How did manscaping become a thing?
Admittedly, I am in my 60s. When I was in high school and college absolutely no one groomed their pubic hair. Living in a residence hall with open showers was a treat, and you were required to have a nude soap shower in an open area before you could use the campus swimming pool. Everyone was naturally hairy. When I joined my fraternity, there must have been an open secret to have a huge bush. We were flush with these men.
I remember Playgirl models in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Even the celebrities had big bushes. It seemed you had to have one to be considered for Playgirl.
I don't buy the argument it is more attractive to trim up. Believe me, plenty of girls blew my fraternity brothers who had big bushes. They came back for more. When some recruits for the military were photographed nude during WW2, none were dismissed because they had a lot more pubic hair than others.
Bushes don't hide a penis, most men swing back and forth when they are naked. It never hindered my opinion. I'm at a loss.

Maybe the accessibility of internet porn and sex tapes.
E.g., the Tommy Lee / Pamela Anderson sex tape. Supposedly, Tommy Lee had shaved the pubic hair at the base of his dick, which made his dick look even longer than it was. (I still haven't seen this video.)

I'm sorry but ungroomed body hair is just disgusting to me. It fosters sweet, bacteria and odor. I'm not saying I expect hardwood floors; I don't. But it does need to be neatly trimmed.

I don’t understand how something caught on that is basically covered most of the time. How often do straight guys see each other’s bushes that they started copying each other? I doubt they discussed it. I don’t get how it became so widespread.
I thought women sh=tarted shaving their bushes because of skimpy bathing suits.

I hooked up with a male classmate while at college in the 70s. I thought he was so sexy with his clothes on. When I pulled his shorts down, I was greeted with a large blond hay bale of pubic hair. It drew me onto his cock, and I stayed there for a couple of months. It must have been the pheromones emitting from that bale.

Hairless guys used to admit to being jealous of their hairier brethren. Hence the expression, "This will put hair on your chest." Now we've done a 180 and everyone is supposed to be hairless (or nearly so). It's a fashion choice that changes. Dr. Seuss warned us: No, you can't teach a Sneetch...

[quote] It fosters sweet, bacteria and odor.
It’s the opposite actually. Pubic hair protects from bacteria and decreases the odor that comes from sweat. It doesn’t matter though, because the modern norm is to shower frequently.
To me, as a Gen Xer, men shaving their pubic area looks absolutely ridiculous. I understand why men with a lot of upper body hair like to keep it trim, but once shaving the crotch became the norm it was too much. I feel the same about women who now feel unattractive unless they are completely hairless.

I always appreciated a well groomed pubis, but not overly groomed. These guys who shave their pubic foliage completely or have it sculpted into some sort of art piece are put-offs, as are guys who let their crotchal forestation grow to the point a bush hog is needed to thin it out.

R28 Do you have some backup for this? I always read/was told that the evolutionary biological function of pubic hair (women and men) and armpit hair, was to hold odors... pheromones.
[quote]Pheromone transmission - Another theory links pubic hair to the transmission of pheromones, or scent-carrying chemical secretions that affect mood and behavior. We still don’t know exactly how pheromones influence sexuality.
Pheromones are secreted from apocrine sweat glands. Compared to other areas of the body, the pubic region has a lot of these glands.
Therefore, as the theory goes, pubic hair may trap pheromones, increasing how attractive we appear to potential sex partners.

Those of us over 40 years old at my gym usually shower after our workouts, and we have no issue being seen full-frontal naked, big bushes and all. One time a young man about 25 years old came into the locker room, wrapped his towel around his waist, and then took off his shorts. He showered in the private zone, behind a curtain.
He wrapped his towel around him again before he left the shower. He was trying to put his boxer shorts on when he tripped, the towel dropped and his crotch came into full view. He had hairy legs, but his pubes were shaved off completely. One of the older men asked him why he did that, it looked so weird.
He thought about it after he re-wrapped himself, and then said he really didn't know. He was just following what the older students were doing. I guess independent thinkers are more likely to keep it natural.

The prisspots who have no issue with a stranger shoving his dick down their throats but shriek in horror that a public hair might get in their mouths are hilarious. 🤣

As are the mincing, prancing queens who think having a hairy chest and a full bush makes them butch, R113.

The Millennials have always had a thing about body hair. Rip Van Winkle beards okay; body hair no. And then there was that weird eyebrow-plucking fad.
It seems to be just them, because younger guys just let it grow.

The glimpse of pubic hair in an otherwise innocent setting presents a thrill. At 12:16.

I'm going back to the gym for the first time since the pandemic. Curious to see how prevalent the pube-shame and towel-dancing still is. Will report back.

My father, who would be close to 100 if he were alive, taught me to trim my armpits in order to avoid stinking when I was a teen. So no, manscaping has not just "become a thing."

^ also, some of us were raised with cultural or religious practices that promote trimming of body hair (particularly armpits, as you mention, or pubes) for hygienic reasons

Hairy or not hairy has made no difference in my *hygiene*. Where do people get that hairy pits “trap” bacteria and odor? It’s there, hair or not. Bacteria doesn’t magically not appear if you don’t have hair. You don’t magically stay dry without hair. You need to wash yourself and use deodorants either way.

You don't have to be a genius to understand that longer hair retains more volumes of bacteria than shorter or trimmed hair. But maybe you like the taste of bacteria.

We’re not talking taste, R122. We’re talking odor.

I can understand if someone's pubes were super bushy that they might want to trim them down a bit, but shaving is just so ugly.
It has to be the perception that shaving makes you look bigger.

Paddy O'Brian built a career around his bush. He started doing it about ten years ago, and is still going strong.

This guy, Osito Blanco, has an onlyfans page. He's naturally hairy in every shot. It doesn't look like he's manscaped in years.

Most women I know these days grow bush or only trim.
Stark contrast to how it was when we were growing up (2000s) and all of us felt compelled to be bald as naked mole rat babies.

Only on Datalounge are Playgirl models of the 80s used as a barometer of anything.

Women shave or wax if they want a date. Body hair is a turnoff with the under-30s in the genital and armpit region.

We remember those "glory days" because it was so infrequently that we saw naked men anywhere. We saw Playgirl once a month, if we were lucky. You wanted to remember what you saw. Being able to attach a name to a face and body helped you recall much faster.

Randy Ricks was a stripper for 40 years at LaBare in Dallas. He was a Playgirl centerfold multiple times.
I don't think many of you would object to his bush, given what it is the gateway to.

R153, This was an example of the only thing I could jerk off to in the mid-70s. I could hide it away and reuse, so to speak. I imagined what they looked like underneath those swimsuits.
Playgirl models were a revelation. When I was able to see one, I marveled at the cocks, balls and bushes on extremely good-looking men. It was like a dream come true. So, yes, it's what I still measure other men against.

When I saw this Winston Man in magazines in the 70s, I would lie down on my stomach in my jeans and rub my crotch against the carpet until I came. It was a mess to clean up the insides of the jeans, but that was half the excitement to dare to cum.

Then I discovered he was in Playgirl as David White a couple of years later. I didn't just cum in my jeans, I exploded.
