He prefers I keep my panties on during sex. Did I make a bad decision?

Wow. I feel bad for you! Here you did something with good intentions, and it ended up turning into a disaster for you. Well, there's really nothing you can do about it now, unfortunately. But, from what I understand, laser hair removal is more permanent than shaving (obviously) but is NOT actually PERMANENT--it just takes a LONG TIME to grow back. Is this true? I honestly don't know for sure, but that's what I heard.

Anyway, I am going to have to agree with the post below--he MAY, for some reason, now be "seeing you" as a CHILD or INFANT and feel incredibly guilty about having sex with you now. Was it a bad decision? Not necessarily. See, EVERY guy is different. What your boyfriend HATES, another guy will LOVE, and vice-versa.

What I would FIRST recommend is that you TALK to him about this--tell him how YOU feel, and ASK HIM how he feels. Ask him WHY he prefers you to have your panties on now, and try and find out EXACTLY what the problem is. Maybe after finding out what the problem is, there will be a way for you two to figure out a solution. Also, during that talk, point out the GOOD things about what you did--he doesn't have to worry about pubes in his mouth anymore, it smells better down there because there's less sweat, you feel cleaner, it looks more "feminine", etc. Maybe by pointing out some POSITIVE things about what you did, it would help him to see things a bit less negatively. And, for the record, I think it's HOT. But, I also think a bit o'hair is OK, too, as long as it doesn't look like a dead animal. Yech! LOL! Grooming is key! Anyway, I do hope you two can find a way to find this to be more positive than negative because no matter how you look at it, it's a decision that will be with you for a long time. Also, he may just need time to adjust to the "new you" and will actually come to appreciate it in the future. COMMUNICATION, my dear, that's the main thing. Talk to each other about it and try to turn it into a POSITIVE thing. Good luck to you, I hope everything works out well for you!

It doesn't matter much to me one way or the other. My girlfriend likes to be clean shaven, except for a landing strip. She hates shaving, it leaves razor burn and bumps, and if we could afford to have laser removal done, I'd gladly afford her that luxury.

See, I can have my preferences... but It's her vagina, not mine, and however she's happiest keeping it is how I want it to be. Your boyfriend sounds like a selfish little prick. It's just hair, it's not the end of the goddamn world. He should be happy that you're comfortable and happy with the way it is.

If I were you, I'd tell him that sex is out of the question until he grows the f*ck up about it. Your role in the relationship isn't to go out of your way to f*cking please him, and he needs to learn to have some goddamn respect and consideration for your feelings.

I didn't know until I came to GAG that most guys like hair down there and I would have done it myself if I had the chance. Guys like different things and there are guys out there that like it bare. The truth is that if a guy loves you then he will except you for who you are. If he didn't like the fact that you were lasered then he shouldn't have had sex with you in the first place. He should have had the balls to say that he is not attracted to bare girls and moved on to someone else. All he is doing right now is making you feel ugly which isn't the case at all. These things should be discussed before intimacy. You did something that you wanted cause it is your preference to not have hair. There are thousands of girls that have done it and when I had laser done on other areas, I asked the tech and she said that a brazillian laser is very common. You can't change what you did but you don't deserve to feel like this. You need to tell him that either he needs to love all of you or nothing at all. Let him find someone that has hair and let yourself find a guy that likes it bare so he will love your body and make you feel like a woman should. FYI : 25% of hair will come back after some years if you don't do touch ups :)

firstly there's nothing wrong with laser hair removal, me, my husband and everyone I know thinks bald is beautiful and I don't know anyone in my real life who actually wants a bush. He's being irrational, he obviously had some kind of pubic hair fetish or obsession. Its not right for him to make you feel that way because what he's doing is taking the intimacy out of your sex life and making you a sex tool(your a person, your more than your vagina, I say if he wants to be inside of it then he better accept how it looks and love the outside as well). He needs to love and embrace every part of you or he doesn't deserve to have sex with you; if he doesn't like it then he doesn't need to have it. He's demeaning and making you feel bad and you don't deserve that. Tell him everything you said here and that he needs to get over it and accept you as you are or else that's the end of your sexual relationship.

You made a decision based on what you like. I don't think I would call that a bad decision. It's your body, so you have every right to groom yourself the way YOU prefer. However, this is the risk of permanent procedures.

My advice, quite honestly, is to break up and find someone who you are more compatible with. Some guys like hair down there, some don't. The fact that your boyfriend cares so much about your lack of pubes that he won't even look at you is a red flag to me, anyway. It's disrespectful and insensitive to your feelings to ask you to cover yourself at a time when he should be eager to see all of you. It shouldn't be that big a deal, and he isn't handling it in a way that is considerate to you. That in itself is a bad sign. But also, you could be so much happier with a partner who loves the fact that you're hairless. It's something to consider. Good luck!
