I like pubic hair, on both my wife and myself. But I’ve always been curious about shaving it. I’ve talked about it with her several times, but all I ever get is “Ewww, gross, I’m not doing that!” So, I guess I just have to keep being curious. ---

I used to shave. I don’t anymore, mainly because I’m not getting laid at present, and the only reason I really did it was for the cunnilingus factor. I mean, hair is bad enough on a man, and there’s not nearly as much to worry about. Of course, having said that, I LOVE shaved men. It’s much easier to suck on their balls if they’re not coated in hair. I hate getting hair stuck in the back of my throat, too. I was also unaware that shaving was a taboo. It’s becoming more and more popular. Check out this link for a good essay on the subject. [http://www.nervemag.com/Featherstone/shockingFuzz/](http://www.nervemag.com/Featherstone/shockingFuzz/) ---

And now for a partially dissenting view… My old girlfriend shaved before. Upon seeing it, by first thought was “Good Lord, it looks just like a plucked cornish hen.” Then I had to listen to her bitch for a week while the itchy hair grew back. From now on, she can keep her whims in her mind and me out them. * * * “I guess it is possible for one person to make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.” ---

I am a guy and I do shave it all off. I just like how smooth it feels. Shaved genital areas on guys are a turn on for me. When I first tried it it itched like hell (I was red down there from the irritation for the first several days). Since I do it every few days it’s not a problem for me. It can be a bit of a chore if I let it grow back but if I keep it up it’s pretty quick to cut it back. I also like using those mach3 razors (triple blades). I have found that they dont nick me like the regular 2 blade (or even single blade) razors used to. I also didn’t even know it was a taboo either. Oh and this reminds me, i remember on my universities intranet, one of the posts on the BB was about “hairless pie”. Anyway, a lot of the guys who answered said they liked girls that were shaved, or that kept their pubes trimmed. ---
