personal grooming

LegacyUser

i have a question for the women on here, regarding personal grooming down below.
sorry for the graphicness but i havnt been with anyone for a while so iv let things go down there, was no point as i was the only one seeing it but iv been dating a girl recently and i think the night of taking things on is coming up pretty soon so i was thinking i better clean up so to speak. was just wondering though do women see it as a bit too feminine to be shaving and grooming down there? or what is the right amount to do, is leaving too little a bit weird or how much is too much? or does it matter at all?

Personally, I am not into the shaved look. Trim it close tightly... but it kinda freaks me out seeing too much skin on show down there!!

Yeah, a happy medium is what you're going for. Trimmed but not shaved (ugh, I find that almost as horrible as having a massive bush).

As a female, my preference is for the male to be fully shaved as well. I shave so I totally expect he would in return. I actually don't get women who go to the trouble themselves of being bare yet find it a turn off in their partners.

Now, having said that, she might not be into the whole bare thing (for you or her) so the happy medium for the first time might be a trim I think. Then take it from there.

Though what do you prefer yourself OP? It's your body afterall, and if you like it shaved as you get more from it then go for it. If you like a mad bush, fine too, as long as you don't expect her to trim hers for you.

It can depend on your body type.

If you go for all-over body waxes or otherwise have as much body hair as a 12-year-old, then going for a tight trim down below can be appropriate. On the other hand, if most of the rest of your body is covered in half-inch hairs, then a tight trim down below is going to look odd and a medium trim would be more appropriate.

From speaking to women, most prefer some hair to no hair because being completely bare makes you look like a naked child and the existence of body hair projects masculinity.

From what I can tell though, the vast majority of men don't do anything at all down there and don't seem to have any problems with women, so I wouldn't stick it top of your list of worries.

I'll never understand a women who wants her man to be fully shaved down below. Fooking weird if you ask me. A trim to keep it neat is fine but looking like a pre-teen is just wrong.

I've never been with a shaved man, but I have been with guys who did nothing, as in not even a trim. And without going into detail, its not too pleasant and gets in the way of things. At least trim it up a little to make it easier for her, if you get what I'm saying.

I've seen shaved guys in porn, I don't think I really thought about it too much. Not sure if it would bother me at all. To be honest, I think its not that important. If she has a big issue with whatever you have going on, she will tell you, but I don't think its that big of a deal breaker given the situation!

don't stress yourself out! whatever you think looks right will be fine! Quick trim, nothing too obvious and that should do. I wouldn't be too into a guy that looked like he spent a bit too much time fussing about down there.
