Questions for Straight Men about Vagina

Just a few questions (only some are about vagina though):

  1. Why is a woman in her natural form less beautiful than a shaved, manicured form?
  2. If your girlfriend/wife stopped shaving her armpit and vaginal area, would you be OK with that? Would it ever been an issue that could potentially collapse a relationship?
  3. In your experience, does the vagina have odors that are similar but distinct among ethnic groups? (e.g. Does a black vagina smell different from a white pussy and does that smell different from an asian pussy or indian vagina, etc etc)
  4. Does the vagina remain relatively taut post-pregnancy? Post-menopausal? Have you ever been able to just not reach climax due to vaginal looseness?
  5. Does the consistency of a woman’s “climax” during orgasm ever drench a man’s penis similar to how the Japanese depict?
  1. Meaningless question. Different strokes for different folks. Some like them shorn, some like them Wookiee-ish.

  2. Depends on why. I don’t like body hair, so I would have concerns.

  3. Depends on health and diet more than ethnicity.

  4. Depends. I’ve had sex with several mothers who were quite toned in that area. I’ve had sex with younger women who had not borne children who were quite…slack.

  5. Not in my experience.

  1. She’s not.
  2. Yes. No.
  3. Sadly, I lack the dataset to properly answer that question. :wink:
  4. Yes. Don’t Know. No.
  5. See #3.
  1. I prefer shaved bald, but have had all types. It’s all good.

  2. I will never tell her how to do her hair–that on her head or that on her body. She can be herself and do what she wants to do.

  3. I’ve only been with caucasians, so I can’t answer that.

  4. I’ve not seen too much of a correlation there. The tightest I had was not a mother. The next tightest I had was a mother of 2. I’ve never had one before & after she was a mother, so I don’t know the effects of a vaginal birth firsthand. Never had a post-menopausal woman. Never had difficulty reaching orgasm due to lack of tightness.

  5. Not sure what the Japanese thing is, but if you’re referencing the phenomenon known as squirting, I’ve had 2 squirters and it can be quite intense. One of those women (the mother of 2 mentioned in #4) was a very heavy squirter. We would have to keep 2 towels on the bed and fold them over 3 times. When she soaked through the first, we’d bring out the second.

  1. Fallacy of complex question.
  2. Yes, I’d be fine with it - any shaving or trimming she does is for her own convenience.
  3. No relevant experience, but individuals of the same ethnicity vary.
  4. Yes; no relevant experience; not through that alone but as a contributory factor.
  5. Not in my experience.

1. Why is a woman in her natural form less beautiful than a shaved, manicured form?

It’s a Georgia O’keefe kind of thing.

2. If your girlfriend/wife stopped shaving her armpit and vaginal area, would you be OK with that? Would it ever been an issue that could potentially collapse a relationship?

No to the first part. Yes. Unless we’re talking about where old age becomes a factor and hard for her to maintain; I expect her to keep it up. To me personally it’s like good hygiene. I wouldn’t imagine I’d keep any GFs for long if I stopped brushing my teeth.

[3. In your experience, does the vagina have odors that are similar but distinct among ethnic groups? (e.g. Does a black vagina smell different from a white pussy and does that smell different from an asian pussy or indian vagina, etc etc)

No.

4. Does the vagina remain relatively taut post-pregnancy? Post-menopausal? Have you ever been able to just not reach climax due to vaginal looseness?

I’ve only been with one woman before and after pregnancy. From my limited expirience; there is no difference.

5. Does the consistency of a woman’s “climax” during orgasm ever drench a man’s penis similar to how the Japanese depict?

I’ve been with squirters before. It’s real.

Phallicy of complex question.*

  1. I don’t know why although I generally prefer smooth skin to hairy. It feels good to the touch and by extension it looks good.

  2. “OK” with it? Probably. I don’t think it would “collapse a relationship” but I’d appreciate it more if she did.

  3. I would love to conduct more research on this question and although I have been with women of different ethnicities, I don’t think I have enough data yet to make an accurate assessment.

