What is the big deal with shaving?

Oops, one other thing: I also just started using the Venus razors, and they are GREAT!

I resent the fact that people associate shaving with cleanliness. Hair is not dirty. A shaved person can be crusty. All of the reasonings and excuses behind prefer shaved women/men except for added labia major sensation/feeling and not getting hair in mouth during oral..........all others are due to conditioning. All of you with other excuses have excuses that lead back to cultural views and expectations of this modern western world. I admire foriegn women for their choice to stay natural. Natural is beautiful.

I can relate and agree with this. Now, I honestly think this is an American phenomenon......it would be interesting for the Canadians and Europeans to give their opinions on this. I know that when we lived in Germany they were just NOT obsessed with the no hair factor. The only ones that WERE were the german ladies that wanted to date the american men....they would ask us for hints, and we always told them that: if you are going to attract an american man you have GOT to shave your legs and under your arms. I dont know, but alot of people do see it as cleaner. Now, in true honesty, when Aunt Flo is visiting it does feel cleaner for me not to have hair in the area. But in reality no, having hair is fine so long as the woman is clean. I do have to tell you something. We went to a campout in Sep, and met a wonderful couple. They are au natural, which is cool. But the sight of hair on the inside of her legs and even up onto her groin was enough to gross me out. I think natural is great! But please trim back off of the legs and groin.

I guess I may be in the minority but I like pubic hair on women. When I started dating my wife (when she was 16) she had fine dark hair on her arms and a line of dark hair extending to her navel and she wore cutoffs that revealed pubic hair on her inner thighs. That was always a turn on for me. Maybe I'm weird. Her two friends like her pussy shaved so now she's devoid of pussy hair.

I wax and keep a landing strip. I've done this for years, even before we started swinging. I just started waxing last year but for years, shaved it with the strip. For me, I find that less hair means less odor. No matter how hard a person tries, hair traps odors.

Dino shaves his balls and keeps the rest trimmed. I floss in the morning. I don't need extra floss when I'm going down on someone.

I really almost don't want to admit this here for fear of detering potential partners here, but I'd really like to get to know a completely au natural woman as you've described. I didn't realize this till this year. It came about through eating a more natural diet and desiring a simpler lifestyle of freedom from societies expectations. I guess that I agree with some of the hippy and feminist arguments about hair, makeup, clothing, and bras.

i dont know what the big deal about women shaving is. ive been with women with hair and a full bush and have had no problems, the hair getting stuck in your teeth is very exaggerated. my gf is 26 and when we met she was shaved bald and now she just trims. pubic hair is sexy , shaved looks to bare.

The big deal for no hair for me is it just feels better. I have lots of dark hair everywhere and not shaving my pubs just feels gross. When you first start doing it, it is uncomfortable, and shaving too much causes terrible razor burn, but in general, I feel cleaner - and yes - less smelly. A guy with hair isn't so bad unless he has LOTS of it, but it's more comfortable for me. Plus, blue jeans rubbing in clean lips is really a turn on!

Ungroomed hair is fine with us - leg hair, arm pit hair and pussy hair are all soft hair and nice to touch.

I agree

I like that hair holds a woman's pussy scent. I like to smell what I'm eating just like when I sit down to a mouth watering meal of food. Smells imprint memmories and stir moods. Pheromones, which increase arousal, are in scents and odors.
