Is it really the norm to be completely hair free for sex now?

I was married for 30 years, I kept myself tidy if I was likely to be going swimming but that's about it. DH never seemed to mind or express a preference for anything else.

I was part of a conversation with a bunch of middle aged, mostly single, admittedly quite drunk, men and women (don't ask me how the conversation came up!) and the consensus seemed to be that anything other than a completely hair free woman and a well trimmed man was "disgusting".

I've told them all Blush that if the ever get the opportunity (they won't!) they'll have to take it as it comes 😆

I really can't imagine setting myself up for that sort of maintenence, even if I wanted to, but is it really the norm?

I love body hair on a man, it’s so masculine! DP is very disappointing in that regard…just a few stray wisps.

I would get the serious ick if contributed by some hairless giblets and smoorh chest plus chest/back stubble on a man is also gross.

Jesus yeah, those blokes where you know there is not a single hair on them from the eyes down, proper ICK!!!

The study referenced earlier shows over 25% of people talk openly about sex even with co-workers

You know it's out of 100 right...so the majority do not...

I regularly talk to my coworkers about sex. I even tell my boss all my favourite sex positions. He’s a very understanding man. 😃

Myself and my DP are in our later 40's and early 50's and both very much of the hair free zone.

I like male bodies, I do love body hair including back hair, but don't mind if a man removes his if he wants to, what's wrong with that? I find the short regrowth ok even, a bit like a piece of fabric, quite nice. It's true I'd rather not have too huge a bush to deal with. I remember seeing some pics of a naked male celebrity some years ago and there was so much public hair, that wasn't the most attractive tbh.

Yeah I like to be shaved, I don’t shave all the time though but never have a full bush either. I’m quite hairy naturally so like to keep on top of it. I even have a hairy ass crack and I’m not sure that’s normal for a woman (DH has shamed me for the hairy ass crack😳) …

Men do expect women not to have hair in my experience, probably because of porn.

I think my husband must have missed the need to be hairless on women memo

Never bern hairless. Both partners liked hair on me. I dud mention it because I would have kept it incredibly short but they were vehement they liked au naturel- less grooming for me🤣. Neither of them had hairy chests but there was some round their bits. Have a look at Mickey Flanagan on YouTube oral sex clip and the errant hair🤣

Not in mine. Men are simple creatures who are
usually just glad to be having sex!
If they expect hairlessness it's only because it's the trend. When I was young, many decades ago, it was normal to have some pubic hair. Men were still more than happy to shag us!

That doesn’t mean we have to accept ut though.

They might expect it but we don’t have to jump just because they say so. It’s also ok for men to have to accept that you will have pubic hair (or underarm, legs etc….).
it’s because men want something that we have to give it to them with no question.

If a man expected me to be bald it would tell me all I need to know about him and would be a massive turn off.

@PortiasBiscuit how is it resembling little girls? Last I knew little girls don't have full grown boobs 🙄
I think it's disgusting for both men and woman to have pubic hair, including underarm hair. Revolting that most men don't remove it. In certain cultures men must remove it

How can you complain about people saying bla ness looks weird and then say public hair is disgusting. Disgusting? Bizarre. You need to explore why you have such a strong aversion to a bit of hair.

LlynTegid · 11/12/2022 09:17

If a man or woman insisted on hair free, or even objected to not being, they don't deserve sex.

StarlightLady · 11/12/2022 10:07

It’s not all about men or for men either. I know women who remove their hair who are lesbian. Likewise l know some lesbians who don’t.

I fail to see why anyone feels the need to criticise anyone who chooses to do anything different.

For the record, l’ve had make sexual partners who have asked me to grow a bush! I refused though.

VahineNuiWentHome · 11/12/2022 10:40

@StarlightLady no one is criticising people who chose to remove hair FOR THEMSELVES (plenty of reasons for that but tbh I don’t think anyone should ever need a reason).

The issue about EXPECTATIONS.
Men expecting women with no hair.
Actually women expecting other women to have no hair (ses the changing rooms comments).
And the automatic follow on from that which is that if a woman does NOT remove her hair, then she is <insert choice of judgement- disgusting, unclear, unfuckable, lazy etc…>
