Shaved or not shaved, that is the question!

Contributor: Darling Dove Darling Dove
I usually shave but have been considering alternate hair removal methods since doing it can be a pain, and I only can do it once or twice a week at the most due to sensitivity.

Tuesday - I feel for you, living with a purist can be a challenge. These questions may help you find a crack in the facade!

Does he have a full beard? Do your underarms look like a man - your legs too?

We all make compromises with 'natural' vs. 'style' - in this case style follows function - because your skin will be exposed - and much more sensitive - all enhancing your sexual experience.

I started shaving first - because I like to lead with action. How could I ask her to if I didn't. Anyway she followed my lead - and as usual she's glad she did!

I shave, but for my own benefit. I just prefer going without hair. I usually do it once or twice a week; sometimes I get waxed, but only when I want to, and not often. It's expensive, and it doesn't last long enough for my tastes... I've taken to tweezing some of it, which sounds a lot worse than it is [only during or immediately after a hot shower, only the mons, and I don't bother getting every hair, just most of them]. I find it's a lot easier to shave after doing that.

He doesn't shave, but he keeps it trimmed... It's funny as he has very un-hairy thighs, and then it's a big sea of hair.

I keep it natural and I'm a pretty hair girl. I wax my butt crack when it gets to be too much for anal sex or hygiene and tweeze my brows but that's the only body hair I remove.

I am on a few different porn/fetish forums and you'd be surprised how rude some people can be about it. You can't even see any of my other hair but a little pubic hair makes people freaaaak out.

@Domineight
I am sorry bout that .
I guess people today are really not into hair (I hate how it looks on me and have considered waxing just because shaving doesn't get close enough).. and I am a guy, haha.

@Alt

(sorry I'm not sure how to quote on here yet!)

True, but I'm not into lots of things and I wouldn't leave a nasty comment on someone's photo because of it.

I should ad on that same site people can post scat content and be praised (not that I have a problem with scat but that is something the general public might find icky) but a picture of me with a manicured bush stirred up comments about "wanting to puke". Without being too cock I'm a relatively thin extremely busty young lady. Having a bush was enough to disgust people. Part of me wonders to a degree if people are MORE disgusted that I'm a young kinky woman and the hairiness doesn't fit into their ideal of what that is supposed to be.

I realize it isn't everyone's thing but part of me does have to wonder why today it is almost nobody's thing and people are literally outraged when a woman doesn't remove their body hair.

I am not really sure why.
Although I think if us guys hold girls to the *must at least shave* standard then we must abide by the same rule (or else it wouldn't be fair)

That is interesting though that you have waxed your ass before, specifically for anal. Sounds like you are a pro, but people dont realize it (I'd love to try waxing but too scared. I can only stand to tweeze the pubic hair above my penis, anything on the balls or butt hurt wayyyy too much!)

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, sounds like some people over there are just somewhat backwards.
Indeed I would prefer if the girl waxed or shaved, but I hold my self to the same standard, haha.

True true. And I totally wasn't trying to suggest people aren't entitled to a preference. It just makes me sad there's been such a large cultural shift that seems to be obsessed with baldness.

For some reason waxing doesn't really hurt me much (with the exception of the outer labia close to the ladybits and armpits. armpits are HELLISH.) I have a high pain tolerance I just prefer the look of hair. I also prefer hairy men, though I think out of courtesy a little trimming is nice.

Well I might have to try waxing my butt then. But I have a feeling it's going to hurt really bad, haha.

I don't know why everyone likes the look and feel of hairlessness (including myself). I guess its just going against what our body is supposed to look like.

I imagine I'm the exception. Everyone else seems to think its terribly painful. So If you do it be careful and keep aloe or something around!

I didn't vote since you didn't include my option. I had laser hair removal to create just a landing strip and remove everything else. I am SO happy I did this. The amount of time and stress I've saved to not have to worry about this any longer - no more ingrown hairs, no wore unsightly bikini line (it was bad) - well, it's a lot of time I get back.

What kinda cost does this have, because I've definitely been looking into it because I greatly dislike trying to shave when I don't have my contacts in because I just seem to miss so much, lol

i say trimmed. For me, i think completely nude is too....prepubescent. And you don't have to shave commpletely for a man to go down on you. So I say, stay a woman and just trim down there. But people's opinons vary on this.

