The Hair Down There - Viral TikTok Triggers Massive Response
Full bush in a bikini video is all the rage
The first major TikTok Trend of 2025 came roaring to life with a young woman who posted a TikTok video simply saying "full bush in a bikini" several times, then saying she saw it on the popular Etsy platform, and "it radicalized me" that TikTok creators uses the handle @sujindah
That video gained over 9.5 million views in two days.
Her post inspired a series of videos in which women support the act of refusing to shave their pubic hair, also using the phrase "full bush in a bikini." The video also inspired searches for the Etsy review, although the location of the review which remains as of now, unconfirmed.
The Spontaneously Speaking podcast hosts have a mature, and insightful discussion about this recent viral TikTok trend. This podcast episode is called “The Magnificent Vulva”.
Former Chicago Sun-Times Reporter, Ed Champion, posted his own video in response to the viral discussion. His words were "I think more women should do it" and went on to say that women should decide for themselves whether or not they have "hair down there".
This viral TikTok trend/discussion that continues to rage is not new. This discussion about "the hair down there" is thousands of years old. Every so-often when this topic arises, the medical community usually speaks briefly, and will give a message along the lines of "Pubic hair serves a health purpose" and will also talk about the problems they often see when women or men "shave down there". Doctors say they see everything from minor razor burn, to acne flares, to full-blown infections that result from shaving "the hair down there".
A small, but loudly vocal group of feminists have invariably and ingenuously (falsely) claimed for ages that men or even other women who like to see shaved/bare and hairless genitalia are guilty of pedophilia, something for which there is no scientific evidence for.
What ISN'T in dispute, is that men and women alike enjoy an attractive vulva. Yes, the ever magnificent vulva! That area of the female body that has captivated humanity for time untold! WHY are people so passionate about the vulva, no matter which side of this discussion they fall on?
Adults who are consumers of adult magazine publications, whether online or by way of physical copies, can and will tell you they've seen vulvas from all walks of life. Doctors specializing in female healthcare will say the same. No two women are the same in any way.
A survey posted to PubMed in November of 2015 showed in a national survey, men demonstrated familiarity with the female anatomy, but many did not feel it impacted sexual desire or pleasure. Moreover, the majority lacked strong preferences for a specific vulvar appearance and would not encourage a female partner to alter her genital appearance surgically.
On May 11th, 2012, Psychology Today reported For men, erotic stimuli immediately activates the parts of their brains related to getting an erection.
Because men are sexually stimulated visually, many adult sites targeting men focus on body parts.
Unlike women, men's sexual arousal can exist totally independent of a relationship.
But IS the above statement true? Do women HAVE to be in a relationship for them to experience sexual arousal? The answer is NO! If that were true, women wouldn't be able to seek a partner in the first place, and women wouldn't experience a non-monogamous identity or be able to identify as polyamorous. Asexual non-monogamous and poly women exist, but for purposes of this discussion, we are focusing on women who experience sexual attraction and have sexual needs.
The write-up at Psychology today references Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam’s A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World’s Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire.
There is a key piece of information in the Psychology Today write-up:
"Exposure to such erotic stimuli immediately activates the parts of their brain related to getting an erection. And, as Ogas and Gaddam suggest, “Men’s greater sex drive may be partially due to the fact that their sexual motivation pathways have more connections to the subcortical reward system than in women.” [Or, in short] “men’s brains are designed to objectify females.”
Frustrated women have frequently (and cynically) complained that men’s brains are located between their legs. But the authors’ more scientifically grounded viewpoint seeks to elucidate the strategic—and frankly, unwilled—connection between the male’s brain and his genitals. (See also my earlier two-part post, “The Testosterone Curse.”)"
Perhaps this sheds light on the first major TikTok trend of 2025.
