> [@scootergirl](#): > > I have a woman friend who feels as you do and thinks that men who like shaved private parts (on women) are creepy and only do because they are fantasizing of being with a very young girl – Wrong! I shave **everything** on a regular basis… every last pubic hair and my boyfriend loves it, as do I. It is a turn on for both of us and it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to feel like a little girl - I’m quite comfortable being a woman and with my sexuality. If he shaved, I would not feel like I was with a “little boy” …he is all man, and hair or lack there of, has nothing to do with it. I think nothing of the kind of men who like shaved women, if that is their preference so be it. I know plenty of men who do prefer their women bald and I don’t think they are perverts. I don’t read things into the preferences of other people. Capt asked what women think, I told him. I wasn’t aware that anyone has to approve of my choice. ---

I > [@sahirrnee](#): > > Have I said something to offend you? Of course not! What in my response gave u that impression. I am simply making a point that shaving one’s pubic hair, in and of itself, isn’t something that makes one look or seem like a “little child”. ---

Watch out for ingrown hairs as it grows back. Although you said it doesn’t really curl so that might not be much of a problem. ---

A ‘groomed’ man in that way is totally obvious and as bad as even eyebrows. And please don’t wax. ---

Let your pubes grow back and then get them permed 80’s style. You could look as good as [this between your legs.](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hlrAC_92oBA/SzkR_HpRwOI/AAAAAAAADE4/-gKJhajSlBU/s1600/2728715806_590a076d4b_o.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/2009_12_01_archive.html&h=1176&w=900&sz=227&tbnid=MXbm_HBa4h1EzM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=72&prev=/search%3Fq%3D80's%2Bperm%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=80's+perm&usg=__uZbqoGsBgQ1hFfyqjZ4LqDsZiqQ=&docid=t1H9Z13oxrHQbM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UDHOULKrNuen0AGiiIHgDg&ved=0CDoQ9QEwAw&dur=1856) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-of-the-dope-man-needs-grooming-advice-tmi/644141.md?page=1)
