Alright, now that it’s been brought up, can I just ask whether anyone else is tired of this obsession with shaving? I’m on the other side of the aisle and I can’t understand how hairlessness is meant to be attractive, pleasant to maintain, or (and this is the weirdest one) tactful. Women have body hair. Why it in vogue to pretend they don’t?
I shave my foot hair, but only because it catches on my socks. I’ve heard exactly one woman complaining about groin hair catching on fabric and that was because it had been shaved recently.
Women deserve body hair and large pants pockets, but that’s just my political opinion.
Thank you! It really irks me to see the sentiment that shaved is better. Women don’t need more messaging about how we’re supposed to be hairless or that it’s better to be shaved. Everyone can choose how to keep their bodies and we should all respect that.
Lots of men shave/wax, too. Most “hot” male hollywood stars are showing up with a completely hairless upper body to their shirtless scenes. There’s definitely more pressure on women IRL, though.
I didn’t think so back when I was a teen (a time when most boys my age didn’t have chest hair yet, so it made sense.) But as I got older and it became age-appropriate, I started to really, really like it. There’s nothing like grabbing a handful of chest hair in the midst of passion (provided that he’s into that.)
I’d like to add that pubic hair can make a big difference for sex as far as chaffing goes. Having sex with everything shaved leaves my skin irritated. Even just a tuft of hair helps prevent that from happening.
Point is, pubic hair serves a purpose. Besides, the challenge of shaving pubic hair in its entirety isn’t worth it to me. You get maybe a day where it’s smooth, then itchy bumps that you can’t scratch in public for a week afterwards. Not to mention the struggle of shaving an intimate area that you can’t easily see or reach, putting a razor super close to extremely sensitive body parts and hoping your hand doesn’t slip… no, thank you! Just accept that I’m a grown woman and grown women have hair. If that’s a hard line for you, then I guess you’re not getting laid. ¯\(ツ)/¯
As a man, my experience with women’s hair down there is positive generally. When it comes to oral pleasure however, it gets challenging to me personally.
I’ve completely wiped out my moustache and beard for various people who enjoy kissing me, but not the facial hair.
Some people like the scratch, others don’t, others don’t really have a strong preference either way, so long as they don’t have to go through a mane and end up with a mouthful of hair.
Just… do that both ways, for ‘kissable’ body parts, per preference of the ‘kisser’, and its fine?
I usually shave my body hair in summer when i wear lighter clothes with more open skin. Its just easier to apply sun protecting cream to bare skin compared to hairy skin.

I don’t shave for aesthetics, personally, I shave because I hate having body hair, it bothers me.
This. Body hair grosses me out.
I sorta get it, but it’s really not for me to understand. I just don’t care for the ambient social pressure in the US.
I grew so tired of the obsession, I stopped shaving completely. I’m a woman for the record.
It hasn’t affected my ability to get laid at all. No one noticed while I was on a beach vacation. It’s generally way over hyped.
Feels better, both to have smooth skin and to feel smooth skin. Just looks better too ¯_(ツ)_/¯
same goes for men, too, society just doesn’t pressure men the way it does women
It’s very subjective. There’s plenty of people who enjoy the look of natural hair on bodies.
*ding* Someone confident enough in their body to allow themselves to grow out their hair and age naturally? Oooh baby!

i don’t care either way, but shaving all your pubic hair is unattractive imo.

That’s sad. Chest hair is hot.

does the skin irritation still happen if you shave but don’t have sex?
Don’t shave, trim
Idgaf about bush hair tbh, I actually prefer it! It has a very nice hand feel. I do prefer shaved legs tho.

Pppppp
?
When you get a pube in your mouth and you go ppppp to get it out
The only real issue with oral is that some hairs stay in your mouth.
The taste is my biggest challenge. Getting hair in my mouth in itself is a smaller problem for me.
Who are you going down on? I never found the taste to be an issue and it has ranged from quite strong to pretty much no taste at all.
I am a fan of hair in general, but I will say that inhaling a pube and having it cling to the back of your throat is a pretty big mood killer.
Getting one in your nose, on the other hand, is very funny
Goes both ways, too lol. Trimming down below can be helpful for either gender if oral is involved.
Sadly cannot confirm if it goes both ways
No worries, I can lol
I believe you, it makes total sense. Just a little self pitty here
Aw sorry, I wasn’t trying to rub it in either! Life is too short to not try to put someone’s genitals in your mouth haha
You never know what tomorrow will bring!
Oh it’s the other way around. I’ve had them in my mouth though not as ofren as I’d like. I have not had my genjtals in someone else’s mouth.
You’re supposed to put your mouth on the parts that don’t have hair.
Basically same.

This seems very not complicated to me.
Skill issue
Care to elaborate?
