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

I'm old; watching Gogglebox the other week, Naked Attraction was one of the snippets. I was amazed to see a row of naked pudenda, nobody had pubic hair. How very modern.

I think was unintentional but made me laugh grin

Utterly intentional!

I have mine in corn rows, with beads. They clack together when I walk.

Biffbaff · 04/01/2021 18:55

I trim mine with scissors

Oh, for the love of Pete Hmm

I personally prefer it all off, before I had my dc I'd veet it every week. These days I dont have the time but tend to do it once my period stops then it grows through the month. My dh says he prefers it bushy but I feel better with it all gone and I have noticed hes more likely to go down on me when it's gone

It's way too much work to maintain, how do people have time!? I barely get my legs done in a timely fashion

I've recently had a letter from the council telling me to trim my unruly bush.

I'll have you know that I get the hedge trimmer out at least twice a year to prevent passers by being poked in the eye by stray branch.

I like a corn plait in mine. Was booked in for a perm, but lock down and all that means it never happened

ValidUser · 04/01/2021 19:43

I let mine grow wild and free. Even if OP were a perv, I'm sure they'd easily find far more alluring stuff with a quick google. Grin

I had the absolute best surprise in 2017 when I discovered a corn circle in mine - so intricate. God knows how they got in there without me feeling it. Kept it for weeks and Nat Geographic ended up doing a photoshoot. I felt right posh!

I shave all mine off it takes about 4 minutes and doesnt itch at all!

I think it's the sort of thing where the first few times it might itch and then your skin gets used to it. I use a mens razor

I really don’t like the prepubertal look.

It's not really a 'new habit', I remember it being seen as weird not to shave a couple decades back in some circles.

I experimented with shaving various parts a bit as a teenager, but I haven't shaved since. Very rarely, I'll get a patch where the ends go weird and I'll snip a bit off (usually if I've had unusually heavy cervical fluid for a few days). Like all hair, it has a terminal length and mine isn't long enough to be a bother and unless it's a bother, I leave it.

This is also part of why I have waist length hair (my 'crazy lockdown haircut' involved taking off about six inches that went weird).
