Full-on pube patches might not be as popular as they were in past decades, but there are still plenty of guys who prefer a bearded clam over a clean-shaven snatch. Join us as we take a whack at the topic.
Look at vintage erotica, and you will very likely notice one big difference from the porn of today—big, bushy beavers! The ladies of the past rocked fully bearded clams while many women today both onscreen and off prefer to trim or shave.
A recent study found that American women are increasingly grooming their pussies for cosmetic reasons, and even men are manscaping their intimate areas. But while hairless may be the look du jour, there are some people who like the wild pubic jungles of decades ago.
“When I watch nostalgic porn from the ’70s and ’80s, there is just this sense of realism and acceptance of one’s natural self,” writer and actor Jimmy Dee, 35, tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “It also adds a sense of maturity. Whether it be in someone’s mind or the actual appearance of hair, it convinces us that, yes, that person has gone through puberty.”
Comedian Phil Moya, 30, says that he likes lots of pubic hair because it’s “different.” He elaborates that he believes shaved genitals are a sign that the person had prepared for a “smash,” while hairy parts show that a woman is less laser-focused on having her taco tasted.
