Take it all off?

Here's another quick question. I partially shave myself and have all the way before...but I've been wondering if it's best to just shave it all? I do MOST of it and theres barely anything there so would it be easier to just take it all off and also do men prefer partial over the complete shave with the stuble and all? or is this a personal prefrence?

I like taking it all off. I have for years and it would at this point be like a guy growing a beard. It looks so cool with no pubes when it's "in use" lol. Plus no risk of any hair being seen when wearing really low jeans. I just got a pair that has a tie front and unless you lace it carefully the skin behind them is sorta visible ... not obscene, but certainly low enough that you need to pay attention. All I know is, while I think showing undies that stick out above the waistband is really, really uncool, having visible pubic hair would be about the grossest thing -ever-.

I keep a small, trimmed landing strip. Totally bare to me looks like an underage girl, just too prepubescent for my taste. Luckily, DH feels the same way. Just do what you feel comfortable with.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if ALL men like the same things? Then there could be a list published somewhere. Unfortunately, every man likes something different. If you want to shave yourself, then do it. If you don't, then don't.

I shave everything off and Dh loves it that way, but I started doing it because I like it.

My DW shaves all but a tiny patch at the top of her ...um...you know. I like it totally smooth, but am very happy with her decision. She likes me totally shaved, I'm not a very hairy guy anyway. Lately, I've been using a cream hair removal product. It works really well on my 'stomach' parts. But don't get it on the genitals!!! I use a razor and lots of shaving cream for the 'General' and his 'Privates'.

The complete shave is very high maintenance - unless you are brave enough to go for a brazilian wax so that the hair that comes back is finer and softer than stubble. As for men's preferences? Each guy is different. I think that if they like the full shaven look then they aren't going to like stubble. I mean, who does like stubble? That's why it's high maintenance. You've got to regularly shave every day or two.

Personally, I like the shaven look but only if it is stubble-free. Since it's impractical in most women's lives to shave every day, I much prefer the bikini line waxed into shape, then trimmed short up top and shaved along the edges of the labia. You can go a couple of weeks if you want without much hassle.

At the end of the day it's up to you.

I have found its VERY low maintenance. A quick trip with the electric shaver every day or two and a very thoroough one once a week or so .. adn the occasional razor.


Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

I prefer it completely clean at least in the "operational area" (opening, lips, clit) a landing strip of tuft at the top is nice but clean is also fun sometimes.

One key advantage my SO gets a much much longer ...oral sessions when its clean and hair free!! no hairs or stubble to get in the mouth or throat, no pubic hair "crossover" to block the opening etc. And a clean one just looks absolutely delicious and gorgeous!!

just this mans 2cents.

Hi Kiwi,

I think it's really a personal preference. However, I like my wife to be completely shaved. She doesn't like the upkeep, so it's rare when she does completely shave. However, it I had my way.....

But it's definitely a personal thing, as well as cultural. There are some cultures that prefer very large amounts of pubic hair.

Peace.

Scott.
