You wear spanx because hiding your gut makes you look good … right?
You put all that weave in your head (which I hate) because it makes you look good … right?
You shave all the hair on your upper lip to look better … right?
But it’s not just looking good … you also want to look younger. You want to be carded to get into the club. You want to mistaken for your daughter’s sister. You want men to think of you as younger than your age too.
You lie about your age so people think you’re younger … right?
You hid your birth year on facebook so people think you are younger … right?
Well, I am here to tell you that every woman reading this right now can make a quick change that will make her more attractive and look younger at the same time. Best thing, it’s a cheap procedure that can be done in one of many ways. It’s quick, it’s easy, and you will look and feel better immediately.
Yes … I’m talking about shaving your p****y!
A long time ago I begged and pleaded with you to shave your va-jay-jay for the betterment of you and all mankind. And yet, the research arm at SingleBlackMale.org has come back with some astounding news. Currently, a shocking 75% of black women are walking around with hair on their private parts (*disclaimer* I pulled that number from so deep up my a$$ I can’t sit down anymore).
After hearing this news I decided to come back to the topic, two years later, just to squash all of the objections I am hearing out in the streets. So start by reading my original post on why you need to shave here … get mad … and then come back and I’ll make you feel me inside.
Finished … aight then.
Objection: It will make me look like a teenager
SBM Response: Bish … ain’t you trying to look younger?!?!
You know why I started off with telling you about all the things you your girlfriends do to look younger and good … because you spend a lot of time trying to look younger and good. If you have the “sexy” underwear, trust me … this will be a whole lot better than the lacy boy shorts.
Objection: Shaving down there is a lot of work
SBM Response: You already spend 1/3rd of your life trying to look good.
The fact is, if looking good was easy, you would already have a man then the world would be filled with a bunch of Rosa Acosta’s and there would be no point for relationship advice (every man would be married ASAP). It takes a little work to look good, but this is one of the easiest changes you can make. And I gaurauntee that every man alive will love it! If not everyman … SBM will!
Objection: It itches
SBM Response: Anymore than where your mustache used to be
I shave. It itches. You get used to it. You do it enough, it doesn’t itch. You’re already shaving, tweezing, and plucking … I’m just asking you to add one more area onto the list.
Objection: It’s just not natural. God made me with hair there.
SBM Response: Is that the (hair|eye color|cleavage|lack of uni-brow) that God gave you?
Unless you have hairy legs, hair on your upper lip, and your real hair without any type of moisturizer or chemicals … shut the f* up. And if you do have all of those things, then you have a lot more to work on before joining the Bald Kitty Movement.
So I hope I was able to recruit more followers to the Bald Kitty Movement. The BKM is as important to the health of Black Love as Obama and Michelle staying together forever (I mean really think if they got divorce … it’s officially over for black love).
I have a standing appointment (every four weeks) and a membership to a waxing studio… I firmly believe in the benefits both hygienic and other of having a "bald kitty". Even my girlfriends that don't wax shave…yet I'm not at all surprised by the numbers.
I can maybe understand some objection to going completely bare, but I don't get the notion of "bush". It's natural to grow armpit hair , yet I'm not trying to hang on to it.
Although I will likely be taking a break from commenting around the e-streets, I wanted to support my
almost non-existente-boo boo (said in a Yogi voice, of course) by commenting.As for this question, "Is that the (hair|eye color|cleavage|lack of uni-brow) that God gave you?"
Yes, yes it is. Love it or move the eff on.
I for one have done done of that stuff you have listed (on second thought, this could be why I'm single and in the longest drought known to man). That said, I fully cosign (and live) the bald kitty lifestyle. #thatisall.
I can't figure out if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me … ?
Agreeing, of course! I'm just saying that I've never done the rest of the stuff on your list.
Although, it's recently come to my attention that SOME men wildly prefer the wax over shave thing. My response to that is "pay for it". (the waxing, not access to the kitty)
Veet works pretty well. Much better than shaving.
Why are you taking a break Sane?
Awww.. Sane,what's good momma?? I enjoy reading your comments..
Pleaseeee Don't Go #NoTank
@Queen I have a lot going on and I'm trying to also get a lot done at work. So, in the interest of not being unemployed come June, I'll shall put all my efforts into the other areas of my life for now.
Plus, these e-streets is rough lately@GirlSixx, Awwww. I may drop in more than I'm planning to as of now. I'll also still be on the Twitter randomly as usual.
I find it interesting more and more women are joining this movement. I know I hear a lot of my friends talking about going to get waxed. I used to be taken back by the comments but I'm proud of them for the up keep.
Seventy five percent seems WAY high. I haven't run into any forests in my time here and I might have to start questioning your overall tastes if 75% of the folks you dealing with don't speak Brazilian. I have a friend who keeps regular laser appointments, a friend who straight up wouldn't let me pet the kitty because her situation wasn't tight, and have come across far more skin fades than dark ceasers down low. I feel like it's just a common courtesy. Ladies, if you prefer your man to have a regular shape-up up top and keep his beard, nose hairs neat — we expect the same in your feminine areas.
One thing I won't ever do, Sugaring… good lord did that hurt a lot more than regular waxing, I mean I was spread eagle fanning poor Ms. Sassy 🙁 and to top it off I became super sensitive! Not good. But I do believe in waxing and in hair removal creme, which I prefer a lot more, it leaves me even smoother than waxing, screw Mr. Miyagi…
But what I was disappointed in the previous post of the original BKM is that men shouldn't do a Bald Eagle?! Whaaaaaat? *in my Minion's voice* why?! I prefer a man have a BE than well kept/trimmed. Definitely don't like hairy coconuts in my mouth, and with a tongue ring, those suckers get stuck and I start choking, not a good look my friends. Plus its a lot more hygenic, its not as stinky or sweaty so I feel a lot more comfortable to just pounce on the bone at any one time rather than wait for him to freshen up… and it DOES make that oh so wonderful-make-me-roll-my-eyes-to-the-back-of-my-head-I'm-drooling-calling-you-Gods-name pleasure wand look big! It just makes my mouth water seeing Heavy D and The Boys extremely well kept that I have to drop to my knees…
I wouldn't be opposed to full BE, but I havent heard too many women ask for it.
I'm in complete agreement about the "boys". Dave Chapelle spoke on this and hairy balls I hear listed high on the list of complaints.
What's sugaring?
Sugaring isjust that a sugar paste made with sugar honey i believe, it doesnt stick to the skin at all and it just adheres to the hair and one dollop amount is reused and reused constantly until youre all hair free what hurts a lot is the spreading of it cuz it really adheres to the hair good but when applying it and stretching it to cover more areas it hurts a lot
Well, its a preference and you cant argue with opinions but hair has a purpose including pubic hair. If your quick to toss a girl to the side because she has what makes her a women then maybe youre not really a man in the first place. From your post you seem a lil chauvinistic and shallow. But for every silly man their's a silly woman that bends to meet his perspective on things.
When did bald pussies become the thing to do anyway?
You have to also realize that the data youve gotten may have been skewed a little. Maybe 75% of your page followers of a certain age group might like shaved kitties, but that doesnt necessarily mean that 75% percent of all males prefer it.
Im just tired of the un-needed male perspective on ladie issues. Next thing you know you'll be following this post with one about how women shouldnt have periods. You men have to remember what gives a women that confidence that you demand so much is her ability to do whatever makes her FEEL that she looks good. That would include weaves, clothes OR waxing. You should really STFU and take it like it comes because it IS a lot of work. But then again maybe your opinions are what makes you a "singleblackmale". Just some food for thought.
And to the above poster who says shaved is more sanitary, that's not necessarily so. The more you shave or wax, the more you leave your skin open to pathogens including sexually transmitted diseases. Which is one of the reasons why hair is there in the first place. To protect from chafing from walking and what we were created for: to procreate.
To each his own. But I dont shave because a man whines about it. I shave and wear weaves because I like it. Your opinion is just that and I fully understand that youre free to have it but at the end of the day, youre still single. Maybe you need to re-evaluated your variables and lower your bar a lil.
"You should really STFU and take it like it comes because it IS a lot of work."
I've said this before but only cuz she asked me to.
You should probably also read his post about why he doesn't have a problem being in a relationship.
http://www.singleblackmale.org/2011/03/31/top-6-r…
I'm also pretty sure a lot of women wouldn't mind not having their periods as long as it didn't mean they were pregnant.
Sigh….
Welcome to the site.
Yo why don't we just keep it real and ask the question…
Jaqueline? Do you have an ugly p^ssy??
Please describe your cooter in 50 words or less.
Include color (Interior, exterior). Muscle size. Scent. And length of extra skin.
I am under the impression you hide your Wet Fairy behind hair because you are ashame of how it looks. Maybe you don't like the flaps that make it look like an Octopus is stuck in your panties.
Maybe you are embarrassed b/c your hood gives the impression your man in the boat is stuck on an Oil Tanker… by himself.
Look not all Cherry Ginger Ale's are made equal. Some are quite ugly, still useful but ugly. We shouldn't scare away the pretty girls from showing off what they have.
If you are unsure how to rate your muffin you are take a picture and forward it to the SBM mail box. The writers will professionally offer you an opinion and it can all remain discreet.
*Officially Now Plant Fertilizer* "G6GreenTurf"
iCan't!!!
aww Cheekz. we can always count on you… lol
Funniest comment of the day! Love the realness of it
actually a lot of women prefer their periods to come because they know "everything is still working properly" but I'm one that can do without it personally, and I have. It is my opinion you have to be a woman and deal with women's issues to decide what is and what is not worth it/important to you.
I enjoyed her comment a lot because I do take personal peeve at men telling women what they SHOULD do…so thank you Jacqueline for stating eloquently what I'm sure some other women think and practice too.
I'm all about personal hygiene and upkeep, not just a preference aesthetic for someone that doesn't have to do the maintenance.
About the STD comment, I think you're supposed to wait at least 24 hours before sex and other things so that you don't mess up your area. Shouldn't you know about your partner's status before getting down?
Hair traps moisture, which leads to funk and infections. No one wants to deal with a smelly, and infected vag. However, I will concede that shaving isn't as sanitary as waxing.
Also, I don't understand a bush's purpose in procreation. Less hair leads to more sensitivity and more pleasure for both partners, so it can help us serve our purpose. Unless you believe that pleasure and procreation don't have to go together.
*sigh*
It's sad that humor is lost on so many. Jacqueline, can I call you Jackie, thanks. So I see your P.O.V., and I get it. However, to have such a strong reaction to 1) something you admit that you're already doing and 2) a post which is obviously written with the intention of being funny and a source of entertainment leaves me with a WTF-kind of side eye right now.
From your post you seem a lil chauvinistic and shallow. But for every silly man their’s a silly woman that bends to meet his perspective on things.
