Shaved & baby smooth. But- I won’t ask for it, although I compliment it when I get it. After all- it is HER business. ---

In _Tropic of Cancer_ Henry Miller wrote > [@](#): > > "The other night I took her on – out of pity – and what do you think the crazy bitch had done to herself? She had shaved it clean … not a speck of hair on it! Did you ever have a woman who shaved her twat? It’s repulsive, ain’t it? And it’s funny, too. Sort of mad like. It doesn’t look like a twat any more: it’s like a dead clam or something.” He describes to me how, his curiosity aroused, he got out of bed and searched for his flashlight. “I made her hold it open and I trained the flashlight on it. You should have seen me … it was comical. I got so worked up about it that I forgot all about her. I never in my life looked at a cunt so seriously. You’d imagine I’d never seen one before. And the more I looked at it the less interesting it became. It only goes to show that there’s nothing to it after all, especially when it’s shaved. It’s the hair that makes it mysterious. That’s why a statue leaves you cold. Only once I saw a real cunt on a statue – that was by Rodin. You ought to see it some time … she has her legs spread wide apart … I don’t think there was any head on it. Just a cunt you might say. Jesus, it looked ghastly. My sentiments exactly. 😃 ---

I’m very happy with trimmed on my Lady, though the few times that she has indulged my curiosity about shaving it, it’s been very nice. The whole ‘growing back’ thing is usually not so good…though I do try to offset it by being more attentive in certain ways (read: she doesn’t see my face for a week). But my darling has told me that she’s going to get a Brazilian next week! yay for me! ---

Shaved feels more fun and I’ve been told that the sensation is greatly enhanced for her. However, it’s also a hassle for her, so that reduced my like of it. So I’m a soft-hearted git… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tikster \* > **Uh, shaving lips? I can only speak from personal experience, but women have hair on their lips? (and I am a woman…).** Oh, my yes. The first woman I made love to was of French extraction, very fair, and very brunette. I was older than usual for my first time, and she was older than I, 28, so she was definitely a mature woman, not a slip of a girl of 16 or 18. Having said that, she was definitely on the hirsuite end of the feminine sex. She had wispy little sideburns and, when we were getting heavily into the petting stages, I found about a dozen hairs at the borders of her areolae. A couple sessions later when we were really going to Do It, I slipped off her panties and was astonished at the lushness of the pubic hair on her mound. She wasn’t much for swimming so she had never, ever trimmed anything, and it continued unabated between her legs and even a little bit onto her thighs. Even that far down it was so thick I had to search a bit before I found where she, hmm, parted. Mind you, there was nothing masculine about this; she was quite female, as we both proved a few minutes later, but where she had hair, boy did she have hair. Nobody I’ve met subsequently has come even close. DD [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-do-you-want-it-shaved/184689.md?page=3)
