I was checking one of my regular 'news' sources and came upon a link to this blog though it is not safe for work.
http://baretobush.tumblr.com/ (http://baretobush.tumblr.com/)
Ostensibly it's about a woman shaving and regrowing her pubes but it's actually quite a bit deeper and very positive. It might just help some folks out (below is an excerpt):

The Reality of Nude Photos
Alright, so this is a little bit of an unrelated note to my regular posts, but I feel like it’s important. I want to take just a quick minute to explain the difference I see between a naked body that’s posed and a naked body that is just that: a naked body.
When we look at naked people on the internet (be it Porn Stars, “selfies” taken by internet-famous bloggers, or professional freelance models), they are almost always in these poses that elongate the body, stretch out the muscles, show off the ribs, push the breasts forward and hide all of those squishy rolls that happen when we relax. I am not attacking them, so please don’t feel defensive if those are the kinds of photos you are a part of. They’re beautiful, I have no problem with them. I just feel called to point out that a body that looks so “sexy” or “slender” or “desirable” in one picture, can look squishy, vulnerable and saggy in the next just by letting go of a pose. No one wants to post those pictures, those are the ones you delete before they’re even out of the camera. No one wants to say, “Hey! Here’s a selfie of how my tummy puffs out and look, can you see the stretch marks on my breasts!?”
I took both of those pictures this morning, minutes apart. They’re both me. They’re both completely unedited. They are simply meant to show the difference between a body that is carefully designed to be sexy and well-received, and a body that is just sitting there being a naked body on a bed in the morning.
I’m not saying that people shouldn’t pose in photos, or that photos designed to look sexy are bad whatsoever, so please don’t think that’s what I’m getting at. I just felt like sharing a picture of what a body really looks like sitting on a bed, instead of an image of what a body looks like carefully posed on a bed.

Really interesting blog, decided to follow and see where it goes
-
I should have mentioned 2 things:
1. Most definitely not safe for work - nor is it for the squeamish and
2. Best if read in chronological order there's a link at the top of the page to do just that.

That's an amazing amount of difference. Makes me wonder what candid shots of the celebrities would look like.
On a semi-unrelated note, I finally bothered to look up what NSFW meant. I wouldn't have guessed that. lol

very good post! :e4444

Interesting read you are right. I dont find that attractive, it isnt meant as judging the author as theres alot about me that I'm sure women don't find attractive, but I do appreciate what shes doing.

Hey IYNO,
Saw a few topics on pubic hair come up recently and reminded me of a cool site a brave woman has created. Its called "bare to bush". One day she was bored and thought it would be entertaining to document the regrowth of her pubic hair. Doesn't seem very deep right? Well through the coarse of her documentary she discovered she had more to talk about. I thought many of her opinions are well versed and interesting as she opens up on issues like body image and female issues. Hope you enjoy!
Here is a link to a tunblr page:

Oh, that's interesting. I've been seeing myself regrowing several times but never seen from one other's point of view. Especially of a different gender!

Now I'm reading it. Really thoughtful, giving me a chance to get into a mind of a female mind!

Beautiful shooting and great blog ! :e4444

Yeah, just think about all of the before and after pictures for beauty products. The before pictures always have terrible posture and no smiles.

:e4444 beautiful pictures...

I think stumbled across this on a news site a while back. Very cool :)

Here is the necromancer again :D (see speedo-topic :D)
I do not know what the policy is on here.
Start a new topic, because it is been a while since somebody posted it.
Or just ignore the warning of 120 days :D.
But I have to say I love this blog and the message it conveys:
Or as she says:
'I’m not anti-shaving. I’m not anti-growing. I’m pro-loving your body and rocking the fuck out of it in any way that makes you feel good about yourself. '
