Addemdum to above post. I don't, um, dye the hair on my legs.

There were under-30 guys swearing they'd lose their erections or want to vomit if they were fooling around with a woman and suddenly she revealed herself to have Hair Down There.

Curiously, that's the very thing that kept John Ruskin a virgin.

Also, your husband is not supposed to be there in the labor room, in case he never wants to have sex with you again. (There was an article about this in the New York Times, I shit you not.)

It's true. This is why no human couple has ever had more than one child.

(Speaking of which, can I have some stay-asleep-ma for Baby D? He's making up for letting me go to brunch yesterday by being a little cling-monster and refusing to sleep for more than ten minutes at a time if I'm not holding him. I've finally gotten him to lay down in the Amby and sleep - fingers are crossed that he's finally decided to take a real nap!)

I just opened my birthday card from the FiL. Picture of a kitten on it. Yep.

Oh, fuck. If there's any chance at all my dad is lurking here, y'all will have to excuse me while I go kill myself. A lot.

I don't count hair as a body part either. Makes a haircut sound like amputation, which is a bit melodramatic.

it is totally possible to be wearing a thong and accidentally catch your trouser/dress material in your buttcrack

Whuhuh? Either I have no idea what you mean or I've been blessed with my thong wearing. Where exactly do you ride public transport (that l is important)?

I'd think it's pretty clear that thongs give less VPL and possibly none. The downside is comfort, and well, that's not my problem if I'm not the one wearing them.

But did the kitten have a HUMAN FACE?

Again, I gotta say -- as long as those guys are totally shorn Down There, and are filled with self-loathing at the very idea of growing hair on their bait and tackle, then their reactions to hairy women are....well, if not *okay* by me, at least proportional, let's say.

Also, John Ruskin notwithstanding, I cry bullshit on the losing-an-erection thing. I don't know any straight guy who, when presented with a naked goolie for his enjoyment, would say "Oh, what's that? Hair? Well, then no, I guess I *won't* have that hot wild sex, after all."

I mean, *seriously.*

No, it did not. So he's one up on my sister.

So by not shaving, women can avoid having sex with immature jackasses? Sounds like a win-win to me...
