My bush is hairy once again.
As I type those words I am overcome with an unusual sensation of modest reticence, as if in alerting y’all to the styling status of my pubic hair I am revealing far too much information.
As if I haven’t already crossed into TMI more times than could even be counted in the three years that I’ve been writing this blog.
But there is something to be said for personal disclosure, isn’t there?
Several months ago, before Dominic and I broke up, I was lying next to him in bed naked, one leg draped sleepily over his two. He ran his right hand gingerly over the top of my mostly shaven pubis and asked me quietly why I’ve removed so much of my hair. I didn’t even have an answer apart from ~ I dunno, I just do.
I like hair there, he said. And so, without much thought and in a tone far too straightforward than such an occasion would warrant, I announced, Okay, I’ll grow it back for you.
Why not? I thought. Why not indeed.
It had been years and years since I’d had a proper bush. When I was much younger I’d kept it neat and tidy and trimmed, and shaved only at the bikini line. But in recent years, I’d taken to sporting either a Brazilian or the gauchely classified, “landing strip.” But as I lie there next to him I wondered what it would be like to be hairy again; and the longer I pondered it, the more the idea of seeing a full head of hair on my mound started to feel … appropriate. Lady-like.
Grown-up, even.
There’s something to be said for feeling grown-up, isn’t there?
And so I went home, determined to stop shaving. It took a few weeks before it grew all the way back, and in that period of time, Dominic and I broke up and I became convinced he’d not have the chance to witness his request. And that was okay. By then I was taking particular delight in watching my mound grow increasingly furry with each passing day. It mattered not what the impetus was, just that it created in me a sense of satisfaction and pleasure. I had intended to grow the entire area out, underside included, but took my razor to that as soon as I felt the first prick of pussy stubble.
It was a little bit owie.
Besides, I like a smooth pussy. Don’t you?
But the rest? The upper mound? That is, now – a couple of months later – a hair-ful of glorious bush. And I love it. I fucking love it. It makes me feel womanly. It makes me feel sexy. It makes me feel … real.
Like a real, sexy, woman.
And there is always something to be said for that.
Isn’t there?
Love this post! I like the shaved look sometimes, but a nice bush is pretty hot too when kept clean! Would have loved to see a pic in this post though! Enjoy the feeling of your bush!
Love love LOVE this post! I’m currently in the process of growing back a proper bush. My partner and I had conversation almost EXACTLY like yours several weeks ago and I did not have an answer as to why I sport a naked vag. I guess I always assumed that all men wanted the hairless look. I totally get what you mean about feeling more grown-up! I feel much more naturally sexy now!
Fantastic post. I couldn’t agree more:

I’ve had the same quandry. As a 1970′s anti-patriarchal/pro-feminist gal I used to never shave anything, no it was au naturale for me. Then about 7 years ago I noticed my underhairs were gray! I wasn’t ready for old lady puss so off they came, I got my pink back. Then I started using strap-ons and the front bush hairs would get caught and hurt, so off they came. Now I just swipe the whole thing clean. Remember the play “HAIR”– it was right on. No hair, lots of hair, it’s all good.
My boyfriend also requested that I grow mine out (although, like you, I like a smooth pussy, which he doesn’t mind), and I agree! Sexy, real, grown up, like a real life woman! I like it too. What does your husband think?
I’m so glad you wrote about this – I’ve been having a bush revolution, too! And I do like it. I also like not having red bumps & itchiness from shaving.
Viva la bush, I say.

Sending your pro-pubic hair love from St. Louis! My man loves bush and so do I!
Yay for real, sexy women.
My trimmed bush looks like a beautiful willow tree.
I like your combination of some hair, but shaved underside (guessing you mean labia etc?). It’s nice to have some hair to run your hands through but shaved lips are so nice to go down on!
Love bush (no pun intended you being from the Lone Star State)
You crack me up, trailblazer!
(I so get that mix of feeling shameful and shameless, and am glad you skirt those edges!)
From time to time the better half and I have shaved and yet we always return to our adult selves. In awe we wonder to each other, “What were we thinking to have ever dragged a razor upon that dear element of our soul?”
Why do you suppose we relate youth and ‘fun’ with ‘bald-innocent-naive’? Is there somewhere an unwritten rule or suggestion that “OLD FOLK” cannot have a blast with LIFE?
Bush lovers unite! Thanks for the comments, y’all!

I sometimes will be too lazy to shave and it will grow out. And to be honest, I hate it! It’s so itchy and wild. I do not have the nice pubic hair that a lot of women do. The ones with pubes that grow in an inward pattern. Mine just grows in all different directions and just looks a mess. Did I mention it itches?
However, that’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a beautiful bush. I just don’t appreciate it on me.
I can honestly say I prefer bush to no bush, both on myself as well as my partner. It’s kind of a odd thing for me to be with a woman who is completely shaved, waxed, etc.
There is just something about a nicely trimmed bush under my fingers. Beautiful! Enjoy it!
I feel the same way. Mine isn’t fully grown out, but I keep it trimmed short. I hate the way being bald looks and feels. It just feels wrong to me. I’m so much more comfortable with my body and feel so much sexier when I have hair down there.
