ive noticed not in just my life but in my female firends lives, when we are single we tend to keep up on shaving our legs, arms and XXX parts regularly (meaning every shower, everyday). But when we become in a serious committed relationship we will some times “slack” on certain parts(when it comes to our everyday/every shower). Example… I always keep up on my arms and “XXX” parts but sometimes will skip a “shave time” or two with my legs for a shower or two. Do you, even in these relationships, still shave every part every shower day or do you sometimes only shave some parts every time, every shower shave?
MEN
When you are single Ive notice that you keep yourself clean shaved all the time, but when your in a committed relationship sometime you will let your facial hair and or “XXX” parts grow for a little while before you get back to it.
TO BOTH GENDERS
How do you feel about your S/O letting certain parts of their body that grows hair grow “longer” then when you first met them? And if you could choose one part of your S/O body to be consistently shaved what part would it be?

For me, when I was single I was the same as I am now that I’m married. I keep my underarms shaved, shave my legs about once a week when my husband is home and in the summer (that’s all I really need to do), and keep my pubic area trimmed (even when my husband isn’t home because I like it better that way).
My husband has to be clean shaved for work. When he has time off from work, he will take a break from shaving. I like him with and without facial hair, so I’m happy either way.
My level of shaving is exactly the same regardless of if I’m in a relationship or not. I’m not doing it for anyone but me.
I’m glad you asked this. I’ve got kids in the 20 something age group and noticed that all seem to have perfect teeth and no body hair. I mean what’s up with that? Quick evolution? Global warming? Maybe extra fluoride in the water makes body hair fall off? ~
My shaving habits have always been the same. I shave my face in the morning shower and, if there’s gong to be activity, during the evening shower.
I wouldn’t want anyone to get chaffed thighs.
@worriedguy No, we shave it off and bleach our teeth. But Photoshop has made it even easier for ads to show people as hairless, stainless, wrinkleless, and in many cases, armless. So we grew up in a world that told us that was normal, and thus feel a lot of pressure to look like these non-humans gracing the covers of magazines.
I almost always have a “designer stubble” look…..George Michael eat your heart out XD
As for the wife, we both like a nicely trimmed lady garden…...which is nice :¬)
Smooth skin feels nice. If my s/o wanted to shave her entire body I’d be ok with it. I’d probably prefer she keep her head hair and eyebrows though.
I’ve worn a goatee for 12 years now. I wouldn’t shave it off for anyone, under any circumstances. I’d shave my head before I shave face (and I’ve had long hair for 7 years).

