You're not alone,I do the same thing only differnce is I pull hair from my head AND pubic area but also keep little hair balls that I have to always have between my fingers. And as far as a relationship goes I have been with my husband over ten years and maybe this is sick,or just love but he lets me pull his pubes out he just gets mad when I make a big knot.Sooo hopefully knowing this type of madness goes on you don't feel too wierd now =)

Thanks for the reassurance. I feel nuts for doing it, but it's.... I can't even explain and I'm sure you get it... a compulsion, I guess.

There is part of me that wants to stop because it's so weird. Like walking around with a big secret like that isn't very comfortable. But on the other hand, I really love it. It's so satisfying. I don't know. Maybe if I ever get interested in anyone else that will be some motivation to actually stop.

And speaking of disturbing stuff... I eat my hair too. So now everything is out on the table, haha.

It's ok we all have our crazy little things.i habe to have the blinds drawn always,suck ny thumb constantly and won't leave the house unless my hair balls are in my pocket.

omg i also pull from my pubic area, along with my head, brows, lashes, stomach and arms. Don't worry you aren't alone. And eating them is also totally normal related disorder, i think its called trichophagia, but you should tell your doctor, I know it sounds horrifying but the hairs build up in your body and can cause problems. For your own saftey you should tell your doctor, just so the doctor can be on the lookout for any problems. I dont eat my hairs but I play with them in my mouth. So dont worry you totally arent the only one.

Very rarely do I pull from my pubic area, but I do it sometimes. I mostly pull from my head and am getting thin areas on parts of my scalp. I sometimes make hair balls and put in my pocket. I also put it in my mouth and pull to straighten my hair strand or break it. Sometimes I eat the hair bulb. I haven't cut my hair in a long while because the last time I did the lady said she noticed my hair looked damaged. I didn't feel comfortable. I don't live in a big city so their is no such thing as trich friendly hairstylists. I'm trying not to pull but am failing. So you are not alone.

completely not alone. i started pulling from my pubic area as soon as hair started growing there. that was the only place i pulled from until college, when i moved to my head and then after college to my brows and lashes. it does feel good, it's relaxing. but i wish i had known more about this in the beginning. now it's to a point where i praise myself for only pulling pubes and not pulling anywhere else, like that's an "okay" spot to pull from because it's not visible to anyone else. (and in bikini season you don't want hair there anyway!)

When I'm really anxious/feeling guilty about something I mindlessly with pull my pubic hair. Its so strange, but it doesnt bother me because I do it rarely.

Hello, thanks for posting cos I thought I was the only one who did this, haha! Guess we really are never alone are we??

I too have OCD, and have been in a situation just like you where I felt I was carrying around a secret and it got to me and it made me feel dirty and awful and it was all I could think about. But I think this is part of OCD, which is a disorder that can make you overthink things sometimes. Don't let it get to you like that.
I don't feel like it should have any effect on whether you get a boyfriend or not. This is a bit private and you don't have to respond to this but as a female, we have the option to shave or wax our downstairs area... I do this every now and then. Basically, if you pull enough pubes from one area, it's not even noticable if you shave/wax the rest.

May I suggest waxing- not only the bikini line- but, how do I explain this, not so much a "hollywood" or "brazillian" but what I do is often wax the top of my downstairs, just below the belly then shave the rest. I like getting it waxed cos I like the feeling of them all coming out. And this is weird but as mentioned already, we all have weird things we do, I like seeing the hairs on the wax strip. It gives me satisfaction of some sort. Maybe you could try this? You can get home waxing strips but be sure to use them right. And don't let your habit put you off going to a salon to get it done. Beauticians have always seen weirder things than a bad habit.

If you do this, hopefully it'll give you the satisfaction you need and also there'll be no hairs to pull out, and they won't be growing at different rates.
Just be sure that doing this doesn't make you want to pull any other hairs out.

Hope this is somewhat helpful to you. I was pleased to see someone else does this too.
