If all women were porn stars, we would all have Brazilian waxes. But we live in the real world, where pubic hair landscaping comes in all forms, from wild and free to totally bare to these terrifying
pubic wigs (yes, that's
pink fake fur).
The apparent Brazilian obsession has gotten a lot of backlash from many, who argue that its prepubescent look makes it creepy. Proponents argue that it's all about the feel, since having a Brazilian apparently makes that whole area sensitive.
I say, to each his own. And thank heavens for that, because waxing is inhumanly painful. Except, of course, that how you groom your hair down there can sometimes affect your sex life.
For example, I generally don't care about manscaping, unless I'm going down on the guy. Hair stuck in my throat or teeth do not make for a pleasant experience. I'll do it anyway, but I prefer the guy to be trimmed at least a little.
As for the other extreme? Every guy I've been with has had some hair, and I think I prefer it that way. This feels odd to say, but somehow the idea of hair there makes it seem more manly. Which is strange to think about a penis, but it's kind of true. I would be surprised if a man I was with was totally bare. Not necessarily in a bad way, but in a hmmm that's interesting way.
And for the women? I really have no idea what's popular and what's expected, though I suspect that men feel the same way I feel about them. And while Brazilians are supposedly all the rage, I know few women who've actually done it. Then again, my friends and I don't exactly spend our free time talking about the grooming of our pubic hair.
Still, I've always been curious. How do you groom down there? Do you have a preference for how your sex partners do so?Image Source

Every girl I know personally (myself included) shave it all off regularly, as with our legs. I don't do it for men, I do it for me. The sight of a bush between my legs creeps me out. Also, most guys I know have never been with a girl who had pubic hair, at least anything more than a landing strip. I've never had a guy be suprised that there was no hair. Some have asked me to grow it, maybe out of curiosity since they don't know what it's like... I never do.
It's the same effect as a Brazillian but without the pain and redness, but also without the long-lasting results. I have GIVEN 2 Brazillians before, but it was a one time thing for both clients. They normally shave. I think majority of women who get Brazillians are just seeking a possible better alternative to shaving. And it sounds cooler than "I'm gonna shave every nook and cranny"
OH! And by the way- I HATE when a man is clean shaven. It reminds me of changing a baby boys diaper. Men should not be smooth.
not a fan of bushes. freshly grown stubble is what I prefer. freshly grown sounds herbal and um, refreshing like herbal essence shampoo. I never waxed. I shave and have some stubble. fair enough.
i prefer doing it neanderthal--full bush, unshaved legs and armpits. even better if they have a bit of a mustache and a unibrow, too. if you watch kung fu movies from the 60s, the chicks have sideburns. also hot. i just love hair on chicks. it's so feminine.
now, if only you'd all grow a penis, too. that would really make my day. cause i am all about that shit.
i hooked up with a half-pakistani girl once. that was like...whoa.
I've had my nether regions waxed for years before it became de rigeur nowadays. Personally, I prefer it this way. It feels clean and fresh. And because I do it, it doesn't mean the person I'm with is attracted to pre-pubescent bodies. To each his/her own. As for my significant other, I like it when he trims the hedges in his "garden".
@oneLBcloser@xanga - How is a woman with no hair
notlike changing a baby? It's the same concept, very few women are naturally hairless after puberty, just like very few men are naturally hairless...
Oh wait, I forgot, half the world wants a woman's breast and hips, and a little girl's everything else.
I think real men like real women with *some* hair, at least. It shows they're not a little girl.
I definitely don't maintain myself for sake of others. I do it regardless of if I have a significant other or not, because I find hair to be itchy, uncomfortable, and ugly when I look down. I shave every time I'm in the shower, just like my legs and underarms. I'm interested in a wax, because it would have a smoother feel than shaving, but I've never taken the opportunity. I also think that the pre-pubescent thing is strange. Women don't look at men who shave their faces and think "oh my goddddddd, I can't date him..HE looks pre-pubescent!" I think its kind of along the "hipster" line to look at shaved/waxed lady bits and be "disgusted", but who knows. I can also see it being effected a lot by what actions you are doing. Having sex...no big deal...going down on a woman and licking hair? Have you ever licked hair? If not, go lick someone's head and see how it feels.
That being said, I prefer my men with no hair, or trimmed very closely. It makes them look bigger, too.
I shave/wax everything smooth... but I HATE manscaping. Grow it all men, grow. it. allllllll. out.
I shave, but unless the guy is really special I'm lazy round the lips.
The guy has to be either shaven or trimmed. As long as it's not in my way. My ex used to not shave and it was soooooo gross, but then he started trimming it! ^_^
I have a short trim down there. Pretty much zero on the clippers and snip, snip where ever I can. I just prefer to feel of it, not sexually, but grooming wise. It's easy to clean my groin and stuff without some useless hair.
I trim and make sure it looks (and is) clean. I don't shave it though. I learned the hard way that my skin is way too sensitive for that. Plus I get all self-concious because I get a little paranoid that I nicked myself down there or something. I don't wax because it hurts too much. I'm really self-concious about the fact that I don't shave it all off though. Most guys request that I do.
I don't care what a guy does with his pubic hair. It's great when they trim it, but whatever works for my significant other works for me.
Big question is: why are people obsessing for this pre-pubertal image of the genitals? Pedobear all the way I say.
It creeps me out if I see someone with no hair down there. It's unnerving. You know who has no hair down there? Babies, toddlers and pre-pubescent children. Hair is a sign that you're an adult, grown up and sexually mature. I will never understand why people are attracted to people who make their genitals look like those of pre-pubescent children. I shave mine so that it's neat and so I can wear a bikini and nice underwear, but I do NOT shave it all off. It's creepy to me.
i love it clean. period+hair= yuck. all your other arguments are invalid. :P
Well I like mine with a "landing strip" and not much more. I've (from shaving and waxing) had to have minor surgery twice to have ingrown hairs removed (very painful and must be packed and left open to heal) It could possibly happen again but I will not allow the "hedges" to hide prime real estate. As far as being totally shaven...my last 2 boyfriends did say it did appear "child-like" and made them uncomfortable.
uhh, i shave it completely off. i haven't even thought about the pre-pubescent thing, y'all are creepy.
I'm anti-hair. I shave everything off, been doing it since i was 16. I prefer it bare, it's easier in my opinion. As far as men go, i really don't care either way - but sometimes a lot of hair can be kind of rough on my parts.
I gotta shave. Can't stand it. It's not for my partner's sake, either. I've just done it since I was 14, cause it makes Me feel better. I prefer the guy/girl to shave too though. It doesn't have to stay smooth All the time, cause I know I can get slack sometimes. (That's mostly just to lessen the razor burn though, to be honest.) But, just as long as there isn't a damn forest down there, I'm good.
i feel unsanitary if i don't shave. my boyfriend doesn't care either way, but i imagine he dislikes having hair in his mouth as much as i do, which is why he trims xD
How is shaving less of a hassle? stubble itches and ingrown hairs are a PAIN.
I'm all for "trimming" but against "shaving;" it's important to be hygienic, but having your lover feel or brush against your body hair can feel AMAZING if you do it right.
no bits of food stuck down there plz.
