I don't see the point in shaving pubic hair?

Question

I really don't see the point in shaving pubic hair and also, the fact that girls are expected to shave everything off and that it's okay that guys don't shave is revolting.
An example is leg hair. Girls are expected to shave because guys like it smooth and clean and whatnot. But what if that wasn't the "feminine" view in society? When my boyfriend's hairy leg brushes against mine it's scratchy and annoying sometimes, but I don't tell him to shave it all off... but girls are expected to...
This includes underarm and even down there... I realised GaGers are like that too... In many "Should I shave down there?" questions the answers from guys would be something like "of course, it's disgusting" "i would never go down on you if you don't" "shave it all off!" and even comments from girls "it's disgusting" "you should shave it off, it has no use there".
I'm not being feminist... But it annoys me that because of what modern society deems as "normal" and "beautiful" we are expected to follow... But obvious we all know that it's what the  p*rn  industry determined as normal.
What if they decided to make guys shave all their hair off too? Get surgery to make their penises bigger... Would all guys start doing it?
I keep my pubic hair down there natural, I shave my legs and underarms when I want here and there and my fiance doesn't care. He even likes it better that way.
Just a rant, and curious what others think. :)

Okay there is a lot to cover here so i guess i'll take it on one at a time. First off everyone has there own preferences in how they look to how they groom, and should find someone that can respect there decisions. As for women with bush i don't mind. Personally i don't mind hair at all it's just as good to me as clean shaving, a small patch, a design, pearcing all cool with me. What i do mind is unkemptness, and what i mean by that is i like pleasing any woman i'm with orally it's one of my favorite things beyond using finger play and sex in general. That being said i don't mind if she has a bush what i mind is if go down there and have to comb threw a jungle and choke on a hair ball just to find the magic spot. So please let her have her bush, but at least trim an manage it that's all i want. I trim mine because i don't want to have the jungle effect and i like receiving as well as giving so i try to manage it just so it's easier for any woman i'm with to manage me simple as that. As for leg hair i ask that she dose shave it because aesthetically it is pleasing to me and as a man i sacrifice my facial hair because even though i want a man beard i know i look bad with one so i shave it to please any women i'm with that asks me to shave it and they do ask. Also they don't like my face being all scruffy like sand paper, and that's fine i'm willing to sacrifice if she is. As for arm pits well as a man as long as it don't smell and again is at least trimmed all cool i will make sure mine smells good and is at a reasonable length to. Most women how ever either don't grow much hair there or shave because of personal choice though and that's fine with me to. And i get the point of the issue your having and to more directly answer that i think as people we have to make personal choices from how we look to how we manage and care for ourselves that being said we should find people that can except us for who we are and we as people need to learn that sometimes sacrificing

Absolutely nothing wrong with what you say and your shaving limits.

Here's my thinking for girls.

Shave your legs below your dress hem because it looks right. Where it doesn't show, its up to you.

Shave your underarms if you are going to the beach or wearing a sleeveless blouse because it looks right.. Otherwise, let it grow. I have typical moderate growth beneath my arms. If I encountered that with you in an intimate setting, it would be a non-issue.

Groom down below for bikini panties or a suit. Undergrowth on inner thighs or above the main bush line is unsightly, but within the suit line, grow is much as you are comfortable with. It will not put me off.

Moderate body hair at underarms and down below looks sexy, mature. feminine and modest to me.

I do nothing with my underarms. I run a hair clipper at my chest and down below once in a while when I get too bushy.

I'm well over thirty. The whole grooming obsession fades when you are busy with real life. Just keep your "flower" clean and mature guys will be good with you with whatever fuzz to retain.

u can be expected to do something and not actually do it, u know. if u didn't care about looking weird then u wouldn't do it, but because you do, u just subconsciously conform, like we all [well most of us] do.

I don't know bout u but I'm not a follower of everything society tells me. for me, hair removal is about looks and hygiene, so i do it. other stupid things like:
if you're skinny then you're beautiful
if you reveal more skin you will get more positive attention
if you wear makeup and cover your imperfections, that makes you more attractive.

FCXK THAT!^^^ there r some things which actually make sense for me to follow them, and others r just bullshit. its all a matter of preference. whats bullshit to me could be very significant to u, and vice versa:) live ur life ur way girl.

I either shave or wax down there, I have really sparse, ulight blonde fuzz down there any way. I do it for me, I like the way it feels, for me it feels cleaner and more feminine. It doesn't matter to me a bit if everyone else wants to grow theirs out, I will still wax or shave down there. My boyfriend has seen me both ways, he's never asked me to shave or not, he knows that's the way I like it. I not going to tell you or anyone else how they should manage their body hair it's a personal preference, go bare or have hair do what feels right for you.

