    A "mate" got locked one night and decided it would be hilarious to shave the old tackle and dock-bumpers. Lashed into it and presented up the "gift" to the lady-companion-burd for appraisal. All good till the next day, when the "Dreaded Itch" descended. Fcuk me, errr, he said, never again.

    Completely shaved punani just looks -well, wrong to me. Btw, why the hating on Mikom because he (correctly) pionted out that it looks like a child? Insecure much?

    I think he touched a nerve with some people.

    There are a few studies on the subject Mikom brought up.

    No, I'm not googling links, thanks.

    Considering adult genitalia look nothing like children's genitalia, calling people who prefer the shaved look 'closet paedos' is silly at best, ignorant and uneducated at worst.

    If anyone had a problem with me shaving my ladyparts, they'd be fairly swiftly dumped. I shave because I want to, not because society expects me to, not because men expect me to. No reason other than I prefer it shaved.

    SKINHEAD!!

    Body hair disgusts me, I hate it. Any blade of hair below my eyebrows gets either waxed off or shaved. My best friend is a beautician so she does my waxing for me, so it's free and I can ask her to wax in odd places. I wax my upper lip, sides of face, behind my neck so my hairline is even and neat if my hair is tied up. I wax my arms, I obviously shave under my arms, I wax the bikini area, I wax my legs, I wax my toes even though there is never anything on them.

    I've been tempted to start waxing my tummy just over my bellybutton but it's tiny blonde hair and I'm worried waxing will make it dark and I've recently noticed blonde fine hair on my forehead and I'm debating having it threaded off. I take regular photos of my back to make sure there's no hair there too.

    Tldr; people can feel cleaner and less vile without body hair. It's personal preference at the end of the day. Hate that attitude, "you look like a child", stfu. Hair is gross

    Sounds like you've got a bit of a compulsive disorder there along the lines of anorexia or bulemia, like these women who think they look like disgusting blimps even though they better resemble a stick insect.

    I'd be more on her "less vile" bit. I'd bet she's beautiful but hung up on her body hair. She could be hung up on worse, but it would be better if she just saw herself as she probably is, beautiful with or without a bit of hair. If a hair's a dealbreaker, the person doing the criticising is a douche. Maybe she's met too many douches.

    A guy who prefers shaved doesn't necessarily mean bald - just tidy and minimalist. I agree; overgrown is not comfortable IMO. But that doesn't mean a requirement to be bald either.

    I normally slap on a good load of Veet on the love truncheon and fruit baskets. Then sit down and watch a bit of telly while keeping the legs akimbo. Usually something serious as you don't want to develop wood while veeted up. So no Xpose. Then wash off in the shower. Clean out the plughole as a courtesy.

    Why do people talk about waxing their vagina? Surely everyone knows that the vagina is the internal birth canal, lined with mucus membrane.

    The hairy area is the vulva, or the fanny, box or gee etc. There's no shortage of words to describe it so no excuse for saying "vagina" in the wrong context.

    Nobody would call a scrotum a foreskin. Why is there such ignorance around women's genitalia?

    Funny how a poster with the name "Acedia", which describes a state of not caring, could be a pedant.

    Ignorance, as you say...

    I'd apply the Lemon Law if that came up any time during a first date conversation :eek:

    I blame the Church. That or if a woman walked into a beauticians and asked them to wax her vulva, chances are she'd be sent down the road to Timmys Car valeting.

    Has to be shaven just a runway for when I'm pissed :D

    And sure don't ye know grass never grows on a busy road :)

    Oh thank you internet, for making me never want to have sex again. :(
    Next time I'm tempted, I'll be thinking of all the judgey revulsion people have for a simple sign of adulthood, and my poor little snatch will curl up and hide under its mossy red hair and never come out to play. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    I always call it a vagina, I know the difference, but who really cares??

    It's personal choice, surely. I used to have hair down there and waxed it all off recently. I don't think I'd go back because it's much handier and I like the feel of it and the increased sensation. But I ain't no kid, trust me. The whopperjabs give that away, not my lack of pubic hair.

    But if someone wants to have a bush, more power to them. It's between that girl and whoever she chooses to show it to.

    I thought she meant something vulva related so was confused. It's obvious now. :o

    I thought she meant flange-flaps too.

    Sparkly Fanta fanny ftw!

    If you've a big black bush though, it's more for the comfort thing than appearance. Hair is thicker and longer. No way would I agree with getting it all taken off, just tidied.

    i shave regualry (not with razor but hair razor) 1) it feels better (david grohl is quoted as doing same)...

    So if Dave Grohl does it, does that mean that we (the unshaven masses) should follow suit? Bollocks to that I say! Each to one's own!

    You must have a lot of spare time for grooming!

    Serious question - What about guys? If they aren't as fastidious as yourself about shaving/waxing do you feel sick and tell them to GTFO? Must be quite tricky, trying to work out if a guy is hairless below before pulling ;)

    Like you said though, personal preference!

    I hate the look of fully shaved men. An ex did that once to surprise me. It looked so wrong. :pac:

    As long as there are no pubes caught in my teeth, blokes can do as little grooming as they want :o

    I thought it would be funny, interesting and maybe a little exciting to hear women talking about how they groom down below.

    I was wrong, very very wrong :(

    I think you should just focus on the result, not the various processes involved. :P
