It’s been my experience that turning gray is the least of it. The older I get, the less pubic hair there is. Hair period. I haven’t needed to shave my legs in at least a decade. Mom’s legs are completely hairless, as is her general cooch area. Mine looks like an old man in need of a comb over is wedged between my legs. So, what I’m saying is, wait long enough, like post menopause, and life will remove the need and pain of a Brazilian.
I have been writing about how great it is to get older for some time. Indeed, I wrote a whole book about it. Lots of reasons, but especially the confidence and I don't give a goddam attitude. I am much older than you, however. I have never written about the pubes (grey or non-existent), but you might like Thinking about the Vulva (https://arichardson.substack.com/p/thinking-about-the-vulva)

Dude. “I got busy with work and could barely keep up with the Kardashians, much less my Brazilians;” is such an incredible line.

Love this essay and all the nuances you weave in on aging, beauty and corporate standards for women, and coming into our power. Thank you!
Thank you!
It was great, I even posted a link on my FB. I really like Open Secrets but don't like their 2K word limit.
