Far too many shaven models
-
Dear all, it is now almost impossible for me to find porn movies that I want to watch, because all new videos are all fully shaven. With no exceptions. I frequently download a torrent - and then have to delete it as it is ruined by this - and it had not been obvious from the initial pictures that the models were not natural looking with respect to their pubic hair. As far as I can see this fetish is only enjoyed by paedophiles - and I am not one - who like adult men to look like pre-pubescent boys. What a shame all the new videos have this flaw.

"What a shame all the new videos have this flaw."
In recent decades there has been a clear trend in the sex media towards less hair. Looking specifically at gay porn you see a lot of hair through the 70s and 80s; then starting around the 90s to the present you see a steady trend toward less and less hair.
My guess is that this trend in porn is heavily influenced by the exact same trend over those same years in the public sector with regards to shaving acceptance. This must be due to our changing ideas about what’s public and what’s private. The concept of nudity in today's society is less private than it used to be.
When women’s clothing began showing bare arms and legs in the 1920s, leg and underarm shaving followed soon after. So nowadays even though not every woman shaves their legs and armpits, most do. As nudity continues to be more of a public thing in today's world — nude beaches, nudity in film — I’m not surprised to see that trend accelerating…. it’s probably here to stay. :cool2:

...Your conclusion is not only absolutely wrong, it's even quite an insult, calling ppl pedophile, only because they might prefer less, or even no pupic hair.
I wonder when your last turn to a striptease bar was, or when you last visited a sauna or a place where nudists meet, because if this would have been during the last 5 to 10 years, you would have noticed, that more than 75 percent shave or trimm their pubic hair and hopefully you are not calling them all pedophiles. I for myself trimm my pubic hair now for over 25 years, not only because of a "fresher look", but as well because of cleanliness reasons.If you have a fetish for "unshaved pubic hair", please stop at least insulting the ones, who don't have this fetish.
Asian porn mostly have models with "natural growing" pubic hair, while most of the porn industrie prefers shaved or trimmed pubic hairs. Call it "development" or something similar, like you mostly don't see men with really long hairs any more, as you might have found them during the 70s - likes and dislikes change within the years and sometimes come back.

It's personal preference. Personally I've no preference either way (a cock is a cock) but it's a fair point that the majority of films have shaved/trimmed guys.