If you really believe that this site is contributing or setting out to the lowering of women's self esteem, then I actually believe the question of whether or not you should shave your chocha should be among the bottom of your list of concerns.
When did bald pussies become the thing to do anyway?
When did women begin shaving their legs? When did weaves become the norm instead of afros? When did Lebron's hairline decide to move North? Is there any relevance to this question? Trends come and go all the time. No one's crying for the Jheri Curl
I mean even if they're crying it might just be left over activator residue in their eye, so why complain about this one? Hairy used to be sexy. Look at posters and movies from the 70s. Women used to ENJOY a man with a body full of hair. Not so much anymore.The more you shave or wax, the more you leave your skin open to pathogens including sexually transmitted diseases. Which is one of the reasons why hair is there in the first place. To protect from chafing from walking and what we were created for: to procreate.
Again… *sigh*
Really? Really?!? Are you going to pull the protection card? Was this ever a function… Yes. Is that still an issue… No. See back in the time of Jesus and maybe as recently as the Wild West, you're absolutely right. Pubic hair slowed the transport of bacteria and dirt into the genitals, much like your eyebrows and lashes protect your eyes. BUT low and behold new technology arrived in the form of indoor plumbing and washing machines. Now [generally] people bathe regularly and do laundry, so the build up and threat of bacteria marching en masse into your hallowed hall is dramatically decreased. So much like your appendix and your tonsils, that ish ain't really all that important anymore.
Now I'm still fairly new here so I could be wrong, but since I haven't seen your screenname before I'm assuming you're a new poster. In that regard, hello and welcome. Don't take this response as argumentative, merely a rebuttal. Continue to post, but please have a sense of humor.
"When did Lebron’s hairline decide to move North?"
I think it started when he was in high school. I'm not sure though.
well damn *gucci's voice*
Thank you for saying what I was thinking and a with a lot more tact than I might have been able to muster. I love disagreement with me, but at STFU I was bout to jump across the table.
No problem. Like I said, I can see her point and what she was saying, it was just the delivery that was f*cked up. Disagreeing is one thing, but being insulting while doing it… I can't roll with it.
"The more you shave or wax, the more you leave your skin open to pathogens including sexually transmitted diseases."
Excuse my buffygirlworldmoment but I had no idea that having pubic hair can lower your risk of catching crabs, the clap, oozing, warts and so forth. #1GrownAzzChildLeftBehind
So far 14 other SBM readers have ugly boxes.
#wetcardboard
Let's be honest…. You don't get any type of facetime do you?
"The more you shave or wax, the more you leave your skin open to pathogens including sexually transmitted diseases. Which is one of the reasons why hair is there in the first place."
This is a fact. As much as folks dislike it, public hair does serve as a buffer if you will against STDs that are transmitted skin-to-skin (herpes and HPV specifically). It basically covers parts of the genitalia the condom can't. But I won't start a lecture up in here. Ignorance is bliss right? She was just trying to school you all.
And as for the comment on knowing your partner (implying that you should know whether or not your partner has an STD) – come the f**k on. People cheat all the time. Don't be simple. Further, the very diseases pubic hair offers a modicum of protection against are the same ones folks will have for years and not even know it – so they don't even have to cheat. Why do people keep talking about sex and don't know ish about it?! Better yet, why do people keep having sex and don't know ish about it!? *le sigh*
And the hygiene thing is some bulls**t. It just takes more time. Just like a man who is hairy or uncircumcised. Let's just say, when you have hair, your grooming routine just needs to be more thorough, but it's doable sans smell. If you're lazy, definitely shave.
Of course I meant "PUBIC hair" – pardon the typos
I agree that the hygiene argument is weak. If you're clean, you're clean. Though shaving doesn't imply laziness.
But the protection of pubic hair from STDs is a placebo. The same is that you can get ring worm on your scalp without me touching your scalp directly. The only real protection for STDs is abstinence. Pubic hair (or lack there of) isn't the thing that raises your risk level, its the act itself. FYI for pubic lice (crabs), pubic hair makes a great nest.
As a person who spent his entire college career doing programs and awareness sessions on Sexually Transmitted Infection, Diseases and Virus. Let me just tell you that this is actually false. I know you have good intentions, so no i'm not trying to "bust you out." It's just an opinion that has gone a little too far.
Let me be clear, you raise your chances of catching an STD when you put yourself at risk. Whether it be a hockey rink, or a violent thicket. It's risk. Moreover, people should not be interacting with people who may have an STD. People cheat? Great excuse, but excuse none the less. Put more effort in selecting partners who are safe. That is what I mean by not associating your chances with waxing or not waxing, but associating them with risk. African Americans should look for ways not to find anecdotal ways to prevent themselves from STDs, but by getting to the least common denominator and that is risk.
Lest I hold you too long, I give the same advice to both sexes. Look, see, and pay attention. Now this could be an excellent argument for why you want your partner to wax. You men who shove your ish inside of women without looking are dumb. Take a look at that before you take a stab at it. Same goes for women.
Personally, I still don't think it's invasive to excuse yourself to the bathroom and google every orange bottle or weird looking ointment in that joint. You just looking out for self. (I'm only half serious about this, but I did this one time, because I didn't know what Fluoxetine was, and boy was I happy I did that. I emerged from the bathroom with a "my heart's not in this" mood and got out of there.)
Fluoxetine is an oral drug that is used for treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic attacks, etc.
Wait. Hold Up!!!
But I thought you like Crazy Chicks/Poon? o__o
You See. Ninjas Never Happy. *smh*
Girl… I think men like women who are crazy like, "i'll throw this blow dryer in that shower if you don't tell me why you f*cking that b*tch!"
But when a chick is perfectly normal, maybe a high performer at her firm, and a little too perky all the time, then you find that she's taking that, you get scared. Like freaked out. It's one thing to know that a chick is crazy because she texts you like this:
12:10AM
757: Hey what you doing tonight?
757: ….
757: ?
757: Are you going to respond?
757: Fine, don't respond, i'll just hit another person.
757: Are you ignoring me?
757: It is so NOT that serious! Obviously you can't carry on conversation like an adult. Lose my number don't ever call me anymore. I knew this was only s*x when it began, but I at least expected some RESPECT!
757: I'm sorry. But are you ignoring me?
…12:15AM
202: What's going on, I just got out the show.
That type of crazy is perfectly fine. On the other hand…
12:10AM
703: Can you come over tonight?
703: I'm just feeling like company.
12:15AM
202: I don't know, I have to be at work at 7 tomorrow.
703: That's fine. I was feeling down about something that happened at work and if I don't take my mind off it, i'll kill myself.
This is not cool. And trust me, i've been there. It ain't nice, it ain't even funny, it's downright scary.
757 is perfectly fine?
*blink*
*blink*
Yeah, I'm pretty much gonna be single forever…I can't get with that at all.
*starts shopping for more BOBs to keep me company*
Most people know Fluoxitine by it's Trade Name: Prozac.
Yo fam… they don't prescribe Prozac anymore, that ish is expensive. They prescribe a generic brand. I'm telling you when you come out the bathroom and she's like, "I wasn't going to go through your phone." It is well worth it that you took your phone with you to the bathroom. You can find a lot out about a woman by google'ing her meds.
LOL. I feel you on that. I actually never thought about doing that before… duly noted. BTW, The Fluxo/Prozac comment was just to save other readers a google search.
Note: I did say "a modicum" of protection. Clearly it is negligible, but a buffer nonetheless.
"Moreover, people should not be interacting with people who may have an STD."
The fact of the matter is anyone who is sexually active could (and very likely) has an STD – particularly the most common infections HPV and HSV(herpes). Period. Unless you are a virgin, that means you too. Condoms do not cover everything (um, like your scrotum), and you can contract STDs in these areas and pass them along. Clearly there is plenty of skin slapping together during intercourse and that is all it takes to spread disease. Further, if you shave, you are more likely to have very small openings (cuts etc) in your skin which allow easier access
for viruses.
FACT – There is no way to test/screen men for HPV. Go ahead, men, ask your doctor to test you for HPV and see what s/he tells you. Good luck with that.
FACT – Unless you have requested an "HSV-specific blood test" from your physician, you cannot absolutely say you do not have the Herpes virus.
Asking your doctor for an STD panel does not do the trick as physicians do not routinely screen for herpes and there is no way to screen men for HPV (not even a reliable blood test).
Thus, there are many people walking around – MOST sexually active people (be it with one partner or many) – who have HSV and HPV and do not know it (who erroneously believe they are at less risk because of the number or "type" of partners they've had). You could be one of them. Due to the fact that no HPV screening test for men exists, no man can positively say beyond a shadow of a doubt (again unless they are a virgin who has also never received oral favors) that they don't have HPV. PERIOD
Thus, unless you pick up a low-risk (non cancer-causing) strain of HPV (namely warts), you will never, as a man, know you have it – at least not in the near future.
Further, throat cancer can and does develop due to an infection with HPV in the throat from performing oral sex on women or men (who, again, likely don't know that they have HPV) At least there is the HPV DNA test for women which tests for MOST high-risk HPV strains (not all, there are many).
So, the bottom line is, pubic hair or not, obvious evidence of disease or not (bumps, growths, etc.), EVERYONE should be leery of going down on anyone these days (or engaging in any other sex acts). An inspection of bald genitalia or how many partners someone has had guarantees nothing. As a man, you may assume you're "safe" because your partner had one partner in her life (say, an ex-boyfriend or husband) and you've always used condoms. But if her former partner had other partners (or one partner who had other partners, etc), he could have had HPV and in turn gave it to her who in turn spreads it to your exposed genitalia (eg your scrotum which is not covered by a condom). Your current partner can only assume they know their previous partner's history.
One can never be absolutely sure of their sexual partner's history as all you have is their word.
Grooming is fine…I'm all for it so I co-sign a high bikini wax (at a push a brazilian) but shaving is a no no. Sh*t itches. then there is the likelihood of in-growing hairs. yuck. Ladies don't do it. avoid all things that scratch up against the skin…same reason i dont get the appeal of a vajazzle… each to their own so whatever…
Personally I wax, every 6 weeks but it's never the bald look down there. Why? It's bl00dy painful and I've never known of any requirement to be a sex kitten being based on the condition of having a bald pu$$y…cos apart from babies, the only other group that sports that look on mass is p0rn stars. Since the majority of men aint gonna take a p0rn star as their wifey…I'm saying deal, the hair aint going nowhere…but we will make it look nice for u 😉
Seriously tho, if men are always wanting women to go bald I'm putting it out there that the hairs in a man's private region is jungle. Some of u don't even trim *shivers*… Hate to break it to you guys but Tarzan aint sh*t no more cos jane is now a city girl. So how about guys constantly piping up for the bald kitty look go in for a wax, specifically requesting a 'back, sack and crack' for your ladies.
here's a snippet of what the sack part is about…so you have an idea of what woment go through.. .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0eqJJW3Qos

