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?

  • For me, its unsightly and just doesn’t look as aesthetic as bare skin

  • Most women shave down there now days but when I see a woman with bush I'm excited because I find it a turn on

  • I’m not

  • The major reason is that it gets in the way of oral sex.

  • Looks diffrent and it is kind of gross on a female

    • What do you find gross about it? Just curious! c:

  • Why are people so grossed out by body hair?

    I dont want to choke on a pube

  • simply put because they are stupid. My favourite answer from women as to why they remove all their hair is it’s cleaner. That there shows how stupid they are. I fully think pubic hair looks much better. Hey if you want to remove your hair go for it. But don’t make up stupid reasons for doing it.

    • I agree

  • It's nicer to see women with great skin be so hairless to show-off said skin. The hair detracts.

  • I like smooth skin on a woman, feels nice

  • Because it's nasty

  • Let it grow

  • It's a turn off.

  • Only natural at end of day we all have it I'm hairy down below and aren't ashamed of it

    • what colours your pubic hair mines black

  • Wel, picking Bush out of your teeth isn't really that much fun😬

    • LMAO 😝

  • Hairless or bust.

    • Hairless: Will Bust 🤣

  • It is only gross if you don't bathe regularly.

  • Because it smells like sweat.

  • time to grow up and show some basic grooming. Pussy needs to be shaven or at least trimmed short

    • Doesn't NEED to be anyway haha but thank you for sharing your preference 😆

    • you are welcome

  • Just saying it's natural is not justification though. I mean, halitosis is natural, which is why we brush out teeth. I think it's just part of the ideal of femininity. Right or wrong, hairy legs, armpits and snooch are just considered unfeminine. I can't give you any better reason than that for why I find it gross, but I do.

  • I’m not grossed out by it especially hair down there but I think the only hair that grosses me out is women’s armpit hair

    • I agree with that! I'm not a fan of any armpit hair 😆
