 @ So what if someone wants to shave or trim to make sexual activity a little easier? It really sucks when my boyfriend stops in the middle of oral to pluck a pube off his tongue, so I trim and shave sometimes to cut down on what falls out. gosh darn you're just as bad as the people who think everyone needs to shave. Shut your trap and deal with the fact that some people don't like body hair. Anyway, I don't think it's anyone's damn concern what I do with my body hair. If I want to let it grow to the point I can braid it all or dip myself in a vat of wax every day it's really not anyone's business to judge it. Personally I shave my pits every week or so, and shave my legs if I'm wearing a skirt or dress (Occasionally just for craps and giggles), and trim the hedges. I do commissions! See my profile for details.

Biologically female here, but in the process of changing
 I personally do not shave. I used to shave both my legs and 'pits because my mother made me, but I only shaved my legs once and NEVER AGAIN. It felt really weard, and afterwards my legs felt naked when I put pants on. I did not like it. However, she made me keep shaving my arpits. I stopped for a while until I got a boyfriend, thinking that ALL MEN MUST HATE ARMPIT HAIR. Foundout he doesn't care, haven't shaved in months. I feel freaking fantastic. And manly too. Heh. (However, I do a little, erm...shubbery trimming because of a certain monthly 'gift')

I've never had any problems about shaving or not, people picking on me because of that or anything. I do shave my armpits, legs and pubes because I like it that way, not because the society thinks its prettier. Also I feel that I sweat more when I'm too lazy to shave the armpit, dunno, it's weird... And pubes, the hair feels so unhygienic, yuck.

 I don't know about you guys, but nothing beats the feeling of climbing into a bed with shaved legs and curling up with a fuzzy blanket. Just sayin'. I used to have trouble with shaving -- I did it because I was expected to, and felt embarrassed otherwise. I shave now because I like how it looks. My legs are also covered in tattoos, so they look a ton better when I'm shaved. I shave my armpits when they get uncomfortable or itchy to me. I'm in a loving relationship, and in order to make sex more comfortable, I do trim and whatnot in certain places. Don't give a love what society thinks of my body hair.

  i'm a female. my ha's just a cosplay. :p sometimes i shave and sometimes i don't. there are times of the year when i honestly can't shave my legs, because i get eczema and then i'll end up tearing scabs off with the razor so my legs are all bloody. not fun. besides, the hair keeps my legs a bit warmer. i have trouble with shaving my pits, as well, because the skin there is super-sensitive and it just loveing hurts to shave there, no matter what i do. i've put up with a lot of crap from people who think that women should have to shave and i'm just sick of it. i feel embarrassed to wear a bathing suit when i don't shave. hell, i don't even wear tank tops when i don't shave, because i'll hear stuff from people -- people i know and people i don't -- and i've heard so much crap in the media about it that i just feel too embarrassed. i don't feel embarrassed because i want to conform, i feel embarrassed because i don't like being the center of attention and people make me that when there's a crowd of people pointing and laughing at me or saying, 'ewww, gross,' just because i have some body hair. i also get a few hairs on my chin, but they don't bother me. when people point them out, though, as if they're weird, i get pissed off. i've only once shaved down there and i didn't like it. it was uncomfortable and just made me feel stupid. it doesn't make sex uncomfortable. i don't think my girlfriend has a problem with any of it and, even if she did, i don't care. it's my hair and i'll be the one to decide what i do with it. nobody should dress/act/shave/look/whatever a certain way just because their s.o. likes it. do what you want. i really hope that i can someday just say, 'love it,' about the morons who make me feel like crap about my body hair (this includes both my family and my girlfriend's family), because i don't really give a crap what idiots think, i just feel uncomfortable and upset when i'm made into the center of attention and people are pointing at me and making comments. it doesn't help that i can't escape this crap at my house because anything 'out of the ordinary' is seen as bad here and my parents make fun of me for it. even something like me liking pokémon is laughable to them, because, 'no other adult your age likes it!'  ;;at my girlfriend's house, it's no better. her dad likes to state his opinion, but he doesn't like debating it, so, if you're responding to something he's said, he just says he doesn't want to talk about it. well, then why did you bring it up in the first place? meh, yeah, i've had enough of this kind of thinking, so, love it, i'll shave if i want to and, if i don't/can't, oh well. everyone will just have to shut the love up about it. @ wtf is wrong with your brain? 'blowjobs'? on a female? also, no, nobody should give a crap what the media/idiots say. if someone wants to trim, it's not 'ew.' also, nobody cares what your mom is into. * * * * * * I saw the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time.

