First, I just shaved the lips. I loved how it felt. So smooth and sensitive to his touch. After a while I decided to try to go completely bare. Didn't like that at all. Not the first time, anyway.
Over the years, I would shave for a while and then let it grow back. I couldn't make up my mind. Was it DD that made me change my mind? It was after our very first chat about DD but before we embraced the life style. I mentioned shaving again and he said he really like me bare down there. And so it began.
For the last 6 years, I have kept it up. Sometimes I go as long as a week without shaving but it drives me nuts to go much longer. I don't feel clean if my skin isn't baby smooth. I still feel shy in front of him. Knowing that I am completely exposed but at the same time, it makes me feel very submissive. I like that.
One thing I do miss is the sensitivity of freshly shaved skin. I am working on that. I have decided to let the hair grow for a while. That is the only way I know to get that sensation back. It is at about a quarter inch and is already driving me nuts. Itchy, uncomfortable and miserable. I think it will be worth it in the end though.
Do you shave your pubic area?
Why? Good grooming or to please your partner?
I started shaving for him. Now I shave for me.
I started out shaving for me. I don't remember exactly why I shaved the first time. It was probably bathing suit season and I wanted to neaten things up. I found I liked the smooth feeling. When I met my husband, he enjoyed it so I kept going for him. Then I quit doing it for a while. I recently started shaving again and now it's for both of us.
ReplyDeleteI know for me it has been a while. Too long ago for me to remember the why or what for. Probably a trip to PC beach. Thanks for you 2 cents!
DeleteLisa shaves, did it before it became main stream. She did it because she regularly got a rash down there.
ReplyDeleteLater on she did it for me. Now she is hooked. Whenever she lets it grow even a tiny bit, it itches the hell out of her.
When I first shaved, I didn't know anyone who did it. Now that it is main stream, it is easier. I don't worry about things like a trip to the gyn anymore.
DeleteYes and the last line applies, started for him - keep doing it for me.
ReplyDeleteThat is the best reason to do anything! for yourself!
DeleteJust like you, I had done it before, but didn't really care for it. Enter ttwd, and now I try to keep up on it because I love the feel of it. Although honestly, I would love to get a sugar wax done and not have to worry about it for a while. Anyone have experience with it?
ReplyDeletewaxing sounds ouchy but I have thought about it. Smoother and don't have to face the razor every day? I am all for that but not so sure about the ow ouch part or showing my bits to a stranger.
DeleteI shave and have done so for years. For the same reason as most of you, it feels great. Now the though of hair down there grosses me out. It just doesn't feel as clean to me. Oh and the gyn comment, that used to bother me too. Going to gyn and them seeing me. Enter nursing school and clinical rotation in OB. Most younger women shave. And by younger, I mean under 40.
ReplyDeleteIt bothered me until I worked in the ER for a few months. It wasn't common at the time but a few young ladies, my age at the time, would come in with no hair down there. I was a relief.
DeleteI'm so glad you asked this question... I am at times curious about this. I, too, started for him but keep it up for me. I don't shave completely... I just trim the top and shave underneath... I feel more sensitive when I'm clean shaven.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably gonna laugh... I know it sounds silly now... but several years ago when S asked me to shave, I was worried about going to the gyn... didn't want the Dr to think I was a kinky freak! ROFL! Amazing what a little ttwd will do for the way a person thinks!! xx
Long ago I did it for me. Then I stopped caring. Now I do it for him. But he likes the "landing strip" not the full shave... :)
