Hairy woman does not shave

186. In the 60s

Maybe it's because I came of age in the sixties, but I don't understand the revulsion that many seem to feel. I have been married nearly 40 years, and I don't think my wife has worn make-up more than three times in those 40 years. She leaves her armpits au naturel most of the year, but feels the pressure to shave them in the summer, for sleeveless shirts, and bathing suits. Yes, it does take bravery for a woman to buck this norm, but it shouldn't.

Any heterosexual man who hasn't experienced the sensual thrill of nuzzling a clean, unshaven female armpit, has missed out. This is the source of pheromones - the scent of your mate, much of which doesn't even register consciously, is a huge part of the sexual bond. I'll often smell my wife's back and neck in the night - I don't really notice a smell, but the comfort and happiness it brings as I drift off to sleep is undeniable. When did humans become so afraid of nature's subtle signals?

But if you want to shave, anything, everything, go ahead. It's up to you and your spouse, and no one else should bat an eye however you choose to deal with body hair. Why the judgment? I don't get it.
