If you somehow ended up bottomless in public, would you find it more embarrassing if you were shaven or unshaven (or equally)?

On one hand, being shaven would expose more of your genitals, which could be embarrassing. On the other hand, it's socially unacceptable to have pubic hair, so that could be more embarrassing. Which would likely be true for you?

  • It's an odd question. I am not uncomfortable being naked in public venues. Been there, done that. However, the context of the question makes it seem that being sans pants and underwear would be something I had not planned or expected. Not sure how I would end up there.

    Still, taking all of that as a given, being unshaved would be more embarrassing, by far. I just don't get this passion by some grown men to appear as if they somehow skipped puberty. It just reeks of psychosis. (I joke a little.)

    Still, if people are going to see my manhood, I want to be thought - especially by the ladies - to be a man. Not a boy who has yet to kiss a girl. In this, I am happy to say, I have a girlfriend - and mother of my children - who fully agrees.

    One time, thinking it was the fashion, I thought to surprise her by shaving my pubes, armpits, chest, legs. She was surprised all right. She hated it. She said it made her feel, when she kissed me, like a child molester.

    Lesson learned. What girlfriend wants, girlfriend gets. Besides, evolution gave us that hair for a reason - as a means to retain pheromones. So when you shave "down there," you are basically sending your sex appeal into space - and I need all the help I can get.

    So if anyone sees that part of me, I want them to know that they are seeing the "full package." Put me down as proudly unshaved.

  • I go to a nudist beach - where the ratio of males & females is simiar - quite often and my genitals are hairfree (waxed regularly) and I'm not at all embarrassed tbh...

    ... and sometimes my closest female friend comes with me, she too is waxed and not embarrassed

    But if I somehow ended up bottomless in a public place I think I'd be embarrassed initially, though a little less so for being hairfree because my genitals would be seen in a more aesthetically acceptable (for me anyway) appearance

    • That wasn't the question 😂😂 😂

    • Nudist beach is a different story. Most everyone is naked including me.😂

  • That has, unfortunately, happened to me very recently.

    I went to the beach with a few friends and we were playing volleyball about waist deep in the water.

    This massive wave surprised us all and dragged us towards the beach. When we managed to stand up and compose ourselves I realised, in the middle of all that tumbling and rolling and gasping for air, I had lost my bikini bottom.
    Fortunately it was still laced to my leg so I managed to put it back on pretty quickly.
    And my friends acted surprisingly cool about it which made the whole ordeal much less embarrassing, so we just laughed it off and kept playing.

    Still that last thought on my mind, at that moment, was my personal grooming lol it's embarrassing either way and I wouldn't want it happening again.

    • *the last thought

  • One more time, let me partially disagree with you.

    I searched the term "pubic hair social acceptance," or any form of that sentence and nowhere do I come across that statement. The only possible reference to what is seen as acceptable is the pressure by the pornographic industry to shave pubic hair in order to have better camera angles and action without the hindrance of pubic hair.

    I fail to see why the fact to have your pubic, armpit or legs hair would in any case be unacceptable by society. Who edicts those rules and where are they found?

    Regardless, it would be more than just embarrassing. It would be shameful, a total loss of self respect and the utmost humiliation I would have to suffer besides perhaps being raped or otherwise abused.

  • I keep my shit shaved, but neither one would bother me. I'm not ashamed of anything.

    If people look, that's on them. Doesn't hurt me.

  • Well I stay shaved I think being unshaven would be a way more embarrassing

  • I guess it depends culturally and how old you are. I think a young bachelor would likely keep it at least trimmed and groomed. A unkempt bush signifies they don't get much action because why maintain what won't be seen. If gyms are any indication, older people couldn't care less.

  • At my age, the expectation to have shaved public hairs is weak. Most women my age have pubic hair but I have had a few partners who shaved. For mean, the expectation is even lower. Someone knowing that my pubic hair was shaved would be interpreted as something I have done because I am ready to have sex. I really don't discuss such things publicly, so being shaved and exposed would be more embarrassing.

  • I wouldn't be embarrassed either way

  • It wouldn't be embarrassing for me

  • I heard the rumor that the Olsen Twins had hairy vaginas and have big boobs.

    I have experinced both so I can tell you both was embarrassing as each other

  • It would be embarrassing either way, shaven or not. Also, I don’t think it’s any more or less socially acceptable for any personal grooming habits regarding pubic hair.

  • Socially unacceptable to have pubic hair? Haha ok

  • How can I be shaven or unshaven if I'm missing my lower half?

  • If we were talking a place where nude was acceptable.. I'd be interested to hear their response.. Currently I'm unshaven

  • C. Embarrassed either way but more so if I was unshaven.

  • Being unshaved doesn't really hide anything for the males

  • Neither. But I’d prefer if I were shaven.

  • I'd be embarrassed in both cases, but more embarrassed if I wasn't shaven

  • This is a very American thing. Most of the world doesn't fully shave, only trim. In fact we view people who fully shave as slutty.

    Besides, hair is sexy.

    • The French don't do body hair... Lol... Let me tell you

  • Probably I'd find it more embarassing if I was shaved.

  • I’d be embarrassed no matter what but not about my hair or no hair it would be because the fact everyone can see my stuff

  • I am shaven and I'd be incredibly embarrassed for everyone to see how small I was

  • Doesn’t much matter to me. I’m getting a ride home from a friend lol
