🌿 Thoughts on relationship to body hair 🌿

As far as I remember myself I always had a

battle with body hair. And strong, overwhelming shame around it. To the point of refusing to go outside and crying at the age of 12 if my legs weren’t perfectly shaved. And over the years this relationship thankfully to my own efforts have gone through different phases and became more healthy. Less filled with rejection of the self and shame. That being said, I am not at the end of this journey, as to this day I experience shame and discomfort if someone else sees any kind of body hair, that I have. The most discomfort being around having hair around my pussy.

And of course this heavily intertwined with my work.

So today I am here, not only to reflect on my relationship towards body hair, but also to have courage to challenge my shame.

Of course there always will be people that themself have some sort of tension with body hair , or people whose preferences are just different. Still, I believe the sex community is diverse in very many aspects and I would love to focus and support the parts of it that strive to create acceptance and variety rather then police the bodies of other people based on their own views.

Feel free to share with me your own thoughts on body hair , I am curious to know what helped other people to accept their bodies and just be :>
