Public hair Removal

Removal
According to the Oxford Companion to the Body, in the 1450s public women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat pubic lice and would then don a merkin or pubic wig where their public line of work would require so. In some Middle Eastern societies, removal of female body hair has been considered proper hygiene, mandatated by local customs, for many centuriesIn Islamic societies removing pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice known as an act of Sunan al-Fitra. Evidence of pubic hair removal in ancient India is thought to date back to 4000 to 3000 BC. According to ethnologist F. Fawcett, writing in 1901, he had observed the removal of body hair, including pubic hair about the vulva, as a custom of women from the Hindu Nair caste.
Some strippers and pornographic actresses, who always had inherently performed in the nude with more or less strict regulation laws according to the licenses allowed to their job location, began, some time in the late 1980s after the widespread fear of the HIV~AIDS epidemic and other STD's contagions, to a more radical trimming of their pubic hair. The spread of contagious diseases at the time was affecting many in the industry, though it was transmitted by body fluids, not hair. The fashion progressed to the extremes of reducing ever increasing amounts of pubic hair until its full removal of it. The widespread consuming of porn film and its watching, increased by the parallel boom of domestic video use, would catapult the adoption and mimicking of the concurrent fashion by the general public of women of the time. The fashion of such practices would reach cult status, and the growth of a whole industry dedicated to its maintenance after its implanted social acceptance and even some universal projection, it soon acquired the negative connotations of discrimination to any pubic hair in women (and even on men) in a totalitarian turn of social intolerance. Observation of most pornographic or artistic nude material before that decade and from the advent of the filming or photography camera, would show most if not all the performers or models with their own pubic hair differences of growth, with no signs of invested rejection or manipulated discrimination. The presentation is regarded by some as being erotic and aesthetic, while others consider the style as unnatural. Some people remove pubic hairs for erotic and sexual reasons or because they or their sex partner enjoy the feel of a hairless crotch.
