For those who are shaved... if it wasn't "in", would you still?

I've looked, but never once have I seen a neeked person in the grocery store. I keep telling my neighbor I wanna see her naked but she hasn't got drunk enough yet lol. I don't think Playmate of the Month counts as "in general" either.

Mr. knb

This is a really good question. I guess for most of us we assume it is in vogue from things we hear and see.... watching Sex & The City, reading cosmo, and Playboy for that matter, I would say all of those are good indications of what is 'in vogue' and definately go beyond our lifestyle.

I was thinking "You can wear it to the witch-burning... then go straight to the beach! BURN THE WITCH!"

But I guess either/or, eh?

Wow...thanks for posting that link Thrax...I've been looking for some new swim wear...rotflmao

All silliness aside. Back in the day, like when I was 15 or 16 (around 13 years ago or so), I would watch some porn with my boyfriend. Most of the girls were at the very least closely trimmed...most had a 'landing strip', some were totally bare.

Around that time, I swiped his beard trimmer and used it on myself. I wasn't trying to be particuarly trendy...it was more of a hygiene issue...I just felt cleaner, etc. So my preference at the very least is to keep it trimmed super short, next is a landing strip, and then totally shaved.

Jeff's preference is for me to be totally shaved (he is trimmed down there). He does chalk it up to having come of age in the 70's...almost every female was 'natural'. He had one partner that was totally bare and of course, that really stood out and turned him on. Lucky for him it's the 'in' thing to do now.

If it were not the popular thing to do, I would still keep it trimmed up at the very least.

I never shave...I always wax. It hurts like hell, but it is definitely worth it. I would do it even if it wasn't in because it helps me prevent ingrown hairs.

[ohash01]

I've been shaved for as long as I can remember...not because it was in fashion...just because I didn't think the hair there looked "right" on me. I had a playmate recently who preferred no shaving...I tried it for a while, but finally had to break down and take it off again. It just bothers me. Whenever a stray hair gets caught in my panty elastic and rips out I want to cry. Plus, I prefer feeling myself smooth. I'm tempted to try waxing, but I'm a chicken.

[petercooper]

my wife and I are both shaved smooth, been that way for a long time, we like going to nudist venues and over the years it has become common place...first the ladies started and then the guys followed along...

of course it is much more fun to shave each other

Mrs. Ekies and I have shaved ourselves to different degrees since the early
90's.

I much prefer the feeling of having myself shaved and like the tendency of "swinger" women to shave from the top of their ass-crack to the top of their "cootchie" crack.

I do prefer, however, a patch of short hair above the "cootchie" crack.

Mrs. Ekies prefers men shave from 1" above their penis to 1" below their testacles and at least 1" to each side. She loves going down and wants a bare play area.

If the tendency swings back to not shaving, we'll have to be in the minority.

I have a preference for me personally and that is I am completely shaved. I am considered a BBW and for me it just makes me feel cleaner. Mike shaves his balls and keeps the rest trimmed neatly, which I really like. Hate having to spit out the hairs when I am giving a bj!!

[vewybadcpl]

I'd definately continue to maintain the landscaping. Not sure exactly why I started, but have been doing it since I had something to shave! LOL

I would as I would hate for some one to choke on a stray hair :P

[aklovers]

Well, I'll put it this way, I don't pay some woman $70 to rip the hair out b/c of a fashion statement. It is a personal preference.

[imsherona2]

Absolutely a personal preference, as most things are. I don't pay anyone to rip my hair either, I shave myself with a personal shaver made just for that sensitive area...!!

I definately do routine "manscaping" but have never paid for it. Ripping it out YIKES!!! Yet at the same time intersting. How long in between "sesions" does something like that last?

I usually have it done every 4-5 weeks, sooner if I have a playdate scheduled. But there is hardly any hair down there anymore !!!

[havefuninsun]

I started shaving a LONG time ago -- 10 years or so? I probably did it because my ex wanted to see what it was like and frankly, I liked it a lot. After meeting Mr. Fun, he coaxed me into giving waxing a try, and now I'm hooked (they say tattoo's are addictive; I think waxing can be, too). We've met some folks who have done the laser, and I'm pretty intrigued with that. I'd love not having to worry about it anymore.

Mr. Fun stays neatly trimmed, although he's done waxing before, too. He's really wanting to be waxed again. God love 'em.
