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 don't shave for aesthetics, personally, I shave because I hate having body hair, it bothers me.

    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)/¯

    As a man, my experience with women's hair down there is positive generally. When it comes to oral pleasure however, it gets challenging to me personally.

    The only real issue with oral is that some hairs stay in your mouth.

    I believe you, it makes total sense. Just a little self pitty here

    Basically same.

    I've completely wiped out my moustache and beard for various people who enjoy kissing me, but not the facial hair.

    Some people like the scratch, others don't, others don't really have a strong preference either way, so long as they don't have to go through a mane and end up with a mouthful of hair.

    Just... do that both ways, for 'kissable' body parts, per preference of the 'kisser', and its fine?

    This seems very not complicated to me.

    I usually shave my body hair in summer when i wear lighter clothes with more open skin. Its just easier to apply sun protecting cream to bare skin compared to hairy skin.

    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
