    Personally, I feel you can find someone attractive yet be put off by something. I'm not going to dictate to a potential sexual partner how she should grow her lady garden, but I'm also not about to put up with something that I don't like at the beginning of the relationship just because something else was attractive. They may have a lovely body, gorgeous face etc etc, but if she's got a 1970's Afro going on down there, it is the biggest turn off for me.

    I guess it's just preference. I just find the idea of licking pubic hair vile, and I personally feel its actually a bit unhygienic. Yes it's 'natural', but it's also not 'natural' to brush your teeth, yet you wouldn't want to kiss someone who never brushed :rotfl:


    I can't remember if you are male or female, so I'm assuming you are male.

    Ever thought of women who perform oral sex? Not that many men shave their bits. So the odd stray hair is quite normal. Most people wash before planned events, so nothing is ever that funky.

    Now, I'm roughly the same age as Torrie and quite honestly by age 22, I was married and had a grand total of two people who I had been intimate with. And this was in the '80s pre AIDS epidemic.

    There is obviously a huge generation gap going on here.

    Not really, I'm 47 and I've found some of the comments from the 'older' posters quite alien to me.

    Not necessarily. I'm in my early-mid twenties and pretty much agree with Torry. But then again, I just trim my hair, so maybe that's what the difference is. I trim and have never had a complaint or comment about it from a guy, and most guys I know don't like the bare "doll-like" look anyway.

    I'm 22 and Female!

    Maybe it's generation, maybe it's up-bringing, who knows? I was quite an 'early starter' so to speak when it came to boys, and I am pretty open about sex and what i like and don't. My nan, who is 102, has been reading all this stuff on a visit I had yesterday. She had 9 children and 6 husbands (yes, 6!!!!).

    Her advice 'smooth it all out, when it starts to crinkle, let it grow! You wouldn't wear a tight fitting top if you had skin flapping everywhere, that's just bad taste darling :rotfl:'


    For a man - I would prefer either left alone or slightly trimmed. But his pubes ain't going in my mouth.

    For a woman - totally hair free (including myself):D


    Do women not clear it all purely because they 'can't be bothered?' I can say? Keeping it smooth and stubble free is a chore! A worth while chore, but a chore nonetheless!

    Out of pure interest, do you date older men? 35+?

    Nope. It has either been a year younger, the same age, or a year or two older.

    When I was in my teens I did try getting rid of it all, just to see what the fuss was about and didn't like it at all. I didn't like the look or the feel.

    We obviously are about the same age as I could have written something very similar to you. It does seem like a generational thing to me too.

    Glad to hear that not everyone is swayed by 'popular opinion' that hair needs removal.

    At last I now what the comment about aged 22 was about, shame you didn't tell me earlier! No I hadn't had any sexual experience at age 22 but married shortly afterwards which is when I did.:o

    I really thought you were male from your comments about not wanted a sexual partner with hair. :o Sorry!

    I certainly wouldn't be discussing this with elderly relatives, you must have an interesting and unusual relationship.

    It is nothing to do with being a chore although it would be It just never crossed my mind that it would be something necessary. In fact until reading earlier threads on here I never realised it had crossed from !!!!!! to the mainstream to be hair-free.

    It pretty much depends on how much I can be bothered, how hairy I am at any point in time.

    In my 20s I Immac'd and had a neat triangle. I'm not as hairy now as I was then, sometimes I leave it to grow, sometimes I trim with nail scissors, sometimes I shave it all off. I'm in my 40s.
