Pubic hair transplants are big business in South Korea

Transplanted pubic hair is the latest trend in South Korea, where it is regarded as a sign of fertility.

Surgeon Afschin Fatemi, from Unna in Germany, said: "In the West, women try to reduce their genital hair as much as possible, but in Korea the trend is for forestation."

He said a mass of pubic hair was considered a sign of fertility, which was why many women were paying as much as £1,700 to have hair transplanted from their heads.

Fatemi added: "The structure of head and pubic hair on Asians is quite similar. The implanted hair isn't long and rarely falls out."

The operation is conducted under local anaesthetic and bandaging can be removed after just one day.

[BrooklynGOP]

That's nasty.

[goldstategop]

I don't think we'll see hairy women walking on the streets of America any time soon, if you get my drift.

Does this explain why Don King vacations in South Korea?

In France they also have underarm hair transplants for women.

The nekkid French chicks I've seen on beaches are clean as a whistle.

Reforestation. Environmentalists love it. (And it's not like a lot of female envirowackos are short on hair anyhow.)

Forestation?!? Eeeuuuwwww!

Ditto that. Who the heck wants to have to take a weed wacker on a date, just in case things get romantic.

[Lee Heggy]

I knew there had to be a reason to never ask a Korean for hair.

[Leroy S. Mort]

"The structure of head and pubic hair on Asians is quite similar

You mean it isn't the same all over?

[irish guard]

I know of quite a few men who seem to have lost their testicles and could use a pair, but I have never heard of this!

[NCjim]

Unbelievable what people will pay for...

[wardaddy]

lol....

I was expecting an embellishment about your personal experience with "forestation" in Asia.

[Go Gordon]

The nekkid French chicks I've seen on beaches are clean as a whistle.

You know what the call clean shaven women in France?

TOURISTS!!!!

[cjshapi]

If it's transplanted from their heads I wonder if they style it?

[Smile-n-Win]

In France they also have underarm hair transplants for women.

I wouldn't be surprised to find they had reodorants, which make them smell again should they accidentally fall into a bathtub.

[mvpel]

You know how your dentist is always bugging you to floss after meals...

Clean is as clean smells. I guess you didn't get too close.

Just went for a swim huh? :^}

[Imal]

Not sure, but does this qualify for "Just damn!" status?

[Go Gordon]

If it's transplanted from their heads I wonder if they style it?

Maybe just parted down the middle?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I wasn't looking at all, LOL.

[dead]

but in Korea the trend is for forestation.

That was news I didn’t need to know.

[Go Gordon]

You know how your dentist is always bugging you to floss after meals...

He said to do it after I eat, he didn't limit it to after meals. I never knew the difference......until now.

Hold muh.... Busch Beer?

[bedolido]

I'm sure there are many wives trying to shave their husbands heads... Leave my alone alert!

[wardaddy]

I would agree with that but I think many I saw were probably vacationing Scandinavian chicks who often don't have to do a lot of shaving anyhow.

The more genetically Med French chicks have to shave/wax...even their arms and upper lips at times.

My daughters (half Lebanese genetically) wax their upper lips.

[Protagoras]

You must have had a cold too. Ya can smell at thirty paces. :^}

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Completely devoid of all body hair, and was closer than that.

[cjshapi]

I work with a girl who wears skirt so short she needs 2 hairstyles.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Leb girls have to fight that battle for a lifetime, sadly.

[Squantos]

When I "was" married..........I "was" married ! Kunsan "was" a nice place that I visited when I "was" married !..........:o) If anything I'm faithful................in hindsight stoooopid maybe, but faithful !

Stay Safe !

Perusing the posts I came upon yours... figuratively speaking of course. My morning coffee is now rolling down my monitor and my keyboard is drenched... thanks for the yuks... where'd I put those scott towels?

[wardaddy]

I can handle anything but inner thigh sideburns.

[wardaddy]

damn...I thought you were the "Player of the Known Universe"

[cjshapi]

I'm glad you enjoyed my post. Since you seem to have a talent for finding all those bizzare news stories out there I take that as a real compliment.

And my post was not fictional. The truth is much more strange and gross.

[cake_crumb]

Uh...FOFLOL! I'm trying to imagine even WANTING to do something like that...I can't. Fortunately. It's hard enough for most American women to keep the bikini area nice and smooth...

I just had a vision of hairy Asian women in bikinis. I'm going to be sick.

[cake_crumb]

"If it's transplanted from their heads I wonder if they style it?"

Gack...thank you. Visions of special perming salons are now dancing through my head. Will bald headed women with the hairiest (but best styled) pubic hairs become the NEXT fertility symbol in Asia?

[MisplacedinOR]

Oh boy, I can see it now... "Me silky-silky you, five dollah."

[sit-rep]

LMAO...

Due to my personal inability to be content with anything more than a nice little mohawk, I'll pass!

Is feminism growing in this area? IMHO, this would be an excellent birth control avenue!

[Squantos]

Explain.......area..........:o)

Stay Safe !

[sit-rep]

Oh! Now I get it(area).... Korea! They're talking about expanding the jungle line! Too much bush scares me away!!
