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’ve had all of my public hair removed for the past four decades. It’s personal choice.

I’ve lasered every bit of body hair off below my eyebrows, normal among my friends although few have gone to the same extremes as me

So you have no eyelashes? Weird.

And underarm and legs. ^

Porn innit? I think it’s grim, everyone wants to fuck women who resemble little girls. Bleuch!

That’s a tired creepy old trope. An adult woman in no way resembles a little girl
its obviously a personal preference but absence of a thicket hedge doesn’t mean a man fancies little girls or an adult woman wants to look like a little girl

Yes. It's very important that women please men at all times. 🙄

I'm 53 and trim a bit, but my two adult daughters don't. They both have boyfriends/sex lives, too. One doesn't even do her armpits.

Why do we have to be hair free but they just trim?!

Nah I don't care how much hair someone has as long as it doesn't impact any activities!

Because in oral sex on a man you aren't generally licking the area that is most hairy so trimmed is fine. On a woman the partner is licking areas that usually grow hair therefore smooth is better than trimmed, if you like the sensation.
giving oral sex to a woman who has long or stubbly pubic hair is sore on the tongue and therefore can't be kept up for long. I prefer my partners to keep going 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wtf why they licking your hairy areas? There isn't hair on the important bits 😯

CaraVann · 10/12/2022 13:51

I try to keep a happy medium. I personally love the soft feeling of a full bush and am very lazy so that’s suits me but do try and keep a bit more trimmed for dh as. he would often refer to it as my 70’s ‘look’.. I did go through a stage of going completely hair free but found that, especially mid cycle, I would end up feeling quite chapped and a little sore down there. Not sure if that’s just me and my weird body though?

That's what I said. One of them did at least look like he gave that point some thought.

Our sociology teacher said this to us at 6th form in 1990 - which was startlingly inappropriate obviously 😱 but to give him credit he was one of the male teachers devoted to his same age wife, not one of the ones known to date his students or recent students!

I wonder if it's a fashion which people rebel against, creating a cycle, just like other fashion cycles...

I think they’re doing it wrong 🫣🤭

Definitely doing it wrong 😂

As you get older hair growth lessens.

So, cooee guys, if you can ignore the wrinkly bits, the saggy tits, the age spots, the varicose veins, the occasional stress incontinence and the tendency to forget what I was talking about a minute ago I am practically hairless and all yours!

How on earth would we resemble little girls being without body hair? That's so wrong

Exactly! If you need them to keep going that’s because they’re going at your hairy bits rather than the bits that matter 😂

ArcticSkewer · 10/12/2022 13:54

omg that's hilarious. Your clit is not hairy 😂God wouldn't be that cruel

Mylittlesandwich · 10/12/2022 13:56

I prefer to have less pubic hair, sometimes I'll just trim sometimes I'll get rid of the whole lot. DH has no preference at all, I just prefer how it feels. DH does also trim again for his preference not mine.

BadNomad · 10/12/2022 13:57

Oh god. The thought of having waxing the clit 😭

CarefreeMe · 10/12/2022 13:57

Most men do not like completely hair free pubic areas for obvious reasons.

I find too much hair uncomfortable and so I will go completely hair free on my pubic area if I am single but will always let it grow back slightly before having sex.

I always remove the hair on my underarms and calves and usually leave a strip or triangle of pubic hair to feel comfortable.

blossomsinwinter · 10/12/2022 13:57

I remove all body hair now. I used to just do it in summer because it was cooler but now all the time. Though I'm almost post divorce, happily single and not looking for a new relationship. It is just a personal preference.

Mine grows into a wee mohican and then I trim it when I can be bothered. I've never shaved it all off - too much like hard work

ArcticSkewer · 10/12/2022 13:58

Tbh, now I remember.... I stopped waxing as I kept getting infected follicles. The plucked chicken look wasn't all that attractive either!

Most women have hair growing on their labia. If your partner doesn't lick your labia while giving oral then they are doing it wrong 😆

someone who can't find a clit without a big neon flashing sign.
Perhaps the poster should grow hair into the shape of an arrow?
