do guys get turned off if the girl's bikini area isn't completely smooth and hairless? I mean, after we get waxed, the hair needs to be a certain length before it can be waxed again.

do you even notice that she is in between waxing cycles? I'm not even dating anyone and my last BF was always away on business trips. We didn't date long, so luckily the timing was good and I was always waxed, so I'm just wondering, thanks.

If any man would be "turned off" by a little stubble, he'd be too "high maintenance" for me.

My husband often goes without shaving for a few days if we're not doing anything in particular. There's also been times when he's trying to grow a goetee`, mustache, or a beard. So, yes, there's going to be hair on his face. *It* doesn't turn me off, because *he* turns me on.

I think that we've evolved into picky, whining, high-maintenance, stuck-up, humans. I get a kick out of the young women today complaining about how much of a "turn-off" a guy who has hair is. That's just ludicrous. Men have hair, and some have lots of it. To expect a man to wax his whole body, and maintain that look, is just crazy.

Up until the recent bald-genital craze, women had hair between their legs, and men were still (shocker!) turned-on. Watch George Lopez's new stand up HBO special. He talks about this very thing. He talks about how a natural woman's pubic hair is the sexiest thing (he even describes the happy trail of it that leads up to her anus).

Anyhow...it's your body, and you have to do what makes you happy first and foremost. It's not unreasonable to not be perfect and dilligent, when there is so much to do in this busy life. If you don't "feel" like shaving that day, then if your man is "turned-off" by that, you should really re-think what it is about you that actually "turns him on."

I'm LOL at your post, rain_dancer_iam, because I'm old enough to remember when it was considered shocking that photos of women in Penthouse actually showed the model's pubic hair -- the photos in Playboy all had it airbrushed away, along with any hint of an actual vagina. Anyone who's seen any porn from the 60's and 70's has also seen (and been turned on by) porn stars with an actual bush, which is practically unheard of today.

...and not so long ago, the "happy trail" that lead from a man's pubic mound up to just bellow his belly button, was enough to make a woman become sexually aroused.

Pubic hair serves many a "good" purpose for the genitals, one of which is the "pheromones" that attach to them to attract a compatible mate (diverse immune systems to ensure the healthiest offspring). It's no wonder that relationships fail so much today...people are eliminating an important mechanism that subconsciously attracts us to a compatible mate (not to mention all of the cologne and perfume we consume that masks it).

Oh, the imagery of wandering drones circling and circling each other wondering what it is that they are suppose to do together. There's some semblence of familiarity of days gone by, but they just can't seem to put their finger on it. tee hee

I think its very sad that girls nowadays are so damn concerned that they need to be hairless down there to have sex or be attractive! I am a 26 year old man, i'm educated with a masters degree and am a clean person. I love the appearance of pubic hair because its a sex characteristic whatever todays fashion trends say. I like pubic hair on myself and my girlfriend. Actually i find a bald bikini area to be a super turnoff. My philosophy is that it looks pre-pubescent. Whether you agree or not is your opinion but I think hair in that area is very sexy and frankly I wouldnt mind it being bushy down there either!

my bf has facial hair, a full beard and moustache, and sometimes he doesn't trim or shave it for weeks. if i had stubble down there and my bf told me he didn't like it or it was a turn off, i would tell him to go f**k himself.

why do we spend hours upon painful hours trying to 'perfect' ourselves for each other when it's not possible? were human, we grow hair on our bodies. that's the way it works. being completely hairless all the time is unrealistic, and if your bf doesn't like that little fact then he's got problems.

I understand, and really appreciate the sacrifices you ladies go through to make us guys happy. I know that waxing is an exercise in Medieval torture. I would never complain about it, even though licking stubble isn't the most fun.

I love my lady bare down there, no question. I would say get a good Brazilian wax, then get this little shaver called the personal shaver, it is amazing. No razor burn, no bumps , and no stubble. It's a little on the pricey side but well worth it.

I'm sorry ladies. I'm sorry that so many guys have pushed this shave bald trend within the last 8-10 years. Lets not forget that this is a fairly new trend. I dont know how things were in the 30s, 40s, 50's but being hairy down there was very common for the majority of men and women in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s! I am also sorry that so many women have bought into this for reasons other than they truly like it bald down there. Most of the time I hear it is something to shave or wax because thats all guys like and thats flat out BS because I for one like it hairy down there on a girl because its natural and sexy. I appreciate the fact that women shave their legs and underarms because women are beautiful and its good to see a woman is willing to do things to better their appearance for men, etc. but going below the belt where the sun doesnt shine and the public doesnt see unless you are someone who likes public nudity is friggin ridiculous to me and i've been fighting this fight against guys and some guy influenced girls I know for a number of years. unfortunately i am seriously outnumbered these days. Why was it ok and common place to be hairy just 10-15 years back but now all the sudden its not ok????? Are we al;l the sudden so much more enlightened? Is hair down there that naturally kind of forms into a geometric triangle really all that unsightly? We're not talking stray hairs here we are talking the second largets concentration of hair on the human body and we're going hairless down there? Whats next? Lets all start shaving our eyebrows off too because body hair is "unsightly". Friggin crazy. If its all about oral then I can attest to the fact that I enjoy giving oral and the girl is hairy down there. I deal and it works for me and I think its sexy. Yeah thats right!

Ahem,
Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, is that far enough back for you, or how about Boticelli, and some of the other Ren artists! We live in a free world. Women don't do what they do because men force them into it, they have a choice and the ability to say no. Yes, they do have free will, and I respect it. If you think it is men who control women then you need a wake up call. If you like hair, good on ya, go with it.

Pubic haor serves three major puposes:

It helps to trap body heat in an area that gives off a lot of body heat, thus keeping us warm.

It holds a womens scent when she is aroused and ready to mate.

It provides a form of dry lubrication to prevent frictin from intercourse.

So hey, if your concerned your lady might catch a cold, and you rely on your nose to find her, and when you do, you would rather not splurge on a tasty lube, then knock yourself out

It is not natural for us to fly or move over 6 mph, but we do. Save the conspiracy theory!

my bf doesnt really care if i have hair or keep it trimmed,shaved etc down there.. i personally like a wide right-side-up triangular shaped landing strip down there as it keeps my hair neat plus it is a nice look. i have very thick hair that grows fast and i also dont like the way i look bare when i have tried it in the past. occasionally i will let it all grow out but when i do i still have to do around the edges.