i never really understood the whole "do you like to look like a 6 year old vagina" argument against shaving. im a guy and i have never seen the vagina of a little girl, so when i see a shaved vagina on an older woman that is exactly what i see. a vagina with the hair shaved away, i dont see prepubescent lady parts.
people should do with their bodies what they please. join #stijn |

I shave most off. Legs don't bother me as much because my hairs there aren't very noticeable, so that's just when I feel like it. When everyone started getting it, it was quite a pride to have a bush - until everyone had it, then it had to come off. I used to just trim down there, but got humiliated in the showers at gym by the other shaved girls. It was .. not pleasant. Now I shave for myself and occasionally if I have visitors. I've ALWAYS shaved my pits though, as I've always hated the thought of getting hairs there. duckie - tumblr - dA

I personally find body hair revolting :/ maybe it's just me but I feel as if one day I'll fall into someone's hairy armpit and there'll be like sweat right there and stuff o.o but that's just my opinion. I would prefer everyone to shave, but hey, I can't force people to so I'll just quietly shave my legs and feel happy about it o3o

I like to shave all the hair that isn't on top of my head. I don't know society's standards are pretty much loveed. The only hair that kind of irks me is leg hair. On anyone. I also think the "guys should not shave" rule is bullcrap.

If you have it and you want it, keep it. If you have it and you don't want it, get rid of it. If you think it's attractive, awesome more for you. If you don't think it's attractive, well, it's not your body. I just think that it's stupid to tell someone they need to shave. If they don't want to, they don't have too. However, if someone doesn't find it attractive, that's their opinion.

 @ i don't like body hair. i'm disgusted by it... on me. i hate the way it feels. if i felt confident enough with myself, i'd shave off my head hair and eyebrows, too, because they disgust me sometimes, too. but on other people? i don't really care. but i'm equally grossed out by male body hair and female body hair... both are gross and they need to get shaved before they'll be doing anything with me. it's just disgusting and that's not ~*~da media lulz~*~, that's my own formed opinion because i'm not a dumbass that needs to be vehemently anti-media or a media sheep.

 I personally like it when it is shaved. I just like it more, my mother never did it though s i think it is completely your own decision. However i find people who don't trim it at all a bit revolting because most people who i know of that do so tend to stink. (idk maybe i just know the wrong people that don;t shower or whatever) @ jun why is 'for my man' not a good argument? i shave my vagina for him too. When i didn't knew him i would just trim it since it was easier. He likes it shaved however so I do it. Just like he shaves because i like it. Hell once to surprise me he got his buttocks and lower back waxed (i do not want to know how much that hurt) just because i like his ass I thought it was very sweet of him and i was very happy with it as well. (baby skin soft, loved it!)Don't get me wrong, we simply said to each other i like it better this way and it is certainly not like a break up thing if either one of us simply stopped but it makes our sex life better since we like this better.

    Gotta hatch `em all!Speaking as someone who has a phobia of razors, Nair is my best friend ever in this regard. However, I do agree that it's just one more thing for people to target you over. Granted I burn so easily that i cover up when i go outside anyway so nobody sees my hairy legs. I call myself an intelligent and independent woman. That means whenever some jerk tries to shove something on me, i shove right back. Which they really don't like. XD (pardon my language in the following examples) I'm going to hell because I'm an atheist? See you there, butthead! I should shave myself because I look hairy? Guess what? I'm smart enough not to give a flying love what YOU want! I need to dress more like a lady? Define "lady" in a way that has nothing to do with dresses, pantyhose or high heels and then maybe we can talk. Otherwise, go back to your archaic pre-50's era and cry like the idiot you are. The 50's are dead. Anyway, back on target. I think part of it is rooted in the human nature to target and attack anyone who doesn't fit the societal norm. It doesn't matter whether it's sexuality, skin color, religion, shaving styles (or lack there of) or even dumb crap like needing glasses or having ears that stick out more than most other people. The point is, it's almost human nature to find differences and find something to hate about it. Therefore, they feel the need to pressure you to be more "normal" or else turn the coin an entirely new direction and attack you for it and drive you out of the herd because you are dangerous in some obscure, prehistoric, long ago, evolved way.

