To Shave Or Not To Shave: Pubic Hair
Ironically, this is a subject that is near and dear to my, well, vagina, at the moment. I started waxing and or shaving my pubic hair completely off in 1993! Hair free since ’93! Recently, however, I had a shaving snafu and ended up having to grow my hair back while my rather bad cut healed. So now I find myself with a full-ish bush. This feels completely odd to me since I have been bare for so long. I am contemplating shaving it off again. This is a dilemma many women (and some men) may contemplate. So, what do you do? Do you shave or wax off your pubic hair, should you leave it, or is there a reason to keep your hair down there? This is a personal choice for everyone, so let’s go through some pros and cons.
MORE SENSITIVITY
There are definitely some pros to shaving pubic hair, and the biggest one is the difference in sensitivity. Hair does create a bit of drag for a wet tongue sliding around. Whereas, if there is no hair down there everything slides around wonderfully. Plus, it is much easier for him to see where everything is! Girl, you don’t need any more issues with directing him to your clit. The same can apply to him if he shaves his balls. Imagine how sensitive his balls will be when he removes all the hair and your tongue slides around down there?

MAKES HIM LOOK BIGGER
I absolutely guarantee if he shaves off his pubic hair that he will feel like his penis looks so much larger. The added little bit of hair removal gives his manhood a few inches of shaft length. Who could argue with that!
HAIR IN THE TEETH NO MORE
This one is a bit selfish, but who likes hair in their mouth or teeth during a blowjob or oral sex? No one, that’s who. While we all accept that it happens, it is still much better to not have any hair stuck in your throat during oral. So, when the hair has been shaven or waxed there is no hair down there to get in the way!
SEXY UNDIES AND BATHING SUIT BOTTOMS
Women like to wear teeny-weeny bikini bottoms or panties, and sometimes having a tuft of hair down there makes it look like there is a hamster underneath her panties. Waxing, shaving or even just trimming down really low can greatly enhance the sex appeal of her nether area in sexy panties.
HARD TO MAINTAIN
Let’s be honest, if you have no hair down there you have maybe a 3-4-day grace period before the itching starts and the hair begins to poke and prod as it grows back in. So, this means you are shaving at least every few days. With waxing the hair stays gone much longer, a few weeks, but you still have to be religious about that spa appointment to catch it before it gets too long and uncomfortable. No one likes an itchy crotch.
CUTS, RAZOR BUMPS & INGROWN HAIRS
One word – owie. Ingrown hairs hurt no matter where you get them, but when you get them on your balls or inner vaginal lips, they can be even more painful than a cut. Plus, razor burn is super nasty on your nether area. If you are the one taking care of your shaving needs there is an obvious chance of cutting yourself down there. This is exactly what has happened to me and it was super painful! Having a razor cut down there is painful, takes a while to heal, and can definitely make things uncomfortable for a while until it heals.

MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A CHILD
While I personally disagree with this statement, because if you are a WOMAN, it means that you should NEVER be thought of as a child, but some people say that when the pubic hair is gone, it makes her nether area look like that of a pre-pubescent child. So, if you are of this vain of thought, then you may not want to shave or definitely leave a little landing strip or the above mound hair.
LEGIT HEALTH REASONS
There actually is a physical reason for pubic hair. It is designed to catch dirt and bacteria and keep it from getting into the vagina. However, with current health practices and new soaps and feminine hygiene products available now, there is less of a reason for pubic hair to be the bacterial barrier.
So, no matter which you choose there is a pro or a con to either choice, and it is a personal one for every person, so choose wisely!