But honestly, however you like it. Whatever makes you feel comfortable with you.

KinkyShay - That's amazing! I would think that getting your labia lazed - would be painful. I've heard that permanent laser hair removal takes several treatments - did you need multiple treatments or did it work the first time?

I go through stages. I like to keep it under a certain length, but the amount of area I shave varies. A little hair down there makes me feel sexy. I use a bikini trimmer instead of a razor, but in my opinion it gets close enough to the skin, and it prevents ingrowns! Pretty cheap in the long term for something that's fast and painless.

I have terrible eczema so when I shave it causes patches of raw skin. Both guys figure that this is too much to ask so I'm all natural. Sigel would prefer shaved but doesn't like to see me in pain and Arch prefers the feel of hair during sex. Neither cares beyond what makes me comfortable and the red itchy skin looks visually unappealing so ya...natural is in! I will trim to keep the hair manageable and it makes it nicer for oral sex.

Where's my "I wax" option?!

I do wax. Although for years I didn't because I though it was stupid, detrimental, porn-y, child-like, etc. etc. And then I did for an article I was writing.

Turns out, it sucks (painful) while it's being done, but omg... best. sex. evah. I am so much more sensitive when I'm waxed, and it makes for lots of mouthplay and clitplay, I enjoy masturbation more and come more easily, and it's even better for anal (in my opinion). So, yeah, I'll never stop waxing probably.

It's not a "partner" thing -- I wax even when I'm the only one who's enjoying the benefits of it.

I'm a trim and tidy person. I agree to me no hair on a woman just looks prepubescent and on a guy alien. I prefer trimmed. Not enough hair to get in the way of oral but enough to give some sexy shading and know that we are adults. Bare is a bit of a turn off for me, because of my prepubescent association with it. Sometimes I will shave on the outer labia but, usually it's just kept extra short.

Even when I tried waxing I got terrible ingrown hairs and itchy irritated bumps within 3-4 hours after getting waxed. Tweezing by hand (my bikini area mostly) was way better and less irritating than waxing. But, that is *really* time consuming.

I'd totally be interested in hearing more from the people who use the epilators.

I started out shaving it all but that didn't last too long. For a long while now I've had the runway. Since I'm a pilot I was considering putting runway numbers above it. A 18 actually for anyone who knows a little aviation. LOL

Okay, I hope that someone is awake this my first reply. I am a 46 yr old male.I have never shaved, down south. I am anti deforestation. I love the woods. The hair on a woman arouses me. I am clean. And I would shower, groom anyway to make my partner more comfortable and to enlist her wants, needs and desires. However, I don't want too much hair that it goes beyond the sexual region (front to back). But, I like the hair down there. At minimum a notch, an Adolf,landing strip or a wild bush. I love going down on a woman almost as much as intercourse. I rather give her that pleasure. I am flexible. Got to be. A woman's pleasure is #1 on my list. She is always taken care of first.

I don't. Did once, hated both the feeling and the strange sensation that I had become pre-pubescent again. The itching when the hair was coming back in would have been enough to turn me off it for life if nothing else.

I'm still rather of the opinion (no offense to any here) that smooth pubes = pre-pubescent. Ergo, those that want hairless vag want little girls (I know, not the case, and again no fingers pointed). If a man ever told me to lose the pubes I'd tell him where to shove it.

I don't know if this Post is still a good topic. But, I have read many of the comments. And, the one thing I have read is how many problems people have with the actual process and or the result. Chafing, razor burn, nicks, cuts, the difficulty with how much or little (accuracy) with the tools employed. I look forward to my next lover. I hope she will let me help. If it is ok with her of course. I have been shaving my face for years and I can yield a razor with precision. I would love to do this for my lover. I would find this runs with being aloud to massage, primp. I am no stylist, but I feel the angle, view and access that a partner can offer, may help. I appreciate the things women to look better. If she says no. No means no. I get that. I just thought I would offer that up. Any thoughts. Or are we done with this category. If so.
I will take Sex and the Incredible Edible Box for 500 points and a game I can't wait to be in again, again and again. It's been too long. Lover are you out there? Have we met? Hey, guys have sad Saturday nights also.
