Ok this post may fall into the TMI category to some people but you all know how I enjoy passing on observations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A thousand years ago when I was first single, I met a man who wanted to shave me “down there”.\u00a0 So as a lark I said sure.\u00a0 It was interesting for about a day and then it began to grow back. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

OMG\u00a0 it was like I had a disease!\u00a0 It itched soooooo much and I spent a lot of time quietly trying NOT to scratch the agony!\u00a0 I swore I’d never do that again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, when I began dating again there were many questions about the level of personal grooming I did.\u00a0 I proudly stated that I trim but don’t shave and related that story.\u00a0 And that was fine until I met a man who was very urgent in his desire to shave me.\u00a0 So I let him.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And liked it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I like the way the smooth skin felt.\u00a0 And it didn’t itch anywhere near as bad as that first time when it began to grow back.\u00a0 So I’ve maintained it.\u00a0 At least most of it.\u00a0 Because its the top part that itches when it grow back, so THAT part I keep trimmed.\u00a0 The rest I keep pretty shaved.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And this has led to an interesting observation.\u00a0 I think I’ve discovered WHY women have pubic hair.\u00a0 Beyond the fact that it allows us to use pheromones to signal the opposite sex, it does ONE other thing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It gives our pee a direction! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Without it, the pee juuuuust kinda goes willy nilly a little.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wheeeee.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This does NOT stop me from shaving.\u00a0 Cuz I’d rather use a little\u00a0 more TP to clean up than deal with the hassle of accidentally pulling a pubic hair when I’m trying to remove a tampon!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Its all about the trade-off’s people!
