I don't know if it's just easier to get them for the videos and more willing to be in them, or if there are just more shampoo girls than shampoo guys out there, or if it's completely on purpose to appeal to male customers, but a LOT of shampoo video shops feature a LOT of videos of girl-on-girl shampooing and very few videos with male shampooers. To be sure, they're not terrible videos, they have lots of lather and look very pampering, but they don't appeal to me. I don't mean to be sexist or homophobic, but being a straight female, male-on-female shampooing is the most appealing to me but it's increasingly rare.
To be clear, when I get my hair washed in the salon it's always by a woman. And it feels good, not sexy at all, which is just as well because I'm in public, but to have a female friend wash my hair? No thanks, too awkward. When I seek out shampoo videos I want them to be sexy. Hence, I want the shampooer to be a guy.
The HairFun just updated their website with a whole new shop and lots of new videos, they're ALL girl-on-girl, Tomas isn't in any of them. At all. I don't find him all that sexy but I like his shampooing best because he's the only goddamn man on the whole goddamn website!
When it comes to same-sex shampooing, I'd rather see a man shampooing another man's hair, as long as it's medium to long hair which has a high capacity for lather. But alas, that has a small fan base and when they're posted on forums the guys - who dominate the forum (I seem to be the only female member NOT there to promote a porn site or otherwise titillate the men) - freak out about the presence of "gay videos" on their precious website.
And of course, a lot of male-on-female videos are pornograhic, but rather than feature sex acts for the woman, you see her getting a half-assed shampoo while she's blowing the guy. She may be getting a shampoo but he's getting more enjoyment out of the deal.
Once again it's become clear to me that either I'm in a very small minority OR video websites care more about catering to male clientele than making videos for potential female customers.

It's Times Like This . . .
. . . that I wish I had a boyfriend. No really. I know it sounds wicked anti-feminist, but right now I could use one. For you see, my arm hurts. No idea why, didn't injure it, it just hurts. Washing my hair may be a bit difficult, so I wish I had a boyfriend to help me out. No way am I asking a friend to do it, with my fetish it'd just be weird.
I did actually consider mentioning it to the guy I like - we've hung out a few times but haven't actually kissed or anything, much less started dating, but I'm about 80% sure he likes me. Anyway, I considered mentioning that my arm hurts and I have to wash my hair tomorrow which will be hard, just to see if he offers to help - yeah no, I'm not asking for that, I might as well drag him aboard the train to Crazy Town. Also I didn't mention it because we were too busy talking about other things. Maybe if he messages me tonight or tomorrow I'll be all "ugh, I have to go to the doctor tomorrow" and go from there. Man, if he's into shampooing, that would be a great sign. But so far I have yet to find one guy who is (in person, obviously I've met guys on the internet who are, and no I'm not inviting a stranger into my apartment to wash my hair!)
I also really miss getting massages.

Male Stylist, Yay! . . . ?
So today I called my local salon and day spa to set up a back-to-school haircut, and I got an appointment with a male hairstylist. I've never had my hair done by a guy before, ever. I've never had a guy wash my hair in a salon before, which of course is the most exciting part, and I'm really hoping he is the one to wash my hair. I just hope I don't get too excited if you know what I mean. I have a hard enough time hiding my excitement and pleasure when a woman washes my hair, when a man's doing it I'll be over the moon and I just know it'll show on my face despite my best efforts.
It's just so embarrassing how much I like being shampooed, ever since my mom pointed out to the stylist that I love having my hair washed. I wanted to die right there in the chair.
And boy am I looking forward to getting shampooed. Me and the really good shampooer broke up a couple weeks ago, and sadly I've been washing my own hair ever since.

Video Fraud
In an earlier post I announced that Shampoowatcher had posted some awesome new videos for sale. Turns out, they weren't his. Well, some were, but the Sammy videos were not. They were originally made by someone who goes by Latherfreak, purchased off his website, edited to give him the credit, and put up for sale on his website. That's low, really low. He didn't put it up for free torrenting, or send copies of the file to his friends, he tried to make money off it.
And I get it, as I said earlier, sometimes you gotta make some dough off your work. Honestly, it sucks that his new stuff wasn't free, because I did appreciate the full-length videos that were easy to find. I believe he used to be honest when he was posting stuff that wasn't his, but were sent to him by fans.
Normally I'd encourage people to buy his videos and support him, but in this case I'm going to rescind any of that encouragement I may have posted earlier, at least until he comes out and publicly acknowledges and apologizes for what he did. What this guy did to make a quick buck was low, and I'd rather people spend their money on videos made by honest video makers, such as Latherfreak. His videos aren't for everyone, and most don't appeal to me, but if something there strikes your fancy and you have the money, buy it! I'm serious, guys, a full-length video is way better than a quick YouTube preview. Remember, we need to support the people who make these videos, or they'll stop making them and you won't even have the YouTube previews to watch for free.

