Jezebel: Pubic Hair

What Guys Think About the Hair Down There

Anna North — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:10:00 EST

Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions! This week, we asked, (again by reader request — keep 'em coming, readers!) "What do you expect to see, pubic-hair-wise, when the pants come off? And what are your reactions to your partners' choice? Completely shaven? Landing strip? Trimmed? Au naturel? Do you have a preference?" Below, guys share their pubic preferences: More »

Is Pubic Hair Coming Back Into Fashion? [NSFW]

Jenna Sauers — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST

New pictures of Dutch model Saskia De Brauw in vintage Versace jewelry, stilettos, and nothing else, shot for the magazine Industrie are notable for one thing: they actually show her pubic hair. While toplessness is practically a staple of fashion photography, a frank depiction of pubic hair — or even just the acknowledgement of pubic hair's existence — had become a sort of oughts-age taboo.

Christian Bale's Mom Hit Him Up For Money

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:00:00 EDT

Christian Bale's "assault" against his mother is part of a long-simmering feud. Apparently Christian's been estranged from his mother and sister, Jenny and Sharon Bale, since he sided with his father when his parents divorced in the early '90s. Christian "reluctantly" agreed to meet with them at his London hotel right before the premiere of The Dark Knight but soon realized they were there to hit him up for money. An argument ensued; Christian demanded they leave his suite and allegedly pushed his mother out of the door. Snubbed, his mother went and told her "assault" story; she's trying to sell it to media outlets as well. [Chicago Sun Times]
Christian Bale singed autographs and posed for photos at the Madrid premiere of Dark Knight last night but did not speak to reporters, duh. By the by, he has not been formally charged with anything. [People]
Christian's relationship with his wife? Solid. [E!]
P.S.: Aaron Eckhart has agreed to be in a third Batman film. [ONTD]

Ingrown Pubes, Yeast Infections: Reality TV Contestant Keeps It Really Real

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:30:00 EDT

This clip is kinda old, as it's from the 2005 season of Big Brother Australia. But after an Australian reader pointed it out to us, we couldn't resist posting it. It features the contestants hanging out in their bedroom, where Vesna, one of the women in the house, discovers she has an ingrown pubic hair and wants help digging it out. She also mentions that she believes she has thrush (a yeast infection) and asks everyone if they can smell it. Her male roommate is totally disgusted, and says so, repeatedly referring to her vagina as her "buhgah" (Australian for "burger"). But Vesna doesn't care, and her in-your-face-ness about the whole thing is kinda awesome. More »

How Do You Care For the Hair Down There?

Megan Carpentier — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:30:00 EDT

With summer already here, some of us are heading for a change in pubic hair maintenance procedures, bringing on yet another existential crisis — do we do it for men, for ourselves or, like so much other fashion, for other women? I survey the other Jezebel editors, my (straight) guy friends unlucky enough to be logged on when it occurred to me to ask and put in a plug for an ex with a preference and a steady hand after the jump.

How The Brazilian Explains The World

Moe — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:45:00 EDT

The May Cosmo is here! And it wouldn't be a Cosmo "Sexy Issue" if it didn't come equipped with a scintillating (or something-ating!) think piece on the numerous societal implications of the mass-acceptance of Brazilian waxing. No really! It's on page 233, but I'll summarize: Men of a certain age now expect you to be bald, no more hiding those genital warts either, genital plastic surgery is up 30%...actually, the thing is too awesome not to scan. Click the pic for my three personal favorite excerpts. More »

Cycle 10 of ANTM premieres this Wednesday, but we were able to get a sneak peak at the first episode, and assemble a little clip in honor of it. (Don't worry, there aren't any spoilers; all the girls who make it from the casting special have already been announced, as per usual.) It looks like there's a really reality TV-ready batch of contestants this time around: One of them drinks her own breast milk, one of them offers to show the others her pubic hair, and all of them are wild, shrilly banshees screaming their heads off, which actually mirrors our own excitement over the fact that one of the best shows on television is back.

Fun fact those of you who embrace the retrobush:...

Jessica — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:45:00 EST

Fun fact those of you who embrace the retrobush: pubic hairs are naturally curly because of sex hormones. The hormones cause the follicles to turn oval-shaped, and oval follicles grow curly hairs. "The purpose of curly kinky pubic hairs remains a mystery to scientists, however," notes Live Science. We're scientists and we believe the purpose of pubes is to protect your junk.

How A Barack Obama-Less Tyra Banks Broke My Heart

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 14:00:00 EDT

Yesterday I got to realize one of my dreams: I sat in the studio audience for a taping of Tyra. Jezebels Moe, Jennifer and I thought we were attending TyTy's big deal Barack Obama interview, but when we got there, we learned that the Obama show had been shot earlier in the morning. [Ugh. -Ed.] So what was the topic of our show? Vaginas! Moe was sort of devastated that we'd missed out on Tyra's interaction with our possible future president (you just know she talked about Spanx and weaves with him), but I actually couldn't be happier. Genitals are my beat. When the production assistants told us the show's title — "What's Up Down There: The Vagina Dialogues" — I immediately turned to Jennifer and was like, "I really hope we find out Tyra's pubic hair situation today." You'll be happy to hear that we totally did! More »

Is Pubic Hair Making A Comeback?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:45:00 EDT

After naked pictures of Vanessa Minnillo and High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens surfaced, we noticed the two girls have something in common besides their first names: Pubes! We must say that we found it refreshing to see celebrity vaginas that aren't bald. Could it be that hairless pussies are going out of style? We figured that the litmus test is porno, since it's both a reflection of and influence on current sex trends. So we consulted our go-to pro on the matter: Pornographer and Burning Angel Co-CEO Mitch Fontaine. After the jump, check out our not-so-enlightening IM convo. More »

'Harry Potter' Actress Emma Watson Not Afraid To Use The 'F-Word'

Anna Holmes — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 15:10:55 EDT

My how they've grown! First Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe spoke out about his er, happy trail, and now his costar Emma Watson (Hermoine) is going off on what it's like to be a girl. According to People, Emma thinks some of her sisters in starlet-dom are playing clueless. "There are too many stupid girls in the media. Hermione's not scared to be clever. I think sometimes really smart girls dumb themselves down a bit, and that's bad." Does this girl know how to preach it or what? Oh, and there's more:

For her own part, Watson, likening herself to certain aspects of Hermione, says, 'I'm a bit of a feminist. I'm very competitive and challenging.'
