I'm not saying I don't like Bush but it's a little silly to call me ungrateful after the whole Iraq and Afghanistan debacle.

Fuck, I saw this late and didn't post in time

I don't think either Bush presidencies were very good TBH.
Hate Bush ❌ Kate Bush ✅
Have you seen Kate Bush's bush?
(I mean the shrubbery, of course.)
I hated the name Bush X.
The 1990s British alt-rock band Bush was temporarily known as Bush X only in Canada. They were forced to add the "X" because a 1970s Canadian rock group named Bush (led by Domenic Troiano) already legally held the rights to the name in the Canadian market.

Gotta say. I kinda agree. If you're a men that hate the 90s grunge band Bush, you have no soul

This was the first album I bought with my own money.
Damn 15 hours too late.
Got a machine head! It's better than the rest. Green to red, machine head.
This is a horrible pop album full of gibberish, and I grew up in the 90s.
Well they are both war criminals who should be tried as traitors, and the whitewashing of their legacies is deeply shameful to say the least.
I'm torn.
I don't want hair in my mouth, but I do like the idea of playing in the jungle.
People should just find people they're sexually compatible with. No one owes you anything, and you don't owe anyone anything. Just do whatever you want with consenting adults. I don't understand why this concept is so fucking hard? You don't like bush, cool, don't sleep with someone who has one. You like to have a bush? Cool, don't sleep with someone who doesn't like it. Simple as that people. No one decides what they like and what they don't. You can't force someone to like your body, so why even bother? There's plenty people out there who likes you the way you are.
You don't like bush, cool, don't sleep with someone who has one.
Should this conversation happen prior to the encounter, then?
Nothing wrong with talking about expectations prior to banging.
“Oh you grew up in Phoenix? My family’s in Scottsdale. So, like, do you have pubes?”
In theory - yes. But in practice it would be rude and / or ruining the moment.
Much more rude to tell a woman you don't want to fuck her after she's taken her clothes off.
Wouldn't that technically mean she's raping you?
What the fuck?
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment about people who legitimately believe that a woman has been raped if she changes her mind during, but never relays that information to the man.
No one was talking about that here. YOU brought up rape unprovoked.
Rape isn't funny.
You straight up said it's not ok to tell a woman that you're no longer interested in sex.
Having sex when you don't want to because you feel pressured into it is generally considered SA when it happens to a woman.

