Where the hair?! That’s shaven, but not to extreme levels of wax that shit into oblivion this morning. Hollywood and porn industry basically since 90s has just brainwashed society into believing body hair is disgusting and weird. For some reason. It’s also especially funny when you descend into “Hairy” section of the porn and it’s just normal women with normal levels of body hair. Like, not even full yeti, just some armpit hair and a bit of a bush downstairs. That’s not “hairy”, that’s just “normal” woman.
Firstly be what makes YOU comfortable, then look for what others might care. I’ve tried shaving fully to silky smooth levels and it’s really not comfortable in a lot of places of body.
just want to remind people that humans have been shaving various areas of their bodies for thousands of years. they did it in ancient Rome. we’ve probably been removing body hair for much longer than that even. it’s not a modern thing it’s just the fashion right now. personally idgaf whether other people remove their body hair or not. I like to though, it feels nice and makes me feel sexy.
When I want to treat myself, I shave, exfoliate and moisturise my legs, and change my bedsheets. It’s divine.
I used to shave my legs because of the nebulous patriarchal pressure that many girls and women experience. But now I do it for good reasons and it’s much more liberating
THANK YOU. The idea that this is some new trend drives me nuts. I wanna add on that waxing hair for aesthetics is even older than shaving; it’s extremely difficult to get a shaving edge with bronze tools (and shaving with flint sucks), but you can make sugaring paste with honey - and there’s evidence of it being done for beauty at least 6,000 years ago. There’s plenty of evidence that it was common in ancient egypt, rome, greece, china…
I don’t think it’s the removal of body hair that is seen as “new”. It’s the way it’s ridiculed like in this post when there’s a tiny bit of stubble lol and it’s worth mentioning.
Though I wouldn’t say that’s new either, it’s just more and more widespread the wider the communication methods have become. But this isn’t “new” even in the modern world for Hollywood, it’s online now with the wider reach but this stuff has existed for as long as we’ve been photographing celebrities lol.
You’re right about farther back than ancient Rome. A few months ago I went to a mummy’s tomb exhibit from ancient Egypt. People considered shaving so important they were buried with their razors so they could shave in the afterlife. Not just faces either, body and head hair were not spared.

The elites don’t even want people to look like mammals let alone humans.
They want us to look like reptiles, so that they fit in!!1