Best Entry on Dear Blank, Please Blank
(for those of you out of the loop, Dear Blank Please Blank is a meme website where . . . you know what? Just click the link and find out for yourself, I can't really explain it)
Dear hair salon stylists,
Why does it never feel this good when I wash my hair myself?!
Sincerely, come home with me?
Seriously!!

New (Sexy) Videos from Shampoowatcher; Fireman's Foam and Foam Parties
I gotta say, I've admired this guy. He's been great with posting frequent videos, and for the most part they've been full-length ones. Now, he's posting pay-to-download movies, which is cool, I get that bills need to be paid. It does sorta suck though, seeing the one provider of free shampoo videos start charging for their work, but hey, we're in a recession. Even I'm trying to make a few bucks off this blog from advertising.
I haven't bought anything from the guy yet, but I intend to. The "sammy getting lathered" preview looks really good, but I'm trying to hold onto my money this summer - and yet I'm not doing a fantastic job. Being in a relationship costs money - going to the movies, going out to eat, even going to visit him now costs money since I moved back home. And when he's traveling the world, going to see him will cost a small fortune. Anyway, the idea of an X-rated shampoo video intrigues me since I've never seen one, but since I'm not a guy and thus don't enjoy blowjobs, I probably wouldn't get off to a video that's just a shampoo and BJ. Shampoo and sex sounds kinda hot though.
ALSO a town in my area does this thing every year where kids get to play in big piles of foam, which is provided by the fire department. I don't know if it has any practical uses for fighting fires, or where the tradition came from, but they cover a field in the stuff and kids love it. Kinda gives me an idea for a concept video, really. A fireman (or firemen) covering a woman with the foam and then washing her down. I wonder if any washing, hair or otherwise, happens at those foam parties that occur. My boyfriend says there are tons of foam parties in Ibiza, which makes me want to go check it out if I can, but I also know that there are a few foam parties held in the US. Not sure where though. I have friends who attend raves, and I'd certainly go with them if there was ever a foam rave. Yeah, like I'd ever get that lucky. If only there was a fetish club for people like me - unfortunately, the Shampoo nightclub in Philadelphia is not actually a shampoo club. The name lies. LIES, I SAY!

When SPD is a Blessing
I've had SPD, or Sensory Processing Disorder, my whole life. It's made me a little weird - it's meant I can't go on rollercoasters, or eat foods like mashed potatoes without gagging. I've had trouble driving a car or understanding verbal instructions, making me look like a dumbass. It's made me extremely anti-social.
It's also made me very physically sensitive.
This has meant great things for my sexual partners, because I've been so sensitive to their touches. This also may in fact be one of the reasons why I like being shampooed, or just washed in general, and why I craved being touched and massaged by my boyfriends. I feel it more than others can, and it feels extra amazing. I guess that's a decent trade-off for all the crap I've had to endure with the disorder.

Found a New Blog
Guess what guys, this isn't the only shampoo fetish blog out there!
I found Shampoo Stories a little while ago. There are only two entries so far, I hope whoever this is writes more! It also makes me wonder what else is out there. I've tried to search for shampoo blogs on Blogger, but their search feature is useless in that sense.

The Accident
Two frat guys rough-housing at a party caused an innocent female bystander to become soaked with beer. The boys felt terrible for the accident and offered to help clean her up. The girl, tipsy herself thought it would be fun, so they escorted her upstairs to one of the bathrooms. There she removed her shorts, but kept her tank top and panties on to maintain some modesty, and the boys filled the tub with soap and water. The girl blushed with excitement as she got into the tub.
They weren't sure what to wash first, but her hair seemed like a good bet. One poured a good amount of shampoo onto her head, and the two of them began to scrub and massage. She giggled at first, then, no longer able to contain herself, let out a gasp of pleasure. It did feel pretty amazing, having four hands lathering her up. The boys realized she was enjoying herself, and decided to scrub a little more vigorously. She began to moan as her whole head was becoming engulfed in rich, creamy lather. The soap was falling down to her shoulders, down her back and chest. She was getting clean, all right.
After a good ten minutes of scrubbing, the girl looked up at the guys and said "don't you wanna wash the rest of me?" And with that, she drained the tub of water, leaving only the mountain of suds. She gently pulled the boys into the tub with her, and the three of them began an extreme shampoo session that would last hours.

