Why are people so grossed out by body hair?

I saw this question earlier asking about a natural bush on a woman and the responses kinda suprised me. A LOT of the women were saying "ewww" and saying its gross, a few men were saying similar things but I noticed it was mostly women. I never understood why people find body hair gross, personally I kinda like hair. I shave it or trim it just cause it makes wearing bikini bottoms easier or if a guy I'm with prefers it, but I don't consider the hair "yuck and gross." And I actually think pubic hair looks more womanly than bare. I think having a preference is PERFECTLY ok, but I never understood the "eww hair is gross" thing.
Even when I was younger and had just started growing leg hair I had girls in my class and friends look at my legs and tell me how gross it was, so I took my moms razor and shaved it. Why are people so against something so natural?

  • I have mine natural

  • I like it, too, and am not at all against it.

  • women always had a tendency of associating body hair with poor hygiene. I think most men hold the same attitude because they think that holding the same mentality as women is gonna get them the pussy point they are starving after

  • Social standards, I guess. We are used to see females with perfect bare legs, so that's what we think it's pretty.
    I personally don't care, but I still do it if someone will see my legs, and I also keep it trimmed down there for comfort.

  • I love body hair too 😂
    I wouldn't mind if my girlfriend had armpit hair tbh. I wouldn't mind if she didn't shave her legs either. As long as she trims every once in a while
    Also when it comes to private area BUSH 2020 😂❤
    I hate the beauty standard that makes everyone hairless it's weird.

  • cause i generally don't like hair in my mouth.

    • If that's your eyeball you have a pretty eyeball 👁 hehe

    • yup that are my generic eyeballs xD thanks. you yourself have a nice pussy there. the kind i actually prefer hair on :D

    • Why thank you 🥰🥰 he appreciates it

  • Uh herpes, or sneezing, or zits, or urination are all "natural" too; just because something is "natural" doesn't mean it's good or attractive.

  • I’m not, I like some hair down there.

  • I don't get it either

  • I like full bush

  • I'm not into body hair, I don't have any. But it's up to her if she wants to match me...

  • Agree that it is preference, but I’ve heard it’s Unhygienic to have hair at privates?

    • I've always heard people say that but a quick Google search ( i did it before asking this question! c:) shows that is not really a point of concern as long as you shower and wash. "But pubic hair isn't actually unhygienic. Like other hair on your body, your pubes trap sweat, oil, and bacteria. So, they might have a slightly stronger odor than other areas of your body. As long as you wash regularly, this shouldn't be cause for concern."

    • Thanks for the information. Then again, back in the day nobody shaved... So I believe it. Then there's no reason to find it gross. ✌️

  • I don't think it's gross, i just don't like hair in my food. 😎

  • I totally agree with you but the opinions are different and mostly can't accept that and we can't change their minds...

  • Because some people find body hair very unattractive

  • I actually prefer bushes personally and I don't find body hair disgusting. That said, if a woman has chest hair or dense belly hair, it will look off in my opinion, not disgusting, just off.

  • I don't like hair on her vajayjay or her mouth, other than that, if she chooses to shave the rest of her body, that's up to her. but i dont like those two places having hair

  • Only Pedophiles think body hair is gross. They like everyone to be prepubescent.

  • On a woman? No thank you. Why? Because we've been raised in a society where body hair is gross (specifically on a woman) but some women also find body hair unattractive.

  • Not grossed out by it, just a preference... Trimmed isn’t bad, but bald is beautiful...
