To shave or not to shave....that is the question!

So i'm more than certain this has been overdone but advice and opinions wanted.

Should a woman be shaved completely down there? or half? or shaped? or trimmed? how do we think is best?? also...how do you make sure you dont cut it so it itches (we're not talking ingrown - just itches) ...i know men are expected now to keep well-groomed but back to us women!

Methods, approaches and opinions welcomed!

Bald is best.

Well, that's what I prefer. Feels better, looks better, easier access etc.

Yep, too.

All off is the probably the nicest to view.

Apparently it makes sex more pleasurable for the woman as well.

Do you have any idea how much of a nuisance it is to get ALL the hair off :p:

I've waxed my chest and down below loads of times before. It's not a big deal, and certainly nothing to complain about if it makes things more enjoyable for your partner.

I wouldn't like my guy waxed down there... And I don't think I'd look nice bald either.. I'd feel like an 11 year old.

I feel sorry for you if the only thing which prevents you from resembling an 11 year old is a bit of hair.

Do whatever you feel best doing, some women like being bald down there. I have on occasion done that, but find the upkeep quite annoying. If thats your thing then waxing is probably the easiet thing to do, but trimming enough is just fine, I recommend a damn good razor and plenty of time to do it in, nothing worse than a nasty cut- :argh:

Not very hard at all... :confused:

There is no sense for males to be completely waxed because normally (depending on your technique and fetish) you don't take everything in your mouth. Quite in contrary to the female sexual organs where it's handy to have everything off. It's more pleasureable for both.

I didn't say I'd look like an 11 year old, I said I'd feel like one.

as for stopping it itching, i always put moisturising cream or body butter on after ive shaved. it stops my skin itching, also prevents the skin reacting to the shave (stops it going all red and spotty) and at the same time makes it nice and soft!

but just remember to wash it off before a guy gives you oral or he'll be left with a rather weird taste in his mouth :p:

OK, I feel sorry for you if your confidence in the maturity and attractiveness of your body is so low that the only thing stopping you from feeling like an 11 year old is a bit of hair.

Is that better?

I've talked about this with him before, and my boyfriend is a fan of how I keep myself, thanks :smile:

Well, perhaps you have magical powers.

Anyway, I said nuisance, not hard - there's a difference.

You're not a girl, you don't understand: moving on.

I never said he wasn't, I was merely responding to your implication that it was a real nuisance to keep yourself free of all hair down there. It's not.
