Shave or Not Down there?

Hi, This is my first time posting a question on this board. I have read many of the topics on this board. I just want to know if men like there women to shave/trim down there, and is it completely shave, or leave some hair. I haven't had intercourse or oral, and I don't want to scare my partner by having a lot of hair down there, if he has been with women with less hair down there. He might be okay with hair down there, but I know in my head I will be self consciece about it, and it might ruin the experience, which I don't want. So what is the norm?
Thanks

Welcome to the board, j!

First of all, if your partner doesn't like you the way you are, then some would say that should be the one getting scared away. I say let your own choice be the norm, just like men who choose certain facial hair styles.

Since you've read many of the topics on this board, then you undoubtedly noticed the numerous ones on this very subject too. Feel free to do a search on topics for this board, make sure you search in the yellow box near the top of the page, not the red one. Enjoy the board.

:)

One of the first things you need to learn about sex, and about people in general, is that men don't all think alike, anymore than women do. Humans have had pubic hair for millions of years...and shaving is a new "fad"...since bikinis became popular. No man has ever been "scared" by pubic hair. Some men like it completely shaved, some like it trimmed, and some men like it natural. Most men don't really care one way or the other. If YOU want to shave, do it. If you don't want to shave, then don't. If you meet a man, and he wants to have sex with you, he will take you any way you are.

It's your body, and you do what YOU want with it.

There is no norm to anything since everyone is an individual an has their own likes and dislikes.

The norm is that there is no norm. Particularly for such a private and personal grooming issue like this. Men and women range from full and natural to brazilian wax which leaves nothing but skin.

But this is your personal choice to make and you can't presume to guess what a potential partner will like, much less how he will REACT to your own choice. OR you to his.

Just do what works for you and I'm sure, any partner you have will just be grateful to be there and see it at all! LOL!

I brought back some old threads on the shaving topic for you, they will be listed as recently active at the top of the list of threads. They might help. I myself am a young guy who loves girls that have hair down there. Guys are different. Personally i would rather see a girl with a totally out of control pubic area than one that is fully shaven, but thats just me

men have different opinions a male friend of mine is well into hairy where as another loves the whole brazillian bald thing, but the issue is what do you feel confortable with, personally i like to be smooth try a few and decide what YOU like

Don't forget about your confidence. I always feel so much more sexy with a brazillian than I do otherwise. If hair is something you're self conscious about give it a try, the worst that can happen is that it'll grow back. And please, if I could just put a plea in- waxing is so much less cruel than shaving when it comes to grow back issues. As a proud brunette, trust me on this one...

re: "proud brunette": oh c'mon now. theres nothing wrong with dark pubic hair related to "grow back issues". Nothing wrong with thick hair down there at all, its all a choice.

Haha...flyguy, I totally have grow back issues! Really, I didn't want to break it down and go into detail but you leave me no choice! Let's talk about itchiness, let's mention ingrowing hair, it's terrible coarse when shaven. I was just offering advice on methods for getting rid of the hair which might come in handy and since brown hair grows back strong and fast I'm pretty expirienced in this department! WAXING ROCKS COMPARED TO SHAVING!!! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with pubic hair, it's hot. But if it's coming off, choose the best option. Not that you'd know first hand ;)
