I posted all as there was no option for hair removal.

I went brazilian for some time but then got to know about permanent hair removal.

I voted "Bikini line" but only because it's pool and beach season. I usally don't shave anything unless someone's going to see it. So I shave before going to the pool or beach or if I expect to get intimate with a new boyfriend. I have shaved it all off before, but just a few times. I prefer to just let it grow natural.

Some of you have talked about trends in shaving down there.

I happen to collect vintage nudes from the 50s thru the 70s. In concert with this, one comes across amateur nudes from all eras. I think there has definitely been a turn away from full shaving and even having a landing strip. More amateurs are sending in pictures to web sites with nearly a full bush. Maybe the pendulum is swinging back to the way it was in the 60s. Of course, there will die hard shavers for a while since some age groups have done it all along.

Just my observation.

I agree. As I said, particularly when it comes to erotica and porn users, attention spans are VERY short, so what is old becomes new again. And then those trends can affect the public at large, to a lesser degree.

I'll agree too. Shaving is a fad thing probably helped along in recent years by the proliferation of skimpy bathing suits and better technological advances in hair removal and hair removal products. I've noticed that mainstream publications like Penthouse that led the charge with bald as a golfball models are showing more models with a good crop of pubic hair in the last year or so. That's a clear sign that pubic hair is coming back in. Who knows whether or not it'll swing right back to completely natural like it was in the 70's? Time will tell I guess.

Thats what ive been wondering too. I just do the bikini line so none sticks out of my lingerie but do some woman shave/wax and trim the whole area? Or just stick to the Pubic bone bit.

Some women shave or wax EVERYTHING, but there is a lot of variety and everything in between.

My partner does her bikini line, and uses a little battery trimmer to go over everything and keeps it about a 1/3rd - 1/2" long. She'll then take the guide off the trimmer so that she can trim along the edges of her labia and around her clitoris so no hairs are in the way. Then she'll use my razor and finish by shaving the edges that she just trimmed and getting any fine hairs along the "insides" of her labia. She'll do this maybe every fortnight or so but spends maybe thirty seconds touching up the inside edges maybe once or twice a week when she's in the shower.
