This is one of my thighs.  I don’t shave them because I end up with horrible skin irritation, ingrown hairs, boils, etc. 

The darker dots are small scars on my legs are from various chub rub problems (boil, cyst, ingrown hair, inflammation, etc. etc). 

Some of the skin is reddened because I have several boils under the skin right there (a carbuncle).

It’s my thigh.  No one has ever left my bed because it isn’t perfectly smooth and evenly colored.  I haven’t had anyone comment on it at all.

beautiful and powerful
