reader, anonymous, writes (2 February 2010): Hey, I am just really confused by the children who have been responding to this topic. First off, it shows how immature you are when you say that hair is gross. Second, you should NOT even be able to give an opinion because you are too young. And lastly, if you notice, MEN prefer women who are natural. Adolescents seem to believe pubic hair is gross.
I am 19 and I say that it is attractive if a woman is natural.

Or if you do not want to do that then you should just shave your pubic hair all you need is a warm moist wash cloth, a shaver, a towel, and some shaving cream you can put the towel down and sit on it and then gently put the wash cloth on your pubic hair and then keep it on for at least 2 mins. or more. and then take it off and put on the shaving cream on and then use the shaver and just gently brush it on your vagina and then put the wash cloth back on and wipe off your pubic hair and dont worry i promise that it will grow baxk but it will be very itchy thank you for taking your time and reading this - ashley

reader, anonymous, writes (31 January 2010): I'm a female and I personally think women should have hair down there. Whether it's a bush or trimmed and neat is totally her decision.
I think the problem is that men (or..boys) these days are comparing us women to the (girls) they see online and in porn. It's completely unnatural and childish to be totally bare down there. If I was a guy I would feel like i'm with a 10 year old.
Also, if your notice, generally the guys who prefer girls totally shaved women are also the same guys who think curvy women with real bodies are "fat". The guys who also want the pre-teen bodies.
I think men need to appreciate women for what women actually are, and to stop comparing us to this childish 12-year old body image the media, internet & porn is trying to portray as "women".

i shave the lips innter thys all that jazz
but i honestly love having that feeling of hair on the front
i feel like a woman, i keep it shaped kind of like a surfbord and not thick, but shaving it just reminds me of when i was a little girl, and im not a little girl
this has really helped me a lot :) im glad there are men out there that likes it. i realize that if a guy doesnt like it, hes either watched too much porn, or is just used to the "childish feeling"
i wouldnt want to shave it all off
i love my body the way it is:)

For those who say go all natural and you who cares about your man or what he likes. Than why not stop shaving all together? Just have hairy legs, arm pits, and thighs. You say well thats not publicly acceptable. and that pubic hair is a private individual matter. Wait a minute! the next time you take off your panties for your significant other you just made it a public issue.

I do what Is comforatble for me: I shave the lips and top area but leave some in between... Trimmed, of course. And u always shave by my thighs. I personally don't like the way hair feels down there... And during a period, it's messier with hair (if you know what I mean). I say do what is more comfortable to you. If your guy really loves you, he won't care.. As long as you're in his arms.. My third time having intercourse was actually rather recent.. It was with my fiance. He had never seen me there before and I had never told him anything about it and when we made love, it was the best feeling ever. Not once has he mentioned what I do or don't have as being disgusting or a turn off. In fact he's always talking about how beautiful my body is and he tells me that he wants to have sex again.. He loves me and doesn't really care about what I look like, he's seen me at some of my worst moments... So in a quick sentence: do what you feel is comfortable, and if he finds it a turn off, it's not supposed to happen. Hope I helped!

Well, speaking as a 100% man here, my preference would be for a woman to keep it natural. I love the tactile sensation of hair, the way it's just a totally unique part of a woman's body, and...well, it just looks sexy as hell!
I can't for the life of me understand how some people react with a notion that hair is "gross," or "disgusting..." WTF??
I mean... it's the way an adult body looks.
I am just not attracted to the bald or landing-strip look.
It kind of creeps me out to be honest.
Of course it's ultimately a personal decision, left up to each individual, but in reply to the question of "how do the men out there feel?" I've gotta say I prefer the pubes!

having pubic hair is a sign of being an adult, so be proud of it, so my advice is to keep it trimmed, neat and tidy.
And forget about the guys that thinks that pubic hair on a women being a turn off, cos they obviously dont know what a real woman is, even if she came up and smacked them across the face!