  4. No clue. Haven’t been there yet.

  5. She doesn’t even have to orgasm to get wet enough to drench my cock. I’m not sure how the Japanese depict it…

  1. slight preference for shaved (maybe because the woman I am in love with has been shaved since we met). I’m really okay with “natural” as well.

  2. Been with (and even married) women who don’t shave anything ever. I’m okay with that.

  3. No. As others have stated. There is variance, but does not appear to be based on ethnicity.

  4. yes. yes. no (not due to “looseness” per se, but sometimes just because) (you didn’t ask, but my current “post-menopausal” sex partner is the best of my life. ymmv).

  5. yes, what others have said. Personally have had limited, but undeniable, experience with that phenomenon. .

  1. As others have said, questions of beauty depend entirely on personal preferences.
  2. Yes, I would have a problem with it, and yes it would be a deal-breaker for me. I expect my partners to be well-maintained, just as they should expect me to shower daily, put on deoderant, etc.
  3. In my experience, vaginal odor varies from woman to woman and has nothing to do with ethnicity.
  4. Based on my one experience with this, the vagina can actually be more tight after pregnancy, due to stitches. Not sure about post-menopause. Yes, I’ve been with one woman several times who was too loose to allow me to achieve climax.
  5. I’ve been with women who have a “discharge” on climax, but never any significant amount. Certainly not enough to “drench” anything.

Any particular reason for the survey?

Not a straight guy, just a party pooper…

Shaving your genitals is NOT equivalent to showering or brushing your teeth. It isn’t a minimal requirement of good hygiene. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong to prefer it (I do), but to me it’s the equivalent of a man shaving his face. Having a beard certainly doesn’t indicate poor hygiene, but I nonetheless am not interested in pressing my face into it.

I can’t speak for others, but what I meant by the comparison was that a woman choosing not to trim/shave would be the equivalent of me choosing not to wear deoderant or shower. This is my own personal opinion and has nothing to do with hygiene. I don’t believe it’s unhygienic if a woman chooses not to shave, but I believe it should be a regular part of her “maintenance” routine, just as applying deoderant is a regular part of mine.

I’m curious: Do the men who prefer women to shave their pubic hair also shave their own? If not, why not?

Do you shave your genitals? Whether you do or not, why isn’t it the equivalent of THAT?

Point taken.

I manscape.

The word “should” bothers me here: it implies a duty, a strong universal social convention when I don’t really think such exists. To continue DianaG’s excellent analogy, if I said “All men SHOULD shave their faces” it seems really judgmental: if I say “I prefer men who shave their faces and will only date/marry one who does”, well, that’s just a preference.

It’s not the same because my personal belief is that women should shave and trim as a regular part of their maintenance routine, and I hold no such belief for men. It’s entirely a matter of personal preference, like saying that I’m more attracted to women with long hair (on their heads) than I am to women with short hair.

I don’t shave my pubic hair. If I have a partner who isn’t ok with that, she has the right to object, at which point I would evaluate my attraction to that person and decide if the relationship was worth a commitment to shaving on a regular basis. Likewise, if I’m with a woman who doesn’t trim or shave, I have the right to ask that she does. At that point, she can determine if the relationship is worth such a commitment.

For me, it’s as much an expectation as showering and wearing deoderant, meaning that I wouldn’t choose to date a woman who didn’t shave any more than I would choose to date a woman who didn’t shower. That doesn’t mean I judge women negatively if they don’t shave or trim. We’re all free to make our own choices and I have several friends who are women who don’t shave. All it means is that I wouldn’t consider them to be viable partners.

Kids, your mother and I have something to tell you. I’ll be moving out, but you’ll still be living here with Mommy. This doesn’t mean we don’t love you. Not at all. We thought about this very hard, and believe this is what’s best for you as well as for Mommy and me. But the fact is that Mommy just won’t shave her vulva, and well, Daddy just has to move out."

So, women shouldn’t have short hair?

This is a serious question: is English your first language? Because there is a connotation to “should” that I think you are missing. “Should” implies some sort of moral or social duty. I would agree that people should shower. I would never say they should have short hair.