I should probably mention that I did eventually tell the guy I'm seeing about my fetish. We were on a camping trip, and I'd mentioned earlier that I had a fetish but I was too shy to tell him what it was. I sort of made him guess, dropping hints and telling him when he got close. I'll never forget it, we were sitting on a bench, under the stars, outside the cabin when I told him. He told me he'd wash my hair when we got back from the trip.
And he's amazing at it! He's washed my hair maybe 3 or 4 times, not that often, but whenever he does it he does a fantastic job and it feels incredible. He's a pretty wonderful guy overall, I think I'm in for a great summer . . . as long as I don't screw this one up. I'd been pretty good at keeping the crazy at bay, but then PMS rolled around, and it's been a little harder to fight off the jealousy. I just gotta remind myself that yes, he sometimes flirts with his female friends, but he doesn't mean anything by it; and at the end of the day, I'm the one he's taking home. I hope it stays that way, and he doesn't run away, because he really is my miracle.

Shyness Sucks
Things have been going really well with this new guy. We have great chemistry, and I feel really good about him. I'm actually kind of glad I ran away a few years ago, thinking he was a tad sketchy; it's as though the goddess was whispering in my ear "stay away, you're not ready for him yet." And it's true, up until recently I've been clingy and emotionally high maintenance, among other annoying features, but in the wake of recent events I've matured quite a bit, and now I can keep my crazy down to tolerable amounts. Maybe this time I won't mess things up.
BUT I haven't told him about my fetish yet. I'm not sure how to, the timing needs to be just right. I'm too shy to even offer to wash his hair. Gahh what is wrong with me? Do I just not want to scare him away with excess weirdness? It's not like he comes to my place where I can leave subtle hints lying around, I go to his place where we can get more privacy, since I have a roommate right now. Ack, I miss having a single bedroom. Oh well, it's only for another month.
What I do know is this guy has magic fingers. He's given me massages, he even massaged my scalp a couple times. I have no doubt he could give a great shampoo, and maybe he does have experience with it. Maybe he enjoys it too, but for one reason or another is too shy to bring it up. He did say he didn't have any known fetishes though, so that's out, although he hasn't asked me if I have any. That is, he hasn't asked yet . . .
I know, I know, I'm a hypocrite. I tell people to go for it, I encourage women to speak up about their fetishes and ask for what they want. It's hard, I get it, and maybe I'm in no place to give that kind of encouragement
Oh jeez, how much do you wanna bet that once I tell him I have a shampoo fetish, he Googles "shampoo fetish" and finds this blog? That'd be crazy awkward . . . Then again, I don't think any guy I've dated has researched information on shampoo fetishes, or even sought YouTube videos to help him learn how to wash hair, so what are the odds of this new guy coming across this blog? And would it totally weird him out enough to scare him away?

Another New Guy
I met a guy a few years ago, and then we lost contact. I'd almost forgotten about him until we ran into each other last year, and for a while I fantasized about him. My fantasy was that I'd go to his apartment, he'd wash my hair over the sink, and then he'd lie me down on the bed and make love to me. Got me off for a long time, really. I'd had the feeling he was sort of into me. I could be wrong, maybe he didn't like me then. But recently we started hanging out and he sure as hell seems to like me now.
As I've mentioned before, a new guy coming into my life is always exciting. I picture him washing my hair, wonder if he's any good at it, and wonder if maybe he's into it too. I wonder if he'll offer to wash my hair without me telling him about my fetish. I wonder how the topic of my fetish will come up, whether he'll laugh at me or find it interesting. I'm sure it'll come up soon, I do want him to know about it because I really want him to shampoo me.
Because this guy is very into the outdoors and loves to go camping, there have been recent fantasies, such as him shampooing me in a lake or river on a camping trip (of course, using biodegradable camping shampoo so as not to hurt the environment).
Oh god, if he reads this he'll probably know I'm talking about him. I'd die of embarrassment. Then again, if he does read it, one would hope it's because he has this fetish too.
Sometimes I wonder how much bearing this fetish-related stuff should have on my guy selection. How important is it for him to be good at washing my hair? After all, the last guy could give a fantastic shampoo, but wasn't always willing to do it, even when I asked him to shampoo me over the sink or something, it fell in deaf ears. Other guys have been more than willing to wash my hair, even loved doing it, but were utter crap at it. Why no balance yet, goddamnit?!? But when I'm choosing between two guys, as I will probably have to do eventually - date this new guy or get back together with my ex - how much should this matter?

