Shaving

[felinaform]

It is interesting to find this here, since I recently had a dare to shave. Didn't seem all that hard to me until it came time to do it. I failed miserably. Mostly, I think, because it was just a dare and had no other meaning to me. It could have been a battle of wills.

It is itchy, but there was a creme in the store to reduce that. I also found nair is less smelly, more user friendly than it used to be. No problem with the process.

I can understand functionally, it is cleaner (not a mouthful), it is more sensual. No problem doing it for someone for that reason. Also, it must be an incredible turn-on.

Standing in front of a mirror and looking though, I don't like it. There is some mystery, some allure the natural way. Shaved just doesn't look good to me. Not at all. Probably, though, it is something that could be gotten used to. I have always shaved my arms and pits... once, though, I let that hair grow. It looked shiny-golden in the sun. But not what I was used to.

*shrug* I suppose I should feel bad for having refused the dare, then completing the task. Why did I do that? I wondered. That was the reason why I did the first time too. I wondered what I used to look like.... well, and another reason. My first job was taking care of institutionalized people. It was the institutions policy to require it. I grew more and more ashamed of my job, and left. But before I did I shaved myself to see what exactly it meant.

I have concluded that depending on the circumstance it could make you feel vulnerable, sensual, young, naughty... most anything. Am I the only one that does not like the way it looks?

um... before I go for the night, I just wanted to say that I am happy to find a community of thinking, feeling people. Good job.
