Leg stubble? No, it doesn’t bother me. Sleeping with a woman who has leg stubble who then insists on rasping her sandpaper legs all over me — well, let’s just say that’s a problem I’d like to have at this point, but I’d much rather have the problem of a woman with silky smooth legs doing the same thing. 
It’s been said before on this thread, but for me it isn’t a major turn off but freshly shaven legs are definitely a turn on. Mrs. Theater has great legs and I just love the way they feel when they’re all silky smooth just after a shave and shower.
I will never, ever complain again when they get stubbly, however. About a year ago I made what I thought was a fairly innocent comment about how I wish she’d shave a little more often. This started a major argument that included a long and detailed explanation of how much she hates to shave her legs, how much extra time it takes in the shower, how hard it is to do it without getting nicked, etc. She then suggested that if I thought it was so important I should try shaving mine and stormed out of the room.
In an effort to make up to her by totally cracking her up, I actually got up early the following morning, got in the shower and shaved my extremely hairy legs until they were baby butt smooth (except for the 101 places that I cut myself in the process).
I paraded into the bedroom wearing just my boxers and announced myself. After she managed to get back up off the floor where she had fallen into a heap laughing she just looked at me and said “Told ya so”. I promised to never hassle her about it again.
You can get electric hair pullers that are a lot more effective than shaving.
They work like waxing without the wax
A g/f of mine called them ‘Saders’ after sadism.
As far as I am concerned, I am the only one who should have long black hairs on legs in the household. I don’t mind blond leg hair (intrigueingly a lass I know bleaches hers, rather neat) but long black hairs or a 5 O’Clock stubble … not ideal.
As for the equatorial bit, well let that get too long and it can be as painful as sand on a beach - ever cut cheese with a cheese wire ?
My husband hates stubble. So while I wax, I also shave every few days until he goes away long enough that I can grow it out for waxing. I’m not particularly hairy, it’s just that waxing breaks a lot of hair before it can be ripped out by the roots. I’m more diligent about the “bikini area” IYKWIM.
I’m lucky enough to stay home with the kids while he works so if he wants my pubic hair dyed green and shaved into a heart, I’d be more than happy to oblige. His thinking I take the time for him is a lot more important than my laziness. And I AM lazy. If he was indifferent, I’d be a hairy, lazy beast.
I have no idea how women take so much time and get so many cuts when they shave their legs; I shave mine, ankle to hip, in about three minutes with no cuts. One wonders if the reason for all the trauma is a lack of expertise or a lack of will.