Video Review and Prediction
Well I got the new video a while ago, the one from The Hairfun, and it's fantastic! It's a little short, but it has lots of lather and it was totally worth the price! There's a bit in the middle where her head is just covered in foam, I watch that part over and over sometimes. And the guy really knows how to wash. The video is Julia Shampoo Over Bowl, and I highly recommend it, or really anything from The Hairfun, I'm sure a lot of their shampoo videos are fantastic.
Also, has anyone else seen commercials for foam hair color? I wonder if we'll start seeing foam coloring videos soon.

Ahh Nostalgia
I was just watching one of my old favorite cartoons, the Rugrats, and I saw this. I remembered how much seeing that one little clip thrilled me as a kid. It also reminded me of when I was little and really wanted my hair washed at the salon, but until I was about 8 they would just spray my hair with water to wet it. The first salon shampoo was magical. And I'm gonna stop feeding the pedophiles now, back to my trip down memory lane!

Bought New Video!
I finally figured out that in order to buy a video from The Hairfun, you need to e-mail them for the password. Derp! Well I got it, and ordered a video. not cheap either, damn exchange rates. Don't look at me like that, I'm a college student and I'm allowed to be irresponsible damnit! It's not like I've incurred any debts from student loans (yet), and I know I have a job for the summer so I'm not in any real trouble yet either.
Anyway, gotta say, buying a video in German is quite an interesting experience. I had no idea what I was clicking on, I just went with my instincts most of the time. Looks like I was successful, now I just need to wait. I'll probably post a review or something when I can finally view the video.
But man, I gotta say, watching a video just isn't the same, and it's been so long since I've had a good shampoo. FUCKSHITDAMNIT THERE'S A GINORMOUS SPIDER IN THE ROOM! Gotta go, bye!

Hairfun Rant
I've raved about The Hairfun before, now I'm a little frustrated. They've posted some great shampoo video previews on YouTube . . . only they're just slideshows. Very hot pictures, I must say, one very much reminds me of the work over at Lather Fantasies (I wonder what they're up to these days, I'd love to see some new stuff from them), but I liked the previews a lot more when they were actual videos.
Now I get that maybe they're tired of people only watching the freebie videos on YouTube, and maybe that's why they keep taking down the old videos, but if they really want us to buy videos, they need to make that possible. Once again, I can't get to that part of their website. It is about time for me to buy something from them, they seem to do really great work, and their videos seem pretty affordable. They are one of my favorites out there. Then again, there aren't that many shampoo fetish websites active at any given time. Websites tend to release videos in small, infrequent waves - LatherFantasies seemed busy for a while before disappearing again, ShampooGuys made a big comeback for a while and then died back out - whereas the HairFun seems to be putting out new stuff every six weeks or so. I'm hoping they don't die out too, that'd be sad.
While I can't condemn anyone for watching mostly YouTube clips, I do recommend people buy videos as well. It's nice to always have something on your computer that you don't have to go searching for, and it helps support the people who make the videos.

