As a woman who is growing out her hair, I enjoy the sensuality of it. I love taking care of it and handling it. I look forward to the sensation of my hair caressing my neck and settling on my shoulders. This is my personal relationship with my hair and it is sensual.
I would like to understand the male perspective on this (and the female perspective where it differs from my own), specifically:
Is female hair a sexual trigger in the opposite sex, and if so, why?
Sound like a stupid question, but heres my perspective:
The covering (and growing) of female hair is part of many traditional religions and a woman wearing unbound, uncovered hair is seen as a wanton. Hair on a woman is dangerous for society....
Men and women both have hair - same stuff, same structure - no gender difference. ....correct?
What if any, is the sexual trigger? Is it purely sensual as in - it is something both men and women can enjoy on a physical but non-sexual level? What does long female hair represent symbolically in the male psyche? If long hair is a sexual trigger in men, than a man can get excited by any long hair, including that on another man. Do Jung or Freud have anything to say on this matter?
Sorry for the many questions...can anyone enlighten me with their views?
Thank you
