Shaving

In a recent post, the lovely PK made a reference to her husband shaving and spanking her kitty as she calls it.


Anyway, I thought I would do a blog on shaving. I did it a couple of years ago but I have a lot of new readers and I find it fascinating how customs change.

When Playboy started publishing in the 1950s, pussy hair was considered so erotic the magazine couldn't show it. Then shaving was considered kinky. And then it became mainstream. I am still puzzled why and how this happened. There have been suggestions that porn actresses started the trend.

And interesting that many men like it and even some women prefer the smooth feel. Of course, some people prefer a trim or a landing strip compared to shaving it all off -- or waxing it off. And some prefer a full bush.

I happen to like pussy hair but that's me.

So I thought I would open the conservation. Do you shave, wax or trim? How long have you been doing it? Do you do it for him or do you like it yourself? Or do you not shave at all? And do you ever discuss shaving with your real life friends?

I hope you will share your thoughts.

  1. We shave. I started doing it for him. Actually he started doing it in playtime. Now I can't imagine going back and shave regularly.
    Sometimes it is saved for playtime.

  2. sunnygirl: Sounds like fun playtime.

  3. I shave, we tried doing it during playtime but that didn't appeal to us so much. I shave it the way he likes it, but I am very partial to the feel of his full beard on my shaved kitty.

  4. faerie: Interesting that you are partial to the feel of his full beard on your shaved kitty. I would think it might feel scratchy but you obviously like it.

  5. I love the feel of Nick's beard there too! It never once occurred to me to do this before I began reading blogs and came out to Nick. It seemed so strange and kinky the first time. But we both loved it now and I think we'll keep it up.

    Hugs,
    PK

  6. PK: Good to hear you both love it.

  7. I shave the lower part, because sadly it's expected these days because most men want whatever they see in porn, and also so my man can see what he's doing, and I assume that's how he wants it.

    I don't shave the above though. I find it very unpleasant looking when I see pics or video of women shaved above, most of the time there are ugly razer or ingrown hair bumps, and when it's rarely actually smooth-looking, it just looks pre-pubescent which I find creepy. Also, hair on the top kind of hides the view of the lower area, which is a good thing since I find it unpleasant looking. I find nothing at all appealing about female genitalia. It's a good thing men do though or none of us would be here.

    1. T1klish,

      I agree with you about how unsightly a shaved or waxed mons looks with inflamed follicles. I do the same as you and that seems to be a good compromise. Even so if I check how it looks after waxing I can always see several bruised follicles but they are not as noticeable being hidden in the folds.

      I do not like a man without pubic hair. For me there is simply nothing nicer than lots of short black and curlies for me to play with.

  8. I do whatever Wolf tells me to, which can vary depending on his whim. But always at least partially shaved around the edges and trimmed. Unlike t1klish, I think the female anatomy is awesome both up and down. Also (I don't know whether I should share this squirrel whispers), Wolf shaves too. He is the first man I ever met who does this and I think it is so incredibly sexy. :-)

    love, squirrel

  9. I was shaving all of it for a while.. then my husband asked if I could leave some of it... not all of it... he wants me to be trimmed... but some is a huge turn on for him... he said he likes me looking like a "woman" not a little girl... lol. I think its sexy both ways... and its fun to change it up sometimes.. but I must admit I like having a little of it growing....

  10. FD, He has a soft beard, he keeps it well groomed for me and I do the same for him. We both benefit.

  11. I do shave partially for Sir. He is in the process of figuring out exactly how he wants me to look there.. but he likes a bit of hair.

  12. FD,

    I guess I'm in the minority. I have a full bush and Daddy loves it! If you want to see what I look like go read this post on my blog...

    http://kitty-sweetsurrender.blogspot.com/2012/01/pussy-spanked-for-first-time.html

    It's not me, but Daddy picked the picture and he and I both think it looks a lot like me down there.

    Daddy says that he doesn't like the shaved look because it makes women look like little girls instead of women.

    Love,
    Kitty

    P.S. I'm not against anybody else shaving, but it's just not for me.

  13. T1klish: Shaving the bottom but not the top sounds like a good compromise. Have you asked him if he likes it? Found your comment interesting that men like what they see in porn. And sorry to hear you don't find the female genitalia appealing. I like it when women embrace their bodies. But enjoyed your line that if men didn't like it, none of us would be here. I guess men are hard wired to like it.

    Doll: Interesting that you like a man with pubic hair.

    Squirrel: Interesting that you find it so sexy that he shaves. And nice that you think the female anatomy is awesome. As I said, I like women embracing their bodies. And nice to hear you say you do whatever Wolf tells you to. You sound like a good sub who is getting her needs met.

    Audra: Yes, it is nice to change things up. And I can see him wanting some hair so you look like a woman and not a little girl.

    faerie: Nice that you are both well groomed and that you both benefit.

    Nancy: Interesting that he is still figuring out how he likes you down there, but that he does want some hair. I wonder when he will figure it out.

    Kitty: The picture of the full bush on your post got me to thinking of blogging on this subject and then PK's blog made me decide it was time to do it. I also may be in the minority but I like a full bush.

  14. I embrace my body just fine. There's a difference between embracing one's own body and enjoying looking at other women's genitals. I would expect that most men are the same. They like their own, but don't necessarily find other men's penises to be beautiful.