Lady Ngo: And FTR, i know plenty of dudes that prefer fuzzy/furry to clean shaven
Thats becase they are BEASTS!! lol
Agreed! Shaving is a no-no! It might be more convenient and cheaper but I rather take the waxing route! Less in-growns (which will make the kitty look prettier, lets face it no one wants to see a kitty with dark spots all over it from old in-growns or bumps), last longer and its smoother.
If i have to shave then u need to man-scape, IJS
And FTR, i know plenty of dudes that prefer fuzzy/furry to clean shaven, and plenty of dudes that dont give a damn one way or the other.
I keep the "lil lady" lookin nice and i'll leave it at that.
getting a professional brazilian every 4-6 weeks i can't…still a student with lean pockets, but what i do is i buy the 'DIY-brazilian kit' online and i deal with mine at home…i've had some cosmetology training so it's a breeze for me…shaving big no-no i get razor bumps easy plus i heard one story where some chick accidentally 'cut' herself down there and had to have 'something' sown back on… #shivers
back to lurking…
Sewn back on?! What was she using, a power saw? 0_____o
ouuuuuuch!!!!
i had a friend tell me she accidentally naired it once. yikes.
I Nair mine all the time…You wont burn yourself if you do it right…..Ive never had mine done professionally I always take care of "my girl" myself
You Nair it?!?! I'm too chicken to try that.
At least you didn't try putting relaxer on it like this lady I heard about. Scary.
yeah nair is fine… but not on your "it." lol. have to be very careful where you actually put it. she just got a little overzealous or careless i suppose.
First off…. love the name, love the honesty.
Second… WELCOME!!!! *pops champagne and hairless kitty-shaped confetti*
The hairless cat kind, of course.
Third… I have never had any issues shaving. No razor bumps, itching (probably the frequency with which I do it helps), etc. However, this story has freaked me the f*ck out. I guess I have some decisions to make in my life.
RIGHT! I am wincing.
I'm erm, with the "Bald Kitty" movement I guess. but honestly. Its all about personal choice,
I don't condone that women let a jungle grow down there, but shaving/waxing completely bare is a thought that makes alot of women cringe.
But I think if a Man (Or Woman) would turn down sexual activities from a girl due to their kitty not being completely bald, then to hell with them.
I totally agree with you: Do what works best for you unless you have a partner whose opinion you truly care about, then do that.
This post is funny.
~You wear spanx because hiding your gut makes you look good … right?
No. I don’t wear spanx.
~You put all that weave in your head because it makes you look good … right?
No. I don’t wear weaves.
~You shave all the hair on your upper lip to look better … right?
No. I don’t have visible hair on my upper lip.
~You lie about your age so people think you’re younger … right?
No. I have a sweet, angelic looking face, so there’s no need to lie.
~You hid your birth year on facebook so people think you are younger … right?
No. I don’t have a Facebook account.
I’m all for removing unwanted hair, but I like to do it for myself, not because I want to be a part of the Bald Kitty Movement. Grooming the v*gina can be overwhelming in comparison to a man grooming his p*nis. I’ll get a bikini wax when I’m rockin’ a bikini or monokini, but I’m not interested in my v*gina looking like a bald eagle outside this circumstance. I know you didn’t say anything about waxing, but shaving doesn’t leave a clean look like waxing does. Shaving my legs is great. Shaving my underarms is great. Shaving my v*gina…uhm…no. I shave my legs and underarms; I wax my v*gina; and I thread my eyebrows. Each Woman needs to groom according to the technique that works best for her.