Much more rude to tell a woman you don’t want to fuck her after she’s taken her clothes off.
Since reading comprehension has escaped you here - I said it's more rude to share you won't fuck hairy women after clothes are off. It is a better idea to be upfront about how you can't get your dick hard unless a woman is hairless rather than share that after clothes have already come off.
I said absolutely fucking NOTHING about rape or forcing people to have sex they don't want.
If the moment can be ruined by something little, it was going to be ruined to begin with.
If it's actually a total deal breaker for you then ... probably?
This is the real answer. I mean some compromise is normal and healthy in a relationship, but for the most part everyone just do what you are comfortable with and find people who are good with that
This is the answer in a pragmatic sense, in our day to day. It works, it's fine. The thing is our tastes are not 100% natural and spontaneous, they can be influenced by context, and that context can be problematic. So the extra step these discussions are asking us to do is beyond the pragmatic or useful day to day advice you gave. It is questioning why we have those tastes. "Why don't I like natural cis women?", "Why am I not attracted to black people?", "Why do I refuse to date trans guys?". Etcetera. If we find it is not because of prejudices, societal expectations, 'must be's from unequal societies, or anything like that, then it's an unfortunate coincidence but we can move on. But if we find something like that (those things I listed), it is not necessarily permanent, I think most of the times it can be worked on, changed, and these discussions are also an invitation to do so.
There's plenty people out there who likes you the way you are.
Hahaha, good one 😂
... now I'm sad 😔
pokes your shoulder
Hey, I like you!
How's today going?
This is about people who go out of their way to comment on typically women’s bodies or go out of their way to leave hate comments to women online for having body hair.
This is in the intro of the video.
I'm mostly refering to some of the comments in this thread. A lot seem to take it very personal that some people might not be into the same thing they are.
Umm, I do, in fact, decide what I like or don't like. That's true for everybody. But I don't decide what you like, and vice versa. So the issue is still that you can't decide for other people what they're into.
How does that work? Especially given the context. As I've understood attraction and what one likes about the other person aren't really changeable? I'm genuinely curious how can that be changed or decided?
I don't know - maybe just owning your choices?
And still, hows that supposed to change what one likes?
Of course i can consciously decide to override likes and preferences, but that still doesn't change those. It will still be conscious decision every time.
And giving the current context of sex. As I've understood, we aren't supposed to force that? Like we don't go up to someone who's gay and say why don't you decide to like women, of course some do, but we're not supposed because those likes aren't supposed to be changeable.
Here's my approach to this, as a dude:
I mean, really I don't have a broad preference for or against bush at all...
... but, if you want me to smooch things down there, please tidy up a bit.
I just don't like having a mouth full of hair.
Don't worry, I will tidy up too, for the reverse scenario, if partner also dislikes mouthful of hair, and! ... this also applies to my facial hair... I'm not that attached to it, and it will grow back, if you want to smooch my face but don't like the beard/stache.
Maybe I am lucky in that I at least I think I look decent both with or without a beard/stache.
This is to me completely fair and reciprocal, and ... really is not that conplicated.
Wait, the pubic hair or the president?
I mean, they had a pretty okie album. I wouldn't say i hate them.
My partner will grow everything out, full pits, full bush and I'm like "Yes! so sexy!" Then she'll decide to shave everything and I'm like "awwww yeah!". Then back to the bush and I'm again stoked. She's beautiful and sexy no matter what.
I became sexually active in the early 1990s when the Brazilian look was big in porn, but most women still had full pubes, or if they were fancy, went for the French runway.
So my brain associated the shaved look with porn, and bush with IRL, which messed with my head on the occasion I had a partner who waxed herself clean.
My experience is that bush is easier to maintain and is easier on the skin. Shaving is fun for a single date, but results in a scratchy period and runs the risk of ingrown hairs.
I have never had an ingrown hair in my life.
I'm sure people get them, but I can't imagine it's that common.
I get ingrown where I don't even remove hair. It's like my hair just wants to get inside again all warm and cosy.
I get ingrown hairs on my legs that I have to manually inspect and release or it will become a pimple like bubble with a mangled hair in it that and sometimes it is painful.
It depends on how your hair grows. Mine is almost flat against my skin, so it gets ingrown frequently if I don't take precautions.
In the aughts, I had a girlfriend who was conflicted, as she loved the feeling of bare skin but would get ingrown hairs in the week or two to follow.
You are blessed.
Every time I've tried shaving my junk (even tried Nair once) I've ended up with a minefield of ingrown hairs.
It's 24 hours of "woah, this feels kinda neat" followed by weeks of agony and waiting for the redness to go away. I sometimes get them when I shave my face too, but that's less common. Had one on the top of my head once that made a bald spot about the size of a quarter that took a couple months to grow back in. I had one next to my balls once that became the worst infection I've ever had. Hurt like hell to walk. Had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics because I felt the infection creeping upward toward my midsection. Then once the infection went down enough, I cut it open with a razor blade and dug all the gunk out and it was unbelievably painful and probably the grossest body thing I've ever had to deal with. Had this gaping hole left over afterwards. Still have a scar 20 years later.
Ingrown hairs are a plague upon the body. Consider yourself very lucky.
You know, I decided to look some stuff up after reading this, and there is a fantastic chance it's only because I have relatively thin, straight hair.
I shampoo, I exfoliate. I imagine it would be insane to hear that the razor I use for my face, junk, and limbs is getting a bit scratchy, I probably needed to swap the blade out like a week ago. Getting one ingrown hair, let alone a minefield is just unthinkable to me.
If I had to deal with half of what you do, I either just wouldn't shave or I'd be looking for more permanent methods.
The message of the OP is one I agree with anyway, so it's not like it's a big deal. I hope after 20 years you've settled on a look you like. :p
I’m confused. Are we talking V Bush or W Bush?
