Bringing Back the Bush

Trends are coming full circle as porn stars and viewers alike show their support of bringing back the bush.

When I first started in the business of removing my clothes for money (I include here my time during university when I worked as a dancer in London) I shaved my nether region completely bald. I wasn’t alone, pretty much every single girl I met both in dancing and modeling, and then eventually in porn, were also rocking the Hollywood pussy. It seemed to be the desirable look, not a solitary hair. Clean and smooth. I was also under the impression that this was what men found attractive and of the uneducated opinion that it was more hygienic.

Like many fashionable things, we fail to question them, we just rock the look because that’s what everyone else is doing. Must be cool, right? I know enough about fashion to know that this is utter bullshit. When I look back on things I have worn to fit in with the "moment" I want to cry with shame, and to be honest with you, the same goes for my totally bald vagina days.

When I first started modeling I would get the occasional comment on social media asking me to consider growing hair down there. I would snarl in disgust and probably give these poor souls some sort of heated abuse, as is my style (I have a fiery temper and a low tolerance level, apologies to anyone that has been smited by it). I have always done exactly as I please, and maintain the "my pussy, my rules" attitude I have had since day one. I think it is an important attitude to have for any woman, but particularly in the adult industry.

Bush and Boy/Girl Porn

It was only when I started shooting boy/girl porn that the idea of a bush really appealed to me. My first scene was a blow job scene in London that actually never ended up getting released for various reasons, but it was to this day one of the best things I’ve ever shot so… that kind of sucks (get it?). For this scene I wore a black latex, hand-made body suit with chains and studs covering it. The pussy region was cut out, and the male talent I was working with made an off hand comment about how cool it would look if i had a bush. It must have registered somewhere in my brain, even though in the front of my mind I was thinking "Piss off mate, only mums and grandmas have hair on their pussies, get with the times."

Quickly after the unreleased movie was filmed, I signed with Harmony Films to shoot my first boy/girl scenes. I was already in high demand as a girl/girl performer and the frequent shoot-shave-shoot-shave regime was taking its toll on my poor kitty. Let me tell you something about shaving rash: It sucks. It's painful, it’s ugly, if it's really bad it looks like there is something really wrong going on down there and when you are having your pussy vigorously rubbed and spat on every day on set, the friction burn turns into something raw. My skin is like ivory, so having red bumps from shaving is even more obvious on my snow white complexion. I decided to grow a small crop of hair in time for my first boy/girl movies so I didn’t have shaving rash for something so important. Just a tiny patch, just to help with shaving rash.

Bush is Better

What I learned from this tiny patch? Men liked it, and not just that, fans, directors, and male talent all suggested I grow more, that hair was sexy and feminine. I had never even considered this before. I began to grow my bush so it could actually be called a bush. I continued to shave the under carriage and still do to this day, but my blossoming bush remains. I LOVE it, I never ever thought I would say that! It is so sexy and SO feminine, I can’t believe I ever opted for the Hollywood. Now don’t get me wrong, I would never tell a girl what to do with her pubic region, some girls look great with nothing down there and to the other extreme, I have worked with girls who have gone full wild, hair all over, never shaved, and it's just as sexy. For me though, when I see pictures of when I had no hair it looks wrong, my hip bones have always been quite defined and now I feel like the bush completes that look, as though my hip bones are pointing toward it, like "Hey there, I got a pussy and I ain’t afraid to show it."

Porn is constantly criticized for setting unrealistic standards of body image and sex, and I can’t help but feel that these accusations are grossly misplaced in today's porn. There has never been a bigger variety of porn and porn stars for that matter! The huge fake boobs, platinum blonde hair, and tanned skinned is now only a very small percentage of stars. Whatever your fetish, you can find it online. A huge percentage of the top stars in the world are completely natural, and I’m not just talking about boobs and hair, I’m talking about the furry nether region that so many of the girls in porn now possess.

Why Doesn’t Everyone Want a Bush?

My favorite argument is that a muff is "unhygienic." This actually could not be further from the truth. Our pubic area is warm and moist and generally (if you’re like me) hidden under skin tight jeans or gym leggings. Imagine shaving and waxing, getting the tiny abrasions, ingrown hairs, and rashes that generally come around when regularly tidying the lady garden, now covering these little areas with tights, leggings, or jeans for 12 hours during the day. That is a breeding ground for infection and bacteria. I know this post is supposed to be sexy, but this is the gross part. It will be over soon, I promise.

