Why can’t it be fashionable for women’s crotches to be furry and male musician’s faces to be clean-shaven? Modern culture has it all backwards at the moment.

I’m also in that minority. The husband doesn’t care either way, and neither do I. He doesn’t do much grooming down there, which is fine with me, as long as he keeps up with other grooming - hair sprouting from ears and nostrils is a giant nope for me. I prefer to keep my own nether regions neatly trimmed; have in the…

Add me to the tiny minority party. I only ever shaved when with my first boyfriend, because I was young and not nearly as set in my FUCK OFF THIS IS MY BODY feminist ways, but goddamn, did I hate the upkeep and irritation that came with that. I just trim once like every week or two now, because I prefer the look of it…

Same. Except for the crabs part.

I really wish the women up-thread would fess up to ALL of the reasons they have little or no pubic hair. I’m sure men might like the feel of smoothness and sensitivity along with the less sweat they are all talking about, yet most of them don’t do any of that. Why don’t they? Why don’t they shave their legs and pits…

I do NOT get guys who think they get a say in this??? I don’t tell my dude how I want his pubes done but guys seem to think we should all look like porn stars down there. Big fat NOPE!

I have actually had the opposite experience, when my doctor told me it seemed like shaving was giving me serious ingrown hair and chafing making my skin irritated and sex slightly painful, and that I might want to take a break.

Oh, more are coming, I can feel them in my widdershins.

I’ll also join you.

They used to make you shave and get an enema before childbirth (like, it was pretty for my mom’s generation to have to do this) but not so much anymore.

If your personal aesthetic is completely bare on men and women or any combination thereof that’s fine but a lot of times there seems to be a great deal of shame attached to the reasons behind why women in the particular make the decision to go bare and that is what bothers me not the actual doing it. Our genitalia is…

... Yes, okay, so for surgery. Which generally doesn’t occur at gynecological check-ups, which were the subject of the comment thread.

Gynecologists don’t have razors so they can shave patients during routine check-ups. I’ve literally never heard of a gynecologist shaving a patient for a pap smear or whatever.

No, I get that some people equate any and all body hair except for eyebrows and the hair on their head as being completely gross but the reasons behind it don’t strike me as emotionally healthy given that body hair is an absolutely natural and human thing. Individuals are free to do with their body hair as they please…

Me too!! Full bush and happy with it :) I agree that everyone should do what they want but it bugs me that shavers or make up wearers refuse to acknowledge that they are contributing to an artificial norm that all women are held to. Men don’t feel the need to shave their legs because very few of them do. If most of…

I do zero hair removal below the eyebrows. I don't care what others do but I know I'm in a tiny, tiny minority with my practices.

THANK YOU.

I’m all for doing what you want with your body but I think the explanation given “for hygiene reasons” gives it all away right there, especially when I hear the same from super young girls. Why completely bare equals automatically hygienic is beyond me and I find it deeply troubling. For me it’s in the same category…

Hi! I'm in the minority with you! :)

No. Miss Kitty is neatly trimmed at all times. I do not enjoy the hairless look for myself or for my partner (fortunately, she and I are in total agreement on this).
