Only Skin

It's always struck me as odd how girls can be attracted to men. I mean surely girls realise that's their bodies are much nicer than mens'? I'm not just talking vaginas vs doodles here, or the obvious appeal of boobies, I'm mostly talking about skin. Girls have lovely soft and smooth skin, men have hard and rough skin. Surely everyone agrees that the former is more appealing? This has always bugged me. I've often wondered how any girl would be able to find me attractive when my skin is less beautiful than theirs? It doesn't make any sense. Why drop yourself down a level? That's why I've always tried to look after my skin with a quality moisturiser. I can't actually comprehend how girls can be attracted to men, however the attraction of girls is completely obvious. Therefore in order to make myself attractive I believe that I need to make myself as feminine as possible. But it's not just the texture of the skin that is the problem here. There's also a little issue of hair. Body hair is not in any way appealing and I refuse to take anyone seriously who claims otherwise. I have a major issue with the way society expects females to remove their body hair yet does not expect the same of men. Why are heterosexual men allowed to touch and kiss beautiful skin, but heterosexual women aren't afforded the same privilege? That's not fair. It's just plain wrong. I must say I do approve of girls who go against this social convention and do not removal their body hair. However, due to girls having less body hair than men this form of protest doesn't quite cut it. The only real way to achieve equality in this regard is to make it socially unacceptable for men to have body hair as well, and frown upon (and deny sexual activities to) those who refuse to comply.

So in order to make myself a more attractive person, and also to express my solidarity with heterosexual females who I believe get a raw deal in the sack, for the last ten years or so I have have waxed my body hair.


I believe this is not only the most ethical thing to do in regards to showing respect to the sisterhood, but I also cannot be convinced that this doesn't make me more physically attractive. And beside these two reasons, quite frankly, I love it! I love feeling soft, smooth and luxurious. I love the sleekness of my hairless body. I love the fact that it doesn't take so long to dry myself when I hop out of the shower. And I love knowing that my body is as beautiful as it can be (at least until I can get some breast implants anyway).
