Pubic hair

In France, chasing of the intimate hair is relatively recent. But in numerous regions of the world, the removal of hair is cultural and ancestral. In Arab countries, where the hair is for a long time symbol of impurity (in the ancient Egypt, the queens and their handmaids already depilated armpits and the pubis). In Japan, where to show pubic hairs is prohibited, or in Rio, where to be able to carry one " fio dental " ("dental floss", the local nickname of the G-string), at the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, it is necessary to leave at first its modesty hung on the cloakroom of the beauty salon named depilaçao that we find at every corner of the street, and grumble his pain with every strip of wax removed by beauticians with a smile. Traditions which concern as well the women as the men, the removal of hair of testicles and anus being widely spread there. Moreover, the western men also begin to feel the pressure. Advertisements let suppose that a totally beardless man is a man sexually more successful. An opinion on the question ? My answer is NO, definitely NO. For those who are afraid of an ultimate standardization, they can have a look at the exhibition "Culture Touf" where you can participative to the project by photographing the closest possible your pubic hairs. This is imagined by the collective UrbanPorn and whose some contributions you can watch here. Long live the variety!
