Ok, Im nearly 69, and am still in possession of all my pubic hair. - but it seems that modern fashion means we should all be naked as the day we were born! From what I read/see etc online in the papers, TV, nearly all younger women have decided that pubic hair is no longer in vogue!! My dilemma is ,as far as medical stuff goes, I feel a bit foolish (and dare I say it-dirty) for still having mine!! Most of the nursing staff, doctors etc are much younger, and I feel they may look at me in a "grubby" way when I have been in hospital etc. Do any of you older ladies still have what god intended ??

Well said Bluebell

Please all of you, read posts from new posters with a little bit of caution, and if in doubt IGNORE. They would soon get fed up if they got no replies, instead of being on page 5. We play into their hands.

Read (if you haven't already) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. When you reach the episode in the beauty salon, you will fall off your perch laughing. That's all I have to say!

Anno that was hilarious wasn’t it! A whole new meaning to Hollywood!

I hope Ladyinspain will not have been put off posting on Gransnet , by people who consider her post unworthy (yet continue to contribute to them on page 5)

Bellanonna Mon 31-Dec-18 17:39:02

I think you’ll find that posts tend to wander, Atqui ?

lemongrove Mon 31-Dec-18 17:40:14

I don’t know about you Atqui but I can never imagibe starting a thread with the OP ‘ok, am nearly 69 and am still in possession of all my pubic hair’ !!
In possession of my wits, or my teeth or the hair on my head maybe.
seacliff yes! Caution is needed.

MawBroon Mon 31-Dec-18 17:57:50

Not unworthy perhaps unwise ?

oldbatty Mon 31-Dec-18 18:03:49

Lordy lemon, I thought you were referring to your good self there for a moment.

Atqui Mon 31-Dec-18 18:13:32

There are often threads that don’t interest me, so I don’t pursue them. My point is that one or two people were judgemental and condescending about this one, yet continued to read it. There was no harm in it , even if the opening line unusual, and the woman who opened the thread had a genuine concern, given young peoples current obsession with 0 body hair

BlueBelle Mon 31-Dec-18 18:56:03

Sorry don’t buy the genuine concern at all it was a very sexually confident woman who wasn’t in the least bit concerned she wanted to throw a bit of a firework into the cauldron ????

MissAdventure Mon 31-Dec-18 18:57:25

Well, I have to say I've often wondered..

Lisagran Mon 31-Dec-18 19:00:58

“ a very sexually confidant woman, Bluebelle ?

BlueBelle Mon 31-Dec-18 19:13:41

Oh Lisagran you thinking it might be a ..... well ummmm now there’s a thought even more hilarious ?

Chewbacca Mon 31-Dec-18 19:16:42

Hmm Lisagran, that thought opens up a whole new can of worms!

MawBroon Mon 31-Dec-18 19:19:33

Who knows?
Whatever, it was clearly meant to show off, possibly shock, possibly titillate and like the boobs one ( which I won’t menion) no way could it be seen as an innocent question about personal hygiene.
Puerile ( perhaps literally) and guess what? It set off a train of a few jokes but also unpleasantness and suggestive comments.
Another one for the trash can?

Lisagran Mon 31-Dec-18 20:22:17

Absolutely Mawbroon

Lilylilo Mon 31-Dec-18 20:25:59

I often draw nudes and I can assure you all of them whatever age have pubic hair.

BlueBelle Mon 31-Dec-18 20:36:08

???

Lazigirl Mon 31-Dec-18 20:47:13

I have done weekly life drawing classes for years Lilylilo and have yet to see a model of any age with pubic hair. Although piercings and tattoos aplenty!

MawBroon Mon 31-Dec-18 21:00:01

Those of a delicate disposition look away now
