Aren't you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.
Since we seem to have no activity in this journal, I thought i'd post a question to the group.
Why do men shave their privates? Better yet, why do men shave their privates but leave the rest of their hairintact? Has everyone forgotten how much of a turn on hair is?
Ok, that's three questions, but really, what gives. I've talked to high school girls lately who are insistent their boyfriends cut, trim and shave their pubes!!! It's incredible! Maybe they were just messin with me.

*edit: I also feel like I should add something about my body hair and why I like it. In high school, about three or four years ago, I stopped shaving my leg hair after visiting my cousin, whom I admired, and seeing her in a short skirt with fuzzy legs. It wasn't a huge deal because my leg hair is fairly thin and light, so it's not really obvious. But I loved wearing shorts to school and putting my legs up on my desk, daring people to ask questions. I would get reactions sometimes, and it made me laugh because people were so shocked, but it didn't seem like a big deal to me. I got razor burn. It took a long time in the shower. I just didn't like doing it, so I stopped. Pretty simple. It was the same reason I stopped wearing make-up all the time. High school kids just don't get it very well. If I don't want to do it, I'm entitled not to. My legs remained fuzzy, and I loved them. I still felt like shaving my armpits was mandatory, even though the razor burn there was even worse, and it hurt, and I hated it even more than shaving my legs. People would always talk about armpit hair like it was a question on hygiene, and I still wanted to be clean. Then I dated a person who would torment me every day about my leg hair. He'd say "shave your legs" and I'd tell him no. Then when I'd say that it hurt that he kept asking me, and telling me he didn't like it, he'd say he was only joking. But it really wore on me, and I hated not feeling confident with myself. Soon I broke up with him, and in protest I stopped shaving under my arms...and I loved it! I felt right and natural and so much more confident. I was a little weary of wearing tank tops, but I quickly got over it. Now I am with someone who really appreciates it, as well. :) I still get questions and stares, but I just find it sad that something so natural and normal as body hair is so odd and wrong to most people.
My best friend is in town, and he came over last night. While we were lounging on my bed listing to music and catching up, he started to rub my leg for a minute, then lifted up my arm to see my underarm hair(which i told him when i recently* shaved it off and hated it), then looked down my skirt at my pubes(which i recently* shaved off too, just for trying it's sake. He looked back up at me and god a big smile on his face and just said "yeah, thats nice."
*Recently: within the past 4 months.
it was cute. he used to dislike, or was unsure about my bodyhair.
so.. saturday night i shaved my legs for my husband. i didnt like it at all. now they feel all smooth & slimy & silky. & unnatural. & i think it feels gross. thats all. & im sad.
