Too much pubic hair

I never trim or shave my pubic hair and I was wondering is it possible to have too much pubic hair? My dh has never said anything about my pubic hair before but the other day after sex he said that I seemed to be getting hairier down there. Do you think I should trim a little bit?

I'm sure if you give her lots of compliments, she'll get less and less shy about it. Hopefully you'll find a break in your schedule soon.

Ic-2007,

I want to applaud you for the stand you take. As a 22 y-o woman you are doublely brave for going against the tide of shaving bald. It seems that most men your age insist on it. The comments like "it's not clean" or "I would never go down on a girl with hair" are totally bogus. I'm 55 and I've been going down on women since I was 19. All of them had hair, and I never once got hairs "caught in my throat" , or my teeth. Cleanliness wasn't a problem , either. A REAL man who knows how to give pleasure to a woman can deal with a little hair. After all, once you get inside the lips, there isn't any hair. These guys just don't like giving oral sex and they're looking for an excuse.

I'm a guy in my mid 20's and I absolutely prefer 100% alot of hair down there on a woman, I find it very sexy. I will work with it because I like the look and feel way more than heavily groomed or bald. I say leave as is but thats just me. I know the trends these days are working against me.

I see alot of indirect pushing for the heavily groomed to bald look on here. Its like "come join the dark side, its better here" stuff. I have historically tried to be the voice from the other side on this issue and believe in the "dry lubricant" effects of pubic hair in addition to my personal appreciation for the look and feel of the stuff.

I wish their were more guys like you out there. It seems from what I been hearing that most guys like a girl/woman to be shaved down there. I've noticed when I go to the gym locker room that most of the woman there are either shaved or trimmed up.

I trimmed around my opening and my dh likes it and tells me it easier for penetration. Sorry TMI. I have very thick pubic hair so I think it might of been causing some issues in the sex department.

From my perspective the thicker the better. I find it much more of a visual draw, much nicer than the plucked chicken look and often times the plucked chicken with red bumps look. It makes a focal point, breaks up the "monotony" of skin (not that skin is a bad thing by any means). Its sexually appealing because to me its a major secondary sex characteristic. Many times I hear people say pubic hair is left over from our ancestors, that its not necessary, a vestigial element left behind. If it were a vestigial element then why wouldnt we have it already at birth like we have an appendix? Why does it just develop when the rest of the body develops sexually. I'm sorry but I find it sexual, aesthetically pleasing, and useful as a "dry lubricant". You go!!!

I'm like flyguy in that I definitely prefer the fur down there and abhor the "skinned rabbit" look. I grew up in a time when women had pubic hair, and I really can't get used to the shaved look. When I see a picture of a nude woman who's hairless, it makes me think of "a head without a face".

As for performance issues, I think you and your DH have found a good solution in doing a little trimming right around the lips. If your hair is very thick I'm sure this helps. My wife has an abundance of pubic hair, but it's not extraordinarily thick. We used to trim , chiefly because my wife is very sensitive and occasionally the hairs would cause some irritation. We do A LOT of digital stimulation and use a lot of lube. I modified my technique about a year ago and we've found that the trimming is no longer necessary. As far as penetration goes, we've never found it to be an issue, and I love the feel of her furry cushion. I also love the feel of the hair under my hand during digital and on my face during oral.
