Uncharted Territory: Bieber Boosts Halter, Pitty Takes a Tumble, Russ Chimes Debuts
This week on Uncharted, Singer-songwriter Ernie Halter debuts at No. 35 with the help of a certain swoopy-haired teen idol, Houston rock band Otenki bumps up a few notches.
I’m doing a project on the social phenomenon of women’s pubic hair removal. My hypothesis is that it is at least partially a result of the porn industry, where women remove it for better camera access. Many younger men view porn before they’re sexually active in real life, which may construct expectations men have about how women’s pubic hair should look.
In addition, mass-media marketing/exposure have played a role, telling women that hairless is sexy and chic. I believe this is why it has become a socially expected “norm” among men of a certain age – teens, 20s, and possibly early 30s, and a self-inflicted practice among women – internalized to the point where women view their hair as disgusting.
GENTS out there, please state your preference, and YOUR AGE (or general age). Any thoughtful, self-reflecting insights as to WHY your preference is the way it is would be much appreciated too.
Thank you!
I’m 24 btw, and am doing this for a university project.