The Struggle For Female Fetishists
I never told my first two boyfriends about my fetish. I was too shy. Even now I'm often shy about telling a guy what I want, and just now have I really figured out what it is.
It's not just that being turned on by hair washing is different, but it involves having a guy do something for me that isn't inherently sexual, and unless he's into shampooing as well, isn't much of a turn-on for him. To ask for a shampoo is to ask to be massaged and pampered, an often selfless task for the shampooer, and perhaps that's why my last partner believed I had to earn washings, while he was more willing to have sex with me, which he did consider a favor to me even when it involved a good bit of coercion.
(yes, it's exactly what you think it means)
I wouldn't be surprised if other girls feel this way. It's quite an obstacle to overcome, feeling like you can't ask for what you want directly without coming across as too aggressive or downright selfish. I wish I had better advice to women on how to ask for it, but personally I've often had to be subtle about bringing it up. I've had to start with casually bringing up the topic of fetishes, and try to get him really interested in what mine might be before I finally spill it. Even as it comes out, I feel silly, embarrassed, as if my fetish is stupid, childish, and immature.
Luckily, most guys have found it cute, intriguing, and in a couple cases flat-out hot.
Most guys I've dated have seemed unwilling to shampoo me anywhere but in the shower. Maybe it's because that's the only way they can get something out of it - they get to wash a wet, naked girl and possibly turn the shampooing into a conventionally sexual act. I've dropped hints that I wanted it over the sink, they either fell on deaf ears, or they were intentionally ignored, or the guy made an excuse as to why not. Frustrating. Sometimes all I want is a shampoo, no sex or nudity involved. Why is that so hard for guys to comprehend? Well, I'm sure you guys get it, but not normal guys.

Boring Blog-Related Stuff
Time to take care of some blog-related stuff and acknowledge the elephant in the room. Yes, there are ads now. I decided to monetize when I realized the blog was doing very well . . . and the my savings from working over the summer are starting to run dry. What can I say, I'm a broke college student trying to scrape together some extra bucks.
What I will assure you is that I will keep them text-only so they're not completely obnoxious and don't make the page take forever to load. However, if the images I have posted do cause a problem, please let me know, because I'm as frustrated with slow loading pages as the next person. If you guys like the pictures, bear with me because I plan on gathering more!

What Are You Afraid Of?
This is to the guys who want to wash a girl's hair: GO FOR IT!
Really, what are you afraid of? Washing a girl's hair is one of the sexiest, most sensual things you can do for her. I know you guys are shy about it, because actually having a fetish for it may seem weird at first - hey, if they don't do it in mainstream porn, it's not considered normal - but I'll bet anything most women would be all for it if you brought it up. So take a deep breath, and say "hey, I'd really like to wash your hair."
I think the biggest reason a woman might hesitate is that she's afraid you'll mess up her hair or damage it. Assure her you know what you're doing and you'll be careful. Also assure her that you'll shampoo her in a position that will allow her to stay fully clothed, in case that's a concern as well. Finally, assure her that you expect nothing in return - that should always be the case, but make sure that's always known.
Most women love having their hair washed! Why else would a shampoo be part of every haircut? Why else would Herbal Essences think to make those commercials?
If you're really in doubt and want to ease into bringing up the idea of a shampoo, start by offering a shoulder massage. If she seems to enjoy that, move your hands up to her scalp and see how she reacts. If she enjoys that as well, then offer to wash her hair. Make it about her, frame it as a favor for her, not something you're doing for your own pleasure (you may be perceived as a creep otherwise). After you wash her hair, then you can say that you enjoyed it - she'll love that you enjoy doing something so pleasurable for her.

Look What Overstock Has!
http://www.overstock.com/Health-Beauty/Mabis-Inflatable-Bed-Shampooer-Kit/5395212/product.html
Thought I'd show this to you guys, in case anyone has a need for it. It's an inflatable bed shampooer kit that includes an inflatable ring for the bed, plus a plastic basin and draining tube. Perfect for shampooing in bed, which I've never tried myself but sounds wonderful. AND it's relatively cheap, and likely to sell out, so if you want it, better act soon!
I myself won't be getting one. I'm trying to save my money these days, and I've once again found myself single, this time with no intention of dating anytime soon, so I won't have any use for any home shampooing products.

3 New Hairfun Videos
Specifically, three new amazing shampoo clips have been uploaded on YouTube. All upright, all guy-on-girl action, and all have great amounts of later - the first two are spray-bottle shampoos, and third is a shaving cream shampoo. Yay! I always love me some new hair washing clips.
Also, I'm finally able to access the shampoo section of the Hairfun website! For a while I wasn't able to, they kept asking me for a password. But after seeing those videos, I decided to give it another shot, and it's a good thing I did. I might get one this time. But which one . . .

