I am a married 40 year old man. My wife and I both shave everything. The only hair I have is on my head and my eye brows.
Sex feels so much better with out all the hair in the way and it makes oral sex so much better. I’m sorry girls but, if you have a lot of hair down there, it smells like pee, no matter what you do. And no man wants to put his face is a bunch of pee scented hair.

Smooth is very much sexier. For us it is the only way to go.

I really appreciate the balanced comments from both sides of this issue, and beg a follow-up How-To article. . .

I myself have another reason for the “not” category.
I’d look ridiculous if the only parts of my body not furry were my palms, bottoms of my feet, and crotch, and I’m not going to have my whole body shaved/hair epilated.

There seems to be a surge of young adult women who want to show of there body. Let me tell you first of all your body is something sacred that only you and your husband should be looking at therefore if he likes it do if he doesn’t don’t and same goes for the man.

But if for some strange reason you feel you need to show of your body than do it in the privacy of your own home instead of making hundreds of thousands of men fall into the sin of lust.

Are you kidding? This is what belongs in the news?

It is no fun going down on your partner and swallowing hairs or have them get caught in your teeth.

Just 30 years ago, you could open a Playboy and all the women had very full “bushes,” which frankly left a lot to the imagination, so I disagree that going bare has always been more or less in vogue.

In the end, it’s NOT about how you (they) LOOK…it’s how you FEEL…it’s about the TOUCH..
Imagine you’re 16 again..Or you’re 30, or 50, right now, and you’ve found a new romantic interest….It’s been another pleasant evening, and you’ve gotten to the point where your hand will be sliding down into the “thrill area”. Your fingers slide down the stomach. Just when you expect to feel the sensual, electric thrill of the hair that’s supposed to be there FOR THAT purpose, to arouse erotic excitement, you encounter what feels like your father’s chin…Game over.
I rest my case.

Well, this is not for me, but I see no medical reason why a person should be disuaded from doing it.

Without pictures the story has me feeling, well, less than satisfied.

Seriously…I had to shave my nut pouch for a vasectomy and I was surprised that it doesn’t itch and my wife loves the smoothness. After the swelling subsided that is. I think I’ll keep it this way.

booo yah

This is not a topic of polite conversation, and it certainly is not news. Is this really something you should be talking about? How dare you!

When I was in early 20’s, I had to be shaved “down there”as y
ou say, for surgery. I HATED IT; I felt like I looked 9 or 10 years old, it was NOT sexy looking. My husband didn’t complaint but he liked it better “there”. Of course he did, its what a WOMAN is supposed to have. After divorce (30’s), I worried because of not having the same sexy looking nook; and then was surprised to find out younger women were DOING IT ON PURPOSE. AKK. I finally saw a picture online - she didn’t look ugly but she didn’t look like a woman either…she looked 9.

I know why some men like the clean shaven - that can be “handled” without shaving it off…if the woman is considerate in keeping it trimmed or assisting in keeping it out of the way.

OF COURSE we should keep it groomed and not let it turn into a copy of cousin IT….but please — a nice, triangle of close to the body, smoothly curled hair (which mine WAS) is sexy…it was kept nice. However, the forced shaving changed that forever. I had to work harder at keeping it trimmed closer because shaving it made it lose its natural tightness and closeness to the body. I never forgave my doctor for that. lol But seriously, I don’t think it was so absolutely necessary as they insisted and I should have refused to allow it. I didn’t know that I could…

I ESPECIALLY do NOT want to see MEN shaving there. Eeeoooo.
I don’t want an apeman….(hair anywhere too much, like back, chest, arms shoulders…) but I do NOT want him to intentionally shave all that away. It doesn’t bother me in the least. WHY? Their’s doesnt get in the way of anything.

And the comment that hair causes LESS friction? That is totally wrong…hair on both causes MORE friction, therefore heightened
arousal.

Come on young folks, grow up again, keep it groomed and look like a woman (and MAN) again…not a 10 year old.

Augh that’s disgusting. (looking like a 9 or 10 y/o.when an adult body otherwise.)

It’s an obsession born of affluence, excess, and leisure. In other words, when people get too much time on their hands they focus too much attention on things that are insignificant. I prefer humans who are comfortable with what nature gave them, and don’t care a wit what anyone else says about it.

ever hear of razor burn? Well if they have not just shaved sletsjust say stubble is bad.

Simply put, this generation feels that hair is gross. I am one of them.

No one has commented at all on ingrown hairs. Having red irritated marks of ingrown hairs trying to grow back looks horrid in the bikini area.

As a guy, I agree with shaving! Smooth women are HOT! I’m VERY trimmed. It does take time and a lot of effort! Itchy at first, then your skin gets used to it. The attitude has been promoted by the easy access to porn online. Many females (& guys too) are shaved. That promotes the idea that that is cool for the rest of us commoners!

I have kept my hair always neat and trimmed, it’s just good grooming and looks better. I have been doing this for about fifteen years now.

Come on FOX. You folks are better than this.

Thank god I have news companies to keep me informed about the important events of the day.

I’m a 31 year old man and have been shaved for 10 years.

I have started shaving my groin area on and off when I was 18 and have been shaven all the time since I was 30, or about 12 years. I love the feel and look of a smooth pubic area and sack. It feels much cooler in the summer and wonderful at my trips to the nude beach.

I just shave it in the shower every 3rd or 4th day. It only takes a couple extra minutes a time to lube up and shave it.

I would recomend to anyone to try if for two weeks. The fist couple days you may itch some the first time, but now that I do it regularly I no longer have a problem.

