Jayhawk dirty talk
I hear the retro bush is making a comeback. Should I let it go below the waist?

Dear Potentially Furry
Friend,
I am almost certain that the retro bush is not making a come back. Right now it's summertime and swimsuits are being worn by just about every lady who wants to take a dip in the pool. Being that most women don't want stray hairs making an appearance in front of possible swimming partners (most notably those of the male variety), I would assume that there is at least some well thought out trimming going on around the bikini line.
As far as getting in touch with your inner yetti is concerned, I think that is a matter of personal preference. Whether you should keep it natural, give it a modest trim, shave a landing strip, wax it bald or style it into the groomed topary of your dreams is up to you. Some people like it business in the front and party in the back, others don't. I suggest you try different things and see what tickles your fancy. Remember that with all hair styles, what looks good on one person may not look good on you.
There are arguments for and against letting your pubic hair grow to a natural length. Lawrence esthetician Brenda Lehman has been waxing people for fifteen years and told me that her business Simply Wax, 719 Mass., has seen more traffic this year this year than in years past.
"It's more hygienic to shave and wax. It's my understanding from the gynecologists who I've spoken to that shaving and waxing is the most common grooming technique rather than just letting it go," Lehman said. "We grow hair to keep body parts warm. In our modern society it's not as important anymore, but it still holds pheromones."
I've also read that keeping your hair trimmed or even nonexistent
can increase sensitivity in certain parts, particularly in the clitoris. Less of a buffer between you and your man and more exposed surface area should mean easier orgasms, but it could still be a bald faced lie.
Since I don't own a pair of x-ray glasses, I can't tell you exactly how many ladies are letting it go down there. Not that I would want that kind of power (grass!), but hair, as far as I can tell, is just a fashion statement anyway. How many people are really going to see what kind of style is hiding between your legs? Not too many, and once it's gotten that far, they probably aren't going to worry about critiquing your pubic pompadour.
If you want to personally bring the bush back, you might be doing yourself a service in the coming months. With all of your new hair, keeping warm in the winter cold won't be a problem, but I still think the retro bush is retro for a reason. Hair that isn't on your head is rarely seen as attractive in today's culture.
While writing this column the perfect song came up on my playlist. Remember when Justin Timberlake wrote a song cronicaling how he was "bringing sexy back." There was a small backslash from people who claimed that, for them, sexy had never left. I'm inclined to think that after reading my column some people might claim that, for them, the retro bush was never retro to begin with.

To the person who hasn't eaten for seven days, now eight days. What is your name?

Who would actually say,
"To the person who haven't eaten"? Person is not plural. I don't mean to pick people apart, but come on now. We can do a little better than that, can't we?

When you get a new girlfriend it feels like your balls have been drained after a week, I can't believe I'm saying this...but my junk needs a rest! I don't think I can have sex for at least 2 days, my balls need a recharge
You obviously aren't seasoned then. Might as well tell your girlfriend to find a real man.

I may be a dude... but I loved Heath Ledger so much in The Dark Night that I now believe necrophilia is ok... I would so do Heath

Yet again, you obviously aren't seasoned then. Might as well tell your girlfriend to find a real man. I'm drunk!
