I'll be honest. I don't want this story to be true. I don't want to know that it's simply not good for me to remain fuzz-free or (free-ish), you know, down there. I really wanted this to be an article written by some scaremongering crazy who's full of rubbish.
Unfortunately though, Emily Gibson MD is not a scaremongering crazy. She's a well-respected doctor and frankly, she comes across a little bit like your mum and I don't mind telling you, I felt a little scolded. Gibson wrote the article, which was originally published by kevinmd.com way back in 2011, and earlier this month The Guardian reprinted it and boy, did it get a reaction.
Simply put, she's asking us (and I mean girls and boys) to weigh up our vanity against the reality of what we're doing to our nether regions. Emily Gibson MD, is sick of this battle we are continuously fighting. "I must have missed the declaration of war on pubic hair," says says and sounds honestly aghast when she comments on the "astronomical" amount of money spent by both genders on it.
Don't even try and tell her that you feel cleaner and more hygienic down there. It simply won't wash (excuse the pun!). She goes on to list the foul and varied bacteria and health issues she herself has discovered on patient's genitals that are either a direct result of shaving or have been aggravated because of shaving and, trust me, it's more than enough to make you think twice.
I'm not saying that I'm a convert to the au natural look but I have to say, I may not be so slap happy about what gets taken off and it did get me thinking, why do we hate it so much?
