Master of the porn parody, director Axel Braun, whose
father was a pioneer porn producer in the 1960’s and
70’s, told us, “I grew up in Europe in the 70’s… I LOVE a
full bush!”
Porn producer Kim Nielsen, whose company specializes
in niche hairy porn, says, “When I first started ATKingdom
in 1996, hairy pussies were pretty much the norm.”
But soon, shaving took over with porn performers doing
“landing strips,” “bald eagles” and “full Brazilians.” The
bikini wax lasted almost two decades, followed by laser
hair removal, followed by the short lived “vajazzaling” of
the “vajajay.”
ATKingdom continues to entertain the hairy lovers
with new and old hairy vids like Hairy Chicks Get Back
To Nature, Put The Shaver Down, Hairy Fun, and British
Bush, which features “11 people competing for the gold
in the category of hairiest pubic region.”
From a psychological perspective, Nielsen says, “It harks
back to a more innocent time of adolescence. Men want
to relive the experience with the type of girls they had their
first sexual experiences with.”
A STUDY IN PUBICITY
Someone actually did a study on what people think of
others’ pubic hair grooming habits. YouGov’s latest study
says that 72% of American women say they shave their
lady business. This is opposed to 37% of guys who shave
their junk. Over 1,000 people were polled for this survey,
which found that men 30-44 expect women to remove their
hair down there (55%), while the percentage of men who
think they should reciprocate is only 37%. Meanwhile, 54%
of women 18-30 and 49% of men think men should do it.
People under 30 were more equal in their deep thoughts
about men shaving the pubic hair around their man poles.
WIGS FOR PUBES
In 2014, the American Apparel store in downtown New
York City featured mannequins wearing panties with hairy
pubic hair wigs sticking out on the sides. It’s a look.
“Vagina wigs,” also known as Merkins, made their pubic
public appearance during Fashion Week 2018 in New
York. A South Korean designer named Kaimin paraded
models down the runway in mohawks with matching mini-
pube mohawks. Nobody remembered the clothes.
“We really wanted to push the futuristic punk aesthetic
7 6 A V N . C O M | 5 . 2 1 | S E X P L O R A T I O N S
of this seasons’ collection and having matching hair and
Merkins was perfect,” the designer told the fashion press.
During the 2019 AVN Novelty Expo in Las Vegas, a giant
booth of vag wigs from Lithuania made their debut with
more than 300 styles on display. Fun fact: fake fur pubic
hair wigs are big in Lithuania! There is the little red kitty
one and the smiley face one. And the heart one and the
mini cat mask one…
Pet the pink kitty.
And thanks to my new Lithuanian friend manning the
booth at the expo, who gave me the fluffy one with an arrow
pointing downwards, reminding me to shave my pubes.
Sex tip for girls: put that fake fur Merkin on and parade
around for the boyfriend, so he can laugh.
THE CARPET MATCHES THE DRAPES
Meanwhile, at Bettybeauty.com in New York City, lady
business is booming. A vegetable-based, non-toxic hair
color company for the hair down there, they produce pube
dye for both men and women.
Artist and inventor Nancy Jarecki says, “I hadn’t planned
on starting a cosmetics company. “But sitting in a hair
salon in Rome a few years ago, I made a discovery.
“As I saw women leaving the salon, I couldn’t help
noticing that some women would linger by the door.
“After a few minutes, their colorist would come back with
a little paper bag, hand it to them and send them cheerfully
on their way. When I inquired about this mysterious ritual,
the receptionist said, ‘Per sotto, per farli combaciare,’
meaning ‘For the hair down there, to make it match.’ I
thought, ‘How genius.’”
BALLSY, MANSCAPED MEN
At Manscaped.com, “over 2 million men trust Manscaped
tools for their family jewels.”
Their “Lawnmover Skin Safe Ball Trimmer” with “Skin
Safe” technology and waterproof ergonomic design
with “advanced engineering” with ceramic blades “hold
an edge longer, so it’s less likely to nick your nugs.”
And over at Ballwash.com, which promises, “We’ve got
your sack,” they got their idea in the shower.
“Finally, men’s grooming products for man parts,” they
say. “Take care of your most prized possessions” with “ball
wash,” “ball guard,” and “nut rub,” a skin balm for “getting
ready for a big night out.”
