    Pubic stubble

    Hi everbody,

    I realize that people have different tastes, and in Abbyland bush is quite popular. That's fine with me. I'm quite glad to see that the times when nothing but a full Brazilian was acceptable for the mainstream are coming to an end. For me, it's a bit like with bald heads. It can look amazing and very sexy, but not everyone has the head for it, and if you saw it all the time, it would become boring. My favourite hair style "down under" is actually a full, luscious bush with trimmed or shaven labia for a better view (and easier access, if I am lucky enough to get to play with them).

    So long pubic hair is fine with me - an inch or more, preferably - and shaven is fine, too. What I don't like too much is stubble or a too rigorous trim - except, as mentioned, on the labia. Of course, that's just me, and others may have different tastes. What I don't quite understand though is why models who normally shave would be encouraged to let their hair grow out for a couple of weeks before a shoot, when it's obvious that there's not enough time to achieve more than maybe a millimetre or two. To me, that's not very attractive, and even if some people may like stubble, it seems to go against the whole idea of showing the models "naturally".

    Any opinions on this?

    Cheers,
    Olaf a.k.a. Eliza

    Yeah, I'm not keen on stubble either -- can look a bit like the surface of a plucked chicken.

    Trim-haired looks great, and I've learned not to mind the shaved/wax look too.

    Does the in-between look appeal to anyone?

      I agree with both of you - I do like shaved very much, but otherwise would much prefer full or fullish bush.

        Like Eliza, my #1 preference is a bush trimmed around the sides of the outer labia.
        Full bushies are #2 by a hair. Bare pubes does look great on some ladies, but my mind always wonders how they would look, with full or trimmed bush.
        Stubble does look like a transition phase, but considering the wonders we get to gaze upon, I really can't complain much about stubble.

          Agreed! I would never complain about a woman's grooming preferences. It's just that I've seen quite a few videos and forum posts recently in which models mentioned that they had stopped shaving specifically for AW. Which is fine if they're planning to let their bush grow, anyway, but seems a bit silly to me if they do it just for the shoot and then go back to shaving afterwards. That's why I thought I'd point out that I'm not a fan of stubble. If a model is planning to grow her bush, personally I would prefer her to start after the shoot rather than a few weeks or days before.

            AGREE OR DISAGREE
            PLAYBOY mag made shaved pubes trendy?
            PENTHOUSE did the same for pubic hair?

            So says this...
            Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.


            With PENTHOUSE's Bob Guccione recent passing, I distinctly remember the fantastic March 1975 Penthouse issue, where the model had pubic hair. I was a teenager, and for a long time I thought that centerfold Susan Ryder was the most beautiful woman in the world.

              The way I heard it, it wasn't just about trendy. It used to be that showing pubic hair was not possible for censorship reasons, so magazines would retouch their images in order to remove any that was visible. Don't ask me for a timeline on that, but I imagine that Penthouse may simply have been the first widely published soft porn publication that dared to go all out on breaking that former taboo.

              If my memory doesn't betray me, the shaving frenzy started much later, in the late 80s and early 90s. I've always thought that it was spearheaded by the hardcore crowd rather than by publications like Playboy, but I'm not a porn historian and may be utterly wrong.

                I totally agree with you, Eliza. I much prefer a natural neat full bush, or a nicely manicured patch, rather than stubble. It's so much softer/smoother, and doesn't give you pash rash when exploring. I think a few models have had stubble as they were in the midst of growing their pubic hair back, or waiting til it's that annoying length where they could get it waxed again. Where possible, I'll try to book models in for shoots either after they've just been freshly waxed, or once they've been able to grow out their pubes- whichever they prefer to do, so that we can hopefully reduce the stubble. x

                    The whole pubic area was either not shown or completely wiped out so it looked like there was no vagina. This was the case up until the early 70s when Penthouse started showing pubic hair, but no shaved models. It was full bush or no bush. After a bit of not getting closed down by legal stuff they started showing vaginas where you could see the edges of the labia (major and minor). Then after a bit more time the first shaved models appeared. It was probably about the early 80s when shaved was becoming standard. Playboy started with pubic hair about the time Penthouse shaved it. It was another 10 years or so before Playboy showed a shaved vagina where you could actually distinguish the lips. By then Penthouse and Hustler were doing wide open spreads. Then they went hard core and showed actual penetration. It was interesting to watch the progression over the years. I used to follow it quite closely.

                    My favorite was watching the ups and downs of peeing. Penthouse had a bunch of shoots and even had contests, but did nothing with it really. Hustler dabbled with it for a while, but also let it die. There were ads for videos in the back and then those disappeared.

                    I remember the first time I saw a live shaved pussy. It was quite a shock (in a good way). It was early or mid 70s in California in a bar featuring nude dancers. The girls were not allowed to show parted lips. They would put their hands over their pussy when ever they would get into a position that would naturally pull the lips apart. That applied shaved or not.

                    So BookManz, I would disagree on both your points. Playboy was way late in the shaved game and Penthouse showed pubic hair and then shaved it off later with pictorials of women shaving it even.

                    I think the shaving thing was more from just the general exposure of shaved pubes in the magazines and the guys who were looking asking for shaved pubes. I tried for the longest time to get my wife to shave and she wasn't interested.