 @SkeletonKey As a woman, I wish I felt less pressure from society to shave. I don't mind shaving my legs every couple days in the summer, but shaving my arm pits can be a real hassle. I have sensitive skin.  At the temple, there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. |

I have always been curious about this myself. I am allergic to razors so have to use creams to remove hair. I hate shaving, but I constantly shave my armpits, my legs I leave in the winter, and shave in the summer and spring only if I'm wearing skirts or shorts. My boyfriend is quite alright with this and comfortable with it, and it hasn't affected our sex life at all. Even in the beginning.
When I was back in school, I dated two guys who thought it was disgusting that I didn't shave everything all the time. Which made me have to be somebody I wasn't, as they weren't happy with me at all. Once was upset that I wasn't blond (I'm a red head) and that my boobs weren't bigger. The other well he just thought hair was gross, and even hated how hairy his own body was. Which is why neither of those relationships lasted. Ever since then I had been questioning just what was proper for hair removal. If hairy was acceptable or not. This thread has revealed that I'm not the only one that doesn't shave constantly if at all. In my personal opinion, I think it should be whatever makes you feel comfortable, not what society demands. I learned that lesson after I grew up a little, and learned that you have to do what makes you, you. Not what society wants you to be. Because if we all became what society wanted, we wouldn't be individuals with our own minds to think and act of our own will. Life would be very boring then.

I don't shave my legs. I'm half arab so I'm pretty hairy. I don't live in an arab country though. I sometimes think maybe I should shave but it's a continuous process once started so I don't bother.
I wear a skirt in public and I don't really care what they think. We are all free to do whatever we want as long as we're not bother anyone.   You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling --- ♥ { CW Shop | CW Ping Group | DA | CIs by Katts}

I really wish people didn't pressure teens (and especially preteens) into shaving. : / Especially if they're much younger than sixteen or so, since as far as I know, this is when some boys have to start shaving a little? Perhaps even that's a bit premature though. In any case, it's just another example of how idiotic standards are imposed on girls at too young an age and in this case, I find it rather contradictory. People don't like young girls to show too much skin or generally look "sexy", and yet the pressure begins in elementary school for them to look as desirable as they can. Personally, I would like to see guys shave more than girls. |D I don't think a lot of girls "need" it nearly as much. Most guys sweat more naturally, meaning more hair will keep them hotter and sometimes smellier and women don't really get the absolute carpets of body hair that some men get... everywhere. Sometimes even on their upper arms. Plus it's thick and long and when it gets on my soap I can't really tell the difference between normal body hair and pubic hair and then I want to cry. I was a natural blonde for years, and my body hair has always reflected that. You can't really see most of it unless you're sitting right beside me, but regardless I shave or wax year-round in the usual places that women do as a personal preference. -shrug- I don't date/have sex and it's extremely rare that anyone ever sees my legs or armpits, so it's for my benefit alone.

