I always find conversations around body hair so interesting, maybe that in itself is a sign of how I am conditioned by society. If there were fewer expectations surrounding it I don’t suppose there’d be much to talk about really. I shaved all through lockdown, though I admit I did my legs less often. But underarm and pubes I kept up with. At one point Mr F said ‘I’m surprised you’re bothering’ and I was absolutely floored by his comment. I do shave for me, but I also shave for him, because I assumed, he like some past partners would find the body hair less appealing. Turns out he’s not fussed either way. Which meant I then considered whether or not I wanted to grow it out for me, turns out I really didn’t want to. But it does mean I can relax a bit and not panic if I haven’t shaved for a day or two and we get naked, which quite frankly is a huge relief. In the 4 years of my previous relationship, I was shaved, all over every time we got sexy! It was bloody tiring, lol!

I have loved seeing more body hair on other during lockdown though, because even though I don’t enjoy it on myself, I actually do enjoy it on other folks and I think your photo is delightful 🙂

I can’t believe in this day and age body hair is still everybody’s business. It’s hair, we all have it and should not be shunned or embarrassed by it. I’ve dated women that shaved constantly and others that rarely if ever touched a razor and I learned to appreciate that choice. It’s fascinating when I tell a girl that I’m dating that they don’t need to shave to make me happy, let it grow, up to you. They literally look at me like I’m crazy, lol. It’s interesting that when they have dropped the razor how much they actually enjoy their body hair and the freedom it brings. Cheers to you and your hairy adventure! ?

I wish I could unlearn the idea that body hair is shameful or wrong on women, but it goes in deep. And I do like the silky feeling after getting rid of it – if only it lasted longer than half an hour before getting spiky again! I think armpit hair looks good on you

I, lucky I have a partner that doesn’t care, or at least that’s what he says but he’ll often rub it which is just irritating. But hair is definitely a step too far for me, I hate how hair feels and how it sprouts from places I wish it wasn’t. If I could permanently get rid of every hair I would.

I do think the push toward women not having body hair is a societal pressure, quite possibly caused by (or at least encouraged by) mainstream porn. I know many women prefer not to have it, but honestly, if it weren’t for my husband;s preferences, I’d let mine grow.

I remember once being quite aroused by a woman’s armpit hair. It made me uncomfortable, and I tried to figure out both why it turned me on AND why I was later bothered by my reaction. I think the natural state allowed me to a make a visual connection to her pubic hair.

But, for practical purposes, I’d agree with Modesty. It’s best to do what makes you comfortable in your own skin.

Honestly body hair regardless of where it is doesn’t bother me. I usually have a strip but that varies constantly and my underarm hair is gone mostly (when I remember) mainly because I don’t like how it looks on me, so I shave it off for me. x

I shave my armpits maybe once every few months, usually only after an uncomfortably sweaty experience. Otherwise I let it be.

Is that sexy?

It’s comfortable. It’s how I roll. The ‘sexy’ question has never really occurred to me.

In thinking about it though…

One of the sexiest “vanilla life” photos I have ever seen was of Joan Jett, sweat pouring off her at the end of a stage set, mouth open wide against the Mic and arms raised… Showing completely natural, un-self-conscious dark tufts of hair under her pits.

It’s the un-self-conscious part that makes the biggest difference, I think.

I absolutely ‘get’ what you are saying about conditioning. But I sincerely hope you are able to take that twinge of shame and twist the negative power of that feeling into something positive.

When it comes to your body and how you present it, you do You. Body hair is completely natural. There’s no reason you should shave it off unless YOU want to. What ‘society’ thinks doesn’t matter unless you let it.

Your underarm hair does look so soft.
