"Trend" Alert: Clean-Shaven Balls |

Pubes on the floor = no sexy time for you.

If a woman in my life tried to "pressure" me to shave 'em clean, I think the resulting conversation would be very short ("Sorry, that's not how I play") and unlikely to be repeated.
I suppose that when women feel themselves pressured by men to alter their grooming, something very different must be going on. Does the pressure really come from guys continuing to bring the issue up after being told once or twice that it's a non-starter?

no matter what your politics are, it's really hard to resist the lessons that if you aren't attractive to men, you don't matter.
it's also not like most straight women see each other naked that much. we see media images, and ourselves. it's pretty easy for body hair to seem repulsive if you never see it.

Also, Chapter 348567 in the long-running saga titled Men (and Women Too, I Suppose) Who Convince Women They Lack Attractiveness Based On Trivial Physical Characteristics: Doin It Rong Since Forever.
I guess I can only speak for myself, but in my view the female form itself is the source of most beauty, and if you've got that going for you (i.e., you're a woman, any shape) along with confidence and a sense of humor, then you're about nine-tenths of the way to gorgeous right there. Makeup/clothes/etc. only help at the margins if at all, and when it comes to shaving down there I think the effect is basically zero either way. Do what you like.
I guess I say all this because this thread is the rare place where I've seen women saying they like men for their masculinity -- rather than for more trivial characteristics.
It seems important to me to return that favor, with interest -- since I think that despite what every media outlet would have you believe, most men's turn-ons are just as simple: A woman who obviously enjoys being a woman, and who is willing to share that enjoyment with us, will entrance us every single time -- regardless of what she wears, paints, or shaves.

So the other night, HE asked ME if a day's beard growth on his face makes me uncomfortable when he's kissing me or going "down there." (Very considerate, I know.) So I'm like: no way, dude! It's all good, and I think you look great with a little stubble. (He does!) And as we know from child birth, that region is generally very durable.
So he says that past girlfrieds (younger than I, no doubt) have complained about one day's worth of stubble touching their faces or their nether regions. I told him he should have told them to get some real problems and just be glad they're having sex AT ALL, much less with a cute, sexy, fit, successful guy.
He doesn't shave his pubes, but they're not that thick, and as for me (again, old school), I'm turned off by guys who put too much effort into unnecessary, marketing-driven grooming. I'm certainly not into it, and women who go overboard with it also seem vapid and vain to me. I mean: do stuff to your face and hair if you feel you must to compete (I'll admit I do, and maybe that's how I can attract a younger guy), but this waxing/shaving obsession is just scary.
My ex (hopefully soon to be no longer my ex) is pretty hairy there, and in all the years we were together, I never choked on a single piece of hair.

Interesting.
I personally dislike more than a day's worth of bear stubble on a guy's face-- it hurts! in kissing, and in down there time. Plus, with my sensitive skin, it leaves my chin all red.
I'm also wondering what you mean by "women who go overboard with it". Do you just mean women who shave or wax everything? Or do you mean ones who.. what, I can't even imagine what you mean. But if you mean just shaving everything, its fairly insulting that you think that makes a woman vapid or vain. I don't see how taking care of a private area to get more pleasure for yourself and your partner is vain, especially when compared to public things like makeup which so many women wear. And vapid? Seriously? I'm not sure how you're coming up with that claim at all.

This is my favorite story to share with my friends about my ex because he was an asshole.

I happen to really dig a man that takes the time to remove the hair in his nether regions, it also correlates directly with the amount of time I want to spend there.
I also shave EVERYTHING but the hair on my head, and am sick of the insinuation that
a. I look like a child
b. preferring hair is somehow superior and there is something wrong with liking a shave
Everyone has preferences, I don't think everyone should shave or not shave but the pedophilia comments and the "real" man or woman thing? I'm over it.

Obviously I shouldn't direct my ire at people who decide to remove their hair. However, I absolutely direct it at stupid ad campaigns like this. Because even if a man I'm doing shaves, I'm not going to. I really wish hair removal could just remain a personal preference and not some kind of trend, with required waxing seemingly inevitable.
In short -- it's fear. That they are going to forcibly remove our bushes, or leave us to die alone and barren.

That doesn't trouble me at all -- thinning the herd, etc. My concern is that women might also wind up preferring shaved guys for solely this reason (rather than for any number of well-founded, non-profit-margin-related reasons). So it's a balancing act.
But possibly I shouldn't even worry about this, since I've actually been told that I have "well-distributed body hair." I don't get many compliments on my physical person, so that one has always stood out.

anyway personally for me this look is a total dealbreaker. not my idea of erotic.
