LUUUUUV stories

When I had just returned from Germany, I was like 13 or 14, I started this long distance relationship with this guy from India. This is before I knew Indians and Pakis infested Yahoo. Anyway, it lasted for like 7 months, and we wrote letters back and forth. He sent me an Indian doll for my birthday (the first present I ever received from a guy.) We broke up because he lied to me about something I can't even remember. The end.
 
Whenever I say sloppy seconds, in my mind the announcer voice from Street Fighter goes "Round two. FIGHT!"
 
According to Schick's marketing research, during the Valentine's season, U.S. pubic hair removal rates briefly approach those of Brazil, traditionally the smoothest country on the planet. While Americans seem willing to chop it all off for their annual celebration of romance, personal trimming still varies by season, and plummets to levels almost as low as Greece's during the week of Thanksgiving.

"If I trim the shrubs, the tree looks bigger," said Jeremy Wertz of Boise, ID, standing in front of his hall mirror with a pair of scissors taken from his employer's supply closet. "See? Worth the itching, if you ask me."

While many consider the practice a time-honored tradition, not all Americans share Wertz's enthusiasm.

"I'm not going to let corporate America dictate the date or time at which I choose to groom my genitals," said Denver resident Marcus Shannon, adding that Valentine's Day was "invented by the razor industry" to sell grooming devices. "If you really love somebody, you should shave your pubes year-round."

Meanwhile, National Depilatory Council director Donna Spaulding said the sudden nationwide surge in follicular concern is understandable, but she urged caution.

"We all want to look good and feel desirable, but it's important to keep things in perspective," Spaulding said. "In the end, you want people to love your pubic region for what's inside, not just for how it looks."
