Do you prefer for your mate to be shaved or at least trimmed downstairs if you guys are sexually active?

I’ve always heard that guys would prefer some amount of control down there… I don’t mind because that’s my personal preference, and I can imagine why it’d be a little strange to go down on someone who wasn’t shaved or trimmed. Could get bad if teeth got too close… I’m a landing strip kinda gal :)

@TitsMcGhee What do you prefer in a man? Do you think its gross when a guy is a freakin hair ball down there? A couple years ago a girl commented that I had a lot of hair in the junk region and I got embarrassed and started shaving

I’ve never been intimate with a woman who was completely shaved in the southern hemisphere (although I have been curious about what that would be like) and I prefer it when there is a nicely trimmed and shaped pubic area to enjoy. It’s more attractive that way too (with hair), in my opinion.

Trimmed is nice but it’s not a requirement or anything. I’m okay with however people wanna do their own landscaping.

@Bluefreedom I don’t know where you are, but it’s kind of the “in thing” for young women around here to be completely bald.

@tennesseejac. I’m in the southwest, specifically Arizona. Maybe it’s regional when it comes to the style of how people groom themselves?

@tennesseejac : I’ve seen guys who trim (I’m down with it, but it’s not necessary of course), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy fully shaved…. so I guess I’d be surprised! I really don’t have a preference, but guys au natural don’t phase me at all.

completely shaved is weird, though I’ve had a couple of girlfriends who were. Armpits are a must, legs not so important if it’s only a little and doesn’t show (my current gf is blonde and has very little hair anyway).

I have only been completely turned off once by this girl who was amazing in every respect (and especially as a person) but had such a forest growing in that area that I simply couldn’t get turned on. We’d kiss and it would be great, and go through all the foreplay and get her undressed, and then I’d just see that and get completely turned off. We broke up after a couple of unsuccessful attempts as I never found the courage to tell her to trim.

I think it’s an age thing. A lot of younger people have grown up with pornography informing their view of what a woman should look like, and expect some severe ‘landscaping.’ I am guessing that over about 40, they didn’t grow up that way and natural is more accepted, and for me, ‘baldness’ seems, um, pre-pubescent.

I will say that a guy who landscapes is more pleasant for, um, some kinds of attention that one might bless him with. Mouthfuls of hair are icky on any gender.

Trimming is pretty much a necessity in my mind. Shaving is not though. A full bush is simply not appealing to me, I much prefer to enjoy the things that are not pubic hair. That, and I got one stuck in my throat once, and it was just like Larry David’s portrayal in his show Curb Your Enthusiasm – just awful, no amount of coughing would dislodge it. Super awful.

@dynamicduo – I know exactly what you mean. You ever see a cat about to barf? Even that hocking motion doesn’t work.

@laureth – I’ve had an ear drum burst, and I’d say the pube in the throat was worse. At least the eardrum pain was relieved when the drum burst. That pube stayed there for at least a day. Ugh.

I prefer some manscaping.

@laureth: I think you’re right about the age thing. The notion of such landscaping just seems so unnatural for me. I’ve never seen it outside of porn. In fact, the whole idea makes me feel like kids these days don’t want to grow up. So shaving makes them, subconsciously, feel like time is not passing, and they can play forever.

As for my preference on men…. trimmed is nice, but if not, i don’t really care. I’d rather hair there than nothing.
as for me, i was a landing strip kinda girl for a long time. then a got into a relationship and he preferred it bald, so then after that, i just stuck with that habit.
now my new partner prefers a little bit of trimmed and sculpted hair, which is fine with me.

On a man, I like it at least trimmed, but I don’t like it to look exactly the same every time. Little or no hair every now and then is something fun and different.

Well, I’m a straight girl, so I would say it is better if the guy trims a little. Just a little. The hair-stuck-in-the-throat predicament happens to girls too, and I’ll tell you, it’s not fun in the least. :(

I can see why guys would like a girl trimmed, but shaved? shudder I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t go that far. I tried once and it made me feel like a prepubescent person. It’s just not natural.

It depends. Some girls don’t need to trim, and some do (in my opinion), but I DO NOT like bald. Really, it’s such a turn off. Even the landing strip is a little too little for me—a nice, little-yo-meduim “V” on the mons and everything basically clean below that—that’s what I like. I don’t know why, but that’s how it is for me. I guess I like to be sure it’s a sexually mature female I’m with. But I’m not an extremely hairy guy myself, and I also do a little manscaping, so I also prefer if the girl is not hairier than me. And in actuality, I don’t even mind if she doesn’t shave under her arms—in fact, on the right woman it can be quite a turn on—BUT, and this is a big but, I’m only down w/ the unshaven underarms in she has very little hair there naturally; like, less than me!

Shave, shave, shave. No if’s and’s or but’s about it. Also, I have the idea that if I’m willing to keep maintenance, he should too.

@onesecondregrets I totally agree with you on both accounts and Im a little shocked at the guys on here. I have always been completely smooth downstairs and all my boyfrieds have loved it and it makes me feel more comfortable.

I do not like shave, shave, shaved. It is such a turn off. In fact, if I was dating a girl and she refused to to have atleast some hair down there, it would probably be a deal beaker and we’d have to break up. I just can’t get turned on by a bald you-know-what. It just doesn’t look right (and in fact, many of them look downright ugly shaved). In fact, the last shaved woman I was with, I just couldn’t do it and ended up giving up. Such a turn-off.

@tennesseejac I had a woman suggest that to me too. She didnt get laid that night and I didnt see her again either. Pissed me off.

@tb1570 My sentiments EXACTLY. Most I’ve seen are just friggin ugly when bare. I am very fortunate in that my S/O, when she learned I loved hair, stopped shaving it at all…..and boy, does she have a bush. Looks fabulous on her.
