To be shaven, or not to be shaven???

First off, I'm a chef so as you can imagine we are all...
A)furloughed
B)bored rigid
C)extremely crude. (Seriously. It seems to be a kitchen thing, you start off as innocent as Mary, and within a month your telling the assistant manager that a colleague is helping your very camp manager to cut his lacy thong off when she inquires why they have the door shut in the office!!)
So we were having a as usual, rather smutty conversation on messenger when it turned to shaving every hair off down below. Not a Brazilian, or a landing strip; naked as the day you were born.
Turns out, from a group of 6 women, varying ages, (I'm in the middlish) I am the only person who doesn't shave it all off. Dont get me wrong, it's not like I let it grow so long i can plait it, tie it in a bow and tuck in my socks, but I was quite surprised. More over, 3 of them do this because their partner prefers it that way!
So, in the spirit of coping with lockdown, help a chef out here ladies
YANBU - I really can't be bothered with the hassle
YABU - I'm a smooth fan

Yes ladies, let's all share stories about our pubic hair.

RolandSchitt · 04/01/2021 00:00
Hmm
BubblyBarbara · 04/01/2021 00:01

I adopt a clean below, fuzzy up top approach simply because otherwise when you wee it can just get in the way and end up smelling over time. Better to be clean. It's not for a man though as my husband died

DramaAlpaca · 04/01/2021 00:02

Sorry, that's something I don't want to share, not even anonymously.

Furrybootsyecomfy · 04/01/2021 00:04

Gads. (Also @RolandSchitt, I can’t stand Roland but I love your user name. I’m much more of a Ronnie person)

Singlenotsingle · 04/01/2021 00:04

It seems to be a young people thing. When you get old though, it goes bald naturally!

'Ladies' Hmm

YoniAndGuy · 04/01/2021 00:23

Why is every wannabe comedian convinced that their particular, usually quite boring industry is THE secret hotbed of screamingly funny, utterly ‘I’m Crazy, Me!’ foul-mouths... and then immediately proves the complete opposite by giving the lamest un-funniest example of ‘banter’ ever?

Lacy thong? Jesus you kids are W.I.L.D.

FrankButchersDickieBow · 04/01/2021 00:24

'Smutty' Hmm

bubblylocks · 04/01/2021 00:25

'Smutty'😂😂

NuniaBeeswax · 04/01/2021 00:26

yawn

GrandTheftWalrus · 04/01/2021 00:27

I work in security and that's not for the faint hearted but even I wouldn't be sharing that info on a public forum.

grassisjeweled · 04/01/2021 00:27

What kind of chef are you?

LoveMyKidsAndCats · 04/01/2021 00:28

I used to shave it all off, purely for my partner. I don't now as i simply don't care. He asks me all the time when I'm shaving it (I'm not)

Notimeforaname · 04/01/2021 00:28

First off, I'm a chef
help a chef out here ladies

🤣🤣

NiteWotcha · 04/01/2021 00:29
Hmm
Notimeforaname · 04/01/2021 00:29

What kind of chef are you?
Yes..this. we need to know more about it.

FestiveFruitloop · 04/01/2021 14:44

Crikey, why the nastiness from some posters?

OP your post made me laugh. Grin

I trim things neat but otherwise leave well alone. I'm in my early 50s - age is definitely significant with this kind of thing imho.

Northernsoullover · 04/01/2021 14:48

Confused no way!

RunningFromInsanity · 04/01/2021 14:49

I wax and leave a small trimmed triangle.
I do it because I think it looks neat, is more hygienic, and I swim a lot.

I have had a previous bf comment on it which made me think that men do prefer all off, but I don’t want to look like a child.

RunningFromInsanity · 04/01/2021 14:49

^ I’m 28 btw

Minnie6078 · 04/01/2021 14:51

All off for me! DH prefers it and I just feel more comfortable that way. Actually thinking of getting it lasered

SummerHouse · 04/01/2021 14:55

I don't do anything. Although to be fair I do condition it sometimes..
