How Did We Get Normalized to the Bald Pussy?
Smooth, pretty and delicious to lick, kiss and taste — with no hairs to contend with — the bald pussy may be here to stay.
Confession: I find the bald pussy so sexy. Bald pussies are a delight to look at, lick, taste and generously pleasure. Women know this, too. That’s probably why a huge percentage of females— perhaps 80% or more — go bald down there or come close as fuck to it.
Not to say I don’t appreciate a nice landing strip. The landing strip is sexy, but it falls short of the bold statement a woman makes when she’s bare down there.
With a notable exception here and there, every single woman my wife Lauren and I have been with over the years through our lifestyle as polyamorists and swingers has shaved her pussy bald.
Having no hair down there isn’t just cosmetic; as Lauren says, it’s also more comfortable. “No snagging” when she’s on her Peloton or outdoor bike. Across the board, she, too, is a fan of the bald pussy.
For people in our lifestyle, the bald pussy is sexy, yes, but it also has some practical benefits. No hair means easy cum-shot cleanup, which can be a nice thing when the night may bring multiple sex partners. Plus, lots of oral sex benefits (more on those below).
But here’s the thing; not until about 2000 was the bald pussy a big thing. What happened to get us to this place?
When Lauren and I started dating in 1997, she sported an almost full blonde bush, including hair around her labia. She shaved it only enough for bikini line purposes.
In those years, the full bush was the norm. The women I’d slept with before Lauren (during the years 1989–1997) all had full bushes. The only grooming happening was to the bikini line. I remember being a kid at a summer camp and seeing one of my camp counselors with pubes sticking out of her swim suit. At the time, I didn’t know whether to be grossed by it, or to go jack off. Anyway, in those years, it was the same with me with my package—no grooming at all.
In the full bush years, when I ate Lauren’s pussy (and it was the same way with women before her), I typically got hairs in my mouth, which really detracted from what should have otherwise been an enjoyable experience for her and me. The prime culprit was the hair around her labia, which would get wet and nasty and wind up in my mouth. Eating pussy in those years was more duty than pleasure. Today, it’s all pleasure.
To be fair, Lauren also had to contend with hairs when she blew me. In those years, I didn’t shave my shaft or my balls or keep my bush trimmed short. When she blew me and/or licked and sucked on my balls, she, too, got hairs in her mouth and had to stop to pull them out.
This was what oral sex was like in the full bush years. Oral sex then paled in comparison to what it is now.
In 1998, Lauren and I encountered an early adopter of more extensive pussy grooming. Her name was Allison and she and Lauren, both bisexual women, had previously had a romantic relationship. Allison became our first polyamorous girlfriend.
Allison sported a well-trimmed landing strip and shaved around her labia. Her pussy was beautiful to look at and a delight to lick and taste. No hairs in my mouth or in Lauren’s mouth. Yum!
Soon after the polyamory with Allison started, Lauren got inspired and adopted the landing strip look, which included trimming her bush and shaving around her labia like Allison did.
This was a game-changer for both Allison and me as her lovers. Lauren’s pussy was now a treat to eat — no more hairs. Plus, the landing strip was sexy! Over time, Lauren got more ambitious with her razor and scissors, eventually working down to a very narrow, highly groomed strip of hair that almost looked to be there as a formality.
In those years, I was the luckiest guy on the planet; I was having sex almost daily with two beautiful women and getting some sizzling-hot pussy.
And it only got better.
In 2000 or 2001 (can’t be sure), Lauren, like millions of women, took a bold step that I didn’t see coming at the time. One night, as we were about to have sex, I pulled off her panties to discover the surprise of all surprises. She had taken it ALL off — all the hair. Her pussy was 100% bald and smooth as silk.
To this day, seeing and touching Lauren’s bald pussy for the first time is among the most erotic experiences of my life. It seemed so naughty, so slutty and even taboo.
“Why did you do that?” I asked, fingering her bald twat that night.
