Going back over old sculptures and texts ....
In Greece, a boy or adolescent was considered very sexually desirable
to adult men UNTIL bush started to happen .... so bushlessness as an
indicator of the beautiful submissive no matter what gender at that
period.
During the 12th century in Bagdhad, Lesbians refused to defoliate, and
were the subject of rude jokes in that regard. (My daughter snorted:
now it's just the opposite.)
So .... in certain periods, bush was an indicator of assertiveness or
masculinity, and defoliation was an indicator of submissive
sexuality. Foldy bits were also a marker of group identity, and male
vs. female. This rolls over into the discussion of henna's part in
circumcision, and the several countries where the henna artist
(muzzayyina) is also responsible for male and female circumcision.
OK, OK ... obligatory henna mention .... after defoliation, the
private landscape was frequently hennaed, to the astonishment of
visitors unaccustomed to a furless, vivid red "stop sign". The hennaed
private landscape is considered to be much more fragrant, less prone
to heat rash, and of a more pleasant texture than if left unhennaed.
A gentleman who posted quite awhile back, emailed me privately about
defoliation and hennaeing effects, and that he found furlessness and
henna a big aesthetic improvement in his personal trowser furniture.
More fragrant and better looking couldn't possibly hurt.
I've never worked so hard in my life to word things so spiders and
trolls don't catch onto this thread overquick. We may have lawn care
specialists cruising through, though.