I started shaving not because I was forced to, or made to believe I had to, but because it was itchy. My boyfriend says, "It's itchy because you shave it!" Except I started shaving because I was tired of being itchy. My armpits are super sensitive, hair makes them itchier, so I'd rather cringe through shaving them once every two days than suffer with them itching all the time. The feeling of my fuzzy legs rubbing against each other sets my teeth on edge, so I shave them. Pubic hair getting caught on elastics, in fabric, and sticking out everywhere, on top of the general itching, was what caused me to finally start shaving there 5 years ago.
I'm SO HAPPY I started shaving. At first, I was terrified of razors, and stubborn. I didn't want to do anything "expected" of me. But I don't give a crap if people do or don't shave. I love my boyfriend's face unshaven. I didn't care when he decided he needed to landscape (IfyaknowwhatImean) or when he decided to give up. I love his fuzzy tummy and little patch of lower-back hair. The only hairs I have a problem with is the white one that grows out of the middle of his forehead (Wut) and the strays along his shoulder blades, which are stiff and jarring to the touch. The only time I care about anyone elses body hair is when they're trying to sell me something. Advertising a shirt? Please don't show off your armpit hair. Advertising a lovely skirt? Please cover your leg hair. It is considered socially unacceptable. I don't even mean for you to shave. Wear some leggings or hose, or keep your arms lowered: ta-da! Appeal to the masses!

 Double-standards, yo.Men are fine being doused in hair from head to toe, though women are to be bare completely - for the most part. I'm only thinking of the USA society, though. I personally find excessive hair on man or woman to be unattractive and gross I suppose, but that's another story. I can't even stand my own hair being all over my face, but I like the look of it and therefore am all right with it. Issues such as whether having body hair or not are silly. Why does society get to define such a petty matter? If someone wants to wander about unshaven, let them. There's nothing truly wrong with that, as you've mentioned in your original post. People try to dictate the most ridiculous things. I just don't understand it. @SkeletonKey

However, I absolutely hate pubic/armpit/weirdly located hair, especially if we talk about thick 1 cm body hair of longer. I keep those parts where such hair grow shaved/epilated, even if nobody is going to see it. Hairless genitalia = love YEAH. It doesn't mean that I will hate anybody just because they have this hair on their bodies, though. And of course I would never force anyone to shave it if they don't want (like I will never let anybody force me into shaving/not shaving certain parts of my body). Though, regarding sexual desire, I would find them to be less attractive to me than they could possibly be, but that's okay, we all have flaws.

Lol, all you ladies complaining about having to shave are crazy and have no idea what you're talking about.
If I don't shave my body hair for a while, my naked body GROWS ITS OWN PERSONAL SWEATER. If you don't shave for just as long it's probably not even very noticeable by the time I look like a damn ape xD And yeah, as for those saying it's a double-standard, it isn't. There is an equal, albeit opposite stigma against men shaving--it's seen as effeminate, or(not being homophobic, just stating a fact) gay. I don't care that some of my friends make fun of me for shaving my legs and crap, I look awesome without all that hair and that's how I like it. Plus I find it feels much better to be entangled with someone else(if you catch my drift) when there is little to no body hair involved. And my girlfriend agrees that I look better and feel better without it, so yeah, sweet. In my opinion my girlfriend is smoking hot, and I like to do anything I can to make sure she feels the same about me. Now when I take off my shirt, instead of seeing another wooly shirt, everyone gets to see my smexy abs/pecs, which probably gives me more motivation to keep myself in good shape. Feels good, man. Also, I train BJJ(that's jiu-jitsu, buttheads) and no one likes to roll with an ape. Gotta' have a little decency in that regard, rolling with an ape is almost as bad as rolling with someone who isn't wearing a cup. No one wants your balls in their face and no one wants to have to grab a handful of body hair while trying to escape a submission. Some people just wear a shirt, but that sucks... why am I going to train jiu-jitsu if I don't get to rub my naked body against theirs? Lol, sk, butforrealtho, a shirt provides a lot more friction than sweaty skin, making it easier to lock in some submissions/maintain some positions.

For other people, though, I don't mind at all if people aren't shaved. It's a personal choice. Unfortunately a lot of people who I come across who don't shave really don't have the best hygiene and they do have quite a bit more body odor, but again, that varies from individual to individual. |

I personally find body hair gross on girls AND dudes, but if they don't want to shave/wax, that's fine. I won't be a total dog and tell them to change that, it's not my decision and it doesn't mean a lot to me what they do or don't do. It just means I'll probably won't be getting down on them since I find it unattractive lol Besides clean hairless skin feels soooooo good Last Edit by:

I understand the appeal of shaving, I think that it is nicer visual in some ways, but I don't like doing it. I shave my legs in the summer since it gets super hot where I am. So it's nice to be able to put shorts on without feeling like I'm wearing fuzzy boots. And sometimes pits, as they get too long, and my arms oddly enough. I was teased about my arms for a long time in primary and middle schools. I did an experiment for about a year where I only shaved one arm. You know how many people noticed? None. No one. Not in a year. I think a lot of the time it can be easy to think people are paying more attention than they really are. That has certainly been the case for me anyway.