There are still a lot of men that will comment telling me I should shave, generally the younger generation, but I guarantee, should they have sex with a girl with a tidy little muff, they would love it. Here’s why: It has been shown that those special tufts of hair release and hold pheromones, which may act as erotic aids. When I first met my other half, he had never been with a girl with hair on her pussy. I remember being a bit shy the first time we slept together. Despite shooting a near 500 porn movies at the time, having real life sex with a real life human that I had real life attraction and feelings toward was slightly nerve racking for me. I remember saying, before I took my underwear off "I have a baby bush." He didn’t care. He has said since that he never thought about it before but he now prefers a bit of hair because "it is more feminine."

My Favorite Porn Stars with Bush

Now don’t get me wrong, I love pussy, all pussy, Hollywood, Brazilian, and full on jungle, and like I said, "my pussy, my choice." This article is not to say ALL women should grow a bush, not at all. I love a smooth pussy as much as the next (wo)man, it’s more for those that are dead against the idea of a bush, or think that it is unhygienic or ugly. So, for those of you still on the fence about it… here are a few of my favorite porn girls that rock the muff with pride.

Yes, I’m putting myself in there. Since rocking the bush, my popularity in the industry seemed to increase, now I’m not saying the bush has magical powers… who knows, maybe it does? But I receive more compliments on my furry kitty than on most other body parts. Plus, I love having something to stroke and pull on when I’m fucking. Sometimes I even give it a cheeky flash on my snapchat story "TheBadBentley."

Valentina Nappi

Italian mega star Valentina was the first boy/girl/girl scene I ever did! Back almost five years ago (damn) we were both relatively fresh to the world of hardcore, but now Valentina has numerous AVN and Xbiz nominations under her belt, and won best boy/girl/girl at the 2016 AVN awards. I LOVE working with Valentina. She is a dirty, nasty girl and all her scenes have a raw sexual energy that leaves a lot of performers in the dust. The thing about Valentina is she genuinely just loves fucking. Actually, there are very few girls I have met that love fucking as much as her. She now rocks a beautiful fluffy muff that is proudly displayed in her many, many hardcore movies.

We have worked together for Harmony films and Evil Angel and each time, the results have been epic.

Dani Daniels

I am FOREVER singing this girls praises, and for good reason. Not only is she an amazing friend and human but she is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in the industry. One hundred percent natural, including her epic fuzzy bush, Dani is all kinds of fire. She is frequently flashing her beautiful bush on her snapchat "SuckingalltheD" in her "daily bush" updates. As well as being an incredible artist, learning to be a pilot, traveling America for feature dancing shows, directing for numerous companies, including her own site danidaniels.com, and looking after her two French bulldogs Darwin and Islay, Dani is one of the top porn stars on the planet. The Xbiz 2016 Performer of the Year's beautiful fur pie can be seen in hundreds upon hundreds of movies.

Riley Reid

AVN 2016 was dominated by this little lady. Pocket sized sex kitten Riley Reid is so cute and so pretty it’s actually painful. I have never worked with Riley but I really, really, really hope the time comes when I do! She is one of my favorite girls to perv on. I love watching her social media updates, and you do get frequent flashes of that beautiful bush. I would also recommend her site reidmylips.com for bush updates… or pretty much any porn site ever.

Ava Dalush

I am actually very proud to say that I discovered little miss Ava Dalush. Hailing from Nottingham UK, this 5' 1" pocket rocket is a ball of energy and sex appeal. I met Ava handing out flyers at the Xbiz convention in 2012. I then had sex with her in a hotel room upstairs, because that’s how we do. Then I introduced her to Harmony Film's directors, who had recently contracted me. We took her to Prague for a week of shooting where she was booked for girl/girl only, by the end of the week she has agreed her first boy/girl. Ava has one of the prettiest faces I have ever seen and one of the biggest personalities. Although now retired, Ava and her wonderful muff have left their mark on the industry in over 100 movies.

Adriana Chechik

Another girl who’s praises I will never stop singing. What is there to say about Adriana that I haven’t already said in my previous piece about girl/girl performers? I just love her. She does not give a fuck, and if you want to see frequent behind the scenes and personal flashes of her pretty pussy covered in hair, her snap story "AdrianaChechik" is one of the best I have ever seen. To be honest, everything this girl does in epic. She does not do porn in half measures.

If You Prefer a Close Shave

The best motto for bush is "to each their own," and if you prefer a close shave over a little (or a lot) of hair, then we recommend spicing up your home decor with a Close Shave Pussy Pillow. Of course, Pussy Pillow has options for the bush-lover as well, so take a look around regardless of your preference in pussies.

Combining the internet's two favorite things—cats and porn—Pussy Pillow features an adorable, fluffy feline on one side, and a beautiful vagina on the other. It is cut, sewn, and printed in California, 100 percent American made.
