Hairy question (and poll) ....;)

I voted for the -* Don't give it much thought - if I can be bothered, it's tidy.
Im so busy with 5 kids and house work, that area is kinda the last place that gets a tidy up, iykwim, lol. It is always the first place to get a clean when in the shower, everynow and then it might get a wax or a shave, but nothing fancy.
I dont think hubby really cares either.

OMG I'm thanking my lucky stars that I'm the only woman my DH has ever "known" because I've never really had to bother about it! I would be *mortified* to discover by process of getting intimate with a new man that men have an expectation of hairlessness?

I have suffered horrible skin irritation every time I shave/trim/use creams - so I therefore mostly don't bother. Would love to get the whole area tidied permanently via laser removal but first I would have to get past a) fear of someone seeing my inner thighs and b) horrible embarrassment over how fat I am and c) embarrassment over someone seeing how much or how little of your bits they need to see to get the job done. So until that day comes, it's ala naturel for this yeti woman.

Lol my DH watches that much porn that it wouldn't matter whether I was the first or the fiftieth, I think he'd expect it anyway because every other va-jay-jay he's seen has been hairless!!
Although, having seen a few of thos videos myself, those girls really need to learn what 'exfoliate' means - some have the nastiest shaving rash, it's so uncomfortable to look at!!

Edit: I wonder if the trend towards hairlessness is geared more toward a certain age group?? My mother is still entirely horrified that I get rid of it all, I remember her asking me after watching me give birth if the doctors still insisted on giving things a tidy-up, and I told her I'd done it myself the day before I was admitted to hospital... she was like, 'AND YOU DO THIS OFTEN?!'
And, from talking to friends, I get the idea that most of the under-30 (and a fair few over) crowd keeps things pretty tidy, to certain degrees (eg some of my friends have landing strips, others take every little thing off, and some go to the length of taking off any that's hiding in their bum-crack etc)...

lol well i have shaved mine since i was 18 and i do it nearly every day,i hate hair on myself especially the vaj..jay
if you use a good razor with 3 blades it works really well,i dont get any sort of rash maybe cause ive been doing it so long lol..
i also make dh shave and he dosent get itcty now but he use to and it was so funny to watch im try and scratch on the sly
i have never WAXED ...NO WAY !!(ouch )

If I can be bother I will tidy up. Either trim with scissors, shave or wax depending on how much I can be bothered. When I wax I get XX, so a landing strip.

OK, professing total ignorance here - all the porn chicks are totally hairless?? Is that the reason men find it exciting? Cos it's like having his very own porn star at home?? What about the porn star dudes? Are they all hairless down there too? Cos I must confess I am *surprised* by all the accounts of hairless DHs. I thought men were meant to be hairy...??

Mary Mary Mary!!
What DID you do for your hens night? lol
Most of the porn I have seen if it is post 1995, the chicks are all pretty much hairless.
If it is pre1995, particularly the good vintage 1970s stuff lol they are wild beasts! lol

I personally like to be somewhere inbetween. I have very irritable skin, and after having a wax for the first time for the wedding, I would NEVER do it again. Even using most creams will give me a shocking reaction. I used to shave. That just got annoying cos I have a lot of think coarse hair. (sorry TMI....but the whole thread waaaay TMI! lol)

Oh and yes, every stripper male porn star I have ever seen has been shaved or completely waxed. Some only have a bikini job, but most are bald as badgers. They say it makes it look bigger and more prominent. I just laugh when I think about how painful it must be to get your sack waxed! pmsl

From what I've seen, the vast majority these days are... a few have a little landing strip or a tiny patch at the top of the 'crack', kwim, but yeah, for the most part it's all off... And yeah, most of the boys in the movies take the majority (or all) off as well - I too am a bit surprised that boys keeping it tidy seems to be so widespread these days, as other posters have said they're convinced it makes them 'look bigger' (they're just watching too many stoner movies hahaha, Harold and Kumar I blame you!!).
A bit OT but I personally don't like hairy men hahaha, DH is a tall lanky thing with just a tiny bit of chest hair and a little trail from bellybutton to below the belt, just perfect hahaha, and he's a ginger so you can barely see it - I could never be with a dark-haired, bear-like fella!! lol