I’m male, and I hate the shaven thing. I love natural - and I have to somewhat agree with Napoleon, but two weeks?

If shaven is preferred for hygiene purposes, then I could understand, but as a fashion statement, it’s silly.

If people wore clothing with more coverage shaving shaving would not be necessary. I think hair comes in heavier and sticky. Also the possibility of infection with saving,etc. When men shave body hair they appear less manly.

Now, we need to get to the spot where it doesn’t matter if you do one or the other. I prefer to not wax or shave everything off. This does not make me weird or dirty. Hair just does not bother me. If people want to shave or wax all their pubic hair off, fine. Leave me alone about mine!

i think it is very dangerous and ahistoric to presume anything by looking solely at art to determine how things used to be or have always been. art is stylized and often interested in form, not in merely replicating in exacting detail what is “real”–this was even true in pre-photographic times when one may suggest that there was a need for strict realistic reproduction. if one would follow your undisciplined way of looking at things, one could also infer that there was an epidemic of beautiful amputees in antiguity as many great roman and greek statuary are armless and headless.

also there is also as much an issue of class within the topic, as culture. for example, would the “professionals” –courtesans, prostitutes, etc–and/or privileged do something different than the average woman. would the wealthy, who had time and money to beautify and were expected to be much more ornamental (in the sense that it was the chinese women of a certain status, for example, who had their feet bound), participate in much more elaborate grooming than a less well-off woman .

I simply find it stretching credulity to think that most women through the ages tended themselves in such a way when one considers the appalling standards of sanitation that existed until almost the 20th c.

i also think that the current fascination with hairlessness, both female and male (wtf?) is strictly related to the mainstreaming of porn.

Extreme hair removal for both men and women comes from a common culture that has brought to the public tattoos, fake breasts, awful puffed lips, and piercings. The common culture feeds upon the images presented by a media that has moved into a realm of the lowest cultural values.

I, for one, do not enjoy this change in appearance and do not believe that the bumps, reddened areas, stubble and pre-pubescent look are either attractive or sexually enhancing.

On my wall I have a nude Louise Brooks image from the late 20s and a visitor commented when he saw her that she didn’t look hygienic because she had pubic hair. I’d be disinterested in a woman who didn’t look like an adult.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jon Aronson

I personally prefer to see SOME hair, just for that maturity factor.

But you forgot another reason for males to go bare. It makes them look bigger.

Natural women are far more attractive than the shaved ones.
Whatever possessed women to shave body hair is beyond me.
Besides, the time saved from not shaving and false body image dilemmas would serve women better than the unfortunate trend of the hairless prepubescent style.
I’d much prefer a woman of age that looks her age than the fake prototypes out there. And, they are out there.

Do you people not have better things to talk about? I look for news on here, not this trash!

But, how s the best way to go bare? Can you use a depilitory cream? Or do you have to brave the razor or the waxing?

I used to be put off by completely shaven women, but I’ve totally changed my opinion. To me when it comes to public hair, less is always more. A woman with an unruly sloppy bush tends to smell bad. Pubic hair is disgusting and it holds in odor, no matter how much you scrub. A shaven woman is cleaner and much sexier. To me going hairless is a must if you enjoy going down on your partner. I started to keep myself trimmed though not completely simply out of common courtesy.

I love hair on women. Hair on the underarms and crotch tells me that she’s not a prepubescent girl. I sometimes wonder if men who want their women to be shaved all over are really pedophiles at heart.

I thought the economic explanation was compelling - it’s cheaper to remove hair, so women do it. That still doesn’t make it right.

I’m a 47 year old male and have been shaving my whole body now for 25 years. It’s something I’m comfortable with and my wife of 27 years is comfortable with.

Bare is better then hair I always say.

With the comments made by so-called “sex experts” of going bare for an adult is child-like is an opinion and not an accurate, factual conclusion in all cases. For the pedophile maybe, or someone who has a deviant sexual apatite having no hair on their genitals‘, (male or female) may remind them of what they felt like when they were being sexually abused; like with those who suffer from emotional-aging. But for the adult who enjoys the depthness of the sexual encounter, being bare down there gratifies the ability to climax to the level of extreme touch.

“Your hair-down-there is believed to retain and disseminate musky pheromones, substances the body emits as a sexual attractant that drives your lover crazy.” I would disagree with this summation that our pubic hair retains these pheromones and would agree that our sweat glands disseminate these odor’s. When we walk by someone who is disseminating the “musky-pheromones” that prick our nasal sense‘s, are we actually being able to get turned on sexually through layers of clothes and cosmetic cover up? For the woman sexual arousal is by touch, even every so slightly tender to levels of aggressiveness. For the man, we are pretty much turned on all day long, it just takes that certain someone to get us to bare all, (normally speaking).

The musky-pheromones is what perfume manufactures want us to think about their products like AXES for Men and Channel No. 5 for women. Manufacturing our sexual senses fails more often then succeeds. Animal urine has been a tried attempt to get us to act more animal in our love making, with a little dab behind the ears, cleavage and belly button regions for the ladies, guys (some of us could swim in it and we think we are smellin’ pretty HOT); but we actually come down to our own sexual appetites. Shaving down there below the belt-line, can generate a novices touch to sexuality even though we maybe slightly older then when we were a virgin. Climaxing from deep within our emotions, body and the relationship of the one we are doing it with I think can only come from less obstructions is our love making like hair.

bare is boring.. millions of women have the same look…. unisex childness???????

This is what passes for news? I HATE FOX!!!