My boyfriend actually finds pubic hair a turn on, as did my ex. They are in their thirties (I'm in my twenties) but once I was seeing a younger guy and when I told him I'd shaved he told me he found the shaved look a complete turn-off. I've dated men who liked trimmed, but never one who wanted shaven.
Personally I like my bush, and these days I wouldn't shave it off for anyone. It makes me feel more feminine :-)

I haven't had sex yet, I do have a boyfriend though...I'm just really, really happy to see that it's not as huge a deal as I thought it was. It's cool to have the guys here being, like someone else said "pro-pubes" LOL. I think it's a good idea to stick to trimming it nice and neat, but not completely shaving it. From the horror stories I've heard that can go wrong haha. So basically I'm agreeing with most here: trim it down, but don't shave it off totally.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 November 2009): Dear 16 year old,
I wouldn't think you are dirty at all by having pubic hair. It is just part of being a healthy developing girl, however, you would be more attractive "down there" if the hair was neatly trimmed instead of growing wild. This is much like a man's facial hair or grass in someone's lawn can look good if neatly trimmed and bad if it is allowed to grow with no maintenance.

reader, anonymous, writes (19 November 2009): I'm 27. I really appreciate all the positive posts men have about pubic hair. I have recently taken a liking to watching porn, but it started to make me really insecure about my hair. I'm thinking "geez, men must really be turned on by a waxed pussy". Personally, I want to look and feel like a woman, so I keep my hair, but of course it matters what men think. Because, if you think men are turned off by your hair, you feel quite insecure. It's REALLY nice to hear that men actually like the things that women are born with, like hair and natural boobs. So, why do we see so much artificiality everywhere? Anyways, thanks again.

female
reader, anonymous, writes (15 November 2009): I'm quite lucky in that my pubic hair is quite sparse (doesn't grow on my thigh, barely covers my pubic bone and lips) and soft anyway so i vary between closely trimming it and shaving it completely. As the hair is so soft, I don't get any bumps on the flesh beneath so when I shave the skin is as smooth as that on my stomach.
The first time I had hair removed from my pubic area it was a lover who trimmed it for me and the experience was quite erotic. Since then, I prefer to be hair-free in that area or at least trimmed very short. The feeling of any 'bush' is kind of a turn-off for me personally - I don't like how it feels day-to-day, outside of sex.
I've never been with anyone who said outright they didn't like it. In fact, with guys, I felt that it was the norm to be like that, expected. But the main point is that I do it for myself.
I am bisexual and pubic hair on women grosses me out and oral sex is a complete no. But conversely, I do like men to retain theirs, though a neat trim is nice.

female
reader, anonymous, writes (14 November 2009): Hey there,I have always been slightly complexed with the hair down there. I never shave it all the way, but I believe that keeping it a bit trimmed is good. Why am I complexed? Because I'm afraid some guys "expect" girls to be like that. But the truth is, from experience, it really depends on the guy. I am rarely attracted to the superficial "player" type that expects the girl to be perfect, anytime, anywhere. That's not possible! The most important thing in a relation is that the guy respects you no matter what. One of my friends' was asked by her boyfriend to shave it all and I was personnally disgusted (she didn't even have a sort "big bush", she just was trimmed and takes good care of her general appearance). Men shouldn't have to ask their girlfriends to do such things, especially since most men don't shave at all.My arguments for keeping a little hair down there:1. Nature decided for hair to grow there and has it's reasons (warmth, protection against bacteria...)2. Bacteria! I study microbiology and it seems to me, it's better to have the least of problems down there: if you develope an ingrown hair from shaving too much, that could lead to an infection (bump + puss eventually = discomfort + not cool). If you shave, their are risks that the blade is dirty and cutting yourself slightly could possibly be bad. Never share blades with other people also, not even family members.3. More you shave, more it's prickly, darker and grows back quicker. Being a brunette, it's no fun in the summer walking around the pool in a bathing suit when you have dark spots of short hair showing (better wax on the sides of the bikini!). Plus, if a guy goes and plays down there, he might expect you to be a little bit more soft. Keeping it trimmed moderately can give a soft touch.4. Pubic hair is a sign of puberty, that women are physically mature and are capable of having children. I personnaly don't want to get guys excited for looking as smooth as a pre-teen down there! That's creepy.5. Even when you showing it, you're not "really" showing it...! Hopefully, women will feel more comfortable in the future, despite what is shown on TV and on the Internet. It's great knowing that a guys loves you for what you look like, but it's even better that he loves you for who you are!

And i feel like i might cut a dude with those prickles. Hahaha Generally i dont shave the top of my "downstairs" i keep it trimmed pretty short. Or a landing strip if i wanna change it up a bit. but i do shave my lips just because i find that to be quite irritating. Do what YOU are happy with.

