... It hadn't been more then two days after "the night of the trimming" when Bud approached Sam after dinner and homework. Brad had gone to his room to play computer games or something and Alicia was either in her room doing the same or with Brad. Bud found Sam reading by the empty fire place.

... "Mom?"

... "Yeah, what's up?"

... "Uhm, I was wondering, I noticed today that you and Alicia, uh ... "

... "Shaved our pubic hair?"

... Bud nodded vigorously.

... So much for keeping our legs closed. "And you want to know why?"

... This time Bud managed a shrug and wobble of the head.

... "Uhm, I ordered Alicia a new bikini, after you all did such an number on the old one." Bud tried to look guilty but he wanted to laugh. "And well the new bikini is going to be a lot smaller between the legs so rather then have her hair hanging out everywhere I showed her how to trim it."

... Bud gave a slow nod. Sam knew this wasn't the end of it because he could have figured this much out for himself in another day or two. "Uhm, but, is the bikini going to show-"

... "No, the bikini is not going to show Alicia's whole labia. We got a little carried away and shaving a larger area is easier then shaving a small area."

... "Uhm." More nodding. "Is that why a lot of girls, shave their uh, labias?"

... "No, its not." She sure was diving off the pier now. "If you go back looking at old Playboys or what ever, maybe it would be easier to look at the website. Anyway you'll see, all the way back to the fifties that women tend to keep their pubic hair trimmed to stay inside their swimsuit suntan. So yes, women have trimmed their pubic hair for years and years to make sure it didn't show around their swimsuits.

... "And if you go looking back like that you can see how the shape and size of a "typical" woman's pubic hair changed as the shape of swimsuits changed. When thongs came in, pubic hair got to be long and thin. And now that thongs are smaller, well, pubic hair is smaller too."

... Bud was nodding again. "But I've seen pictures of girls with no suntan marks and now hair on their ... labia's. And sometimes a woman with no hair at all."

... "What's up with that?"

... Bud nodded.

... "Well, you're right, they aren't shaving their pubic hair to keep it inside their swimsuits. You have to be wearing a really small G string or thong to need to actually shave some or all of your labia. You can usually get way with just trimming with nail scissors. But like I said, Alicia and I got a little carried away and we shaved off a lot more then we really needed to."

... "Why?"

... "Good question. The simple answer is that a girl's labia is really tender so you have to be careful, its the same type of skin as your scrotum. So imagine trying to shave that. First you just want to shave the sides but where do you stop. Well some where before where Alicia and I did."

... More nodding. "But you said that girls weren't shaving off their hair to stay in their swimsuits?"

... "Okay, you're right. But that's what Alicia and I were doing. What the other girls are doing is ... Well you know what a blowjob is?"

... "Uh huh."

... "Well in addition to what it is in a technical sense ... Okay, the opposite of a blowjob is called cunnallings or going down on a girl and it is the most incredible sexual feeling a girl can have. At least as popular with girls as blowjobs are with guys. But girls complain because guys don't go down on them often enough. There are a variety of reasons for this but one is that a girl's lover can't go down on her without getting hair in their mouth."

... "Unless she shaves it off?"

... "Right, so, women who shave the hair off their labia's and keep it shaved off are trying to encourage their lovers to go down on them. Okay?"

... "Okay."

... Whew, made it through that one.

... "Does dad go down on you?"

... Oops, thought too soon. "Uh, Bud, you know I don't like to get too detailed in what your dad and I do?"

... "Uh huh." But he wasn't letting her off the hook either. And what was Sam going to do about the fact that she'd had a hairy pussy for almost three years and now if she let it grow in again he'd know what they weren't doing? And, she'd just said it was the best thing a guy could do for a girl?

... "There are a lot of reasons why a couple might not do this, even though I said it is generally considered by women to be the best feeling in sex. Some women are way too sensitive. Did you know that though the clitoris is only like an inch long it has as many nerve endings and a six inch penis?"

... Bud shook his head.

... "And unlike a penis which sits in your pants, rubbing against your shorts and stuff, getting desensitized a clitoris has a special little compartment to sit in where nothing touches it. So some women, their clitoris are so sensitive that they can't take a guy putting his tongue on it or anywhere around it.

... "Some women have hang ups and don't feel comfortable with someone's head between their legs. Some women don't like the trouble of keeping their labia's clean shaven. Guys generally think shaving their faces is a pain, well imagine shaving your balls everyday. Really a pain. And some other women can't take how sensitive their skin gets to everything. And I'm not even talking about the clitoris now, I'm just talking about the skin of the labia.

... "And still other guys like girls with hair on them and don't mind pushing hair out of their mouths. So the fact that a girl doesn't shave her labia doesn't mean she's not getting any."

... Bud nodded but Sam had a feeling he'd seen right through her explanation. "What about blowjobs?"

... "What about them?"

... "Do you give dad blow jobs? Does the hair get in your way?"

... Big sigh. "Hair doesn't get in your way so much when you're going down on a guy because hair doesn't grow on the end of a penis and men usually have less hair then women. Half as many follicles actually. But yeah, if you want to lick a guy's balls or if he wants you to take all of him in your mouth, the hair gets in the way. But ... girls don't complain as much as guys do."

... That seemed to have answered all of Bud's questions for the moment, but she had landed near a theme close to her heart. "Did you know that girls have a much better sense of smell, and therefore taste, then guys do?"

... Bud shakes his head, no.

... "Its true. So, if something tastes or smells just a little off to you, you can bet it smells twice as off to a girl. Which is why girls, particularly moms, are all ways after guys to bath. You may not be able to smell yourself but we sure can smell you. And that's also why it is so awful that guys put on way too much cologne. We can smell it, okay. We can smell it before you can smell it. We could smell it if you just used the smallest amount. I don't know how many men I've met who made me feel like choking and my eyes like burning because they use so much cologne. Usually a nice bar soap in the shower is enough. We can smell that. Stop there."

