I was getting my eye brow waxed yesterday and got chatting to the young beautician about Brazlian waxing... I understand pubic hair au naturale is well out of vogue even seen by some as a big turn off. Many men are also 'manscaping ' Some trim to specific styles... Lazer treatments to ensure a no pubic hair zone is very popular... does styles and what you find a turn on depend on age, ethnicity... sexual orientation? Your thoughts and preferences ??
I can see why people (particularly women) can't afford to save money for a house when they're pressured to conform to such frivolities.
i prefer shaved clean, possibly a landing strip
I prefer smooth. Yeah, but at my age I would just like to get some D right now, I'm not going to be picky about the hair style.
I remember when I had my children, back in the 60's. The nurses shaved every single hair on my pussy. It felt very weird and itched when it grew out. It never entered my head to keep it shaved. When I became a nurse in labor and delivery, all I ever saw was hairy pussies. In the 80's I saw my first preshaved pussy, when she came in to have her baby. At first, I wondered if she had some condition that made her loose all her hair, but she had hair everywhere else. Time went on and I was seeing shaved pussies more and more. I became a midwife and all I ever saw was shaved pussies. One day a woman came for a pap smear and apologized because she had not had time to shave, as if it is an expectation. I don't know what men like better, but, as for me, I like to see pubic hair on a man. I like some hair on their chest and belly too. A man who looks like a gorilla would not turn me on, but I do like some hair. It looks grown up, instead of like a prepubescent little boy.
I cannot imagine being 40 weeks along and getting a wax to look good for the medical team.
As a man with body hair, thank you. It seems like every guy you see on TV or anywhere else is waxed from the neck down, and at the same time has a week's worth of stubble on his face. I grew up thinking it was supposed to be the other way around- shave the face, not the rest.
(That said, I have been known to shave the nethers, but it takes more time and effort than it's worth when I'm the only one looking at them, so mostly I just settle for a neat trim, just in case.)
I suppose there are worse things than going to work and looking at vulvas all day......not many but some.
@MsDemeanour I was fine with it. I loved being a labor nurse and a midwife. I was a nurse for 15 years and a midwife for 20 years, so it is a good thing I loved it. I can't imagine being a dentist and looking at yucky teeth all day. To each her own.
@Wisewoman3 I think it must be amazing to catch a baby being born. And then seeing the joy on parents faces.
@MsDemeanour It is truely magical. I caught around 1100 babies during my career and every one was as special as the first. There were times that were very happy, times that were incredibly sad, and some that were very high risk, but I would not trade that job for anything else. I loved it. Birth is a very primal experience, no matter how much money you have, how poor you are, how healthy you are, how unhealthy you are. It is a job that is not for everyone, but midwives are very dedicated.
I would be ecstatic just to see one in real life at this point! Hair or no hair, doesn’t matter to me!
@MsHoliday but true!
I like hairy men. The hairier the better.....everywhere, anywhere.
Men's beards are also pubic hair. Many women prefer a clean-shaven man. Once that reality hit home with me, and I made my peace with it, I shaved mine off. I personally strongly prefer a shaved pussy. My best friend (intercourse-platonic) is bald as a baby's butt. Says oral is much better, and like many women that's her easiest, most favorite way to the big O, reciprocates with enthusiasm, and her lovers have no argument with that! Ergo, no hair for her, no hair for me, everybody's happy.
Ultimately, it's her decision and I don't have much preference. If she asks my opinion, though, a trimmed bush is aesthetically pleasing but the exact shape doesn't matter to me. As for the labia, I like to be able to lick skin-on-skin and think oral is a little easier without hair. But, seriously, it's up to her, and I'll work with whatever she's got going on down there. ?
I had no idea this was even a thing, at least not for men!
Most of the time I can't be bothered to style the hair on my head
yeah I agree. I'm flat out shaving my legs or arm pits. Thank god for winter eh.
You have hair in all areas for a reason. I tend to like neatly trimmed. A work friend was once arguing with me that women who shaved their pubic hair looked so much younger. Really. How old do you want them - 10?
Tell him that a woman’s body looks different from a child’s, hair or no hair.
Trimmed means it's much more sensitive to touch...and I like that!
I think that this question is splitting hairs ?
