Shaved or not shaved, that is the question!

I was referring a little more towards the sensation of the hair growing back in than any problems with the shaving itself (though there are several posts about that throughout this thread) As much as I lovee my husband, I don't think I'd let him down there with a razor of any sort: way too delicate an area to be relying on someone else's steady (or not) hand.

I voted I shave the labia but leave a lil' patch. I actually get a Brazilian and I leave a lil landing strip or a triangle depending on my mood. I've been getting waxed for 10 years at the same salon so they know my preferences and they do an amazingly painless job. My mother insisted that my 2 sisters and I get waxed opposed to shaving. Why? who knows.. my mother is what you call a fashionista or cougar and I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I love her for that too!

I used to shave because the guy I was dating (now my husband, actually) liked it. But then he was gone on a 5-month research trip and it was just me and the vibrator. I didn't have to shave, and I realized I LIKED it that way. So I quit shaving. I just like the look of a full bush better, and honestly, I hate shaving - it's a waste of my time. Boyfriend was a little weirded out at first, but we've been together for 5 years, so clearly it wasn't an issue. Some of the other guys I sleep with are weird about it, but that's not my problem.

I shave all of it. I have absolutely no hair. I’m not against it; I actually grow it out sometimes. My dominant and I are long distance so when I’m not motivated to do so I don't. I prefer the skin on skin feeling when I masturbate but that could just be me.

This can be a hairy situation. A lot of great points. It is one of my favorite things to admire about the women I am with. And, if the view or area changes from time to time. That is fine with me. It is her that I live to be with and I will do just about anything to make her happy. Especially, down there. I have no problem visiting the Love Triangle.

I shave everything except the labia. Totally shave my bikini line and pubic mound, and then just trim the rest of the hair with scissors. I've shaved completely bald twice before and totally hated it. Even when it was just done and nice and smooth, I didn't like how it felt. I also didn't like how it looked at all. Neat and trimmed is much more appealing, aesthetically and physically, in my opinion.

I used to shave everything until I realized how ridiculously mouth-like it looked :/
Now I leave a little tuft in the middle, sometimes even cut it into a little heart shape. (Note: if you attempt this pattern and your significant other goes down on you, it WILL make he/she look like Hitler. Laughing is generally not warmly accepted during these situations, especially with no explanation.)

When I shave I shave it all, but I really prefer not to shave at all. I rather like having the hair. My partner likes when there is nothing left at all, so sometimes he gets what he wants and some months i get what i want.

I shave it all constantly. I'm married in a 24/7 BDSM relationship, and that's how Master prefers it. If it were up to me, (or he didn't have a preference) I would probably trim it. I do like the feel of it shaved all the way, though.

I keep things tidy, and sometimes to amuse myself I'll trim down to a landing strip. I don't like to be all bare though, not a fan of the look, and won't do it just for a guy.

I don't like to have pubic hair especially when sexually active. I shave even tho, I don't really need to because the hair is really thin from chemo. That was one of my favorite things about chemo is I didn't have to shave.

I'm like Big Foot..also, FYI: From a medical standpoint, the pubic hair is designed to act somewhat like eyelashes do. Keep dirt and bacteria out of the area. So, while trimming would be okay, shaving really ISN'T physically healthy..this comes from my Gyno. You can really get severe infections/MRSA/horrib le razor burn not to mention ingrown hairs that can lead to boils and such..Trim? Yes. Shave? No.

Damn straight!

Although I trim, I usually leave some short hair on my Labia Majora, because the idea of a razor near my inner labia or clitoris makes me tres nervous!

My Man couldn't care less, he likes hair, he likes it the way I wear it, HE realizes is isn't' HIS body, it's mine and that it has very little impact, either way, on real, honest hot sex. He has never had a razor nor anything else near his balls or pubes and I couldn't care less, because it's HIS body and it's not up to me to tell him what to do with it.

Hair doesn't make people dirty. Does someone have a "filthy" scalp if they have hair on it? Do men with beards and mustaches have "filthy" faces? Is your head "disgusting and gross" because it's covered in hair? Of course not.

To each their own, but I think people should give their LOVERS the benefit of the doubt and let THEM choose what they do to their bodies. I have to wonder about the "fear of pubic hair" and the fear of a strong, ADULT woman, in guys who are frightened of a little bush. PREFERENCE is one thing, outright disgust or rejection or forcing a woman to do something to her body SHE doesn't WANT TO DO is something else.

Mileage blah blah blah blah

After decades of shaving almost every day, I had every single centimeter of it(labia,mound,even the crack of my ass)treated by laser hair removal and I am thrilled, so is the husband. Smoother than a newborn babies butt. (note--a good side effect of the laser for me...it actually lightened up the darker labia skin a bit.My esthetician said it does that to some people.) Had laser hair removal treatments for under the arms as well. Don't need it on my legs since I really don't have but 10-20 hairs on both legs combined and I can pluck them out with tweezers in about 10 minutes and be smooth for a month.I don't care if "styles" change, for me, having laser hair removal was one of the best things I did. After all, it is MY body and I don't have to answer to anyone else about what I do to my body.

It really depends on my mood, and what hubby wants. He really enjoys her hairy, so I try to just trim her up and shave the bikini line, but I prefer her naked! No hair at all!

I shave my pussy, but not my legs

No one has ever commented, including men I've slept with. And no, I'm not blonde, Asian, or any other type of person with barely any body hair.

I used to hate shaving, and I would keep it trimmed, but when i finally got around to shaving- for the boyfriend, I didn't stop. It feels cleaner. But the itch is terrible when the hair starts to grow back. If it didn't scare the daylights out of me, I'd wax.

I'm going to say "other." I'm all about the brazilians! I used to shave but that's a pain and it's somewhat uncomfortable when all the hair is growing back. I have an awesome esthetician and she waxes me and the hair grows back thinner. I'm even starting to get baldish patches!

For years I have been going back and forth. As a red head, I have always been a little self concious about my pubic hair. I don't really enjoy shaving, but whenever I grow it out I dislike it even more....One of these days I'll make up my mind.

I shave the labia, but that's it. I get razor burn way too easily to shave any more than that.
I don't remember who posted it, but someone compared their hairless pussy to a baby's bottom...Do we want our genitals to be reminiscent of babies? lol Wow.
I'm not judging, I'm just sayin'....
I like pubic hair - I don't even want my man to trim.

I dont like to shave all the way because I always miss a spot. Plus when it grows back for me, it gets very itchy inside there. I like to shave everything except my "landing strip." But I have hair trimmers that I use on the lowest guard setting and I trim that. I use a #1 guard and it makes the hair really short but not to the point where its prickly. I hate prickly!
