I know this is a strange fetish, but how often do you shave your armpits?



  • Every day
  • Every 2 or 3 days
  • Every 4 or 5days
  • Every 6 or 7 days
  • I let it grow over 1 week before shaving
  • I let it grow over 2 weeks before shaving
  • I don't shave my armpits


You will not be able to change your vote.

I voted for every two weeks, but in truth, it's when I remember - which isn't very often. I've even discovered that the only place my legs have dark hair is on the inside of the lower halves. So I only shave that bit! And only when I remember.

And never in winter.

Kat,

I, like your DH, love to carress my wife's underarms during play. I don't know why ( and really don't spend too much time worrying about 'why'). She isn't freaked out by it so I go with the flow. I do, sometimes, catch an elbow in the forehead since she is very ticklish, ouch!

My DH said he's attracted to them because they feel like baby skin. I guess because they're almost always protected from sunlight, etc. much like breasts. Makes sense.

I couldn't vote because there isn't anything close to what my choice would be. My choice would be "Only when I have to" because I only shave my underarms if someone is going to see them. So in the summer when I wear a lot of sleeveless outfits, I shave almost every day. But in the winter, when I wear mostly long sleeves or sweaters, I basically only shave when I know I'm going to be intimate with a boyfriend. I would never shave my underarms at all if more Americans were accepting of it. But, unfortunately, most Americans think it's gross, and I don't want people making fun of me behind my back.

Maria Italy80, I'm an American, but I don't think armpit hair is the least bit gross. In fact, I think it's really sexy. I wish I could find a girlfriend who thinks like you! Please e-mail me, I'd love to chat with you.

I don't think it is a strange fetish at all. Being a woman, it is totally fine. I think just it is a way to keep ourselves clean. I shave once a week because I get razor burn.
