Cultural Pubic Hair Removal

The way pubic hair is dealt with in today?s modern society depends on culture, moral attitudes and fashion.

Some religions view pubic hair on a woman as unclean. Orthodox Jews and Muslims require, even today, the removal of a woman?s body hair before ritual cleansing. Ancient Egyptian men and women depilated themselves for aesthetic and hygienic reasons.

Ancient Greek and Roman men, although commonly very hairy, were depicted in statues and sculptures as having no body hair at all. Hairlessness was an ideal that represented eternal youth and sensuality.

In Medieval times, a lady?s pubic hair was removed dutifully by her handmaiden lest the lady be considered unclean or of poor status.

You may already know that the cutting of a woman?s hair on her head has been used as a punishment or as a way of marking her as an adulterer in centuries gone by. Think Demi Moore in ?The Scarlet Letter?. So too, the removal of men?s pubic hair was used to punish the captives of the Israelites, according to the Old Testament, so that they would be reduced to the status of ?mere women?, who, as part of their Judaism were required to pluck their hairs.

In Asia, particularly Japan, it is considered obscene to display pubic hair in films or in print media. By showing bare-skinned genitals, partially obscured of course, the censorship rules are relaxed.

As the 21st century has dawned, the removal of body hair is commonplace in many cultures. Around 90% of women in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia regularly ?go bare?, whereas in European countries, the figure is significantly lower, such as in France, where only 66% of women do this.

Those of us who have tried the ?brazilian? on for size, know that for all the pain and discomfort, there is also the converse side ? increased sexual pleasure. It?s hard to beat skin-on-skin anywhere on the body, but especially in the genital area, it results in totally different sensations.

Fortunately, there are many options for the removal of pubic hair. You can wax, sure ? if you don?t mind the torture, the expense and the two weeks or so worth of regrowth. Depilatory creams do a fine job, but do you really want chemical-laden foams smeared on your privates? Not only do they smell awful but they can cause skin irritations that negate the main reasons for removing the hair in the first place ? to look and feel smooth and sexy. Then, you can always pluck them! Ok, we won?t go there.

There is another solution. Billed as the ?pain free brazilian?, the Seiko Cleancut Triple Combo allows you to get rid of unwanted hair whenever you want or need to, without nicking, biting or pulling and with lovely, smooth results. Simply use it with talcum powder so that the shaver glides easily over the skin and you?ll feel baby smooth in minutes.