I believe in trimming but definitely not balding. I'm not 6 years old nor do I want to be. Maybe SOME women want to look younger – I just want to look good for my age. I don't see how shaving ones vagina makes him or her look any younger.
But, if you're going to "encourage" women to shave their vaginas, please note that merely shaving your vagina is NOT all that is required. Plenty of these "bald kitty" members are walking around with hairy asses (excuses my language). And that's not sexy. It is all the more reason to simply trim.
LOL @ hairy behinds. ew.
*waves at the homie with the same name as meee*
"Plenty of these “bald kitty” members are walking around with hairy asses (excuses my language)."
When getting a wax, you can tell them to wax the booty crack crack too. A brazilian usually includes that.
Yep anytime I get a brazilian they do the crack too (that just makes me chuckle). I never have to ask, I thought it was standard.
I am definitely with keeping your vajayjay well manicured…I have not yet went completely bald..but, maybe, I will one day….It's on my bucket list of things to do…….
No day like the present
I absolutely agree with going bald… I wouldn't have any other way! I encourage more men to take that route also. I don't know about most women, but a hairless man make my job easier and more encouraging to lick/suck anything he would like.
I am a proud card carrying member of TBKM. Been doing it for 4 years now religiously. I think its more hygienic (sp?) Especially during those summer months whew lawd!!! I can understand why a lot of women would shy away from the waxing –dammit it hurts!! And shaving afterwhile can make the vajayjay skin darker not to mention the itching thtat comes along with it once the new growth starts. I use Magic Shave and it works wonders (no lumps/bumps, etc.) Just use with caution.
Eh, to each her own though.
Are some men really freaked out at the site of a bald box? O__o
I heard about this guy Turtle on TV, he was freaked out by his girlfriend's bald eagle.
I can understand at first glance, providing that ole boy never watch smush movies before, but other than that, I'm still baffled. *Shrug*
*rounds of applause for magic shave*
that stuff is truly magical. ftw.
Isn't it tho?!!!!!
I'm telling you.. once you get past the awful smell it's the bees-nees.
Can you explain how Magic Shave works? Like the cream or the bump fighter stuff?
its a cream you put on your face (PAUSE X 1000). Leave it on and let is harden (no Bukkake) for like 4 mins (no more or you will get skin irritation) Than you remove the paste and the hair with it…either with a spatula or a warm wet cloth.
Gives a real smooth shave. But make sure you get the extra strength one in the gold can, the others will stink up your house.
It's a cream made for men's beard particularly AA men, you spread on your vayjayjay (I insert a tampon- for precautionary measures) you leave it on for like 10mins because pubic hair is more coarser than facial hair then you hop in shower and use a spatula/old credit card, etc.and wipe and the hair LITERALLY comes off.
SN: I personally like removing the hair in the shower and I STRONGLY recommend inserting a tampon before application and using TendSkin the next day on the area.
This is what I truly believe. You know how people blame women for stuff because they let men get away with it. Usually it be about like sleeping with mad women or something. They always say, stop tolerating it and it will stop. It won't, but it's a valiant effort.
I feel that way about the nether regions. If it waxed or shaved to my liking, then I just don't want it. And you know what, I actually stick with this. Panties come off and I'm like, "wow, I guess I won't be needing this today." Now this is how I feel, I understand some guys don't care. That's cool, they should do what works for them.