I have been fully shaved since 1983. Its the best thing i have ever done. I shave every morn in the shower. I feel so much better smooth.......its CLEANER. AND it makes me feel VERY sexy. You younger ladies ....if you want some tips on shaving email me. Kathy "First off, I don't see how it is "CLEANER". By running a sharp piece of metal over your skin, you're literally opening yourself up to infection, from cuts and in-grown hair. Ask any man you know how much he likes shaving his face.Second, body hair isn't new to humanity; hominid species have been living with body hair for the last 4 million years. More specifically, Homo Sapiens Sapiens (that's our species) have been living with it ever since we evolved. It's only in the last 70 or so years that human body hair (and only female in particular, mind you) has become "un-clean".So, PROTECT your health, don't be a mindless slave to capitalism like Kathy, and listen to the post just above this one; don't worry about it.

Honestly I see it as also being practical. Guys if you want to have your girl shave down there then do it yourself. Trust me I dated a girl that demanded I do that and it sucked (thankfully I only did it a couple of times)! You think you guys get razor burn on the chin? Try shaving down there! I always prefer a bush, and even if I didn't I could never do that to a woman.
Just for the record I do think that a woman needs to shave the legs, pits, and arms if necessary so I am not some hippy wierdo.

although everyone has commented and says "ask your partner" i feel like this is way too awkward of a conversation (i AM very close with him, i just hate/fear super awkward conversations- like this)

Current issues of Playboy magazine should serve as a barometer for pubic hair fashion. That should show you what the classy girls are doing at the moment.However, if you allow a guy to see what you've done with that area, he should be happy just being intimate with you. If he reacts negatively to any part of your body, he doesn't deserve it.

 I personally shave down there. Everything. It just feels more tolerable and...well...clean to me. It's basically the same reason as to why I shave my legs or other areas of the body.
My boyfriend stated that he doesn't care if I'm shaved or not, buuuut...I think deep down he likes shaved based on his physical reactions to either or. I think guys saying the like it shaved is a touchy subject, because this can have a connection to girls who prepubescent, which is majorly taboo. And heck, it kind of creeps me out when I think about it like that. But hey, when he saw completely shaved, he returned the favor and shaved too, which made things a lot easier for me when it was my turn to give oral. ;)
Just be safe. Know the consequences of sex before doing it, and do what you feel comfortable with.

It doesn't bother me when I go down on a woman or when I'm inside of her. Besides, totally shaved is too close to a 12 yr old... not sexy. Women have hair, get over it.

in fact, most of my boyfriends have preferred hair.
all in all, though, it's what you feel most comfortable with and how YOU feel the most beautiful. when you're concerned with petty things like how you look down there, it's hard to enjoy sex as it should be enjoyed!

As for hair, keep it tidy, but you don't have to shave it all off. He should love you anyway. I love my girlfriend's hair. Also, for girls that say guys should shave, please stop. Being shaven down there for either sex is just unnatural. But if you want, go ahead, but not that important. Just be yourself.

reader, anonymous, writes (14 September 2009): I myself had been wondering this same exact thing for MANY months now. My now ex-boyfriend made it seem like having any pubic hair was just revolting and that ALL women shaved it off. Now to me it just sounded stupid because, well, it ITCHES so badly . Basically though what I'm finding with all of these answers is that most guys actually ARE turned on with girls that don't shave their pubic hair. Trim it sure, you want to be clean cut, just like a guy should be with their beard (which raises another point I'll explain in a second). But DON'T be ashamed of yourself because you don't shave. In the long run, it's less to stress about and totally natural and healthy! And you know, if you date a guy with a beard or any form of facial hair and he decides that he can't handle giving you oral with pubic hair in the way, just tell him that you can't make out with him either. Same thing sort of, just different ends of the pole ;)If he's really got a problem with it, tell HIM to shave it all of, wait a day, and see how many steps it takes before he's got an ubearably itchy rash ;DIn the end, it really shouldn't matter to him whether or not you shave down there. He should love and accept you for YOU, and that should be the only reason why he's there in the first place. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend, I hope your relationship has many smiles :)

If your with a certain guy & It's really that big of a deal to him then he's really not worth It. Having public hair is absolutely normal, & everyone has It even guys, so why should us girls be worried about It?

