i tried shaving smooth for a while and it caused more discomfort than it was worth. so now i use clippers to shave down to almost a stuble then let it go for a few weeks.
Small visible marks are ok. I've had my back clawed into hamburger before, and as long as I can cover them up when I want too, that's ok too.
The girlfriend doesn't really mind too much. She's got some claws of her own...
We were at a bar one night and this other woman started hitting on me. At first my girlfriend was kind of mad. Then just jokingly I told her she could watch.
Her response?? "Promise?"
This is a really good thread. My girlfriend and I are meeting a couple for the first time this weekend. She is nervous because she has a large birthmark on one side of her face. The other couple has already seen our pictures and they contacted us first. So I try to comfort her with that. but she has some bigger body scars that she is nervous about too. One from a c-section and one on each breast from reduction surgery. I'm gonna show her this thread later on.
good advice in here and I'll put it to good use....
