I don't do anything with my pubic hair despite swimming, and now I'm wondering if I should. Hmm.
Heh, I'd been thinking about a poll on that very subject. I can't decide whetherhaving pubes on show is a strike against the patriarchy, or whether it looks too much like "hello, here is my CUNT!" which is the last thing you want people in a swimming pool to be thinking when they look at you. Swimming pools are all about de-emphasising the sexual, hence the fluorescent lighting.
Thing is, I LOATHE the cultural norm that says that you shave off as much pubic hair as possible, and then wear the skinniest, highest legged bathing suit ever, in a kind of simultaneous sexy/de-sexed look. The answer is clearly low-legged bathing costumes. I've got a bikini with shorts with covers all recalcitrant hair, but my swimming costume proper lets the world know that I am a true redhead. Dilemma!