I think that you should do what feels best for you, you wont be 'dirty' if you have good hygine! And just see what your boyfriend prefers, you might just want to keep it trimmed. but you dont want to shave completly because it is there to help keep germs out, and you dont want to look like a 6 year old little girl.

However, you really don't need to worry before you have sexual experience. Noone will think you're strange no matter how much hair you have down there (unless he's very religious or something.)
That said, you may want to consider professional waxing. It hurts like a bitch (mostly the first time), but it only needs to be done once every six weeks.
...............................
A
male
reader, anonymous, writes (24 July 2009): main reason that shaving is so popular these days is a result of a fad that the porn industry started in the 80s, designed to be more explicit as you can see a woman's parts more explicitly..... unfortunately porn is how most young men learn about sex. Ditto when it comes to plastic surgery, just look how common breast implants are these days..
Like most teenage guys I really did not care if the girl had a full bush or was shaved. But after a few relationships, a shaven area became really unappealing & boring. The ensuing rash, prickles and just the look of it can be a real turn off.
It doesn't even compare to a lovely & mysterious thick curly thatch.
I say either leave it natural or slightly trimmed until you have a partner and see what preferences you share. If he's completely hell bent on shaved, chances are he learnt it from porn.

Furthmore you all remember being that age all the questions you want answers too but are too embaressed to ask,are you normal, etc. also all teenage boys are looking to have sex as soon as possiably and at school you get teased about your body, boys are cruel these days so give girls a break they just want guys to like them. ALSO tbh she isn't too young most teens have had sex by they time they are 14 - 15 anyway,what i'm trying to say is things change fast you just have to go with it. another thing when i was in primary school everyone talked about it then so too young NO so egnor the comments about too young, thats personal.
And to answer you question well it depends on the guy i personally like to shave but leave a strip !

But going bald doesn't only make you look like a little girl it also isn't very healthy. Pubic hair is there for a reason, to keep germs and all this out of the vaginal opening. To shave it all off isn't very healthy anyway.

reader, anonymous, writes (22 June 2009): Hey girl I'm 18 and I've dealt with this question myself. I had a pretty big bush and I found that it made it difficult to keep myself clean and sweet-smelling, and I also occasionally had hairs peeking out of my thongs and bikini bottoms. I tried shaving one day, and it was a job! I had to trim and then shave, and it took a long time to fully remove all my thick, curly hair. The next day, it felt great! smooth and soft and clean, I loved it! The next day I noticed it was extremely itchy, and I investigated to discover that the entire shaved area was covered with red bumps, and i was horrified. I suffered through it until it partially grew back, and enjoyed having short hair for a time. I found trimming an area which is not exactly smooth very difficult, and I soon had my old bush back with the same problems. I asked my friend about it, and she said that when she first shaved, it was very uncomfortable, but if you keep shaving and don't scratch, it soon becomes comfortable. I decided to give it another shot, and lived through an itchy week. I've been shaved ever since, and I have no problems. I generally shave every day, but it's totally fine if I skip a day or two, say if I'm camping or something, there still isn't any problems. I love being clean, and I always smell good down below. I`m a virgin, so I don`t know whether or not my future spouse will like it, but I intend to save sex for marriage and to ask my fiancee what his preference is before thewedding night. For my own personal preference, I`ve had all lengths of pubic hair, and I like clean shaven the best. Just keep at it, and you`ll find that all discomfort goes away and you`re left with smooth comfort. Take it from a sister who was born with a big bush, getting rid of it is the msot comfortable and cleanest solution.

You are not dirty because of the amount of hair you have on your body. I have a similar situation and I'm a cute/pretty person. Keeping clean is the key. I trim and wax to maintain less hair overall, it makes me feel comfortable with my nice physic. My problem is my body hair is dark and I have a light golden-ivery skin tone, so the dark hair on my body shows up really well, so if I'm not waxed from my buttocks to my ancles, I feel a little less comfortable, but at the same time I have a lot of other sexy qualities that enhance the bigger picture.

 I totally agree with the most of the other Aunties on this subject.
A quote from one anonymous male;
"All the completely shaved stuff that is so in, seems to me, to be an almost paedophilic fetish".
Most men in general, it seems - do prefer their women to be as natural as nature intended them to be.
Shaving, waxing or trimming your pubic hair is becoming more of a norm, it follows fashion. More girls are into wearing thongs and low-rise bikinis.
Again, it's a clear case of girls wanting to match with the 'woman of today' label.
Some girls go to great lengths, even inflicting pain on ourselves, to appeal to others.
Perhaps a little trim and a 'tidy up'.
But whether you choose to tend to a manicured lawn or wild English garden is your choice - and nobody else's.
Guys will not think you're dirty providing you maintain regular hygiene down there.
The choice is yours.