On the Origin of Fetishes
Freud says fetishes, at least in men, are caused by early childhood trauma. The guy I'm dating now firmly believes that I was traumatized in some way that lead to me eroticizing hair washing.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Freud's work. I've had to read Anne Koedt's "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm" for, oh let's see now, four classes? Yeah, that sounds about right, maybe five, but you get the idea. I know Freud was wrong in his notion that the vaginal orgasm is more "mature" than the clitoral orgasm. I could go on and on about this, but I'll save that for another time. Perhaps another blog entirely. But if Freud was wrong about that, I'll stand to wager he was wrong about a few other things.
We've also taken significant strides to dismantle the myth that all homosexual tendencies are caused by childhood trauma. Most of the time they're just . . . there. And maybe we don't need to know why people are gay, and spend more time and energy just accepting people for who they love.
If I was traumatized as a kid, I can't remember it. At least, nothing that can be linked to this fetish. Maybe I developed a weird obsession with it as a kid for whatever reason, maybe from watching some kids' movie, and then it developed into an erotic fixation when I saw the Herbal Essences commercials.
Why do we need to pathologize every little abnormality? By that I mean, do we have to classify everyone who's just a little bit "off" as sick or broken? Unless someone's weirdness causes a legitimate problem for themselves or others, leave it alone!
There are some fetishes I think may arise from deeply entrenched sexism - like a fascination with anything having to do with dominating a woman, or the preference for very young girls even if the guy is much older. And maybe this shampoo fetish is steeped in gender norms too, maybe I've eroticized being taken care of by a guy, or many guys. The model of a woman submitting to a man in exchange for being taken care of is hundreds of years old, and was only very recently challenged in most of the developed world, where the concept of feminism is easily accessible.
In this day and age, I think one's fetishes have much more to do with the media they're exposed to than anything else. We're in a media age, where adolescents turn to the media and their peers rather than parents and teachers to learn about, well, everything. Most guys learn about sex through pornography, girls through magazines, and everyone is exposed to pornified images in advertising, movies, television, and music videos. Kids who don't learn through the media learn through their peers, but the ideas that seep into the peer culture of teens are from various forms of media. I'm sure that many fetishes probably developed from whatever an adolescent's first exposure to eroticism was, whether that was through pornography or through sexual advertising.
Early childhood trauma might be a cause or contributing factor for some people's sexual abnormalities, but I think fetishes come more from early exposure to eroticism, socialization and education of what is pleasurable, and maybe even mere childhood experiences. Whatever the cause, as long as it's not hurting anyone, maybe we should just leave it alone and embrace what makes us different, whether than fret over why we deviate from the norm.

My First Video Download
I was eighteen when I first came across shampoo videos on YouTube. Before that my only visual was the Herbal Essences commercials, but when I finally had my own laptop, and discovered how awesome it was to take said laptop into the basement and hunker down there in the summer time, I decided to search YouTube for shampoo videos. It wasn't long before I came across the Shampooguys sample videos, and I was in heaven. I'd never seen such an erotic portrayal of hair washing.
This one was my favorite. There were only a few videos of guys shampooing girls, and I liked this one the best. So naturally, a couple years later, just after I bought my first vibrator and was in the market for some "visual stimulation," that my go-to website was Shampooguys.com, and my video of choice was the one above.
Not a bad choice. The shampooing part, albeit only about a third of the actual video, was fantastic, so sensual. I couldn't get enough of it. In fact, my second video purchase was also from that website. As much as I liked the sensual nature of the video I had, I craved a little variety, and I wanted something a little more vigorous. I noticed that for that I needed a guy-on-guy video. Normally I'm not into that, but if the guy has long hair, it almost counts - it's still long hair being washed, and it's still being done by a crazy hot guy.
There seemed to be a gender dichotomy in the videos from that website. When a girl was being washed, or washing a guy's hair, it was slow and sensual. When it was a guy washing a guy's hair, it was a little more rough and vigorous. More head-scrubbing. I like scrubbing. I haven't seen this dichotomy as much in videos by other websites, which surprises me - in a good way, of course, but still.
People sometimes give me crap for paying for "porn," because there's so much free porn on the internet. Yeah, there's a lot of normal porn out there for free, fetish videos like this aren't as prevalent to be easy to find - or even exist - on torrent websites. I could just watch the YouTube videos, but it's kind of a buzzkill to have to keep restarting the video or click on a new one. I once tried to download those YouTube videos and put them in a compilation video, which I still kind of want to do, if only for my own personal use. Then again, with all I've already purchased, I'm not sure I still need it.

