    World of Bushcraft

    It's a weird one, though. Pube-shaving seems to be a recent phenomenon, certainly long after my heyday. I find it a bit odd, but obviously it's a matter of preference and fashion. Bald down below seems a bit strange and unsettling to me, but then again I've got a big fat shaved face. Is it the other way around these days? Massive beards and shaved cock 'n' balls?

    It's Victor Kiam I feel sorry for.

      Porn used to have pubic hair. Are you saying there's an evolving theory behind it? I just assumed that porn tracks the fashion of the day.
      Yes I think it does/has evolved at least in the forty years or so since it went mainstream. In storytelling terms, for example, it's become more reductive, down from feature length to clips lasting a few minutes. That's, in part, due to the growth of home consumption and the internet. Producers are more in touch with what customers want, ie: minimal story, no extraneous detail. Porn is all about body parts not people. So, yes I think, the industry sets fashion these days, at least as much as it tracks it.

        Hold on, the mystery of pubic hair is that it doesn't grow ridiculously long otherwise it would look like a Jimi Hendrix Experience gig down there.

          True.

            That makes sense to me.

            Alongside the industry, we also have people on the net swapping stories and pictures, and the unfortunate side of this is that there's a lot of bodyshaming and comparing going on. It's on a different scale to a group of schoolboys looking through a porn mag together and saying (pretending?) that they find this or that woman unattractive.

            I dunno, in some ways we gals had it worse in the 70s, with all the dirty old gropers, but at least young boys were generally grateful for whatever they were given and didn't complain. There was no danger that your ex would be critiquing your genitalia with people all over the world.

              In a sense sure, particularly since any pretense of story has virtually disappeared. It's not incidental to the evolution of the form though, which has become one where nothing is hidden and everything is shown in as detailed and clinical way as possible. Hair is a nuisance, whether on the head ("blow job hair" is short enough to not get in the way of the camera or cover the penis.) Or on genitals where it interferes with the filming of tongue and vagina. In this respect modern porn is very similar to medical photography, employing techniques that are used in filming surgical procedures. Everything extraneous to purpose must be gone.

                That's right. Mystery — if not mystification — is what most of us (I think... or hope) want in a sensual relationship, and what porn has stripped away.

                  Interesting resurrection of this topic.