  15. T1klish: Sorry I misinterpreted what you said and am happy to hear that you embrace your body.

  16. I shave completely. Or wax. It's just my personal preference and FD I think you know from reading my blog that I DID stop shaving for my DM but then I went completely bare.

    I wear skimpy lingerie. I definitely didn't like how hair would show through the lace or peek out the sides of my panties.

    Maybe it looks like a little girl instead of a woman but I cannot get past the "hair". To me...on MY body...I'm uncomfortable. Everyone is different! If were all exactly the same, what a boring world it would be! :)

    Great subject. Sorry I'm late commenting.

    Fondly. Sky

  17. Sky: You are so right that it would be boring if we were all exactly the same and I can understand you are uncomfortable with hair on your body. What I find interesting is how mainstream shaving has become in a generation. And will be interesting if you wind up with a DM in the future who wants you to stop shaving.

  18. Florida Dom,
    I can not stand hair on my body except for my head, eyebrows and lashes. I remove ALL the hair from the neck down and I have been doing this since I first started growing hair. I just like the feel of being hairless. I feel more attractive and since I am a child of the 70's I certainly was not raised with other females being so hair conscious. I have shaved, I have waxed, I have threaded and I have had laser treatments and the laser is my favourite most of all.

    Master appreciates the fact that I am clean from hair although quite honestly I do it for myself; the fact that he likes it is an added bonus. I say do what feels right for you. When it comes to men, I appreciate a trimmed pubic area but it does not have to be hairless and I do not expect men to shave their backs or chests - to each their own.

  19. Goodgirl: I can understand you don't like hair from the neck down. To each his own as you said. And does the laser permanently remove the hair?

  20. Florida Dom,
    For me, yes it did. I was told that hormones can affect hair regrowth but I have yet to experience such a situation. Laser is a miracle saver when it comes to wanting to be hairless. :)

  21. goodgirl: Nice you can be hairless without having to keep shaving or waxing.

  22. Florida Dom,
    Exactly. And overall the price is not more expensive because, well if a person does not have too much hair on his/her body a mere 3, maybe 4 treatments complete the hair removal. To have my entire pubic region removed through a laser cost $340.00. If I were to wax it would happen every 3 weeks and cost $50.00 each time. That adds up pretty quick if you think I started to wax when I was a mere 13 years of age and I would still be waxing today at the age of 38 and would continue to do so until I was dead or darn near close. Having a laser treatment hurts a great deal, at least it did for me so that is a factor as well but after 3 treatments I was done. Completely. Intense pain for a short time - definitely worth it!

  23. Yes, it does sound cost effective if you can deal with the pain. And interesting that you started to wax when you were only 13. I guess your hair hadn't been growing too long before then but you must have disliked it right from the start. Can you explain why you felt that way as such a young age? And it's fortunate your Master likes you hairless because I guess it is not growing back.

  24. Florida Dom,
    I had two older sisters, one 4 years and the other 5 years so my inclination to remove my hair came partially from them as in they taught me about waxing so I did not have to shave. I did not like hair because it felt dirty to me. Not necessarily on my arms as I had almost no hair there but my pubic hair left me feeling very dirty, as though I suddenly could not get it clean; as though the hair trapped dirt. I am very aware at how ridiculous that is especially since I bathed twice a day and how much dirt gets on a cunt/mound? Still I just felt dirty and the idea of not having hair made me feel cleaner.

    I am a neat and orderly person. Hair was neither neat or orderly. As for Master, he indeed is happy, he does not really groove to hair either although he is not against bodily hair. It really was just a surprise win for him.

    Hair is a fascinating topic of conversation and I am in awe at just how different we all are. Thank you for the interaction. I look forward to many more.

  26. goodgirl: Yes, hair -- remember the popular Broadway play by that name -- is a fascinating topic of conversation and I want to thank you for contributing to it. It is amazing how different we are. Obviously, you weren't dirty since you were bathing twice a day but if you felt you were, that's the important thing. And as I said before, how fortunate you are that he likes it that way.

  27. wow. love that you brought this up. i spend far too much time agonizing over it all.

    i wax it all off - shaving irritates the skin too much, and hair grows back softer with waxing. i definitely do it b.c. i think of it as "neutral" for partners. i'm paranoid that hair is offensive.

    w/ women partners... i want them hairless, but don't have a method preference.

    w/ men... i just wish they didn't grow hair on their balls. it's horrible when they shave it - HORRIBLE. and i wouldn't trust a man who waxed it off. i just don't want to suck on hair balls. is anyone w/ me on this?...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Deb: Interesting that you want your women partners hairless and I am somewhat confused that you don't want to suck on hairballs but you don't want men to shave or wax. I guess you have to put up with the hairballs then. Interesting that squirrel said she thinks it is sexy that wolf shaves and good girl likes it trimmed. We all have our preferences. Maybe I should blog on how women want their men to be.

    Xavier: I'd be fine with sharing traffic except I am not very hi tech.

  29. :-) i like hair in the general area on men, actually. i just don't like it specifically on the balls. it doesn't have to rational, does it? the texture of shaved hair doesn't feel good. and technically, i don't think waxing balls is allowed by credible salons. not sure on that one, though. but, yes, end result: must suck hair balls. lol.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Deb: No, it doesn't have to be rational. So I guess the end result is you must suck hair balls. But I bet your guy loves you sucking them. I don't know if waxing would be done on the balls by guys but don't know if many would like the wax being pulled off. I think I'll blog on this subject and see what other opinions are.
