Ultimately this isn't a section on what i think is wrong or right, per se. This area has to do with taste, or if you prefer, preference.

Until recent years, women were expected to use a razor on their legs and armpits only. This is a result of one of the most sucessful advertising campaigns by steel and shaving companies in the aughts and teens of the previous century. Pubic shaving has come into style relatively recently and people tend to love it or hate it.

The women and men who like it tend to just like the "clean" appearance, the way it feels during lovemaking and there are even a few who like it because the act of letting someone else shave them is a thrill; an act of trust like few others.

Those who like the "hair gone wild" look, aka: wookie bush, tend to just like natural looking coifs for pubic areas, but more times than not, still insist a woman shave her armpits and legs. I guess that's fine and like i said, it all comes down to preference.

As for me, if i wanted to get a mouthful of hair, i'd go to the local SuperCuts and swab their floor with my tongue.

I like the way a shaved muff looks. For that matter, if i'm watching a porno, i really don't want to see a guys johnson that looks like a kielbasa that's been rolled in a vat of hair.

I like the way shaved naughty bits look, i like the way it feels, i like to have an unobstructed view of the pokey bits playing with the inserty bits and i want my girlfriend to see me pleasing her instead of looking down to see me basically trying to give mouth-to-mouth to a nest of tribbles.

Some try to "compromise" by shaving little mustaches onto their pubis and shaving their labia. This ends up looking like you're fucking Charlie Chaplin or Adolph Hitler. This is one statement that's even more ridiculous than wookie bush. Granted, i've seen and played with a few who just "maintained the lawn" and for the most part, it was a relatively happy compromise.

But Shelly, it looks like a child !

This is one of the most common things i hear from people who try to detract from people who shave their groonies. Let me pick this statement apart, one layer at a time.

First and foremost, if you're looking at someones pubic area and relating it to children, you have fucking issues. You are a diseased, malformed, sick individual who needs to be sterilized and moved so far away from civilization that you never see a child again. Even if you make that statement to detract from those who shave their netheregions, you're a sick, fucked up individual. Do not argue, do not comment, do not respond, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Never, NEVER, NEVER have i looked at any erotica or porn depicting a woman or man with a shaved pubic region and thought about children. Besides, do you think the external appearance of a boy is anything like that of a man, even if the man is sans hair? Same thing goes for girls and women... if you can't tell the difference between a girl and a woman or a boy and a man, then you're a sad, diseased, malignant, sexually retarded idiot.

But back to what this is all about... preference.

I prefer no wookie bush. It wasn't attractive in the decades leading up to the "shaving revolution" of the late eighties, early nineties and it's sure as hell not attractive [to me] now. I know there are a lot of guys and gals out there who have that double standard of expecting a woman to shave her legs and armpits and "mustache" as well as pluck any stray hairs from her aereola that might grow there, and then expect her to have an acre or two of hair between her legs. Don't bother to call it anything else other than hypocrisy. I mean, if you're going to be honest about what it's all about, be sure to check out Hair to Stay, so you can get a glimpse of your dreambabes.

There's also the hypocracy of those who want a woman to shave her "bikini line" but leave the rest. What the fuck is THAT all about? It's like drinking Diet Beer. You can drink all the Miller Lite or "Silver Bullet" you want... you can tell yourself whatever you believe, but in the end, it's just fucking diet beer. Likewise, the "bikini line" cut is like mowing two swaths of grass in your yard and saying it's mowed.

Anyway, i encourage you to experiment and find out what looks best on you as well as what you're most comfortable with. Gals, don't think you have to look like a hair bomb went off in your groin. It's fine for some [Amish and baptists and scientologists come to mind], but not for all. At the same time, i have to admit, a shaved nookie isn't best for every woman. Just don't shave some stupid "Hitler" into your pubis or some nasty-ass looking chevron or other stupid design. Guys, don't think you're exempt from this either. You expect your girlfriend to shave but you don't ? Grow up. If she does it for you, better yet, if she trusts you enough to let you shave her, then you sure as hell need to be man enough to return the favor. I've heard some guys say, "But it looks gay !" Well, it brings to question why they're thinking of gay men when they think of their own cock. In and of itself, that speaks VOLUMES. Kind of like guys who "fagbash", then watch football every weekend that they can. Beyond that, perhaps if these same guys knew what bears were, they'd realize maybe they already look gay. =)