I don't have a source to hand, but I remember hearing somewhere that the original reason shaving became a thing for women, was because razor companies wanted to sell more than just for dude's faces. So they campaigned advertising all over the place, touting smooth legs and underarms as better, and eventually it just kind of slipped into the general consciousness. Personally... I'm lazy. >_> Underarms yes -- I was a dancer, old habits die hard -- but I don't want to spend 10-30, maybe 40 minutes shaving everything, head to toe, every day. Not to mention I managed to quite literally rip a strip of skin off my ankle, once; razors ain't comin' anywhere near my nethers. I'm kind of bad at being a pretty lady by modern standards. Kinda feels like there's nothing these days that other people won't tell you how to do, 'cause it offends them what you do with yourself. :/

The only time I've ever gotten on someone's case about shaving was a girl I worked with for the last few summers. But then again, we got on her case for a lot of things, because she also wouldn't wash her hands after using the bathroom or wash her hair (because she hated touching it, and had never been told what shampoo was for). So I guess in her case shaving was more just trying to get her to be more hygienic. Personally, I get really skeeved out by body hair, especially my own. There was a period of time where I did shave my arms, and even though my hair is very fair and fine, I even shaved my thighs and stomach. I have gotten better about dealing with my body hair issues (dated a German guy for three years who basically wore a rug on his chest and back, I kind of had to), though I still overpluck my eyebrows unintentionally... And I still shave my pits whenever I shower, and shave my legs whenever I have time/feel like it. As for other people, they can do what they want with their body. I'll do a double take if I see a girl with unshaved armpits, just because it's not a common thing to see, but as long as it's trimmed/groomed, it doesn't bother me. Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think I was ever "forced" into shaving. I think I was about 12 or 13 and my neighbor and I were playing on my swingset, and after I had gone across the monkey bars (wearing a tanktop), she asked if I'd ever thought about shaving. My pit hair had to have been close to an inch long at that point, but I had never even really noticed it until she said that. I thought about it for a while and then decided to try shaving. My parents never said anything about it before or after. But I guess that comes with living in a very hippie-ish, accepting community. My parents only started hinting that my brother should start using deodorant a year or two ago, and he's 19 (and by hinting, I mean they bought a tube of it and left it in the communal bathroom hoping he would find it).

I agree with you! I do shave my legs and armpits, but it's a personal choice. I do it because I want to. You don't do it because you don't want to. I think it's disgusting that people are bugging you about it. Like you said, as long as you're bathing properly it's not a health issue so it's nobody's business but yours and (perhaps) your sexual partners. I think there's a lot of pressure on women to shave, and these days, that means ALL hair not on the scalp. That's creepy to me, when people do that I think they look prepubescent. But see, it's not MY choice. If that's what THEY want then that's what THEY can do. I'm annoyed when people don't understand that, because it's like, I'm giving you this respect, but you can't give me that same respect? It's my body, it's my choice, just like it's your body it's your choice. Oh well, I guess we can't change everyone. I hope things are going better/will get better for those of you getting picked on for shaving/not shaving!

Ultimately a personal issue and one between partners.
I personally like shaving. I like the feel of silky smooth skin on clothes, and I like the feel of it under my hands, so I personally keep pretty hair free. In partners I like hair-free as well for exactly the same reasons listed above. I must admit, I do let partners know my preference, and so far haven't had any issues in them keeping nice and tidy and shaved. That said, if one of my partners had a really big issue with it, or didn't want to, then I would respect their choices. But so far, I have found that most people these days are much more meticulous about body hair as a lot of people find it more aesthetically pleasing and hygiene-friendly.
