    I’m an old guy with a long romantic career. When I had this conversation it was about shaving her legs. I understand some young people these days expect full Brazillian, or at least a tidy trim. I suspect this figures into the current segregation of the sexes.

    One first-date purposely did not shave her legs as a disincentive for intimacy, I wouldn’t have minded, but she felt embarrassed over one day’s growth. We were chaste that night, but had a second date.

    Different partners trimmed or shaved completely (some brave women waxed) and I was delighted in all cases. In LTRs, sometimes shaving resulted consistently in ingrown hairs, in which case I insisted please don’t do so on my behalf.

    But then, I was a kid in the 1970s and society was getting accustomed to the idea of being our natural selves, body hair, (armpit hair,) and all. It stemmed, I think, from the hippy movement. It was very live and let live.

    But of course, for the glamour and cosmetics industry, that just wouldn’t do.

      • Yeah, I was born the same year as the Summer of Love. My parents weren’t hippies. They were Brad and Janet.

        Actually my dad was one of the black ties in Apollo 13 except he was on the Apollo 12 team.

        And yeah, he grew up to be a Reagan Republican. Now he’s staunch MAGA and a FOX News devotee.

        But the hippies were the ones who warned us of the rising police state while stoned out of their ears. I knew some of them. And yes, they weren’t purely liberal or Democrat either, but both parties were a bit more intermixed at the time.

            Ok but think about if the air flow encountered turbulence and caused the snorkel to vibrate…

              Right, I’m not sure how much of the face can be seen. Would need someone to research POV angles and adjust for variation in population (height, maybe waist measurements, chest measurements, tongue length, etc.)

              Then make some sort of SFW info graphic explanation.

              On second thought I don’t think I want to know. Might affect my performance, not here for vanity. I’m on a mission from god 🤣

    Once every 1-2 months I take no-guard clippers to it and get everything off but not shaved enough to cause ingrowns. It stays neat for 4-6 weeks then returns to wild bush. Every single time I do it it’s an hour long ordeal but it always feels so nice at the end and I’m like holy shit why didn’t I do this a 1-2 weeks ago??? The airflow + not getting gunk in it is 100% worth the hours’ work every time.
