Pubic Hair is very important for Braile Gynocology. ---

> [@Jonathan Chance](#): > > Wimp. I once did it with my swiss-army knife. Hah! I use a broken bottle to trim _my_ PH, maybe a lighter if there are special circumstances (sp?). Wimp. When I was a young man I had to walk a mile to school each day, in snow twelve fathoms and twain deep. In those days we didn’t have trousers so if it wasn’t for my precious PH my scrotum would have been severly scratched and raw at the end of the walk. Not to mention cold. Please don’t mention cold. ---

I hate pubic hair. I shave completely, (I’m a girl) and love it. He at least trims. I’d love it if he shaved, but I realize the stubble problem so it’s enough to me that he keeps it neat and manageable. Especially since they came up with that new Infinity razor, which has its own lather pre-attached. It’s the coolest thing, and means I can even shave pubic hair in the shower. ---

Emmmm, I’m probably going to regret asking this, but where were you shaving it BEFORE you got this razor??? 😕 ---

Neither me or my husband are very hairy, and we don’t shave or trim. I don’t even shave my legs, there’s nothing there! I do shave under my arms occasionally, but it takes like two months to even see any fuzz. As far as ph in the teeth or throat after oral, I tend to notice it a lot more when he just got out of the shower. Loose hairs all over the place. I just wipe them off and keep on going! ---

> [@noname](#): > > …or legs. Unshaven legs would be sexy only to a neanderthal. I’ve seen men on this board say they like unshaven women. What’s so sexy about leg hair on MEN, anyway? That being said, I shave my legs because I’d be Gorilla Woman if I didn’t, and I’d have to be very throughly convinced by an SO that he liked them that way, living in the disgusting climate I live in where shorts are more or less required. (Yes, I shave the pits as well, but that seems a lot more logical than the legs. I don’t mind them.) I hate shaving enough, there’s no way I’d start shaving ANOTHER place on my body. Especially not one that requires constant upkeep. ---

> [@Yakkette](#): > > Emmmm, I’m probably going to regret asking this, but where were you shaving it BEFORE you got this razor??? 😕 No, you won’t regret asking it. It’s nothing like that. When I said “in the shower”, I meant “as well as my legs / armpits”. I always used a plastic disposable thing for the rest of my body, but…my pubic hair is…well, embarrassingly enough, curly. (So is the hair on my head, by the way). So those plastic things would just not cut it. TMI maybe, but they’d snag in the curls, short as they were. The Infinity doesn’t, since it constantly self-lathers! Better? I sound like an advert, don’t I? ---

The Infinity doesn’t, since it constantly self-lathers! Damn it, I still didn’t make it clear. I used to use an electric razor for my pubic hair. Electric razor + shower = bad! Whew. I could use a nap. ---

> [@whiterabbit](#): > > I’ve seen men on this board say they like unshaven women. What’s so sexy about leg hair on MEN, anyway? Youre the woman, you tell me!! MY guess: its the primodial urge in women, to select the manliest mate for protecting their offspring, one who can protect. An unshaven leg on a man denotes that he doesnt have time for such friviloties like shaving legs. He is more interested in going out their and breaking a few skullsthat threaten his family. Again, its just my guess. Another guess: Women just prefer hairy men, cos they are cheaper than the bear rugs. Again. my guess. ---

> [@Willander](#): > > Pubic hair…what is it good for? The theory I heard is that pubic hair is used to store pheromones. I don’t remember where I heard that, though, probably somewhere on the Internet. It would explain why growing pubic hair coincides with puberty, and why it’s got such a different texture from hair anywhere else on the body. ---
