I’m not sleeping with anyone at the moment but I am growing a massive beard for no real reason and have three momth’s worth of growth on my face. But the question applies to all pubes really, male or female. Why isn’t it possible to make them feel like head hair? Or if it is, how do you go about it? Definitely normal head hair approaches don’t work on me or any one else who’s pubes I’ve had any input into. ---

Because they come out different from the root. The differences are not such that you can change them. ---

Basically, the same reasons why your beard hair is different from the hair on top of your head. The cross-section of the hair is larger and a different shape. ---

Why is arm hair like neither, nor like head hair? They are different. ---
