I've been wondering why Botticelli's Venus and the Odalisque's (among other famous nudes) were painted without body hair. I thought that with body hair these paintings would be more like raunchy porn than art, (although porn can be art). Europeans would have learned about body hair removal - the importance of hygiene from Africans and Arabs.

I guess I should have asked during one of the many art history courses that I took ... but instead I learned the answer from Fox News. LOL

It's no longer simply a style concern for porn stars; it seems that everyone now - guy or gal - is giving at least some thought to pubic hair care. I certainly get enough e-mails from male readers about going hairless.
