totally a disgusting sight on a grown woman. but it seems that almost everyone i know is into it. yuck. gotta keep some hair.

The fact is that our society has moved away to older girls being looked on...in a way I don't see why it is seen as so disgusting given it was the norm for so many years, lets face it...it is a biological thing.

Now I am young so maybe I see it differently and yer you may look twice if you see a huge guy with a beard hooking up with a chick with no tits...I mean even at my age I would never go for a girl that young only because of emotional understanding and capacity, but biologically I just don't get the sickness really.

(Sorry if that made no sense...very tired at the moment )

Just took a rag and put it in my mouth so I didn't scare the dogs and the neighbors as I screamed bloody murder. yeah..it comes with this.."comfort spray" ooh..no*L* !!! huh uh....doesnt work. I think the worst part is...you have to pull it off yourself. Unless you can find some poor unfortunate soul that will rip it off for you. It says.."hold the skin taut with one hand and with the other hand, grip the bottom of the strip. In one swift and decisive movement, remove the strip against the growth of the hair" that's right ladies.....one swift and DECISIiVE movement..because if not...your gettin' half way thru and you're going the rest of your life with a waxing strip hanging off your leg...


How do you get all the obscure ones that are in those...sort of..."hidden places"? I'm a shaver myself. It's easier, much less painful and with a sharp blade it can be done just as smoothly.

That would really suck to have to be someone's pad. Poor guy..

Well, it could be worse-- you could wish to be someone's tampon but then you'd be the future King of England.

Yer I spose you are right on this...I just find paedophiles unbelievable...I am 17 so I don't get it really, but I mean we are only a very new part of history with our culture at the moment so we are still really learning and moulding our standards I think.

I get your point about the Witches as well

I can't speak for him but I would venture to guess that he will feel differently when he is older, especially if he is ever blessed with a daughter, and she is twelve.

I would never ever have a Brazilian or any bikini wax. Shaving isn't really a big deal and I am lucky because I never get any bumps or ingrowns. Also, Venus razor all the way, those things are a marvel of modern engineering. Seriously, you would have to try to cut yourself with one.

This is so interesting. How differently we gals feel about waxing down south. It seems maybe about 50/50. Just when I read one post for, the next post is against. Now, I'm really confused