And seeming to confirm my assertion that today's societal concept of nudity is changing, was this article in yesterday's New York Times:
Shirtless Goes the City
By Guy Trebay of The New York Times
July 31, 2013California strikes. Manhattan is becoming Malibu. Once, in the long-gone “Mad Men” days, it was considered de rigueur for New Yorkers to wear a hat and gloves in town. Now dress codes have devolved to the point where folks wear fleecy slippers on the subway, flip-flops to the ballet, running tights for every occasion, repurposed pajamas as daywear and, recently, very little at all.
We are referring here to a curious trend among men in the city to go walking about without shirts. Note, for instance, recent tabloid pictures showing Orlando Bloom strolling through TriBeCa with his dog on a leash and son in a stroller. The British actor was dressed in shower shoes, a baseball cap and cargo shorts slung low enough to brand-check his red briefs and to see a solar tattoo inked south of his navel. And that was about all.
Sure it was hot. Temperatures had been hovering in the 90s for seven days running. Furnace blasts radiated off sidewalks. To stand on a subway platform felt like getting too close to a Weber grill. Naked above the waist, Mr. Bloom was doing what a sensible person might to stay cool, if that person lived on the Pacific Coast Highway and was headed to Malibu Country Mart for an iced cappuccino. But Mr. Bloom was not in the 90265 ZIP code. And historically, inhabitants even of laid-back 10013 have not been in the habit of walking around semi-naked. Those were the old days, a time before everywhere one went in the city men saw men who’d lost their shirts.
There, on Bastille Day, was a shirtless guy checking out the windows at Bergdorf Goodman; there, on Lafayette Street one Tuesday morning, ambled a shirtless shopper hauling Urban Outfitter bags; there, on the R train, was a rider wearing nothing but jeans and sandals; there, on Astor Place, a cluster of topless men flaunting their abs and pecs.
“I was on my way to the bank and I saw not one, not two, but three guys” walking shirtless across Eighth Street, said Rob Morea, a personal trainer and an owner of Great Jones Fitness in NoHo. As might be expected of someone in his line of work, Mr. Morea’s own physique resembles that of a bendable action figure. Despite that, he would never go shirtless in New York, he said. “It doesn’t feel right. It’s like going to a business meeting in your underwear.”
It is all a predictable part of the dressing-down of America, said Patricia Mears, deputy director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. “It’s great we live in a democratic society, but we’ve lost all sense of decorum and occasion,” Ms. Mears said. “To be on Fifth Avenue is now about the same as being on the Coney Island boardwalk.” To display your unclad torso on Fifth Avenue is also, she added, to give proof of the proposition that in the evolutionary arc of masculinity, men are no longer the oglers; they are the object of the gaze.
Signs of this are everywhere: on Broadway, where male frontal nudity is now so commonplace it evokes fewer cries of outrage than yawns; on television, where bare-chested male stars are standard fare both on shows like “Hawaii Five-O,” where shirtless himbos might be expected, and on series like “Chicago Fire”; and in advertising, where male pulchritude is used to hawk everything from Diet Coke to salad dressing.
And yet what’s disorienting about all the peekaboo, said Ms. Mears, is “a blurring of lines,” of decorum and the demarcation between public and private space, lines crossed long ago in places like Southern California, where sweat pants are more common than suits and no one thinks twice about wearing a bikini to go to the mall. “Reality TV has had an effect here,” Ms. Mears said. “I don’t know if there’s much distinction anymore between what you see on television and what we used to call reality.”
In her own New York childhood, the only acceptable urban setting for a shirtless man might have been a city beach, Ms. Mears, 52, added. Certainly in an era that now seems definitively kaput, it would have been unthinkable for a man in possession of his senses to walk up Madison Avenue, New York’s great retailing rialto, shirtless on a Friday afternoon. Yet there on a recent steamy day was Jean-Luc Constant, a boxer and model, standing bare-chested outside the Ralph Lauren store. If Mr. Constant’s state of semi-undress did provoke some perplexity among passers-by, he himself was fully nonchalant.
“Maybe it’s because of my profession,” he said. “I don’t really mind being naked at all.”

I think because a lot of gay porn models in California, also want to be legitimate models, and actors, they shave down because that is the current trend in hollywood. I think because a lot of them are body builders and fitness fanatics, they all shave everything.
I agree with you though, I love an all natural bush.

As for my tastes- hair is part of a man's identity. Generally, women are "hairless", except of course on their heads, while a sexy may IS hairy.
Starting with the bottom, hairy legs are a must. A thick coat of black fur on the leg gets me up. Following up to framing the fun-stick, again abundant fur is called for. Same with the back door crack.
A strip of fur extending from just below the neck to the crotch is another delite.
A lateral patch across the chest- yum.
And last, the armpits. A delicious wad of black fur in the armpit is a signal to me that i want to plant my face there.
Call this one big vote for HAIRY MEN.

Well, yes, but I honestly think that many men take it way too far. In both directions.
I remember very distinctly a piece of commentary that went "It's just a beard, it's not a lifestyle".
That kind of sums it up for me, living in an area where beards and facial hair are close to a religion. I absolutely do not have anything against facial hair, as long as it suites the man who is wearing it. It's that point that I think got lost in both the facial and pubic hair discussions.
Both are personal grooming choices that should be made individual men based on what fits them best. There isn't a right or a wrong, there is just what men do to look their best and feel their best.
Call this one big vote for HAIRY MEN.
I personally agree with this up to a point. My preference is for men who have some fur on them, however I'm not looking for a gorilla or man who can't groom himself (and yes, that might include some minimal trimming.) However, that's my opinion and my criteria. I can't bring myself to insist that all men follow it for any reason. There are plenty of guys out there, and I don't really want them all to be interchangeable. Diversity is fun.
Similarly, I totally get that there are people who have fetishes for totally smooth guys and those who have fetishes for totally untrimmed guys. But one is not more right than the other. This is where I think Hollywood and mainstream media goes too far much of the time. There just isn't one way "right" way to be masculine. There is just the way that works for each individual guy out there.