I don't mind snuggling up to my boyfriends hairy body, his hair contrasts with my soft skin just like his manliness contrasts with my femininity. He doesn't complain if I'm a little stubbly (legs or down there)' I sure do I hate being stubbly.

I completely agree! I will only shave around the entrance, the rest of my "bush" stays. I don't shave that little bit because anyone asked me to, but because I want to, for my boyfriend, my own choice. He loves that I have hair down there, she thinks it's sexier than being bald, we both agree being bald looks kind of young.. and I prefer him hairy down there too! I feel so much sexier since I stopped shaving. I shave my legs and underarms when I want, like you, but he doesn't really care if I have hair or not. If a man expected me to shave or wouldn't go down on me because I have a bush, I'd tell him to fuck right off, because he don't deserve to see my body then!

You don't have to do it just because everyone else does, my mom has never shaved her legs and you can barely tell she has any leg hair. Personally, I prefer to, but that doesn't mean I do it all the time. I've been with my partner for a long time and he just has to put up with stubble legs sometimes, but he doesn't really care. Also, he does have a trim down there because let's face it, a mouth full of pubic hair does kill the mood!

spankingthemonkey · Answer

I love natural to a little less. Hate shaved or clippered hair down there. I find the highly trimmed ones are stubby, hard and sharp where a full natural bush is silkier and softer.

I honestly don't mind the underarm hair. Kind of a turn on for me.

As far as legs, if you are showing it off in public then it should be shaved. If your partner does not care more better to you!

broadsword · Answer

I agree totally if a woman wants to be natural I don't see a problem at all , it wouldn't stop me going down on them. Also arm pit hair no issue either.
I would say though that hairy legs don't look so good in stockings :)
I did a poll on whether girls think their guys should shave their pubes. It came out that they should at least keep it trimmed and short.

Natalie9898 · Answer

I think it just depends what you like. I like to wax but my bf doesn't care I just personally like to feel clean lol that is just my opinion :)

Invoker · Answer

Just some food for thought, I shave downstairs and plan on starting to wax my upper body the beginning of next year. And I'd like to wax my lower body. But it's whatever my SO wants or if I'm adamant about Some of my ideas.

Langan · Answer

It has nothing to do with being feminist, it has to do with the fact it's the natural body and hair grows there for a reason. I appreciate the natural body and lack of pubes looks disturbingly premature and makes me feel like a pedophile.

Ilikemadison · Answer

My personal preference is completely shaved with a small landing strip but I think bush is fine as long as it's manageable and not a jungle. I like to be able to touch and feel her without hair getting in the way. Also when there's less hair there's a better view when you're in a position that affords it.

There are plenty of guys that like hairy legs and mountain woman bush. If that's what you like then you'll still find someone. Do you still shave occasionally or is it a firm belief?

XNicholeMariex3 · Answer

I personally find it a little gross. Wearing a bikini and all that, just need to make sure nothing hairy pops out LOL.
But seriously, that's just my opinion, I just don't like hair anywhere but on my head and eyebrows.

CuriousEddie · Answer

Well, I'm weird, but I kinda like natural... especially underarms.

Dionysos · Answer

I dont think girls should shave.

Waxing is way smoother on my lips when I'm making sweet sweet love to her.

If she wants me smooth she gets me smooth. It's just a matter of making myself as appealing to her as I can.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

You shouldn't care what people think, do what you like. .. Body hair is revolting to me but my boyfriend could care less if I'm fully shaved or prickly

Klaatu51 · Answer

don't give a shit if the guys like it. shave them only if you like

Mesonfielde · Answer

Screw shaving if you don't want to, although trimming pubic hair does make it more accessible. Shaving is overkill in my opinion, and I honestly don't care if someone has leg hair or armpit hair or whatever, I have more important things to care about. I am somewhat baffled by how entitled some males act about all this.

campylobacterjejuni · Answer

You do what you prefer, a lot of men wouldn't care. Also just by the way what you're saying is feminist, that's not a bad thing you need to hide away from or apologize for.

Sexualchrist · Answer

I prefer a woman to have hair down there too. It just looks better. I disagree that men should shave their legs though.

kangy · Answer

Ruby666 · Answer

Tbh i dont like hair on my body so i always get rid of it. I epulate. Dont shave, wax!!!

John83 · Answer

I think pubic hair looks sexy on a girl and my girlfriend keeps hers trimmed. It definitely doesn't stop me from going down on her.

Ghosty · Answer

It's just the beauty ideal that was established. It's nicer not to eat hair while pleasing sb. orally too. If women establish shaved, rather than trimmed, men as the beauty ideal, yes we'd do it. It's all about trends, and what the majority likes.
