Default Downstairs hair

First, I am female and a virgin. The only thing I do is trim for hygienic purposes.

When it comes to shaving down there, what is considered "sexy"? Completely shaven?

If you were on a date that ended up in the bedroom, doesn't completely shaving yourself down there imply that you were expecting something to happen? I would feel embarrassed...

Any advice is appreciated

At the end of the day, you just gotta do what's comfortable for you. It's not directly applicable to you, but I find guys who are completely bald down there creepy. It's the whole pre-pubescent thing, it's weird

You can try many different things, I mean, why not? You're the only one to see it anyway for now. Then stick with what you like.

Most people will be very happy with simply trimmed for hygiene.

Then, sometimes, when you're in a long term relationship, you can discuss with your loved one what they like best and even ask them to do it for you! It's lots of fun.

I'm going to be different and say I actually prefer when girls are clean shaven.

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to hair, so whatever you choose to do is going to be something that at least one group of people doesn't like. Therefore in the meantime you should just do what you prefer - when you get into a relationship you can 'negotiate' on what they like, but don't try to predict what they want before then.

(It is much easier to take hair off if they want less than to grow it back if they want more, though)

See, that's my biggest fear. If she was completely shaven and I wasn't. I'd feel self conscious.

It's all a matter of taste. Everyone has preferences. I am completely shaven and prefer when others are too, the thought of hair on my tongue is what does it for me (i seem to have a really strong aversion to that) but some people are the opposite. You can't know in advance, but that's no reason not to do what you feel comfortable doing.

The big thing is this:

When you do end up in the bedroom, there's a very very large chance your partner is not going to care two hoots what you've done down there. They may have their prefences to how they like it styled / shaved / trimmed, but it'll be a hugely shallow and selfish person to halt all proceedings if they're not inclined to the way you've styled your hair.

And as said before, once you're in a relationship, you can let each other know how you like it done.

I can totally understand your fear about her not liking your style but in the heat of the moment, I doubt thoughts of hair styles will cross her mind, she'll probably be thinking other things For example, how hot this girl is that she's got with her, or what lovely -body part- she has.

For now, do what you like. I trimmed for hygiene reasons until I got into my current relationship, where it transpired my partner likes the Brazilian Strip style and since I was happy to change my styling habits, I did just that.

I personally prefer completely shaven but it's really up to you, it's your body. You can just trim, or get a brazilian wax, or whatever. Do what makes you most comfortable with your body.

it doesnt matter what other people like its what you like.

if someone doesnt like you because you have hair then they arent the person you would really want to be sleeping with.

everyone has preferences, but if you do things to please another person you dont benefit, only they do.

In all fairness, i become physically sick if i have hair touching my tongue. It's a strong physical aversion i can't control, i don't think unwillingness to continue in a particular activity is ALWAYS due to selfish/shallow -ness. At least in my case i think i have a good reason.

I would say your both right. I believe that if any person has any serious prefernces that they cant stand than it should be covered before the sex takes place. If the person knew about your quirks before hand than most wouldnt have a problem obliging.

Though if you were to get to the point of actually have sex and then shoot them down than that would be quite rude. :/

I've always shaved- and I've always liked for my partner to be shaved as well. The thought of hair...in my mouth... I think I'd throw up. Thats just me though. It really does depend on what you're comfortable with and what your partner is comfortable with.

I don't think it's shallow at all. I think it's a matter of what the person is comfortable with. I prefer girls to be shaven because to me hair down there seems messy and kind of unsanitary and kind of gross.

I'm a lesbian and I prefer trimmed but not clean-shaven. Clean shaven creeps me out. You should only do what ur comfortable with.

I trim. My ex kept it natural and as cool as that was pubes did get stuck in my teeth when I went down on her... clean-shaven is a little weird, but in my opinion keeping it trimmed makes it easier to clean and keep fresh. Just my two cents.