Cosign. Even I won't deny her the privilege of my d. Just the tongue.
I am also a card carrying member of the BKM and I got my membership by accident. I'm very big on experimenting with grooming techniques, styles etc. So i tried a bikini wax, it was great i loved it
mind u I had shaved before and that ish was itchy and stubbly as a mug. I'v never used veet or anything like that thought because I'm paranoid about that for some reason.One day, I went to my back up kitty groomer because my main lady was booked and I was going out of town. Next thing I know there was more pain then usual. She must have misheard me (or was trying to get more money out of me) and was doing a full brazilian. Long story short I loved it and now i'm a believer. I think I might switch to the playboy wax but we'll see. Number one on my bucket is the laser hair removal… Maybe after graduation.
Now i must say, hair in your mouth is absolutely no fun! I love having man-parts in my mouth more than the average, but I always have to psych myself up first if there hair. Man-scaping is a must! If I can do it, you can do it, I'll even take you to my lady and hold hand through the whole process.
GREATEST BLOG OF ALL TIME!
I think SBM already covered that a man will still have s*x with you whether it's shaved or not so I'm not sure that's a strong counter argument @ some of the ladies. A man would have s*x with a doll if it wasn't frowned upon by society
and some still do.Anyway, I like mine served bald but as long as they're presentable I'm game. I've only met one girl, black or otherwise, who didn't shave or even trim. It was quite traumatic but somehow I persevered. I also do a little manscaping myself. I hit the fellas with a cesar fade and a taper about once or month a so. See ladies, WIM and Tupac care even if no one else cares.
#Plug: I also wrote a post on this topic before, inspired by something Dr.J wrote about Kim Kardashian… http://www.wisdomismisery.com/2010/08/30/commenta…
WIM, I'm so glad that you and Tupac both care! It makes me want to say *woo woo woo* – sigh *woo woo woo* – BTW that was the best Tweet ever! LOL
Used to be part of the Bald Kitty Movement for years, (brazillians hurt like mutha) now part of the groomed kitty committee. Anywho my question is for the fellas: If you prefer your lady groomed a certain way, (bald, landing strip, whatevs) and she doesnt want to do for time sake or whatnot, would you do it for her?
I gotta wax down under before. I was nervous so I told the lady to do a landing strip b/c I figured it would be less painful. Her response: You really don't have much to begin with. That wouldn't make sense. So I got everything waxed. Wasn't bad. But I lie to you not, my ish didn't grow back until sometime in the fall….I got that joint in the summer. *shrugs* I don't really care about waxing and all that ish b/c I'm not hairy. I'll be 29 next week and I've never shaved my legs.
More power to all the other ladies though!
**extreme jealousy sprinkled all up and throughout this comment**
i swear i'm an indian, italian and german woman combined when it comes to hair factor. people are always amazed at how fast and how much hair grows on my scalp. the problem is… the hair ERRWHERE else does the same thing. le sigh. lucky girl. lol
Ha! The hair on my scalp (thank goodness) is the only place where it grows at a consistent rate,lol
What are you, perfect?
Bet it taste like Butter too..
*dead* LOL! Def not perfect…just lucky in that department I suppose
Don't let her lie to you CHeeKZ, she's pretty durn near perfect. Like if perfect is the NBA Playoffs, she's March Madness…
@Star
Thank you, thank you. You're far too kind. *Jay-Z voice*
But seriously, I appreciate the love guys….ya'll make me blush
I don't have to shave either and have never done it . My father is incapable of growing a beard and my 20 yr old brother has never grown an ounce of facial hair.
In my opinion, it doesn't have to be completely bald, but in the words of Prince Akeem to Mr. Clarence, "just make it nice and neat!"
Yes. That's all.
And for those that want to shave it.
In the words of Clarence the Barber
"What you want to make your hair look like that for?" ROFL
I believe in a bald p*ssy, but I also believe that a man can only insist on it if his parts are shaved clean as well. So SBM since I've not seen your nuts I'm going to assume in good faith that your ish is bald as a whistle and not take issue with this post.
i support the BKM!!
but i do not support that picture. that cat look scary.
Completely FREAKED. ME. OUT!

