What do you guys think of .....shaving "down there"?? Or is it just trim and go kinda thing....Some people say no way and others say sure why not
personally I never really thought about it...but when my bf (now my x) got together he really liked me shaved and smooth now that I am not with him...it really doesnt matter to me which way to go...I like both....but i dont want to be gross out the opposite sex with either action when the time comes...so how do you know what to do???? __________________ "You look at me, and you dont like what you see.

hey good question. I've often pondered the same thing.
It seems to vary from one guy to the next as to what they prefer, for various reasons. Ireally don't care what my 'hair status' is....but have found guys are quick enough to let you know what they like.

Presumably you might have a clue when he'll see it for the first time and can talk about it before then? :-) My husband and I enjoyed joint fantasies, talking about taking showers together, etc. and it would have been easy to say something then and have a clue as to his preferences. I'd grow it out so you would have either option available. Would be sad if you had it "short" when someone wanted it fuller

I've never shaved there. For me, shaved is creepy lol. I had a boyfriend suprise me with the shaved look and it creeped me out; he looked like a kid and for me that was just wrong lol. But to each is own. I trim.....just to keep it not so bushy. I've never really had a guy say anything. But I'm not a very hairy person either lol. My ex asked me to shave once and I adamently refusued. I already shave my legs darnit!! No more!

lol...see my mom is like Ray.....and it always confused me because she had such strong opinions...(my mother always has strong opinions....lol) she even likes her husband (my stepfather) to have a hair chest...which is the kind that creeps me out...well alot of it i mean...i love leaning my head into a guys chest but i am afraid i will get a hair in my mouth and ulitimiatly puke (i have a very sensitive stomach) I also like a guy shaved down there...but it doesnt have to be ...i guess when I heard my mom "voice" her opinions about being shaved It was almost like i took on her likes and dislikes..i didnt know what i wanted...so ...i went with what she liked....and then i never got yelled at ...lol....but now im starting to see different views...and i guess i wanted to make sure others were on the fence as I was......roflmao....i didnt want to be an oddity (lol not like already am )
I think i just had a breakthrough.....hmmm __________________ "You look at me, and you dont like what you see. But this is the price of living with you, Mother. " - White Oleander |

I think if a person were hairless "down there", it would evoke images of a child and I am not sexually attracted to children. If a guy wanted me to shave down there, I would be creeped out, and wonder if he had pedophile tendencies? I have never shaved or trimmed down there. The hair doesn't keep growing long like the hair on your head. It seems to have a fixed length. No need to trim, at least for me.

usually, i don't care whether if i have hair "down there" or not. i can go either way, but would prefer not to shave because of the time it takes me to do that. i have shaved down there before not to please a guy, but to feel "cleaner" when i menstruated (because the hairs get stuck together and all).

Yeah, I'm ambivalent, too. I've decided I quite like it trimmed really quite short. But shaving does get itchy and it takes ages to get everything all smooth and then it is scratchy the next day. I get ingrown hairs and bumps when I do that too which I really don't like.
I think you can wax but you need to use a sugar based wax (cooler temperature). Meant to hurt, though. Rather like waxing your pits, I guess. I epilate my pits and was thinking of epilating down there. Not sure though. I guess you do your bikini line and then gradually remove more of it over time as you start to get used to the pain... |

ive shaved since i was like 15 but i just feel icky if i dont. thats just me though. hair is just too itchy, especially the kind that grows there. and come on....this is a women's forum....we can say vulva
i think it also reduces the "crotch" smell lol. i thought most women did shave? i think that any guy youre going to want to be with shouldnt care. i told my boyfriend "in the winter, i dont wear shorts and dont like shaving my legs. so if you feel like taking on that challenge go right ahead" and he doesnt care. lol. and sunrise, i actually had a guy say that to me. he told me he didnt like me shaving but i dont like being all hairy. so he shaved everything!!! came out of the bathroom and i could not stop laughing. and he goes "now doesnt this look funny to you?" and i said yes and he goes "well there ya go." lol.he said he felt like a pedophile and didnt like it. |

the first time i actually shaved it was in "rejection of adulthood". and as much as i still miss being a child i figured it wasnt worth the itchiness etc.
trim seems adequet for me though i wish it just never grew there in the first place! wouldnt that save a drama?? __________________ |

Wow, can't believe I'm asking this, but if you want to go for the trimmed look, how do you do it? Do you just take haircutting scissors and hack away? Or do you use a special razor that leaves a half inch or so behind? (I know there are special razors men use on their faces that leaves hair behind for the "unshaven" look.) How much do you leave behind if you want the trimmed look? An inch? A half inch? A quarter inch?
