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.
