Ladies: In what pattern did your pubic hair develop?

@roscoe

I had not seen shaved female genitals until one day in the early 1970's I was looking for some tools in my dad's tool shed when I came upon a hidden copy of the UK naturist magazine "Health & Efficiency" (my dad was not a naturist). I opened the pages one by one and suddenly there in front of me were some full page pictures of a young lady on a garden swing and with no pubic hair at all.

The photos were in monochrome and were very clear and distinct, showing the slightly parted labia. She was a light blonde and well developed and I could not get over the sight of that smooth hairless pussy. I inherited the magazine, by accident after my dad passed away, and kept it for years until my wife burnt many of my collection (quite small) before we moved to France.

As a young man I remember seeing pictures of women in panties/bikini bottoms that were thin in material and the sight of the "triangle" beneath was such a turn on back then. I also used to scour the catalogues in the lingerie section hoping to see a trace of pubic hair, little did I know back then that the ladies like yourself had to shave all of the pubic hair. My quest was in vain.

Oh no @Doctor_Jack, my mum did some lingerie modelling too when she was 18 and 19 and I saw her work. Some of her pics and ones of other models showed dark triangles through, it just depended on what they were wearing really how much showed. It was in the middle of the 1980s and she said girls just had pubic hair, it was normal and nobody said things about shaving, it was just bikini line. Maybe you were just a bit unlucky if you did not see any at all. When I started, it was 2005 when I was 18 and it was a fashion for girls to just shave everything, and the agency I was with did not like girls modelling lingerie and having pubic hair so I got pressured a bit. I cheated though and I got my husband to just shave me at the front and not the back as well. 😁 It was easier though when I modelled swimwear, bikinis and swimsuits because those were not see through so I could just be natural. It was better when I went to do just glamour work because I could be how I wanted with nobody saying anything about maybe seeing my dark stripe/triangle through white lingerie and I think I have had photographers like it really because it is a bit different.

Talking about modeling, did anyone here see the Sears catalog with the guy in underwear with his dick head sticking out? It was only in the one that was mailed to you. They reprinted the rest of them.

Of course my wife threw it out because that was "dirty" and we shouldn't have it in the house.

Seconding what @Amethyst mum said. I did some modeling 78 to 81 and it included underwear. We had bushes, we trimmed so it didn’t hang out but sometimes there was a bulge and sometimes it showed as a shadow.

Also, forgot to add: Those modeling shoots? Sometimes some pubes did sneak out of your leg opening depending on the cut of what you were modeling and the pose. They’d remove them in post production. The higher quality the catalog the better the post production

Well that just about sums up my luck. I am a pretty meticulous kind of guy and research and detailed investigation are some of my stronger points and I can never remember seeing anything remotely like a trace of bush in those lingerie adverts. My mum was an agent for several mail order catalogues from the late 1960's through to the early 1980's, and believe me I looked so hard. Not doubting what you say for one minute here, just expressing my bad luck.

Agreed a photographer would have liked the look of dark pubic hair showing through light coloured swim wear and the like, I have seen some incredibly erotic images like that, also outstanding in monochrome a well. I say this as a former professional photographer myself, not glamour though. Some images I would like to take are of a lady like that and dressed in open shirt (mens type) with white panties sat in an open window of an old derelict building, with the light from outside highlighting her hair and silhouette.

Ah! The dreaded air brushing.

In the UK the "Top Shelf" Mens magazines all had to have the pubic hair added to so as to hide any trace of genitalia. It made the girls look far more hairy than they really were and most young guys actually thought girls were all like that.

I started noticing "peach fuzz" around my labia when I was about 11 and it started to thicken and get a little longer the older I got. When I turned 15 things really started to change and my pubic hair started to curl and was a lot thicker especially around my lips and it was a nice inverted triangle. I would have to trim or shave around the edges if I was wearing a swimming suit or when I was a cheerleader.

Over the years I've sometimes shaved completely bald or trimmed it down. A couple of years ago when my husband and I started to really explore I would shave different designs, "V" shaped, the "landing strip", a heart, an "arrow", and even tried the Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs, and the Ace of Diamonds. My husband called those my "card tricks" but they didn't come out that great. We haven't done that in a while and I think the "V" was our last try at what Meat Monster calls, "Twat Topiary". But he really likes the full inverted triangle and we both love watching him disappear into the bush. ?

@Dahiana

Wonderful explanation and just love the card suite.

Could I enquire as to what colouring your hair is?

My wife and I tried all sorts of shapes as well, I even tried the ZZ Top Eliminator Flash design, that was fun.

I'm a "honey blonde" with the "roots" just a shade darker than the outer bit. Because it is nice and curly my husband says that it sometimes looks like sugar and cinnamon crumb cake coating. He likes licking the pan on that one. ?

... He likes licking the pan on that one. ?

I trust you lick his spatula too, @Dahiana ?

I trust you lick his spatula too, @Dahiana ?

Oh, I don't just "lick" his spatula. Nooo. I use it to stir things up and keep on stirring and bring it to a boil. Handle and all. ?

@Dahiana

I bet it looks beautiful with the sunlight highlighting those blonde curls.

As I am in my Pre Raphaelite mood this morning I would like to add to my comment below.

Golden blonde pubic hair touched by sunlight is like early morning sunshine cascading across a field of summertime barley.

Mysteriously I just developed a yearning for barley soup.
