Alright, now that it’s been brought up, can I just ask whether anyone else is tired of this obsession with shaving? I’m on the other side of the aisle and I can’t understand how hairlessness is meant to be attractive, pleasant to maintain, or (and this is the weirdest one) tactful. Women have body hair. Why it in vogue to pretend they don’t?
I shave my foot hair, but only because it catches on my socks. I’ve heard exactly one woman complaining about groin hair catching on fabric and that was because it had been shaved recently.
Women deserve body hair and large pants pockets, but that’s just my political opinion.
I'd like to add that pubic hair can make a big difference for sex as far as chaffing goes. Having sex with everything shaved leaves my skin irritated. Even just a tuft of hair helps prevent that from happening.
Point is, pubic hair serves a purpose. Besides, the challenge of shaving pubic hair in its entirety isn't worth it to me. You get maybe a day where it's smooth, then itchy bumps that you can't scratch in public for a week afterwards. Not to mention the struggle of shaving an intimate area that you can't easily see or reach, putting a razor super close to extremely sensitive body parts and hoping your hand doesn't slip... no, thank you! Just accept that I'm a grown woman and grown women have hair. If that's a hard line for you, then I guess you're not getting laid. ¯\(ツ)/¯
does the skin irritation still happen if you shave but don't have sex?
i don't care either way, but shaving all your pubic hair is unattractive imo.
Idgaf about bush hair tbh, I actually prefer it! It has a very nice hand feel. I do prefer shaved legs tho.
I don't shave for aesthetics, personally, I shave because I hate having body hair, it bothers me.
This. Body hair grosses me out.
I sorta get it, but it’s really not for me to understand. I just don’t care for the ambient social pressure in the US.
Lots of men shave/wax, too. Most "hot" male hollywood stars are showing up with a completely hairless upper body to their shirtless scenes. There's definitely more pressure on women IRL, though.
That's sad. Chest hair is hot.
I didn't think so back when I was a teen (a time when most boys my age didn't have chest hair yet, so it made sense.) But as I got older and it became age-appropriate, I started to really, really like it. There's nothing like grabbing a handful of chest hair in the midst of passion (provided that he's into that.)
I grew so tired of the obsession, I stopped shaving completely. I’m a woman for the record.
It hasn’t affected my ability to get laid at all. No one noticed while I was on a beach vacation. It’s generally way over hyped.
Don't shave, trim
Feels better, both to have smooth skin and to feel smooth skin. Just looks better too ¯_(ツ)_/¯
same goes for men, too, society just doesn't pressure men the way it does women
It's very subjective. There's plenty of people who enjoy the look of natural hair on bodies.
*ding* Someone confident enough in their body to allow themselves to grow out their hair and age naturally? Oooh baby!
Thank you! It really irks me to see the sentiment that shaved is better. Women don't need more messaging about how we're supposed to be hairless or that it's better to be shaved. Everyone can choose how to keep their bodies and we should all respect that.

Honestly starting to shave more and more areas has made me hate body hair more and more. Idk why, but any hair that isnt my eyebrows or on top of head drives me absolutely insane now. It gets to be much to shave everything all the time, i do it in cycles. If i never grew it again, id be a happy girl
So, I am a dude, thus take this with a grain of salt perhaps, but:
Find you a person who will be excited to, and capable of safely shaving/trimming you.
There are people who do that?
I mean, I've groomed some of my partners, some of them have groomed me.
So... yes?
There is at least one person?
Maybe I am very strange, I am autistic, so social norms are basically all arbitrary performances to me, but it seems to just make sense?
I'm fairly sure this is also a behavior that is done by a good deal of our ape ancenstors, mammals more broadly: Grooming and cleaning another is itself a kind of social bond, a way to establish and demonstrate trust and care.
It also just saves money; if you have or can teach a partner how to do things like... haircut touchups, eyebrow shaping, basic mani/pedicure type stuff, whatever, now you don't need to spend money on something you'd normally have to pay someone else to do.
And you can just like, have a conversation while doing this. Quality time, lol!
Works super duper well if one of your 'love languages' is just any kind of caring/affirmatory physical touch.
Protip from a formerly hairy woman - get waxed every month for at least a year (I did it for 2 years), and the hair grows back much softer ... now I shave my legs once a week, and it's quick and easy :-)
Edit: get it waxed by a pro, don't try and do it at home
I have waxed at home, but I can concur with this. Shaving leaves the tips of hair sharp, but when it grows in from the root it gets a fine, naturally-tapered tip that makes it feel softer.
Which is part of why the myth of "if you shave your hair, it will come back thicker" is so prevalent. The hair doesn't permanently change texture from shaving, it's just that once you get into a habit of doing it regularly, it will feel rough all the time because of it.
Not just that, waxing damages the roots and weakens them, making the hair grow back finer
The same thing can bite you in the ass if you over-pluck your eyebrows

Honestly that's me as well anymore. I used to be more ambivalent about it.

There goes my hero
Watch her as she goes
(Its hard out here for hairy mfuckers)
Very interesting...can they reach down that far??? I mean that distance looks almost a full body length from this perspective.
Bugs, in general, can they bite you anywhere?
Basically yes, depending on the clothes you're wearing, the position you're in, the climate/biome you live in.
Sand fleas, at a nudist beach.
A person sleeping nude in an area that's got lots of bugs, etc.
You've decided to go camping, where bugs exist.
...etc.
Let me just tell you that bed bugs fucking suck.
Like, figuratively and literally.
Ain't everybody got enough money to live in a decently maintained residence or building or... county or city.
Well... I've never had a bite on my scalp or my crotch, so I'm guessing they can't.

Same. (Well... mosquito bites, at least.)