... Bud was smiling, enjoying Sam's rant. But he wasn't going to let Sam off the hook. "Do you like giving blowjobs?"

... Sigh. "Like? I like them because your father likes them. I like making him feel good."

... "But the hair?"

... "Only half as much and not near the important stuff, and men are now shaving their pubic hair just like women and for the same reason."

... "But, what if he comes in your mouth?"

... Oh boy! She atared at him. She didn't want to talk about this. He'd managed to get her to talk about what she and his dad did in bed. But? Well, she'd wanted to know the same stuff at his age. "First, it doesn't taste bad. Every woman has different tastes, some think it tastes great. And different men taste differently and I've read where a guy can even change the way he tastes by changing what he eats."

... "Really?"

... "Yeah. Weird huh?"

... Bud readily agreed.

... Sam had to make sure she didn't go too far but this was Bud and he seemed to be intent on her saying more. "So, tastes okay and its something he really likes. And one thing more. When a man cums, orgasms, its a real clear indication of just how pleased he is. You know.

... "Women don't orgasm nearly so easily, usually, some do, most don't.

... "Any way, there you are and you've got this absolute proof that you've just made him very happy. And if he's a good man he will return the favor and make you happy too. If he's a very good man, he will have already made you happy. Remember, ladies first. That may not be true out in the world anymore but it definitely holds true for in bed. Okay?"

... Bud nodded.

... Now, how had he noticed?

... He probably could have seen the difference while she was just laying there. They had gotten a bit carried away - Alicia had gotten particularly carried away. He could probably see what was missing while she was standing up. And was it yesterday, or this afternoon that she'd talked to him about responsibility and driving? Yeah, after admonishing Alicia the truth was Sam hadn't been very careful herself. She just didn't worry about staying covered up anymore. And she thought in general it was healthy, but ...

... "Okay, I've got some questions for you. What do you think of our bare labias?"

... That produced quite a frown and a wrinkled forehead.

... "Does it bother you to see them?"

... "Uh, no, I don't think so." Bud thought for a while. "Actually, I think ... I want to say, its nice but that's not it."

... Well what ever was it, if it was in line with "nice" Sam was already working on shock.

... "You know, when a guy doesn't have pants on, you can see he's a guy."

... "Yeah, its pretty clear. Less hair and guys are on the outside, girls on the inside."

... "Except for breasts."

... "Yeah."

... "Well, when a girl has hair, its like ... she's not really a girl in the same way a guy's a guy, except for the breasts."

... "I'm not sure I'm following this."

... "Well, I've been nervous going without pants because, my parts are out there and you can't but see the stuff that a guy uses to have sex. But a girl with hair, ... there's nothing to say that she's, ... a ..."

... "Sexual being just like you?"

... "Yeah, kind 'a."

... "Except for the breasts."

... "Well not even the breasts. Because guys have breasts they're just smaller and breasts aren't really part of SEX. They're for afterwards."

... "Okay. So you're saying ..."

... "That, I was kind of relieved to see that you had ... "

... "A slit where we hide our sex organs."

... Bud made a bunch of faces but answered. "I guess so. Weird huh?"

... "No, no it makes a lot of sense actually. Does Brad feel the same way?"

... Bud shrugged. Bud and his brother didn't talk so much about this stuff as Bud and Sam. "Do you think you could find out for me?"

... Bud nodded.

... "But, try to keep it subtle."

... Bud smiled at that. He knew how his brother could get upset if he thought the question was coming from Sam (or their dad).

... "Okay, here's another hard one and you don't have to answer it tonight. Do you think you'd ... What do you think you'd like better? Shaved labias or hair? I won't promise anything but if you have a preference, I'd like to know."

... "Which do you like better?"

... "Well, like I said, there are good things to be said about both."

... "No, I meant, shaved cocks or hairy cocks?"

... "Oh." Now Sam had to think. "Okay. I think shaved scrotums and abdomens look silly but I think they can feel really nice. But in general I like a man with a lot of body hair, but that's one place where ..."

... Bud nodded. He jumped up, gave Sam a hug and a kiss. "Thanks mom." He stopped on his way up the stairs, "Oh, I promise to get back to you with answers."

... "Thanks."

... And he was gone up to his room.

... Had she over sexed her son again? She really never knew when she was being the greatest, most honest and open mother in the world and when she was molesting them. Well, she knew she was never molesting them but ...

... And now she had a decision of her own and possibly something to tell Alicia to do, or not to do. John still hadn't gone down on her and she could feel the hair beginning to grow back in but she'd been shocked last night by how much of her hair could be seen around her Weasel bikini. She'd had fun sharing with Alicia. It had been like being back in college.

... But if she was going to stay bald, it was time to give herself a refresh. Apparently her years of protecting Bud and Brad from seeing her sex hadn't done anything but add to Bud's confusion and discomfort. Well she did understand what he meant. How many pictures of women had she seen where you couldn't really tell they were women except for the tit?

... But if she staid bare, she'd not only have to shave every night again but John would feel the pressure to go down on her. Sam didn't feel she could tell John she was staying bare for the boys. And even if John never went down on her, she had certainly liked what he had been doing for the last two nights. But he'd said he preferred her with more fur and she was ticklish to his pubic hair. Well she could get over that.

... The truth was she was trying to figure out a way to keep herself shaven again. That was probably why she hadn't waited until the new swimsuit had come to instruct Alicia. She wasn't really clear on why she wanted to start shaving again but ... if Bud didn't come back with bad news she was going to keep it up.

... She'd have to get her shaving cream back from Alicia. Actually she'd have to get Alicia some of her own.
