ANOTHER Pubic Hair *blushing* Stupid question...
From: wondering (anonymous@obgyn.net)
Mon, 19 Feb 2001 11:45:07 -0600 (CST)
Doctors- or other people on this board- I was wondering what the
MAJORITY of women do? Trim? Shave? Wax? I always wonder when I go to the
OBGYN if my hair growth is acceptable- I normally just trim a little.
For some reason my hair down there is not at all curly. Just coarse and
straight. Is this unusual?
