North America’s current standard of female beauty is stunningly akin to the body of your average six year old girl – in other words, completely curveless.

Put these two together, and what do you get? The below-eight set has become America’s sexual ideal.

Enough said.

PS – Honey, you seem hell-bent on being willfully ignorant, so congratulations for missing the point of this blog so flagrantly.

History

Brazilian bikini waxes have been very popular since the 90’s. Brazilian waxing was introduced to New York in 1987 by a group of Brazilian-born sisters, who gave it its name.
These Brazilian women were not however the first that removed their pubic hair.
Women have been removing their pubic hair for thousands of years and the trend started in ancient Egypt!
Women in the Middle East have also used Brazilian waxing since ancient times and look usually was achieved just before their wedding for the purpose of displaying purity.

According to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_waxing)
It is named after Brazil, the country with which it is most often associated and from which the modern practice originated. In Brazil itself, it is not called Brazilian waxing, but simply depilar (to wax, to pluck hairs). In Middle Eastern societies, removal of the body hair is considered a proper form of hygiene, necessitated by ancient local customs. Contemporary sources indicate that the French nobility also practiced waxing during the 17th century.

A Brief History of the “Brazilian” :
The Brazilian wax was introduced to New Yorkers in 1987 when seven Brazilian sisters, Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Jussara, Juracy, and Judseia Padilha opened J. Sisters International Salon in midtown Manhattan. They swore by it’s effectiveness in many aspect: bikinis had gotten skimpier, husbands were suddenly eager to please their wives, and since the hair doesn’t grow back for a month, it was easy to maintain.

Hmmm….so…in other words, Sex-Crazed Americans didn’t dream it up & force it on women…It’s been going on for more than just a couple years & just got to be popular here in the last several years.

I just LOVE folks who have so many strong opinions, yet, don’t have an ounce of knowledge or understanding.

As for the rest, I don’t think anyone here is trying to tell you what to do with your own body–I’m certainly not. I love seeing you say “Good for you” about someone else’s personal preference, and I feel the same way.

What we try to look at in this blog is not so much people’s personal choices as the factors that affect all of our personal choices. Obviously, no one would get a Brazilian before the idea existed; so what brought the idea into being? Why are they popular now, and not in the 1960s? Or the 1920s?

Thanks for pointing us at you website. I’m sure you’re helping lots of women by telling your dreadful experience with implants. Good luck!

Patia,

You’re a girl after my own heart!

Just because I don’t think my crotch needs to look like a 10-year-old’s — or that 10-year-olds should be treated as if they are tiny tramps in training — doesn’t make me a feminazi. Go fuck yourself.

Gee, and here I thought I became a woman when I hit puberty.
