I’m easy. Shaved? Fine. Neatly trimmed? OK. Full bush (under control)? Works for me. It’s kind of like, “Here are the keys to a sports car…does it matter if it’s blue with fabric seats, or red with a leather interior?” No, as long as I have a good time driving it.
If you’re going to shave completely, girls, keep up with it, especially if you anticipate a good time. Like malkavia mentioned with getting head, don’t just concentrate on the clit, right? I’m all for all-around licking, sucking, and nuzzling, but razor stubble is a little irritating. If you don’t like rough razor stubble on a guy’s face, well, most of us don’t like it down there, either.
Some guys do have a hairy fetish, but a lot of us don’t like a forest (or a treasure trail, for that matter). It all depends on the guy.
As with anything sexual, ask. Talk, find out what he (or she!) likes, and go from there. Guys are very visual, and will get very turned on by their own particular thing, be it a shaved twat or a bushy one. For casual sex, styling is overlooked, but once you’re in a relationship, it’s important for you both to discuss your likes and dislikes.
To go back to my somewhat lame sports car analogy, I really don’t mind what color my car is, but it better be clean!!! Not to be too graphic here, but…aw, screw it, it’s too late for that…
I’ve had times where everything’s going nice, we’re both getting worked up, I start to slowly descend, kissing, licking, taking my time and being attentive, all that good stuff…I start to zero in on my target, and it smells like rubber or bad sweat!!! Blecchhhhh! That is truly a turn-off. And mind you, I don’t go for skanks. I’m talking about girls who dress nice, and shower, and wear a fragrance, but who just may not know how to properly clean down there.
Now, lots of guys like to joke about girls who smell like fish, but I got news for you, guys: we’re no bed of roses when we’re sweaty either. (this, of course, coming from conversations with female friends!). And I’ll admit it - out of curiousity after a good exercise workout, I’ve swiped my hand in my crotch and smelled it, and it stinks! Male or female, we all sweat, though granted, you ladies do have more nooks and crannies, but either way, we should all bear this in mind if we’ve got intimate plans going. It’s only considerate, and isn’t that part of what love is all about?
OK, so this has turned into a short story here. Sorry. I’ll reiterate two important points and then be on my way:
Several people in this thread (and in others) have mentioned the fact that they talk to friends of the opposite sex. This is key. If you can find a friend or two who will talk, please do it. It’s an invaluable way to learn or get different opinions without the hangups of actual sex involved.
When you are with that someone special, talk with them! Find out what they like, tell them what you like. Having sex with someone who’s not doing something right, and your not saying anything, isn’t fair to either one of you. If they can’t handle a gentle critique, they’re probably not worth being with in the first place.