                      I'm not a great fan of the transition stage, having a general preference for nice lush lady garden. As an aside; stubble on the pubic region rather than pubic stubble. On one memorable occasion I was summarily dispatched to the bathroom to shave, being told I was unbearably prickly (if you'll forgive the expression)

                            I feel encouraged by the responses of chloe_b and patience here. Though (I think) not seen recently, shaving rash has ruined the shoot of at least one otherwise fine looking model. Stubble is a stumbling block for me.

                              I don't really mind either way. Natural and hairy is better. As long as it doesn't look like someone pretending to be too young, it's alright for me.

                                In the shaven vs. unshaven controversy, I am emphatically for "unshaven." A full triangle - with maybe a light trim - says "fertile female" and it's a turn on. A completely shaven pubis says "prepubscent female" and it's -not- a turn on. A brazilian or 'landing strip' says "slut" and it's a turn off.

                                  A neatly trimmed pubic bush, kept short and manicured, is a turn-on for me, as it is indicative of a lady who takes good care of herself. A full bush is attractive too, as it adds to the fun of 'navigating through the jungle to get to the jewel.' Cleanshaven doesen't necesarrilly mean pre-pubescent to me, especially when it's on a lady whom I know is an adult. It can be really attractive even on an more mature lady.

                                    i don't mind the look of a pussy with stubble,but i'd never eat,it's like sandpaper.
                                    the well taken care of girls are trimmed,the shaven ones are for the underage look and the hairy are beautiful,but flossing is a must.

                                      You have forced me out of my posting dormancy!

                                      I must respectfully disagree with your assessment of the history of shaving vs. bush in Seventies through Nineties porn. I began looking at Playboy and Penthouse as an adolescent in the mid 1970s. By the early to mid Eighties, I had graduated to other magazines such as Club, Cavalier, Genesis, Oui, etc., including some of the 'harder core' stuff. I never was a big Hustler fan, though I did see my share of that mag too.

                                      Actually, Playboy started showing bush beginning with Liv Lindeland, January 1971 Playmate. http://www.nakedworldrecords.com/playpub.htm Both Playboy and Penthouse featured full bushes throughout the 1970's. Penthouse was always a little bit harder core, with more labia shots (and less air-brushing), but Playboy was showing labia (albeit no spreads) beginning in the mid '70s. Although full bush or light bikini trims were the rule, by the late Seventies a few models trimmed the sides of their pubic hair into a wide strip, and even fewer shaved the labia area, while leaving a hairy patch above.

                                      Beginning in the early Eighties, trimming became commonplace, although it generally wasn't severe (as in the 'landing strips' seen today). Full bushes and trim-jobs coexisted. As time went on, trimming gradually gained favor. Even in hardcore material, full shaving was uncommon until the early to mid Nineties, and was generally relegated to fetish magazines like 'Shaved Slits' and the like.

                                      Shaving didn't become fully dominant until the mid to late Nineties, and even then there were still a significant share of trimmed and unshaved pussies, especially in amateur porn.

                                      Getting back on topic, I don't mind the look of partially grown out pubes, including stubble. On the other hand, I do prefer the look (and feel, and taste) of a full bush. As for shaving, I just can't get used to (or really enjoy) that particular look, although I respect that it's the model's grooming decision, and also that many members do prefer that look.

                                      Certainly, I would rather feel either a hairy or smooth pussy, than a rough stubbly one. That has limited relevance to my personal enjoyment of the site, however, since it is about sight and sound, not taste or touch.

                                        I did not realize so many were like me that prefer the full bush,I felt I was in the minority.

                                          I cannot really decide what I like better.
                                          Full Shaved, shaved, trimmed, Bush or full Bush.
                                          I think it depends on the girl. But I like to see her labia and for the better view, I prefer shaved or trimmed.
                                          A short stubble triangle looks very nice.
                                          I think I would prefer it.

                                              I Don't mind either way, I would even eat a partially grown, because the little sandpaper affect stimulates me ...It doesn't really hurt from my experience. The full grown bush may event irritate around your lips more... :/ Because pubic hair is course anyway.

                                              I definitely find the comment about ''Brazilian or landing strip says ''slut'' '' offensive though... that's also what people used to say about fully shaved... At the end of the day , it's a creative or grooming choice, and it says nothing about the personality of the girl, Apart from that they may be very creative if they like me, enjoy shaving patterns, designs and zig-zags into their pubic areas . I've also tried a mohawk after the full bush was grown, so had longer hair in the middle to do the mohecan (spell check) with...

                                              I personally like all of them but actually can say I am turned on by the brazilian or landing strip/creative styles

                                                I'd have to disagree a little, I find with longer pubic hair if my teeth are being flossed, I can just use my hand to smooth the hair out of my way and usually get totally free, unrestricted access. Although with stubble, the hair is too short to smooth out the way, so my only solution is to either hope my partner doesn't mind me spreading her legs and lips a little further than normal, or I'll just have to put up with pashrash.

                                                My favourite pubic hair style on someone else (at the moment, my tastes change regularly), is a full triangle of hair on top, with totally smooth lips to allow for more "exploring" of soft skin. Kinda like Renae D's pubic region...

                                                    I like having some hair as long as not disturb me during sex. What I hate is to take "half", or too short or too long is fine, but have some hairs sticking out (and clicking!) Is something that I really dislike.

                                                    The problem is that I normally work as a model, and pubic hair is not very well seen, so I´m shaved almost always
                                                    (Well, the truth is that right now I have not worked a couple of months, and I have a good bush waiting for AW hahaha)
