People are sniggering about the idea of pubic shaving being linked to a desire for younger partners, particularly pre-adolescent.
But I do kind of agree.
I seriously hate the way completely shaved vulvas look. I was sexually abused as a pre-adolescent and I have a visceral sort of fear-hate-anger when I see fully shaved vulvas in a sexual context — even when it’s a person that is of the age of consent and the sex act is consensual.
I know my distaste towards shaved vulvas goes beyond my dislike of how body hair is gendered. It’s a very deep, personal issue for me and I get into a twitchy rage when it’s assumed that vulvas must be shaved and not shaving is mocked.
I don’t want my body to look like the body that was abused.
