Ladies : Pubic Hair as a gift of remembrance or affection.

Out of curiosity I have read that in Victorian times pubic hair would be given to men from their lovers as a sign of remembrance or affection. Guys would then have the sample of pubic hair attached to their hats and wear it with pride.

Have any ladies here ever given a lock, to two, of their pubic hair to a partner for something similar? If not would you ever consider doing so, obviously you ladies who shave completely would have to grow some back but maybe an attractive way to entice a new shave.

^^ If true, that is hilarious 😄, and I like lol

I can honestly say I have not. If I were asked and it was a meaningful relationship I would have no problem with it. I might think it a little odd but whatever floats your boat.

Eric Cartman could have maybe made a nice profit after all, in such a time and place.

Would explain why it was considered rude behavior for men to wear hats at the dinner table.

I have not either. My husband has never asked me for it and I do not know where he would keep it, it would be very odd to think about him wearing it.

... I do not know where he would keep it...

Perhaps a tiny ribbon tied around a clipped curl, placed into a cellophane baggie and tucked into a scrapbook or chest of cherished mementos?

To add further to those who might doubt the authenticity of this. King George IV had a lock of pubic hair from one of his mistresses in a small snuff box that is in the St. Andrews University of Scotland Museum. Apparently in those times it was accepted widely as a sign of fidelity; promise and sexual desire.

I must hold my hand up and admit that the first time I shaved my wife pubic hair we both decided to keep it in a small metal box that she has to this day in the bedroom chest of drawers 😉.

To me it is quite a quaint idea, but not to certain about having it attached to my chapeaux.

Perfect. A small, ornate sterling silver snuff box would be the PERFECT container for such a prize, that's what I would want to put my gift from the right lady into. Seriously lol.

I do not doubt the authenticity of the practice, it does tickle and intrigue me nonetheless.

Honestly, I wish that I had something like that from my wife before she had passed away.

I hadn’t known of this before, but I’m not very surprised. I know that people’s hair was kept, as a remembrance, in previous centuries. In my college days, I worked a couple summers in a historic museum where they had a hair-wreathe, which kept dozens of locks of hair from family members, spanning generations. The wreath was kept in a glass case, which seemed designed just for this wreath, and it hung on a wall. They kept doing this until probably sometime in the early 20th century. We were told this was fairly common in those days.

I don’t know why I never though of this being done with public hair, between lovers. I have seen, in literature, when a woman gave a man a lock of her hair, as a sign of affection. Just don’t remember it ever being implied that this might have involved a more erotic meaning.

When you think about it there is something quite appealing to doing this, a really special memory to lady that held a very special place in ones life. There could be nothing more intimate from that person to be held for evermore.

On a slightly different note my memory tells me that there was a film some years ago where the womanising male lead collected the pubic hair from all of his conquests; possibly I have imagined this or got it mixed up with something else.
