Shave or Not Down there?
| Thu, 06-16-2005 - 10:48pm |
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
Thanks

i shave and i experience alot more pleasure and organsms ever since i started shaving so u should do it .
hello:
I have shaved down below for about five years now and wouldn't have it any other way. It really is a decision you make. But the way I see it is that if I am going down on a man I would like for him to be trimmed / shaved. I have only been with 6 men and all of them have expressed how they enjoy the fact that I shave. But I agree with the other posters do what makes you feel comfortable. Don't shave unless you want to.
"A"
There is nothing 'unhealthy' about having pubic hair for crying out loud. It's a natural, normal part of being an adult!!! There are millions of women that don't shave, and millions more that never shaved in past generations and never suffered any health issues. Most men don't shave pubic hair - I don't see any of them being treated for pubic hair illnesses.
And just because *you* feel it made sex better for you doesn't mean it will for everyone, nor is that a reason for anyone else to do it. As all parents have said "If everyone else jumped off a bridge..."
I've been shaved and I've been natural.
I don't shave and I haven't had a yeast infection in about twenty-five years. The only reason that I did get them to begin with because of the misconception that the vagina in it's natural state was "dirty" and needed to be cleansed daily....so I took the expert's advice at the time, and douched daily. What a crock! The vagina is it's own cleaning machine naturally.
I did shave to see exactly what the huff was all about, and I can't say that I got any more feeling sexually than in my natural state. I've been having sex for 30 years, so I think I would know if there was a difference...but that's just me...your experience is different.
As far as for sweating and odor, the hair doesn't prevent you from sweating or smelling anymore than shaving under your arms prevents you from sweating or smelling....it's going to happen regardless.
My own theory is that the hair actually acts as an "air" buffer between your clothing and your vagina which keeps things "fresher." And oddly enough the hair comes to a thicker swirl curl right above the clitoris where it's purpose seems to be to cushion the clitoris or to act as a protector against damage. Makes sense. ;-)

I never said it was dangerous, I said it's not necessary. Saying 'I feel better shaved' is an opinion, saying it's healthier isn't. When the doctor examines you, it's generally the inner labia, vulva and vagina they're examining. And the clitoris - the root of orgasm - isn't covered with hair. Neither are pores more open and even if they were, they're on the outer labia, not the clitoris or gspot.
And yeast isn't caused by pubic hair. It's an imbalance of good and bad natural bacteria in the *vagina*, not the outer labia.
