Firstly i appologise for putting this question to you all , but it has been bugging me for weeks . I simply must know the answer .
Whilst watching the box , i have noticed a high portion of adverts for impliments (of torture) that remove the hair from womens legs . I also noticed that they only ever do the lower leg . Does this mean there is a lot of women with hairy thighs ?

And you a married man too!
I think it's two things; firstly the lower legs are more often on show and secondly the thighs generally aren't that hairy anyway......well on women....I've just checked my husband's.....he's beginning to wonder about this site
Seriously, leg waxing or sugaring is done on lower or upper leg or both and charged as such. Some women shave entire legs, some only do to the knee, depilatory creams are clearly labelled *avoid sensitive skin* and lets just not go there with the silkymits shall we?
Mostly, if it's on show, i.e. shorts, swimsuit, women remove the hair.
There's a whole other set of cultural and social issues that could be raised here (okay, I sat through a lecture on the Infantisation of the Fantasy of Femininity, recently
) basically hairlessness = child, so why are adult females colluding with the promotion of the girl child as a sexually desireable object?
Hair removal has a very long history among humans, my menfolk are sort of hairily defined (chests and so on) and I personally like it, it's adult male to me, but I notice the recent trend towards waxed chests for men......here we go....new forum......Natural bushcraft waxing techniques
Great silliness is upon us...I'm going for mug of hot chocolate and a mince pie