“Sorry you don’t like it,” she answered meekly.
“I love it! So naughty, so bad, so pretty…so sexy,” I explained.
“That’s why I did it,” she whispered seductively. “Plus, it’s just more comfortable.”
Soon after, Allison went all bare (Allison has since returned to the landing strip look).
So, it’s a good question. What compelled so many women in the late 1990s into the early 2000s to take it all off? In those years, Lauren says she started to see in her gym locker room fewer women with landing strips and full bushes and more with bald pussies, which inspired and turned her on. Plus, some of her friends were chatting about going bald. “There was just a lot of buzz about it,” she recalls.
Her decision to go bald didn’t come out of the blue; she hopped on what was then a building trend that is now practically the norm. Where did the influence to go bald come from? A few factors:
- “Sex and The City”: The famous Sex and the City episode about the Brazilian, aired Sept. 17, 2000, definitely influenced Lauren, Allison and a lot of women to take it all off.
- Porn: Consider the rise of not just the bald pussy but also the facial cumshot, both of which porn helped fuel. Interestingly, in the famous porn film, “Deep Throat” (1972), one of the main characters has her pussy shaved bare — a unique look in those full-bush years.
- Oral sex benefits: As a bisexual woman, Lauren says she appreciates not having any hairs to contend with when having sex with another woman. “If I’m between her legs, I want to enjoy her and not come up with pubes in my teeth and in my mouth. No, thanks,” she quips.
- Sexiness: Lauren says she took it all off that first time in 2000/2001 because she thought it would make her feel sexier (it did and still does) and please me (it did and still does).
- Comfort: See above note about no snags.
Plus, it’s wasy! “Keeping it all shaved is way easier than maintaining a landing strip or bikini line,” Lauren says. “I can shave the whole area, including around my labia, in under two minutes easy with a sharp razor and some shaving cream.” And I have watched her do that!
Does she get her pussy waxed? “No — too painful and I don’t have time for that. Regular shaving allows for a nice, smooth vagina,” she explains.
For my part, in the early 2000s I took up shaving my balls and shaft bare and closely trimming and shaping my bush, which pleases Lauren. Simply put, it makes my entire package nicer to look at and more pleasant to play with.
These days, if Lauren and I are about to have sex with a new couple, it’s practically a given that the wife is bald down there and the husband, too, is heavily groomed. We rarely ever see a landing strip. If we do, it’s a very faint, super closely-trimmed landing strip. We’re in an age of bald pussies and shaved cocks and balls.
Lauren has never gone back and says it’s staying that way. I feel the same way about my own grooming.
Going bald down there is not very much the norm. Lauren’s handful of OB-GYN friends all report that basically every woman they see, including girls, is bald or close to it. Hell, the doctor Lauren and I both see shaves her pussy bare. All of the moms we swing with also report their daughters are bald down there, too; they know this because they see the razors their daughters are using — and some have talked with their daughters about it.
Whether or not girls should adopt the practice is debatable, but Lauren and I both tend to think it’s a practice more appropriate for women, not teenage girls. But kids, for better or worse, tend to model us adults, don’t they?
My final point, which I touched on above: It’s not just women who are going bald down there. Every guy we swing with heavily grooms. None go bald; bald packages, unlike bald pussies, are kind of gross. But all guys we swing with, myself included, shave their shaft and balls bare and trim and shape their bush.
In recent years, I’ve gotten more aggressive in trimming and shaping my bush. I now use the lowest possible clipper guard. If my shaft and balls are bare, that’s going to make giving me a deep blowjob much more enjoyable for Lauren and other women.
And, oh by the way, Lauren is known as a generous cock sucker. She likes to suck cock. But would she ever again suck an ungroomed cock? Her response. “Maybe, but probably not.” Would she ever again eat an ungroomed pussy? “Not ideally,” is her answer.
And will I ever again eat a full-bush pussy and contend with stray hairs? I recently did that…and never again.
