Why are people so grossed out by body hair?

I saw this question earlier asking about a natural bush on a woman and the responses kinda suprised me. A LOT of the women were saying "ewww" and saying its gross, a few men were saying similar things but I noticed it was mostly women. I never understood why people find body hair gross, personally I kinda like hair. I shave it or trim it just cause it makes wearing bikini bottoms easier or if a guy I'm with prefers it, but I don't consider the hair "yuck and gross." And I actually think pubic hair looks more womanly than bare. I think having a preference is PERFECTLY ok, but I never understood the "eww hair is gross" thing.
Even when I was younger and had just started growing leg hair I had girls in my class and friends look at my legs and tell me how gross it was, so I took my moms razor and shaved it. Why are people so against something so natural?

  • Good question. As you already said, it's natural. Personally, I like a girl with a full bush, but I can enjoy it as well when she is shaved or trimmed. But my personal preference is a bush. Nevertheless, I can fully understand guys who don't like a bush and I respect their preferences as well. As long as it's kept clean, it's not gross. I can understand that some guys would find a full untrimmed bush visually not very pleasing, but even an unkempt bush can be clean. Not needed to call is gross. In the end, it's just a bit of hair...

  • I've been around long enough to remember when everyone had pubic hair.
    It's really not a big deal to me at all.

    • I didn't realize this was such a new thing 😆I remember my step sister telling me I should shave basically as soon as I started growing any

    • Yeah, all the women that I saw in porn magazines in the 80's had bush. All of my girlfriends in the 90's had bush and it would have been considered very strange for anyone to shave it off back then. My wife had pubic hair right up until about 2010, that's when she started watching porn and immitating it.

    • That is interesting 🤔 thank you for sharing

  • I don't mind it personally.

    I normally go natural with a light trim, sometimes let my under arms grow out a little and may have spikey legs when I am at home for a lengthy time.

    I agree that it looks more womanly having a nice bush but it does not. make a woman who chooses to be bare less womanly.

    Whatever a person's preference is up to them and I respect that, certainly won't go "eeew" or anything similar to that effect because I am an adult. 🙂

  • Apparently there was massive campaigns like shaming people into shaving just like there are now about wearing mask.

    Some things never made sense to me like why is man's armpit hair more hygienic as only women are required to remove it and people only say eww to them.

    • Or maybe humans are domesticated animals for a higher species and we have been brain washed to pluck ourselves cause itd be easier to eat and less work when we get eaten by them. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 😝

  • im not sire i know a few litalian women that looks sexy with bush , and in some cultures its considered beautiful and a status that means your a woman not a child. it makes me wonder why some guys like a balled beaver >_>

  • I can't believe I never answered this question. I don't have a hair fetish but I do appreciate it. I just like things the way the body was made. To me, pubic hair on a woman represents female sexual maturity and fertility. It sends a signal that her body is ready for vaginal intercourse. To me it's very womanly and feminine. It also serves a purpose to protect the vagina and urethra from bacteria and vectors from entering. It's actually more clean than without.

  • Cuz it doesn't feel soft and prevents your appearance to be shown smooth and clean. By shaving we let our ape ancestors to turn with disappointment from not embracing their gift of hair that still has to grow back to shave off again and again to have good hygiene throughout our life that makes us feel healthy and confident for being responsible enough to do.

  • I'm not at all as a matter of fact i would love to meet some one with lots of it. For me it's a turn on

  • I enjoy oral sex. And I know I dont like going down on a man thats all bushed out. No one likes to get pubes in their mouth. So either keep it trimed, shaved, or waxed.

    • Yeah I understand that and the preference for it :p that makes perfect sense. The part that didn't make sense for me is when people act like body hair is disgusting.

    • But thank you for your input ❤❤

    • No problem. Hair downtown to me is only gross when it comes to oral.

  • No clue probably just immature to be honest

  • I prefer trimmed, bald only if I'm serious about a guy and he has a thing about it. My ex was disgusted by it, not sure why, but he was.

  • I don't mean gross like dogshit but on myself personally I don't want hair. My boyfriend has hair all over and I find that extremely sexy but not for girls

  • Yeah I think it was me making a fuss about it... cause it's repugnant (to me) which I understand is personal and subjective.
    You like it, cool. You like 'au natural' wild beast hippy sasquatch crotch -- more power to ya.

    • 😆yess love the sassy crotch Thank you for sharing Miss Tamera952 ❤

  • Lice, crabs, fungus, all hide in the hair follicles.

    Yeah hair is fine, but some people don’t wash themselves very well. Especially if they have thick bushy hair.

  • I dont mind body hair in general but pubic hair... bad experiences when going down on women i was with who didn't shave it off

  • I like some natural bush. Shaved, waxed or just a strip is great too. I'm fine with anything as long she's comfortable, that's all that matters to me.

  • Some people still like body hair, but in my family I think most hate it, and everyone in the house removes pubic hair

  • lol I don't like humans looking more towards monkeys. And i think the process of evolution of losing hair was a good thing for human species. Hair that ain't on my head i just find it generally bad. That been said i have never removed cause cannot be bothered and never met a girl who wants me to get rid of it so no need for now.

  • I with you @nettle it's not all that gross I fell if girl's pussy is hairy then you guys will know she's women I think when a man wants it shaved then they are into little girl pussy instead of women's because if a man says shave you pussy that means he doesn't like you for who you are. The best I would do is if your man says that stay true to you don't let a man say what you can and can't do.

  • I don't know. It's natural. 🙄

  • I think pubes are gross. And armpit hair
    Shave it off

  • Ever try eatting pussy with it covered in hair? It's like licking the top of someone's head.

  • It is just that they are influenced by society and that it is learned to feel that way about body hair. Capitalism plays into this as well, making women think they have to remove it using products and services to do so. I personally think naturally hairy is best, it is so sexy, primal and feminine. Everything about it is better. Ultimately whatever makes one comfortable is the way to go, but I really wish people would stop trying to shame others about their preferences, especially one personal as this.

  • I don't know, I got grossed out once, but it was like a crazy rare amount. Like Imagine a guy wearing a sweather, but it's hair instead of a sweater.

    Apart from that case, I dig it
