How could this thread not be TMI? You’re asking women what their preference is in grooming of pubic hair, after all.
I keep things trimmed with an electric shaver, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. It’s my own preference that I started a few years ago (I wasn’t even seeing anyone at the time). It makes me feel sexier, and the general area is more sensitive as well, since there’s more skin exposed.
I don’t use a regular razor, and I would never, ever wax. Not in a million years. OW! My skin is way too sensitive.
And yeah, there’s some old links about - I know I’ve talked about this before. It’s kind of a self-selecting thing, though - I thnk women who don’t do anything are less likely to post.
I’ve shaved all of it off twice… and that skin is not happy with that little development I’m afraid. So keeping it nakie is not really an option. Oh and does it ever itch when it grows back in!
So I’ve compromised to keeping things trimmed…
Especially since all the really neat lingere kind of requires it ya know?
Ok, maybe this is a little too offensive for MPSIMS, but in Roger’s Profanisaurus (been mentioned before on the SDMB, by the makers of Viz magazine), instead of a “little hitler”, it has:
*Clitler n *: A fashionable clitoral moustache, as seen on the women of porn who leave a daft little tuft. A toothbrush muff
I’m very sorry. Actually, I’m not, but if I say it, it makes me sound like a better person…
Interesting. I thought that the pubic hair would make the area more sensitive, as its more receptive to gentle contact… and it sort of picks up touching more easily. I don’t think I could have explained that any worse… but maybe you get what I mean.

My gf doesn’t trim (AFAIK), and she sometimes wears sexy lingerie. Now that I’ve thought about it… maybe she does trim?! Do most women do a little trimming every now and then?
I trim, but there is no way I’m shaving off that area. I’m pretty clumsy, and have cut my knees and ankles quite a bit. I can’t imagine a razor cut on the naughty bits!
samarm, who knows - it may be different from person to person - different strokes for different folks, as they say. I just know that when I started keeping things closely trimmed it, things went from “Oh, thats kinda nice” to “WOOOOO!”
Guin, I can see the logistical difficulty that a full shave would cause. However, if you have a partner willing to do the job, then the shave could suddenly become very interesting.
I just wish my partner was less prude about discussing this kind of thing…
Samarm, my husband always want to help in that department too… while I wouldn’t mind him helping with trimmers… I’ve seen the results when he shaves his face and he is not getting anywhere near there with a razor!:eek:
Good luck getting the lady friend to open up about these things.
Its a strange thing. She doesn’t really like talking about that area, but she has no problem discussing sex in general and other matters. She will sometimes mention that we had sex, in front of close friends. I just sit there with a red face.
(nearly forgot to add a comma to the penultimate sentence… ha ha!).
I have a toddler and I’m pregnant… there’s no hiding that we had sex
I didn’t mean to put that pun in there samarm… honest!!!
I won’t mention what I’ve discussed with close friends… makes the stuff I’ve admitted to here on the boards seem positively G-Rated But where else are you going to get some objective feedback on something neither of you have done before?