Trying to look younger?………Really…….I've never been a women but I'm guessing only a 10 year old has a no hair in that area.
Someone please explain to me how wanting your women to have a va@ina that resembles a 10 year old is normal.

I can't answer this because I have never heard wanting to look like a 10yr or Prepubescent Teenager being the reason for a woman waxing/shaving. It's usually the general consensus that it's more hygenic, more ventilation during the hot sticky summer months, and it just looks purrtyy. Not to mention some woman HAVE to do it because they have some gray strands down there as well.
Ay I'm just quotin what R Kelly….I mean SBM said. Shavin makes you look younger ROFL…OMG where's Chris Hanson.
Anyhooo, I am an activist for the Bald [insert cute name for male nether region here] Movement! Hairy men disgust me. #thatisall
I'm conflicted with this… I'm in total support of the bald kitty, in theory (totally blushing for even typing this, btw). I've done it a few times, and I love the way it feels- double entendre unintended- however, my lady flower is an incredibly sensitive being. She requires fragrance-free, dye-free, hypo-allergenic products to be a happy girl; so in addition to spending $30 a pop on 12ozs of oatmeal body cleansers, I'm also pretty cautious when it comes to putting candle making materials or depiliatory creams between her… well, just between HER. I'm single (and abstinent, womp womp) so for now, I employ the minimalist-as-possible approach, but when I do get married, it'll be something up for consideration for my husband and me.
We can stay with minimalism, and he can play with it whenever he wants, however he wants, or he can demand bare kitty, kitty will break, and we'll both be sitting around LOOKING at a very non-sociable animal… Tough one.
Do your thang don't be scurred!!
Good luck with them razor bumps.
Black people shouldn't be putting razors on any part of their body. I've known two dudes that have had surgeory for ingrown hairs. Because razors cut hair below the skin line.
So pu$$y may look cute for a few months. Then the skin starts looking rough and gettin bumps.
Look….natural and trim is the way to go. If you want it to look good. Purchase a pair of fade clippers and a pair of outline clippers.
Cut the hair low with the fade clippers. And shape it up with the outline clippers.
Thats how you make you ish look pretty and natural. Razors are just stupid.
As for you dudes shaving. ROFL I aint got no words. Dat ish is just funny to me. Statistics show 9 out of 10 real ni@@az don't shave. Where did I get that stat? From the ASRN…the American Society of Real Ni@@az…..of which no one here is a member.
Skinny Jeans, Random Oral, P@nis Shaving….ROFL…..what has become of the youth?
LOL I shave my face all the time with a razor. No razor bumps to be found. Personally, I'm not taking a razor south of the equator because, well, that's not an area I want knicked. With that I will say that I'ma keep my Tom Dick a little less Harry (see what I did there). Now if that makes me less a real ninja, so be it. But I know when I unzip my pants I won't be hearing the opening scene to the Lion King either. I want my peen to look welcoming to the fairer sex, a place that says "Step up to mic" not "Welcome to the Serengeti". #kanyeshrug

What trips me out is that the pants are so skinny they can't even pull them up over their butt. ROFL
I have to nosign the no trimming. Trimming is just another level of proper grooming. Now dudes who Bald down there…. thats ANOTHER issue. Im not going to be wolfing in my netheregions for fear of not being a "Real Negro". Ill be Real groomed and real fresh instead, lol
Agreed. Then again, being a "Real Ni@@a" is not something I strive for – Succesful Black Male
WIM I love you for this.
Love that!! I don't like when men refer to themselves at "real ni@@as"……just doesnt sound like someone I want in my life
Wait. what's wrong with random oral?
Does this mean something different to the youth than it does to the ASRN, SBM and C2C (crime-to-corporate) men of America?
il Duce can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll share what I believe he was communicating…
Randomly performing oral s.ex on your significant other is the business.
Randomly performing oral s.ex on a jump off is NOT the business.
Your list of bangs may be long like this ____________________________________________ .
But, your list of munches should be short like this ______ .
If you don't eat box, I don't see why you expect me to even entertain your opinion. If I have to put my damn face in something (and you know I have a small tongue, so I have to ACTUALLY PUT MY FACE ALL UP IN THERE) I think the LEAST you can do is create a surface area that is condusive with the activity we are performing.
These chickens are talking about natural. The Oral Intensity performance isn't natural. My face wasn't designed to be soiled. What I look like rubbing my freshly washed mugg against some brillo pad. Not the move.
You have to adjust and adapt your chex game to get the best performance from your body. Increasing the surface area makes touching more intense. Your hair won't get you to clim@x.
I feel very passionately about this issue…. and Yes for the record. I pratice what I preach.

