New man. Personal grooming question.

Namechanged for this one.

I'm in my late thirties, met a new bloke, haven't done the deed yet.

So, the question I need to ask is what do men like these days with regard to pubes. I was married for 14 years and basically just kept things trimmed down there.
Don't want to end up in bed with this guy and have him turned off by my possibly 'retro' style!

I'm happy to keep up with the times but don't want to go all out bald down there if it's not necessary.

Any tips? Smile

Anyfucker - tell me, does this place completely endorse gender discrimination, or is it just you?

Are comments only permitted by women?

Still, at least you haven't called me a wanker this time.

yeah, beginning to regret doing mine too! Will keep it like that until after my holiday then I'm going wild again Wink

Buy a retro swimming costume! Mines likes shorts at the bottom so I can grow them as long as I like, I might get them braided.

I raised this with my bloke and he observed that "without pubes, it doesn't look enough like a muff".

He's a poet and he didn't knoet.

Apart from pube removal I'm not convinced that very much grooming / beauty stuff is done for men's benefit at all. I say this because IME they simply don't notice the majority of it.

Eg my birthday present from the bloke was a spa day at which I had among other things my nails done, all 10. He knew I was doing a spa sesh, he knew when it was, he knew what I was planning to have done (because he paid) and did he notice / or comment on the result? He did not.

I said Do you like my nails and he looked hunted and said "What colour were they before?"

He'd notice if my pubes disappeared, but only because he likes them. I don't think he has a view on my nails, hair etc.

I have a feeling Cron that your problem is that you might not be anyones masturbatory simulus.

DonutForMyself · 05/07/2013 08:54

ElizabethX without pubes, it doesn't look enough like a muff - he's a genius, that's it exactly. Hairless bits remind me of Barbie and Action Man dolls who just have a mound there without any definition to show that its genitals! Right, I'm glad I have yet another reason to welcome back my bush.

cronullansw · 05/07/2013 22:42

Aww Booster, you've got me dead right.

You obviously know a pig when you come across one.

Namechanger012345 · 06/07/2013 04:01

Usually all off but depends what I feel like. This thread has just reminded me of an incident a few years ago that was definitely one of my all time sexual low points... Went to bed with a randomer on an impulse while the pube area was looking a bit more natural and he asked me if he could shave it! I was gobsmacked tbh, made me feel like he thought I was gross. I kicked him out for that, bit of a mood killer Angry

Boosterseat · 06/07/2013 16:21

Indeed I do Cron, takes one to know one and all that.

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/07/2013 17:34

I haven't managed to read ALL of this....

I'm 35 and have a battery operated trimmer (from boots) which i use 'all over' to keep things short and neat. I have a bit of a 'fro going in otherwise, which is noticeable through gym lycra!!!!

After that i shave the sides, sometimes the undercarriage and sometimes the lot. And yes i have a wonky inner labia - just the one mind - that likes to peek out.

I do this for me know(although DH likes it well trimmed too) as i find i am more likely (much more likely....) to get 'satisfaction' if doing the deed in the missionary position while trimmed/shaven.

Sorry TMI ....

Darkesteyes · 06/07/2013 17:44

That may be one of the reasons why your DH likes it Notta. He doesnt have to "work as hard" to give you an orgasm. Ive never been able to achieve that in the missionary position just through penetration and its got nothing to do with hair.