I'm a pretty young guy, but I think a woman shouldn't feel the need to shave her pubic hair to be "attractive." Just like a woman should want a man, a man should want a woman. All the completely shaved stuff that is so in, seems to me, to be an almost pedophilic fetish.

Also, what people have said about us being too young is stupid. Just because they don't think someone could have a mature and loving relationship at our age doesn't mean it's not true! I know it's possible from experience - don't listen to em!

 Honey, firstly I believe that it's a huge rumor that men prefer women without pubic hair.. I mean Men look to have sex with a real woman and they aren't looking for a dead bird. Yea, I have heard it called that when I was vacationing in Florida. Men crave that soft skin, curves and they like a little hair in our southern area. Men crave that dream sweaty, steamy sex with an amazon woman. Try to keep the southern mane tame, but don't take it all off. I myself love the clean diamond shape. Oh, and do shave underneath too, it gives both partners pleasure and you'll feel cleaner without needing the brazilian. As for getting that clean shave, try using creams

12 and 13 year olds ARE too young to have sex. For one thing, they aren't finished with growing and developing! Saying that age shouldn't matter and be ignored is just wrong wrong wrong.
It's horrible, and disturbing. The rate of mothers the age of 12 years old is rising. Kids that age are too young to understand.
Just do it when YOU FEEL READY and never ever feel pressured. Let yourself grow up first and even experiment with other things (Like masterbation) prior to thinking of any serious ways, please! It's the healthiest one can ever do for themselves.
Besides, its much more fullfling when you know you are with someone you love.

but just trim if u dnt wanna shave and ur feel much better.
This mite sound weird but at 1st i found it slighty embarassing showin off my parts. But its ok now. I used not to want to see me..
I used to be shaved, but i gave that up after a wk, coz i had to do it everyday and it was a bore. U'd also get itchy, and u cud get ingrowin hairs.. Eww!!! Just trim, it looks ten times better. and its natural.

hope this helped in some form...

No you won't be thought of as dirty. Most men I know like girls with pubes.

It used to be the novelty was a shaved pubic area - now an UNSHAVED one is a novelty. My, how times change!

 Look. just keep it nice and trimmed, like for bikini season, and you got no worries. as long as its not a jungle we are cool with it. And there are some that dont mind the jungle. h.a.n.d.

To be honest most men do like it shaved or trimmed, even some men trim their own area these days. Do what you feel comfortable with ok.

 Its a shame you had to even ask. its not a turn of at all. Kinda wrong to think that we think we have to look like children to be attractive to the opposite sex. there are too manny young girls worried about the apperance of there parts even getting cosmetic surgery. to me this is a media problem and nothing to do with what the males want. On the other side giving oral sex can be more enjoyable with clipped hair..

reader, anonymous, writes (13 June 2007): As far as hair goes, to look at media today you'd think that fully mature women either have no pubic hair or very very little. This can cause perception issues. In any case, the way to go is with whatever you are comfortable. I don't think that pubic hair is a turn-OFF to (some)men so much as shaved girl-parts are a turn-ON. I highly doubt that your guy will be turned off. In the teen years, most boys are happy to have that particular bit of female anatomy in front of them, regardless of how it looks! If you aren't comfortable shaving/trimming and your guy IS really grossed out by your body in its natural state, I suggest that the problem lies with the guy and not your short and curlies.
And as far as the people here saying "it shouldn't matter because you're too young" and so forth are concerned, ignore them. The decision to have sex is a very personal one and no one can say what age is "right". Some people are mature enough to engage in sexual relationships as young as twelve or thirteen, while (much more frequently) there are eighteen and twenty year olds who really should grow up a little more first. So don't let other people's ideas of what's "appropriate" interfere with such a personal decision. What's right for them may or may not be what's right for you.

Some guys prefer shaved or well-trimmed pubes, but I can't speak for how boys your own age may feel. At your age, I would honestly hope that the boys you are interested in would prefer for you to look more like a woman and less like a pre-pubescent girl.
