May I add that the first time it happened, I was extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed it. ---

Do not yank in little jerks. Accompany with phrases like “Do you like that?! I’m going to fuck you hard!” Another vote for “Best answer”. I will add that pulling directly on my ponytail or pigtails as well as telling me what a good little (expletive deleted) I am is also wholly acceptable. ---

Do not yank in little jerks. Accompany with phrases like “Do you like that?! I’m going to fuck you hard!” Couldn’t have said it better myself. Nothing enhances doggie better than a well executed hair pull. I do like to be tied up as well, but I like to be on my back for that. How’s that for TMI? ---

Do not yank in little jerks. I’ll fifth (sixth? seventh? whatever) this, and add to it. You know how on occasion, when kissing, the guy slides his hand up the nape of your neck til his hand is sort of cradling your head and his fingers are in your hair? Now, close fingers, pull gently but firmly back. Nibble on neck… etc. You can even steer me to the bed this way. 😃 ---

You know what’s weird? I’ve never had my hair pulled in a sexual context. Ever, that I can remember. And I have really long, thick hair. I’ll have to have my husband try it and get back to you. ---

I love it. It can even be pulled quite hard, with a force that would probably be quite painful in other people. I’ve got rapunzel-thick hair, so the sensation on a scalp which is normally quite insulated from all sensation is really amazing. ---

Nope. Don’t like being biten or hit either. ---

If I pulled my wife’s hair she would scream, yell “Why the hell did you do that?”, and never have sex with me again. She gets mad when I accidentally bump into her when we’re moving around. Purposefully pulling her hair would be grounds for the sexual death penalty. ---

The current wife\*\*y \*\*does not like it at all, and does not like being tied up. The previous wifey liked it much, and liked being tied up. ---

In my experience, there is definitely a cultural aspect to whether women enjoy hair-pulling. Women of Latin origin that I’ve encountered seem most likely to request having their hair pulled. ---

Wow, she seems like she overreacts to things quite a bit. No offense or disrespect intended. ---

> [@Agent\_Foxtrot](#): > > Wow, she seems like she overreacts to things quite a bit. No offense or disrespect intended. None taken. Her mother, upon hearing the news that I had asked her daughter to marry me, said “She’s got a terrible temper. God bless you.” I like her, temper and all. ---

> [@scout1222](#): > > Interesting - I wonder how many off us who’ve posted in this thread are. I’m not. I just asked a friend of mine at work who is a total male slut about his observations regarding culture and hair pulling. Here is his hierarchy from those who most prefer hair-pulling down to those who least enjoy it: 1. Latinas (very common) 2. European Americans (less common) 3. Asians (improbable) 4. African Americans (Don’t fuck with the hair!) YMMV ---