**Breaking News** It's just hair! **Breaking News**
Am I really supposed to believe yall are good in the sack. Sound a little timid to me.
I'm all for the BKM, Brazilian-style. It hurts like a mofo the first time…..it'll have you speaking in tongues and putting word combinations together that you didn't know existed, BUT after the first time, it's smooth sailing…so to speak. The pain is worth the pleasure.
And yes, I need a man to be doing some man-scaping too… #hairball (yuck!)
When it comes to a womans pubic region I like it like Prince Hakeem likes his haircut "Just make it nice and neat"
Preach, S/O to the BKM society.
I won't be disclosing my personal grooming procedures, lol. However, I will say that I think that grooming private areas…for both men and women…should be MANDATORY! Especially a woman at the pool/beach/etc…c'mon son?!
I'd question a man who is completely bald in his most sacred area though (with the exception of the T's, lol…they can be bald), lol. Doesn't seem manly to me AT ALL!
The smell of ungroomed places on the basketball court or upon your return from the basketball court…especially on a hellish summer day…is just…just…not right. At all, LOL!
And, am I the only woman grossed out when a man lifts his arms and reveals…DEODORANT BALLS dangling from the hairy forest growing from his arm pits???? Just gross, Fellas. Just gross! And, any woman who is guilty of this offence is WAY out of order…cause her grown behind should know better.
I personally get a Brazillian wax job every 4 -6 weeks. Ugh the hair is annoying. I like the Brazillian over shaving because it gets all hair you can not shave due to sensitive parts if you know what I mean. I have gotten 4 of my girlfriends to do it and they love it…So do their men… My man shaves also (he doesnt have a problem with it at all)… if u know what I mean and why..lol Just keepin it real.
Before I read everyone's responses…. this applies to men too. If you want us speaking into the mic, how about reducing the hair so we can see where we are going and makes inpections of the dome and shaft much faster and easier. And no I don't need organic floss the one I use is just fine! You must past inspection and have the necessary paperwork in order to proceed. If your paperwork is out dated you will be sent for retesting and must wait for results.
I 'bout died when I saw organic floss…lol
As a member of the "Do You Really Expect Me to Eat That" club, I support bald meow.
Hair tickles my nose and makes me wanna sneeze.
How about you do it cause he likes it? Plain and simple. I mean I could sit here psychoanalyzing stuff and going on feminist rants (if this occurs in your relationship, you have deeper issues than a fuzzy chocha) — but I'd rather be getting serviced with enthusiasm. He loves it, no real drawbacks on my end, game on. Good day.
I have to admit that I agree with this. If THE MAN THAT YOU LOVE (not some random yo) asks you to or suggests that you do it, I really don't see why he shouldn't be obliged. BUT, he should also be willing and prepared to pay for the upkeep…since it's for HIM. 😉
"If I want it, i'll pay for it." — I can go for this compromise. My chick has a Pre-Tax Reimbursement Form that she can fill out for things like waxing, mani/pedis, and tanning.
Pre-Tax though?!
LOL…
C'mon son?!

honestly, i've sampled shaved, to bald, to bushy. i really don't have a preference as long as its neat. actually i'm lying, i'd prefer it not be bushy. shaved or bald please.
like lina said. hair traps moisture and moisture brings odor. i think everyone should trim down there but that's just me.
I support the BKM. I also hate the tedious Task if shaving. Thank baby Jesus for a part time job at a day spa, an aesthetician homegirl who doesn't charge. Every 4-6 weeks like clockwork.
Likewise, the fellas should shave their, um, "area". Nobody wants to put their face down their in your forest. At least trim the ish! Dudes in the p*rnos do it. Get it together.

Ahh, so nice to see how the generation raised on internet p*rn is progressing.
Your daddy and grand-daddy had no problems going down there. But you – it's really too much for you too handle? You are so turned off by that hair you can't eat out? Really?
My ob-gyn mentioned she is starting to see some scary things down there on young women. Nicks, cuts, burns, and ultimately SCARS. Yep, you ladies have got to be careful. Hairy p*ssy may be uncomfortable (mostly for whiny boys who major c*m experience was online before they had their first real female), but scarred p*ssy, well, I can't imagine a bigger turn- off.
FACT – You are more prone to STDs and other infections when you're bare down there. To suffer pain for complete removal, it's not worth it.
For those ladies who complain about odor – CHANGE YOUR DIET. Drink water, lay off soda, fried foods and heavy carbs. Your diet has a direct impact on bodily secretions, people truly underestimate this. My boyfriend told me he can tell what I ate sometimes when he went down there. Complaints about stronger odors and sweat, which is legitimate, is more related to today's diet of excess sugar, fried foods, excess starch, rather than p*bic hair.
Anyhoo, another day, another sexist rant from SBM. After your Rihanna masterpiece, I thought your next post would be on that hoe-bag Ashley Judd, who unleashed great insult and detriment to black men world-wide. I'm sure you're working hard on it right now, we can probably expect it to see it next week. Looking forward to it…
Just to clarify, SBM (the writer) wrote this post while Dr. J wrote the Rihanna post.
Also, I'm really unclear how anything in this post was sexist. SBM wrote HIS opinion on a shaved kitty cat and pointed out how silly some of the reasons that women come up with not to. Now, I'm not advocating for the naked kitty phenomenon, I'm just saying that this was meant to be a humorous post expressing his opinion. This isn't gospel. There are ways to disagree/dispute that opinion without opening your comment up with an insult to not only the writer, but the commenters who dare to agree.
SN: There are obviously quite a few folks out there using that like button freely without dropping any comments. Nothing wrong with that, but I do get curious when I see a large number of likes and nobody speaking their mind. Can you guys share why you do/do not disagree when you do this in the interest of quenching my curiousity?

