My Girls and I

I am in a womens group. These are mostly a group of good women who talk about anything and everything. Some are married, some divorced, some widowed and some are single. We always seem to find many subjects to debate. Most times our discussions have us on the floor laughing our asses off. Tonight was one example of it.

One woman brought up the subject of women shaving and not our underarms. I was late getting on the group so I read through the opinions that were posted. I chuckled at a few of them. They were being so “proper” with their wordings. Others, not so much and I think that made me chuckle the most.

As I continued to read the replies, I started to place my hands on my keyboard then I pulled back. I really had to think whether to say something or not. Some said it was gross. I went to place my hands on my keyboard and pulled them back again. I never have been one to hold back when my opinion is asked but it came across to me that a lot of these women……perhaps were not as open as I.

Before I went to live in England, I lived in the country on a quiet road. Yes, there was traffic but mostly early mornings, nights and weekends. I used to have 6 acres, One acre to mow and the rest were wooded but my home was in full view from the road even with being off the road for a ways. I had a big veggie garden and gardened in the nude. One could hear if a vehicle was coming. I kept a man’s cotton shirt handy, just in case. I did not have one inch of my skin that was not tanned. And even clothed, I worked outside on my property. In the UK, where everything was paved, I continued to get browner when the sun was out so I was pretty dark. It was only after being here for a few years and not being out in the sun that my tan faded.

I waited and waited, reading more replies. I placed my hands again on my keyboard and gave them my opinion. I wrote that I had shaved since 1st – I was an older teen wearing a bikini. I had stopped for a while but when preparing for child birth, the nurses shaved women before birth. Once the stitches had cleared up, I started shaving again and the number 2 reason was it made sex better. I also had to inject some humor so I then told them number 3 was that at least I had no clinkers. I had to admit that I stopped shaving a while ago because of feeling “Why bother.” A lot of them in their 60’s said they did not have any hair down there anymore. I told them I did but kept it trimmed so not to have any clinkers. When I could stop laughing I had to tell them what shaving all the time could cause. That shaving constantly can give one skin irritations, skin infections, ingrown hairs and even bacterial or viral infections.

The replies were numerous. Hell one even had it lasered off; Then there was one that started in about Islam rules about this which required plucking all the hairs. It gave us all reasons to have a good laugh. Well, most of us. There were also ones who thought what we were talking about was gross and dirty. We all have voices and the freedom to say what we feel without repercussions.

I noticed when one woman mentioned it made it better for oral sex, everyone went quiet after that. No one liked her post, but I did. Oral sex is for the ones who enjoy receiving or giving it but seeing the ones who have backed off any conversation would tell me that either they feel that is their own private business, which I do agree or some think it’s dirty. Either or, I am wondering what our next topic of conversation will be.
