Is it weird not to shave your pubic area nowadays?

[AuNatrel]

I don't shave mine at all and I am very happy with how it looks. I also have a DP who doesn't shave. I have to confess I like seeing him with his lovely, thick hairy bush. 😁Both have no problems giving or receiving oral either, despite our rampant hairiness. My hair doesn't put him off at all - if anything it makes him more turned on. How unusual is this?

I like hairs when I give oral. That is just my thought, My wife does not shave and I love giving her oral.

I don’t trim or shave mine at all, it makes me feel more womanly and natural as I try to become more open and confident

I’d say it’s not unusual. I prefer no hair, but others prefer hair. It’s up to you.

i think it depends a bit on age. Taking it off became more mainstream around mid/late 90’s so anyone who was a teen then or after is perhaps more likely to be hairless than say someone in their 30’s at the time

It depends on age the other way too. There's quite a movement amongst some younger people to embrace or accept natural hair.

Trim mine right down with a clippers, wife likes it like that. She also does the same. Neither of us are fussed on body hair!!! (I'm in my 50's she's a bit younger).

I like mine shaved but I like hair on my husband as long as it's not out of control.

This is very much the personal choice of the "owner". Although many women tend to go for a wax these days rather than shave.

Personally, looking at my naked self in the mirror, I can't recall what I looked like with pubic hair. I'm in my 40s now and have been "all off" since mid teens, partly due to inspiration of my elder sister. I've gone from shaving to Veet sensitive to regular waxes and round the block again a number of times. With waxing I get fed up with the regrowth period. If you shave, use hair conditioner rather than shaving cream and if you go for the Veet option, you really must do the spot test first. I'm fine with it but I had a friend who said she felt on fire for 2 days.

I've also been with people who are hairy, trimmed and "bald", it's a personal choice but it shouldn't be someone else's choice.

I never shaved but was single for years and decided to shave it right down before sex with new bf, then ended up shaving it off. Much preferred it off, felt sexier and I guess giving oral with no hair is going to feel better (he had shaved his too). But if you’re both happy with hair, no problem. I guess more people do shave it all now than don’t but each to their own

It isn’t weird to not shave but I think for ages up to 40 odd it is more unusual not to be (according to my beautician ). But why does it matter?

I'd hope folks didn't feel bullied. Comfortable people are more attractive, whatever the level of topiary.

I've always gotten rid of hair down there ever since I started growing it. I've never liked the feel of it. Even when I'm single I'll shave it twice a week.

We're both au naturel as well. We had a bit of fun in the early days when DW shaved her pubes off for a bit but these days both enjoy each other's moderately tended bushes! I love giving oral to her and the way her pubes hold her subtle intimate perfume. Definitely part of the turn on for me.

Each to their own!

I don't think it is weird and as @XVII has mentioned it can be age related. It also a mater of personal preference, whatever feels better for you and that you and your partner prefer. For us personally both me and my husband have done laser to remove our pubes as we both like it better without hair down there. He especially has said it is much more comfortable being completely smooth there now.

I think anything goes these days. A bit of hair does not make or break attractiveness. I've been bushy and bald and DH doesn't even mention it!
I prefer myself trimmed, but sometimes don't get round to it. I'm glad my relationship is based on rather more than that.

I have no idea how people shave. Maybe some people have thinner hairs? Mine become a raging skin exfoliating prickle fest within a day and I get a rash. I can't stand it. I got it lasered

Well of course a relationship needs to be based on more than that. But it's no different from leg hair, underarm hair or a big beard. People have preferences. No one is suggesting that means you'll be dumped if you don't comply

I'm in my mid-30s and don't shave. I used to, in my late teens/early 20s, but got fed up with having to shave every day to keep it smooth. I also cycle a lot and got lots of rashes. I'm sure that could have been resolved by waxing, but much easier (and cheaper) to just let it grow back.

Neither of us have ever done it - no complaints either way.

It's hard to be precise about the overall demographics of pubic hair dressing. Some researchers have tried - but it's mostly self report surveys rather than actual observations! Certainly just knocking around on the internet you can find all sorts of approaches from advocates of the natural look through to a whole smorgasbord of options for those of us who prefer to be hairless. I remember being quite proud of myself as a 12 year old when mine started to grow, and although I'd been curious about it, didn't start shaving until my first serious relationship at 18. I had a period of depression in my late 20s during which I let my body hair grow, as I was too miserable to do anything else. Getting better involved renewing my control over the way I looked and getting my body back to something I felt good about. It sounds trivial, but I still remember the sense of renewal and recovery I got from taking a long shower and shaving all over (from the neck down). I felt ready to face the world again and tackle the challenges of intimate life.

Hair removal has been around for a while for woman and men: Guardian Article. But , basically you do what ever you want

I've always shaven bald because hair irritates me. My kids dad said he quite likes hairy private parts. But tough for him😂, as I said it just irritates me when it gets hairy. You do you though.

I was a teen in the late 90s, so shaving was definitely the thing to do for many years. Now, having completely bald bits gives me the ick - I'm not a prepubescent child, why would I try to look like one? And why is that such a turn on? It just seems a bit f**ked up to me.

Yeah I agree with this. Also the double standard where too many men expect women to go through the inconvenience and then don't bother to do their own.

I don't remove mine; neither does DH. Sometimes we do the odd bit of trimming just to make things a bit easier with oral.
