Hair supply

I don't know why it particularly came to mind that I was going to discuss pubic hair today, but for whatever reason, the subject has grown on me. Perhaps it is because the presence or lack thereof is tied so intimately to pornography and sexual attraction.

It doesn't do much on it's own beyond sprouting around the plumbing bits that take a more prominent role. Most of those exceptions tend to fall on the negative side of the equation as well. Sticky fluids drying in tightly kinked hair can make for tangles or knots that will give a vivid jolt to someone unfortunate enough to catch it. In addition, it's remarkably distracting when one's mouth happens to be engaged in sucking or licking someone else into a hopefully blissed out post-orgasmic languor and one or two adventurous hairs find their way into the nostrils. I don't know many women that would be impressed by sneezing directly into the cooter and men would just as soon not risk a set of teeth snapping shut on their favorite personal play-toy. (Incidentally, that whole "jaws clicking together without warning" thing makes TMJ disorder BJs somewhat of a high stakes gamble. Kills the mood dramatically to have to hand someone back pieces of their genitalia.) As a man, I can also say that catching a couple strands on the edge of a condom ranks highly on the discomfort meter. Mostly though, pubic hair seems to exist like parsley or single leaf of lettuce on a plated entree; there for presentation only.

Defined in terms like that, it would be tempting to give it little more than cursory notice much like noting the color of someone's shirt. After all, it is almost utterly aesthetic. I believe that would be over-simplistic in reality. Pubic along with axillary hair is a universal secondary physical characteristic denoting sexual maturity. Anyone that doesn't think that human sexuality has evolved to be intricately keyed into such obvious signals of reproductive potential shouldn't be left unsupervised with sharp objects or a bib to soak up the eternal cascade of drool down their chin. For damned sure they should never be allowed intimate contact with another person, ever.

The awareness can run deep, the fetish quite powerful in customers. The current trend in the mainstream is completely shaved for both men and women. As for the males, it's flat-out marketing themselves. The lack of hair around their hydraulics affords them the optical illusion of increased size in much the same way as light colored walls give the impression of spaciousness to a room. I would further conjecture that a furry scrotum flopping about "clutters" up the frame when the camera man zooms in for that "If I get any closer I'll need to put a tripod on her cervix" close-up. For the women, it seems to be a bit more varied. The "naked beaver" look still gets a lot of attention. A woman drops her panties to the floor and there is an unconscious expectation that there will be hair present on her crotch. When something is not present that is expected, it tends to arrest the attention.

On a similar vein are those who find shaving of the genitals to be highly erotic. Again, it could be argued that the obscuring of this biological sign cues into the basic levels of the brain. That said, there are many who scour the shelves for the densest, most unkempt patches of pelvic savannah they can find.

It boggles the mind at times to discover how profound and varied a seemingly minor and simple item can be.
