A question for the Girls.
Up until the end of the mid 19th century, circa 1850 to 1870, there was a thriving industry around the civilised world for the manufacture of merkins.
What in God's name are merkins? I hear you ask. Well, a merkin was a 'wig' made of human hair specifically for ladies' pussies. Can one of you tell me why a woman or girl would want a wig for her pussy when presumably they had natural hair there already? If they had shaved off their hair, why then cover the bare pussy with a wig? Think of the poor bloke giving it a playful tug during the preliminaries and finding it came away in his hand (or teeth) The mind boggles :skull-big |
How the fuck did you even come across this?
The Oxford Companion to the Body dates the origin of the pubic wig to 1450. Women would shave their pubic hair and wear a merkin to combat pubic lice, and prostitutes would wear them to cover up signs of disease, such as syphilis.[4] The term is also applied to decorative – typically sequinned – patches commonly sold in sets with nipple tassels or "pasties", which are enjoying new popularity as part of the costume of new burlesque adult entertainment, and, according to NSOED, is also applied to fake vaginas.[5] "A short and curly history of the merkin" in The Guardian provided a partial history of the merkin. It highlighted "comedy terrorist" Aaron Barschak's flashing of a merkin to onlookers.[6] It has also been suggested that when male actors played female parts onstage, they would cover their genitals with a merkin so they could expose themselves as women in bawdy scenes.[7] |
Snarks old mate, it just goes to prove that men are the superior sex. Your erudition confirms that.
Not a peep from one of the lady members of the board. I confess that I did not look up any dictionary or reference to ascertain the information you came up with but I knew someone would. :skull-roc |
Citizens of The United States of Merika of course.

In Hollywood film-making, merkins are used in films where they are worn by actors and actresses to prevent inadvertent exposure of the genitalia during nude or semi-nude scenes. If a merkin was not worn, it would be necessary to restrict the shot to exclude the genital area; with the merkin in place brief flashes of the crotch can be used if necessary. The presence of the merkin protects the actor from inadvertently performing 'full-frontal' nudity – some contracts specifically require that nipples and genitals be covered in some way – which can help ensure that the film achieves a less restrictive MPAA rating.[2] A merkin is also used if the actor has less pubic hair than required for the role, as in the case of Kate Winslet in the film The Reader[3] or the nude dancing extras in The Bank Job.

More recently the removable sheepskin headband found on the inside of safety hardhats are referred to as merkins by many in the mining industry of Western Australia. |
