TO SHAVE OR NOT TO SHAVE...in the southern region...

[sephoraX]

i feel kinda dumb for asking, but what exactly is a brazillian wax?

where do you go to get them , and what is the process like?

[pineapplegirl]

Hi Sephora,

Never had one myself, but from my understanding it's a full wax of the area...As far as where to go to get one, I'd look for a place through a referral from a friend. If the facility you go to isn't clean, I'm guessing you can pick up quite an array of nasty little creatures or some other horrifying thing...Good luck. I'd like to know how it goes. I won't do it, just chicken I guess..

Have to admit reading this thread has struck an interest.. LOL. I would have to say a preference going down on fully shaven, but like someone else would be curious aboutthe girls perspective on the guys.. btw for someone who ask about Brazilian Wax...

 

here is a nice link.. and think I choose to be an acountant when I could have been a Brazilian Wax Specialist.. LOL

Im with theminx. I like the landing strip and shaved where it counts.

 

I agree...and I like my men hairy...trimmed is ok, but bare? no way!

[BlueEyes_68]

For Her: smooth (the best!) or the landing strip

 

For me: smooth on the sack and base and then I use a beard trimmer set to number 2 or 3 for the rest of it. (I'm not a porno star, so I can't see the point in shaving completely.)

 

Anyway, I figure if the woman I'm seeing is going to put forth the effort, so can I. Besides, who wants to break out the weed whacker to get to the promised land, or worse yet, having to stop oral to pick out the strays? Keep it smooth ladies and your man will love you for it.

[VictorWard]

For her -> Shaved completely. I tend to get tickled by hair down there since my nose if very sensitive.

 

For me -> I trim short, and shave the shaft and sack. That's the way my girlfriend likes it, so I'm not going to argue.

[GaveTooMuch]

I like it completely shaved, I just love seeing the whole thing and no hair getting in the way.

[joe-bloe]

I like it trimmed ---Being with a shaved or waxed woman makes me feel like a pedophile.

[clodhopper]

for me --> i always used to just trim and have the landing strip. i recently started shaving completely and although its annoying to deal with razor burn and ingrown hairs, its so worth it!! i feel more clean and fresh at the time, and my guy LOVED it. never complained about the trimmed area, but ever since i started shaving completely... apparently its been a turn on

 

for him --> not shaved completely, but definitely trimmed

[Grand_Inquisitor]

I have always wanted to have a relationship with a girl who shaved, but I have yet to meet one. Some seem to think of it as a weird thing. I've been too shy to request it.

 

I shaved for comfort during the summer/fall when I'm doing a lot of physical work outdoors. It does feel cleaner and somewhat less "restricting" - for lack of a better expression.

Everybody knows shaving is out, and so is the landing strip.

 

Keep it trimmed, but not shaven.

I don't think anyone in this post is trimming/shaving as some sort of a fashion statement.

 

To suggest something is "out" or "in" implies trends, popular culture etc...

I certainly don't parade around town displaying the albino snake.

 

It's very much a comfort and sensativity issue with me.

[Bjourne]

Judging from this thread: All girls shave or atleast trim. Almost all guys prefer shaved (or less). Is that how it is in the real world or are just those who have replied here unusual?

[Grand_Inquisitor]

I would have to think that it is not. I think a lot of people in our Victorianlike, less liberated, North American society would either find it too maitainance-heavy, tabboo or simply try it out of curiosity and let it grow back in due to burns and/or bumps.

 

You have to really be a somewhat motivated individual on a number of different levels to try it and to maintain it. The Europeans don't seem to be of the type who would embrace that kind of practice, seeing as how they're not as inclined to shave their legs or armpits.

 

Also, those who have thicker hair folicles may have more issues than those with the thinner type. Europeans - Italians, Greeks, Portuguese, Spanish etc.. tend to be of that genetic predisposition. They likely require more frequent removal sessions as well. The Celtic types may have finer hair, but they may burn more easily. So one really has to be motivated.

 

The great sensation with sex is often motivation enough, for the first while!

[fantasia2004]

Isn't it better shaved ? Some pubic hairs are really course and harsh to a man's touch if you know what I mean

[pineapplegirl]

With the exception of re-growth, I agree that shaving is the way to go...

[Hi-its-me-again]

So from what i've heard it's weird for a guy to go with a bare under region

[HeavenLee]

I go completely bare and use a hair epilator. It doesn't hurt quite as much as one would think once you get used to it... but you gotta be careful!!! I love going completely bare, it makes me feel clean and confident!!!

 

As for a guy, I think I would be really turned off if I came accross one that was shaved completely or hairless. I like my men to be manly, so trimmed is good, as long as there is some hair there still... I can also deal with untrimmed too, although the occasional hair in mouth is a drawback!!!

[AlleyCat]

Wow. I must say, I'm surprised by the number of women who shave. I always thought it was unusual to do so, not the norm.

 

As for myself, I keep the area trimmed, and do a little more if I'm going to be wearing a bathing suit, but that's it. My b/f seems to like it that way, so I'm not going to change.

 

I tried shaving once, but found the area so itchy and uncomfortable, that I don't think I'll do that again (my b/f didn't like it either).

[Caldus]

I'm one of those normal guys who like it shaved or trimmed. Either one is fine with me.

[joe-bloe]

I shave my legs because I am a cyclist . One day I got carried away with the rasor and shaved everything below the waist off. That was the itchiest month of my life. Also stickiest , i was always sweating down there.

[moe42]

personally i shave and usually comletely bare or REALLY short i like my bf to trim cause its better to go down on him and also hand jobs when i feel lazy or whatever so yeah and my bf likes me to be shaved pretty short

[lellie_leslie]

I prefer to do a bit of shaving and trimming...waxing is a slightly scarry thought, but I'm tempted.

[cremebrulee]

I've tried most of them. Natural, Standard Bikini Wax, Brazillian Bikini Wax, Hollywood wax and post-hollywood wax. Personally i find brazillian the most comfortable for me, my partner doesn't care which i have as long as it's clean & tidy. Definitely prefer to wax (even though more costly) as shaving doesn't last long, gets itchy, more prone to razor burn etc...

[Boughtandpaidfor]

I like short back n sides. Take it all off and it looks a bit........ young and weird.......

 

 

I only had one girlfriend who properly shaved (as opposed to trimmed) and I have to say it was itchy for her and me.
