I found that scratching the same place too much killed the roots, so now I have a bald patch in the top middle. That's sort of like smiting them, isn't it?

:lol: I guess so. But I've been trying not to scratch, and that doesn't help. :P

I've tried to find a length that doesn't poke me as much, but no luck. Going commando helps. The underwear isn't trapping the hair near the skin. Not good for modesty tho. This is a major sensory issue for me. Hair may be naturally present down there, but I'm not made to have it.

I find that waxing the bikini area (edges where it would show through) and then neatly trimming the rest works well for me.

:-) I tie them in a knot (or tie them in a bow), then I throw them over my shoulder (like a regimental soldier) ...

... oh, sorry :lol: I was thinking of something else...

All natural, never shaved. I'm Asian, though so it's not bushy or anything and hide neatly under bathing suits. I feel it's already enough trouble to shave my lower legs sometimes.

Mine's pretty bushy, but I am not about to shave it. I'm never wearing anything that would show it and I'm pretty much asexual (and wouldn't want to be touched down there anyway) so I don't know that it really matters.

I trim it down to just stubble. I've noticed once my public region and leg hair grow to a certain length it really starts to hurt.

Why is there no poll option for "Braids"?

Wow, the aspie literal-mindedness hit me really hard on this one. I was thinking "what do you do with your pubes," as in, "what do you do with them if you have a pile of them after shaving or trimming or whatever?" I was like... "throw them away, of course!! !"

I then imagined the poll having an option for people who claimed they save them in jars-- ew ew ew.


I reacted the same, I was thinking "stuffing pillows with them". I know a woman who keeps the hair that falls out of her head and knits with it and now I'm wondering... 8O

One has to wonder if the guys who require their partners to shave also shave their pubic areas, too?

"Require"? Do some guys actually "require" their partners to shave?

It seems to me that if one's partner is willing to go to the trouble, it is only fair to do the same.

Yes, some guys do. I've been on the fringes of a number of conversations in which a few younger married women were at wits end trying to figure out how to not get ingrown hairs, rashes, or follicle infections from shaving. I advised trimming the hair very, very short instead, at least for a while. They looked at me like I was crazy and one insisted her husband would be angry with her if she didn't shave. Another said hers wouldn't have intercourse unless she shaved and admitted that she would sometimes not shave so she wouldn't have to have intercourse. They were members of the Christian Reformed Church who I worked with so maybe it's part of being a submissive wife now?

Shaving of the pubic area has gone completely mainstream and has become the norm with anything else being considered either unclean or a fetish among some in the under thirty set that I associate with. I've even overheard teens gossiping about a girl in their gym class who didn't shave her pubes.

I used to shave on and off but the irritation of it started kicking off lupus rash in the area and lupus rash all over my genital area is both uncomfortable and the opposite of sexy. My partner seems to prefer at least some hair but he says it's completely up to me although he thinks it would be silly to shave if it's going to set off lupus rashes or get infected. I usually keep it trimmed very, very short.

I shave mine. I have dark hair down there, and it also sticks out if I leave it long.