So Your Girlfriend Has a Shampoo Fetish
(Nope, I'm gonna write one more post before starting that paper. . . . Don't look at me like that.)
If your girlfriend has admitted to having a shampoo fetish - as in, she loves having her hair washed - don't be alarmed, I have advice for you!
1) Have shampoo and lots of conditioner at your place, stuff that she can use. They can be "girly" products (like Herbal Essences), or products that are gender neutral (Pantene). Really, you should keep stuff a girl can use somewhere in your bathroom at all times, because a girl needs to be very low maintenance to even consider using a shampoo made for guys. You may want to anticipate using lots of shampoo, and buy something inexpensive like VO5 or Tresseme. Maybe throw some shaving cream or shave gel into your arsenal while you're at it!
2) Know that being shampooed in the shower is great, but girls with this fetish usually want to be shampooed over the sink, over the tub, sitting up, in the bath, etc. Ask her where and in what position she'd like to be shampooed.
3) As far as sex goes, don't expect to receive sexual gratification during the shampoo, or even after. Don't be one of those assholes who feels entitled to sex or a blowjob just because you do something nice for a girl. Ugh, you don't want to get me started on this . . .
4) If you're unsure how to actually wash her hair, say "hello!" to YouTube! Watch videos on how to wash hair, watch videos on channels from LatherFantasies, ShampooGuys, TheHairfun, etc., they'll show you how it's done!
5) Don't be afraid of being too rough! Go with your instincts, and if you're too rough she'll tell you to be gentle. Just to be safe, encourage her to correct her if you're too rough or if she wants you to be more vigorous.
6) Focus on the scalp! This is the biggest mistake men tend to make when they wash my hair, and I'm guessing they're not the only ones. The point is to scrub and message the scalp, so only work lather through the ends if you're getting ready to pile it all on her head. Of course, if you do that, be careful! Piling can lead to tangles, and tangles lead to hair damage when it's time to comb the hair out afterwards.
7) When you're not shampooing her hair, she'll also appreciate it if you massage her scalp, brush her hair, or even gently stroke her hair. Ask her if she likes having her hair pulled, it might be a nice move to try in the bedroom.
Okay, NOW I'm gonna write my paper!

He Finally Washed My Hair
Title pretty much says it all. We've been dating for just over a month now, but this morning it finally happened.
He'd known about my fetish. He practically forced it out of me on our first date when I mentioned I had a fetish. As usual, I was shy and hesitant to tell him, but I spilled it. That morning we took a shower together and he sort of washed my hair, but only for a few seconds. Then there was the night where I asked him to wash my hair, but then I said something that made him mad and he ended up refusing. A couple weeks later we showered together again, and he didn't wash my hair, which I got upset over, and he didn't like that. At one point he said "spoiled children don't get desert." I knew I needed to stop being such a crazy bitch before he would be willing to do this for me.
There were a couple instances where I'd be at his place and he'd jump in the shower, and I would remain on the bed. For me, the only point of showering with a guy was the shampoo, that's really the only sexual thing I'm interested in doing in a shower or bath (come on, we can do all that other stuff in bed). I'd dropped the subject completely for the time being, not wanting to push it.
Then this morning, after taking a quick shower with me still asleep, he decided he wanted to take another shower before heading off to work on a class project. This time, he invited me. I didn't push the subject, I started to lather my own hair, but then he sighed and took control.
It was fantastic. He was thorough, and applied just the right amount of pressure. Later he told me he was afraid of being too rough, as one guy before had been worried about. The first guy who washed my hair was really gentle, too gentle in fact, because he didn't want to hurt me. Seems to be a trend among guys.
When we were leaving the building - he to his meeting and myself to back to my apartment for some serious cleaning (and a paper I haven't actually started yet), he mentioned the possibility of picking up some shaving cream for next time. Who knows what will happen next.
I probably shouldn't, and probably won't, recount every shampoo venture in this blog. But the first is always very exciting for me, especially when it's really good. The ones that are recounted will most likely be vague. The only detailed stories I'll post here will be fictional, if I ever get around to writing something worth publishing.
Well, my 5 Hour Energy is starting to kick in (this is the best stuff ever, like crack in a bottle, you should try it!) I should start writing that paper for my urban law class. Yeah . . .