I have been in a relationship for a few years now and I still keep myself fur free. Personally, I hate feeling stubbly, it itches and feels horrible to touch. My boyfriend has never pressured me to shave and I very much doubt he’d care if I went a few days without doing so. Rightly or wrongly though, I feel more attractiv when I am nice and smooth and so I try not to go more than a day without shaving.
As far as my boyfriend is concerned, he only shaves his face anyway. He has shaved everyday for as long as I have known him with the exception of a few days when he was in bed ill.
I shave M-F for work and go scruffy on the weekends. You can’t make me shave on my days off!! Girls have to keep those toes shaved…please!!
I am fine with my SO shaving or not shaving at his will.
I don’t care what he shaves as long as his face is shaved (his chin particularly) before we make love.
@Cruiser Seriously, toes? They have, like, 4 hairs. Of all the places to insist on being shaved, toes? Really?
Does @Cruiser have a teensy little foot fetish? Hmmmm?
Sigh. @Cruiser I get it.
I have a beard. I shave a little on my neck three times a week (whether I need it or not). I shave nothing else; never have and never will. The only time my balls were shaved was when I was undergoing the knife. The itchiness only lasted a couple of days when it grew back. I do not believe I have ever seen a woman who shaved her XXX parts (as you put it) in person.
@papayalily I am not looking for pity, sympathy, empathy or understanding, but this “issue” for me has everything to do with that time I had to put wool socks on my late 90 year old grandma’s feet so I could take her out for a ride in her wheelchair on a cool fall day. You may have 4 little hairs now, but just wait!! X0
@Cruiser But doesn’t that have to do with age and not the area of the body?
@papayalily No. It’s not about age. It’s about liver function. Have you ever heard of gout? Toe hair is a serious issue.
I used to keep my lady parts completely shaven, but not anymore. I just couldn’t be bothered to keep it up every day… and anyone who’s done it knows that it’s only comfortable for a couple of days before things get itchy. I used to do it because my partner liked it, and kept it up for a while after starting the relationship I’m in now. But then I found out that he doesn’t really like the shaven look! He prefers neatly trimmed, and I have to say that I do too.
I keep my underarms shaved (every day or every other day if I feel lazy), and my legs aren’t that hirsute to begin with, so I shave ‘em about once a week-ish.
My fiance had a full beard for the past year or so, then decided to shave it into a horrible mustache for Movember… which he then had to get rid of for a job interview. His facial hair doesn’t really bother me either way.
@papayalily Whether they are 20 year old toes or 90…hairy toes are hairy toes….hairy is scary to me!! XD
@Adirondackwannabe – no, he’s not, but if he had the skill he would be :) He’s a huge fan so that probably inspired him!
Whether I was in a relationship or not,I always try to be well groomed.
I prefer to be well groomed myself, but, being single for quite awhile now I don’t always shave my legs to perfection.
I do always shave my under arms and keep the girly parts nice and neat.
I do prefer my men to be nicely trimmed, and, ahem…I like smoothly shaved scrotums, to be blunt! lol
This is always an area of angst in relationship, when to ask a man if he does or WOULD shave his balls.
Dating…such a chore, probably why I don’t care all that much these days. hahaha
Whether I am in a relationship of not i always keep up on my shaving. maybe slack on it a little bit. If im not in a relationship then i will usually slack on my on my legs for a while.
but i always keep my lady parts and underarms smooth, i just dont enjoy the itchy feeling.
I also always prefer a nicely shaved man all over(:
@Coloma Here’s a great ice breaker for the first date. Whip out a straight razor and ask if you can give him a trim.
@Coloma As every male reading this presses their legs together. :)

I’ve created quite a ‘sharp’ reaction here I see. lol
im lazy all the time so i never ever ever shave anything every day. luckily no boyfriends have ever cared. right now i cant remember the last time i shaved my legs. in the summer i probably shave them every 3 days or so depending on what i’m up to. if i was single and dating a guy and new things would be getting frisky with him, i would shave my legs and everything else more regularly. but once i know that it doesn’t matter to him then i go back into my circle of laziness.
When I dated guys I shaved a bit more than I do now, but even then sometimes I would go for a long time without shaving. I would never bother with anyone who was so shallow that they would be turned off by a woman’s natural state.

thank you so much for making my morning.
@Coloma Now I have a curious thought in the back of my mind. If he agrees to shave how do you pay him back?
I like keeping my legs and underarms smooth, even though I’ve been married for 10 years, but occasionally I will skip a shave or two in the winter. As for the pubic area, I go back and forth between keeping it trimmed neatly, or having it all shaved except for the “landing strip”. I’m finding more and more that I just prefer keeping my curls trimmed, because shaving it off makes me itch and feel self conscious.
My husband has a mustache and goatee and I love it, and he rarely trims any other body hair simply because he doesn’t have all that much anyway. On rare occasion, he has seriously groomed his “down there”, just for a special weekend or something. Because of that, he understands about me not shaving all the time; he says it makes him incredibly itchy when he does it too.
@Cruiser I shave my toes, lol.
I’m not about to tell any partner of mine what they should do with their apperance for my sake and would never tolerate that kind of subtle policing in my direction. Sometimes I shave and most of the time I don’t, anywhere, and that is all independent of whether or not I’m trying to attract people. I have other qualities that will pull them in my direction and they will then fall in love with my body, all of it.
Single = everything (pits, legs, nether regions) goes
In a relationship = see above.
Like the papaya girl said, I do it for me. I like the way that it feels/looks.
My g/f shaves all places, as well. If she didn’t, I wouldn’t care. Even her pits!
I shave the same as before, I don’t like getting into bed and feeling my legs prickly on myself much less him. What gets neglected more is plucking my eyebrows because that’s something I don’t want to do in front of him.
I take my cats to the groomer too, sooo, I guess I could say that I shave my kitty. lol
I shave my toes too, but there isn’t much to shave there, one or two skimpy lil’ hairs.