That is NOT a fact my lady. Correlation doesn't imply causation, unless women ooze white blood cells, bacteriophages, and amoebas from their public hairs. I dare say though, if the STD is all up in your hair then it's it's likely it's in you as well.
pubic*
Thank You! I'm so tired of seeing all this fear mongering/false information being passed off as fact. Unless you're sexing someone up with oozing, weeping, active herpes simplex B or genital warts and you have broken skin at the same time your chances are NO DIFFERENT. I will say it's not recommended to shave your junk and have sex immediately afterward (increased likelihood of broken skin) but stop acting like your pubic hair is some kind of magic carpet (pun intended) that stops STDs from infecting your genitals.
If you disagree please refer me to source of information.
"but stop acting like your pubic hair is some kind of magic carpet (pun intended) that stops STDs from infecting your genitals."
Ugh… From Your Lips to HIS Ears….. #thatisalll
I find it hard to believe that if I'm getting down with a man thats got the herps, I won't catch it simply because I have hair and not bald O__o Last time I checked, hair wasn't some magical force field that protected against everything!
My ish is glorious in it's natural form………apearantly yall all have the genital wolfman gene. ROFL
I've been bald and I'll be again for the summer. Mostly though, I prefer to just keep it low cut, a nice close shave. I have a nice pair of trimmers that are easy to handle, and work very well. And its cheaper. For some reason, it is pricey to get a good wax here. I hate that my old aesthetician closed up shop. Gotta find a new one before Memorial Day.
However, I do this for me, not for men. A man hasn't seen my goodies in a minute, so I could give 2 effs what he prefers. Now, if I'm in a relationship, he never has to worry about a bush because I never keep a bush. The grass is always cut low.
esthetician*
What city are you in?
Don't ask me why I know how to spell that.
You sure about that spelling? I won't ask. lol. Raleigh, You have any references?
Raleigh, NC … man the slickest thing you going to find out there is probably the bowling alley in Durham. But what I will say is that some of the best places are on college campuses. You've got girls coming from all over the country and they actually have more practice. Check over at State they probably have a few places that chicks go there. Nowadays you can Yelp even your waxing salons.
Yeah, sure about the spelling. I was actually going to take the class at one point and become certified. Most people go to waxing technicians, they don't have a cetification only training. They make like $20/hour. But with the certification, you can charge like $55 for a full Brazilian in some cities. Most estheticians make like $80-100/hour. That's good guap. I'm also interested in opening my own waxing and tanning salon, profit margin is just too good to be true. And well, there's some fringe benefit, lol.
@Nia It comes down to British vs. American spelling but you can use either. How much are they charging you for it? I find the prices here in NYC to be from $40-75 or so.
@Dr Jay They DO make a lot of money. I managed a spa and the therapists took away 45% from every client they saw. If they also had something set up on their own, then they were making serious paper. Knowing how to speed wax is also huge because you can double the clientele.
$55?!?! I've never seen a brazilian for that in DC. Everything I see is atleast $70
hit me offline for places in DC. DrJayJack@gmail.com. I know a few places. Anywhere from like $35-$53. The $53 spot is in Friendship Heights, but it's a good look.
FUN FACT:
Esthetician and Aesthetician are both skin care specialists, both spellings are accepted. Esthetician is the American spelling (and is most common) while the other is the European spelling.
The term "Esthetician" is seen more when talking about those who work in spas and salons.
You see the term "Aesthetician" more when referring to a Medical Aestheticians, who typically work in medical settings…hospitals, burn units, trauma centers, reconstructive surgery centers and other healthcare facilities.
Thanks! I wouldn't mind you dropping a fun fact on us every day. #themoreyouknow

I don't know if there will ever be a general consensus on this topic because 1. people will always have preferences and 2. there are too many options in 2011.
I also won't divulge my grooming habits 😉 but I will echo the sentiment on hair and sexual health. The hair down there does protect agaisnt bacteria and some diseases..the same way the hair in your nose can help prevent your catching a cold.
In general my only thing is keeping it neat. That may mean a complete waxing or a low shave. I'm not about complete shaving – that's how you get the scars someone mentioned earlier. Also, I'm all about talking to your partner and seeing what makes both of you happy 🙂

Surprise, surprise…the first generation raised on internet, radio and TV p@rn thinks that shaving genitals, giving oral sex to random ufck buddies and @jaculating on a women't face is normal sexual activity. Things only a prostitute or p@rn star would do 20 years ago.
And yes…the hair protects you from disease. And yes….the shaving and waxing will mess your skin up.
But anyway…..
But I just can't tell where you stand on the issue though il Duce…I wish you'd restate your opinion a few more times to make it clearer…

I obviously need a man…#FeelinALilCatty
What is normal sexual activity? What is normal? Who are we to say what's normal sexual activity?
Beyond that, culture evolves. If it didn't, we'd all be slaves.
Soooo, can we assume that you are into "shaving genitals, giving oral sex to random ufck buddies and @jaculating on a women’t face"?
😉
Just kidding Mama! I "liked" your comment. Normal schmormal.
you did and I think I agreed with you then on the pr0n culture. surprised that more people don't make that connection, but anywho I'm a sociology is what I do. There are also a few other theories I have about sexuality today and pr0n but this isn't the place to discuss those things…
culture evolves yes but equating grooming to slavery, Sane? hmm.

Mabyl: Ahh, so nice to see how the generation raised on internet p*rn is progressing. Your daddy and grand-daddy had no problems going down there. But you – it’s really too much for you too handle? You are so turned off by that hair you can’t eat out? Really?P>
Excuse me, what do you know about my father or my mother's bush?
There is no logical reason for me to be bound by the romantic restrictions of the past. I don't know what time period you are from, you dinosaur, but internet vidoes have done wonders to the chex lives of my generation. Teaching us tips, secrets, and exposing us to new glories our parents have yet to know.
How many people know if their parents even give top? You can't tell me Ron Jeremy is a better lover than Justin Slayer. Justin, my mentor, is aerodynamic. Woman Climax's were considered a myth back in the day… Why? B/C no one could find the love button under all that hair!
Yeah yo… and back in the day Goodyear made condoms!
And now it's time for the daily Dr. J — Yeah, she's bugging!

LUIMC (laughed uncontrollably in my cubicle)!!!!!!! I can't co-sign the entire post…cause I don't do p*rn at all…but that line reduced me to tears, LOL! Out of control…yet, funny!!!
We can't win – I didn't read all the comments but DAMNG (damn and dang) LOL
Some men like em bald some men like hair – I keep a strip just in case that way everyone is satisfied LOL
A landing strip is always nice!
It funny because I don't really get hairy down there and when I do, I just trim it a little. My boyfriend finally told me a week ago that he wants me to shave it all off after we have been together for 1 year. I was like wtf? But i dont have a beard, never had one becuz i dont really get hairy again I say. But it's interesting that you this because I believe you. Why do men think its cool rub they ruff ass beard on our cootchies when givin us head?
I'm going to go ahead and say that if this is your main concern instead of actually getting laid, then you're going to need to re-evaluate your sexual priorities. I'm all for grooming but I'll be damned if I'm going to be lectured for not going completely bald. Chances are, if the sex is worth a damn, he/she won't care.
He will care, sex can be good but if thats something your man ask of you it shouldnt be disregarded because sex is good! cuz when sex gets bad or just ok and you realize you need to do something to spice it up he may not even notice that you have shaved!
stop CRYIN broads and use CLIPPERS.
no bumps, less hair, you can keep the hair as low as you want or shaven OFF.
I feel you on the P****y shaving! I have mentioned it to my gf hell I even offered to do it for her! She seems highly opposed to it! Its crazy how women change all of the other things but think you want to go hunting for the wet spot!
As a woman, I only want hair in two places – my scalp and brow. Take it off ladies! It's wonderful in the summer.
