Do men really prefer a fully shaved/ waxed woman?

[PhillipaLalla]

Hi all,

Slightly embarrassing topic. After a drunken chat with a group of friends (mix of men and women) I am starting to question what I have always thought was common or expected in terms of women's intimate grooming.

During the convo, all the male friends said they prefer it when women are fully shaved/ waxed down there. All of them! They said it is better for oral and a turn on in general. Also most of the female friends seemed to agree and implied that that was their preferred style.

I was a bit surprised, as I never realized that had become the expected norm and most popular style? I must have been living under a rock! Especially considering that I have been single for a couple of years

Of course I acknowledge people have different tastes and expectations and not everyone is the same.

Tell you what, let's start right now some kind of arbitrary requirement for male 'intimate grooming' that is either a time-consuming faff or involves paying someone in a salon to rip out your body hair with hot wax.

I don't like my posters with big hairy hands if that helps

But they could vajazzle them, Trixie. Or shave them into little hearts.

As a man I can tell you .. I dont care, it's more about how nice a woman tastes 😉

My dh doesn't care what my pubic hair is doing and tbh I don't care what he thinks about my pubic hair. I don't care what anybody else, male or female, thinks about my pubic hair. Live like me. Stop worrying about what other people think about yours and others' pubic hair.

Also, it's just a preference they gave. Everybody is entitled to a preference. It doesn't mean you have to start shaving and waxing it all off just because someone may have a preference that doesn't match what you do to your hair. I might have a preference for shaved heads, 6-packs or blue eyes. That doesn't mean I expect all men I get involved with to shave their heads, wear coloured contact lenses or spend all their time in the gym.

I think it’s unimportant. If you’re in a relationship you enjoy spending time with the person and who they are rather than concentrate on the hairyness of thier bodies.

Do women prefer men with beards?

I like my menz to have a single long stripe of hair right down the back, a bit like a Jerusalem donkey.

Towel - yes they do! It is 2019, and hipsterville demands this. The beards must be full, the beard oil must be artisan, and the hairdos must be quiffed. The laydeez must swoon, and scuff their trainers bashfully.

What is the official women position on men with hairy chests?

On the off chance that this is genuine, here's the thing OP. Use it as a "wanker filter." Regardless of the state of your pubic topiary, the only appropriate response on the part of a man to you offering them a place in your bed is stunned and amazed gratitude. Anything that falls short of this - bin them.

We're just going to move this thread over to the Sex topic

I don’t know about when men like but I find gsirjrsd men a bit gross. I know it’s unfair and none of my business etc but I just can’t. I don’t like the sensation.

But a real question. Are glitter vaginas a thing? I could definitely imagine a social media trend for glittering vulvas. If not there’s a great free business idea for festival season.

Smooth woman here snd not for the benefit of any man, I assure you.

Jeez...how to get people so hot under the collar. There have been several threads of a similar vein, whether about women being hairless below, or men with beards. It is personal choice, as with anything but for anyone in a relationship, compromise can be a useful attribute!

I know my husbands preference...and for a long time which is no hair. I tried it and have stayed like it since which he loves. Men are visual creatures, at least he is! However, when he succumbed to the awful beard fad, I told him I didn't like it and he kept for a while and realised our sex life had dived as I just hated it near me. Compromise , although I would also call it self interest on his part

As ever, it is personal choice but when I have been part of a straw poll on a boozy girlie night the overwhelming majority was their DP/DH preferred hairless or fairly near. We are all 30s. So whilst there are clearly plenty of liberated Mumsnetters I'm not sure it is reflected to the same % out in the real world lol

Expectation and preference are very different. I'd prefer to see a lot more Zeroes at the end of my bank statement, but I don't expect to.

Preferring smooth, trimmed or bald down below for giving oral does not pertain an expectation

All threads of this nature end up going the same way....

You do it becahse of porn blah, blah, blah.

Actually, they usually go “I do it because it’s dirty, smelly, unhygienic not to”
The porn and “feminine products” industry between them have really done a number on us in the past 25 years or so.

They do. It has the same depressing inevitability of the posters who talk on about how they always hated their own birthname, or it reminded them too much of their fathers whom they didn't like, and how their husband had an unusually lovely surname, and anyway, they wanted the whole family to have the same name and feel like a team.

MarieG10 It is interesting that you describe the MNers who say they don’t care what men think, or just don’t shave as “liberated”. Surely liberated is a good thing?
When I was a teenager/ younger woman a completely shaved or waxed pubic area was not the norm (only whatever was likely to escape out of a bikini!), now it is. So women have become less liberated.

Great. 😒

In the 1970s there was a successful campaign to stop the routine shaving of women on admission to the labour ward. Now we have women posting on here feeling embarrassed at the idea of a midwife seeing them with pubic hair.

Ex-bfs have asked me to wax but I have always said that if my vagina isn't to their liking then can simply acquaint themselves with their right hand. I am proud to look like a woman. Hair stays!

See, I find even asking extraordinary. I honestly cannot imagine at what stage in a relationship I would ask a boyfriend to start doing something time-consuming and uncomfortable with something that's a normal aspect of the adult body.