Examining the Past
I remembered back when I was very young, probably not more than 5, when I developed my shampoo obsessions. I'll never remember exactly what opened my eyes to it, but I do have some memories.
One memory is when I would imagine a bunch of guys - male characters from movies I'd been watching - standing around a bathtub, washing my hair, though I couldn't see myself in the vision, just the guys around me. I'd ask them to stop and there'd be a collective "awwww" followed by one guy asking "just a little bit more?"
Sketchy as hell, I know.
Other images I had involved being kidnapped by someone wanting to wash my hair, or being chased. I thought it was odd that I'd be afraid of someone washing my hair, and nowadays I think it's very weird that that's what I thought a kidnapper would do, rather than rape or kill me, two acts I couldn't even imagine when I was a kid. I didn't know what rape or sex were until I was about 8, and I had no knowledge of sexual pleasure, just the pleasure I imagined I'd get from having my hair washed, and the weird idea that some guy might want to do it to me without me wanting it.
In my own way, I had already begun to conceive notions of rape, consent, and gender roles in acts of pleasure.

Other images I had involved being kidnapped by someone wanting to wash my hair, or being chased. I thought it was odd that I'd be afraid of someone washing my hair, and nowadays I think it's very weird that that's what I thought a kidnapper would do, rather than rape or kill me, two acts I couldn't even imagine when I was a kid. I didn't know what rape or sex were until I was about 8, and I had no knowledge of sexual pleasure, just the pleasure I imagined I'd get from having my hair washed, and the weird idea that some guy might want to do it to me without me wanting it.
In my own way, I had already begun to conceive notions of rape, consent, and gender roles in acts of pleasure.

Humiliation in Fetish Videos and Pornography
I consider myself a moderate pro-porn feminist: I don't object to all pornography, but I do object to certain themes, such as torture, rape, and humilation.
Humiliation seems to be a prevailing theme in the videos I've been discovering these days. Take the salon creaming videos, which are hot as I mentioned earlier, but the whole point is that all the shaving cream is meant to humiliate the subject rather than pleasure her. Then there's the video where a woman thinks she's auditioning for one thing, and then she's gunged, or covered in various messy things, with the purpose of humiliating and upsetting her - she's screaming and crying in parts of the videos.
Not okay.
Here's where I'm torn: I'm sex-positive, relatively pro-porn, and I want to be accepting of all fetishes and sexual interests. I mean, some people are just turned on by weird things. But where does it end? Should I really be okay with pedophilia? Crush videos where small animals are stepped on with spikey heels? And should it matter if certain fetishes are accepted, should non-acceptance mean that type of porn isn't made?
I guess my views on porn are the same with sex: if both parties are willing, why not? But if someone isn't willing, and lured into a room on false pretenses, I'm not really okay with that, and honestly, I don't think it should be allowed.
I realize this is less shampoo related and more related to fetish videos in general. And I'm repeating myself in the sense that I object to videos where the subject doesn't consent to what's happening.
My objection goes deeper than my empathy for those who are exploited in the making of fetish videos. I have a problem when women are unwilling participants, especially when they're humiliated, degraded or worse, because of the underlying notion that women are second-class citizens who only exist for men's pleasure whether they like it or not. And of course, there's the misguided idea that they secretly do like it and do want it done to them, they just don't know it yet.
On a final note, I do believe that forced shave videos - videos where a man cuts or shaves a woman's hair - does fall under the category of humilating fetish videos, and I definitely object to that genre.
If a woman doesn't consent to what's being done to her, it's not okay.

New Obsession
I have turned some kind of corner, and I now LOVE shampoo videos with shaving cream! The salon creaming videos might have done it for me. Before, the idea intrigued me, but I was still into the usual shampoo lather.
Actually, the first video I really liked was Shampoo of the Supervixen. It doesn't do much for me now though. Maybe it's because having her whacked in the face with the foam isn't that sexy to me, or maybe I can see how tangled her hair gets and it makes me cringe. And the fake moaning is tacky. Sure, I'd love more sensual videos where the girl is actually enjoying her shampoo rather than either taking it silently (submissive actors) or fighting the shampooer (unwilling participants). Don't get me wrong, the Salon Creaming videos rub me the wrong way in that the shampoo is meant to humiliate the subject, but the massaging and scrubbing turns me on anyway, when it's actually done (much of the videos just show the woman covered in shaving cream with text making fun of how much foam there is). *sigh* what can I say, even feminists have their guilty pleasures.
