Are we obsessed with hair removal?

It has to be said, I'm a little OCD when it comes to hair removal. I can vividly remember at the age of 11 thinking "I don't like this" and taking my dad's razor and well, hacking it all off! The older (and wiser in this case I might add) I got, the more savvy I became when it came to hair removal.

 I think most of us girls start off shaving when we are teens, than dabble in the odd smelly hair removal cream application before we start thinking of better options such a waxing and epilating. That was the case for me anyhow, I am an avid epilator on my legs, and I would never dream of using any other method of hair removal apart from waxing on my bikini area. The only  area I have shaved in years has been under my arms because I just find it so easy to do everyday,which bring me to the topic of this post. I think i'm a little obsessed when it comes to hair removal......

 I can't handle having body hair. there, I 've said it . The slightest sight of fuzz sends me reaching for my epilator (Of course sometime I have no choice, like bikini waxing for example, you have to let the hair grow in order it wax it) and I have to make sure my legs, under arms and bikini area are hair free at all times. I'm not the most hairy person in the world, but i'm not one of those lucky women who can shave their legs  once a week and can get away with it. I think in today's world, zero body hair is considered the ideal and that's the reason so many of us are obsessed with it. If you look at the older generation of women  (Late 40's to 60's in my opinion) they always seem to be much more at ease with body hair, not minding a little bit of leg fuzz or under arm hair.........So i'm asking, when and why did be become obsessed with being smooth?

 Is it just force of habit or is because I always feel much more sexy when i'm smooth, and I would never even thinking about letting my boyfriend touch me if I had body hair, despite the fact that I feel super comfortable with him  and have been with him for almost 4 years, and to be honest I don't think he would even notice! at the moment i'm shaving all areas because i'm using an at home laser hair removal device that requires you to only shave, and I absolutely hate shaving!

 So, is it just me who is obsessed or is it all of us? are men to blame? or is the constant quest for perfection that is to blame? Do tell!

    hi,
    i think it is like you posted here: "I think in today's world, zero body hair is considered the ideal and that's the reason so many of us are obsessed with it."
    the media tells us (and most of the younger men seem to think) that women are totally hairless from head down.
    doesn´t work for me, if guys want to have a totally hairless girl they should go and buy a barbie ;-)

      I often wonder if young men expect women to be totally hair free, as if we are made that way or something....

      right, at least most of these young men seem to really think we are made that way. well i know some blonde girls that don´t even have to shave their legs cause they have so very few bodyhair that its not even visible. but we should tell these guys that most of us are not made that way... ;-)

    Well I think the perceived beauty of zero body hair is just a cultural thing. I know men in some countries like in Africa actuallu find women with body hair sexier!! As hard as that is for me to understand... But where I live, it is totally disgusting to even have some hair on your arms. I guess we're just women following our cultural expectations

    Women are just into petty shit. Men don't give a fuck.
