No hair or no sex.

I asked this question a long time ago, don't remember which board, but there are so many new posters that I thought I'd try again.

This is directed at the women on the board. Assume you had an either/or choice. You could either be bald with no option to wear a wig or replace the hair in any way, but you could have sex regularly...or you could permanently give up sex in all its forms but have a full head of hair.

Which would you choose? I remember being very surprised at many of the answers the first time I posted this question.

If I was still marrried to my DH, I would remain bald and continue our fabulous sex life. I went too long without sex to give it up now, for any reason. If my baldness was because of cancer treatment, and he was standing by me, and was still attracted to me, I would certainly remain bald in order to have sex. If, God forbid, I did not have him anymore, I would keep my fabulous head of hair.

This is one weird question. Why do you ask this?

Man, you DO have too much time on your hands! For me, this is a moot point, since I don't have a partner. Do you think shaving my head would help me get one? I'd do it in a heartbeat! It wouldn't be much of a loss as far as I'm concerned. Because of my age, mine's starting to thin out anyway, I hate beauty shops with a passion, and I've often said I wish bald was "in".

Nothing to do with sex, but recently I had a mammogram "scare" which fortunately turned out to be a false alarm. During the two weeks that you're forced to wait for a re-take, lots of things go thru your mind, all the what if's.....and I was talking to a friend who said "you'll have to get a wig if you need chemo" and I said NO WAY. I hate those things, I'll just be bald! Maybe a scarf, maybe a hat, but NO WIG!

The straight answer to your question: Where's the razor?

Can I turn it around on you? What if you saw a gorgeous model type person, who was "coming on" to you, and she was bald........would you be interested?

Well, many women have faced that reality because of cancer, etc. and I'm sure that regular sex was the least of their worries. But if I had to make the choice, I would choose the sex.

I'd definitely take sex over the hair. I get more pleasure from sex than I do from my hair lol.

I realize that this is a strange question. Maybe a decade ago, long before I posted the question the first time, a poll was taken on this very topic (don't remember who sponsored it). It was amazing to me, but a majority of the female responders said they would give up the sex. One reason often mentioned was that hair is a major component of feeling feminine. No hair meant not feeling attractive or sexy, so why bother.

Could I be attracted to a bald woman? If she was my type in other ways, I do believe I could. Sinead O'Connor has played a role in getting me to this point.

I keep picturing Joyce from last season's Amazing Race. She was even more beautiful without hair.


I'd rather give up hair than sex.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

I would give up my hair long before I gave up sex. There is no way in hell I'm giving up sex!! I'm with Tish, can I tattoo my head? Definately give up hair before sex, I dont have much time to do anything with it anyway, so who cares..lol...
