Do you think completely shaved genitalia is weird?

THIS POLL is a referendum NOT on what YOU necessarily prefer when it comes to pubic hair but rather your opinion on whether or not completely shaved genitalia preferences by anyone is strange or not.

Our pubic hair is very much a sign of our maturity, so why is it that in a lot of popular culture and popular porn there is such an emphasis on being completely shaved? Don’t you find that, say...a bit strange or suggestive?

I think It is a completely normal preference! 26
A little strange but life is strange: normal! 4

    The wording of your question implies that you suspect that people who prefer hairless genitals are closet paedophiles (or they might at least have subconscious paedophiliac tendencies). You maybe even wonder if someone removing their own pubic hair is a sign that they don't want to grow up.

    I'm sure both those things are sometimes true, but I think it's a lot more complicated than that.

    Hairless genitals are now the norm in porn, and I'm sure that's a huge factor in bare genitals being the current fashion. The women in the first explicit porn I saw back in the seventies usually had natural bushes, and the guys were generally pretty hairy all over. Female porn actors who were bare had novelty value, and that's always a good thing in any business. More importantly, porn has a lot of closeups of genital action, and the actors being hairless makes it easier to see exactly what's going on. That was especially so in a time when the technical production values of porn were totally crap compared to today's HD. In the usual way of things, once women having hairless genitals became the norm, pubic hair became a niche genre.

    Women removing their genital hair can be seen as just the obvious extension of the fashion that women should remove all their other body hair (and especially any random facial hairs). There are those who believe that this is a sign that our society wants women to look like prepubescent children, and I'm willing to believe there may be a some truth in that. But I think it's mainly about emphasising sexual dimorphism: human females tend to have a lot less body hair than human males, so women removing body hair emphasises their femininity. It's not that different to women wearing clothing that draws attention to their breasts, the wideness of their hips relative to their waist and how their buttocks tend to be larger than a man's.

    When men remove their pubic hair, that makes their penis appear to be a little longer, since the base is not obscured by hair. Removing hair from the shaft makes it look neater and so more aesthetically appealing. And, since most people instinctively react badly when they get a hair in their mouth, a guy being bare - or at least neatly groomed - makes it more likely someone might agree to take their penis in their mouth. As for guys who remove all their body hair and the people who prefer guys like that, I'm inclined to think that _could_ be mainly about some people liking the prepubescent look. Some women find overtly masculine men intimidating or even frightening, and some gay guys prefer twinks.

    I know some women remove their pubes because they believe that makes keeping themselves clean easier. One of my long-ago relationships was with a woman who had shaved her genitals from the time she was a teenager in the early seventies, so long before it was fashionable. She just liked how it looked and how it felt, and we all have the right to make those sorts of decisions for ourselves.

    You say you've asked this question because someone asked that you do it. I personally quite like the look and feel of smooth labia, and a neatly-trimmed patch at the front looks sexy to me, but I'd never ask a woman to do that. If a woman were to ask me my preferences, I would be honest, but I'd make it clear this wasn't a deal-breaker for me and the decision was entirely hers. While we were discussing the topic, I would also mention that I find prickly stubble distracting and much less appealing than the wildest, most luxuriant natural bush, so I wouldn't be thrilled if she decided to remove her pubes with no intention of regularly maintaining the bare. And, since I find shaving my beard a tedious task, I wouldn't ask someone to commit to doing this on an area that's much more awkward to reach. Also, I very much like pussies, and the thought of using a razor blade on them makes me cringe a little inside.

        Boojum is an expert on long, detailed and well thought out posts. He puts most of us to shame.

        I know I can write long comments sometimes, but dude is on point down to every single detail. I like his mentality.

      Cba to get rid of my pubes, they’re a thick Black Forest that grows at the speed of light. Totally shaved genitals look like plucked turkeys to me anyway.

        I feel that. I honestly just think pubes do add sensitivity to sex too. These crazy kids on here who say sex is better without never let the damn things grow out long enough to try!

    Shaving there can have kind of pedophilic undertones. But sometimes it is just a preference.

      You think it's disgusting to shave or trim the "down yonder" ? You must be a younger.

        I think it's disgusting to shave. Wanting to show our sexual intimacy as soon as we take our clothes off is not healthy.

    As I have mentioned before I'm a Londoner who now retired (71) lives in Pattaya, Thailand. Nearly all the expats over here shave or have their pubes shaved, the Thais don't grow much in the way of pubic hair. Evolution I suppose, many generations in this heat and humidity.

    Wait till you get a straggler in the back of your throat, then you will understand why people like to trim them real short.

    No, but you’re weird for thinking about it enough to be asking.

    • You think so? It’s inspired by the fact that someone recently requested I shave mine and it just got me thinking. Does that make me weird?
