Men Tell Us What They Think Of Female Body Hair

George Lois' iconic image of Virna Lisi for Esquire, 1965

You know what really surprised me? The responses I got from men when I asked them about a woman’s body hair.

In case you’re wondering: every one of these men has a college degree. Each one is intelligent, good looking, and any one of them would probably be a viable mate. But this is really all they have in common. Ages range from 24 to 34. They’re from lots of different industries: law, fashion, tech, literature, non-profits and more.

And yet they were all overwhelming in their acceptance of however a woman wants to maintain herself. Of those that even bothered to state a preference, most were in favor of hair. Some were even in favor of armpit hair.

However. I’d wager that if I asked a bunch of high schoolers the same questions, or asked dudes at the gym with barbwire tattoos, or dudes with soul patches, or dudes who use fake tanner, or dudes who wear Ed Hardy, the answers would have been very different. But you don’t want horrible bros to be anywhere near your vagina, much less dictate how you groom it. Right?

Read through what the guys had to say in the gallery, then let us know in the comments how your experiences have differed.

Various Greeks (mostly mythological) represent the gentlemen.

Also. I wanted to use this as the headline image but it seemed obtuse.

    this makes me happy

  • Jarod

    Also worth noting that I recently read an article where Republicans prefer full bush (no ‘Bush’ puns intended) over Democrats who prefer some maintenance down there. Maybe it plays into the whole “Less Government” thing…

    • Ashley Cardiff

      Yes to this comment. Yes.

    • Eileen

      If that’s from Esquire, I read it, too. Worth noting that the Republicans apparently prefer woman-on-top and the Democrats, doggy-style.

    • Buzz

      If this is true, then I believe it’s time for a new movement. Democrats for a new, full Bush presidency.

  • KCK

    Fantastic. Thank You. Yes.

  • Becker

    I am a woman and I prefer my men “groomed down there” too. Some men are like a forest..you would need a weed-wacker to find the stump.

  • doc

    real men are hairy, real men dont have time to waste grooming non facial hair to your specifications, deal with it.

    • Ridiculous

      Nor do “real” women. I suggest you get over your own machismo. Also, all adults are hairy and pretty much pressed for time. Why is there such a dichotomy and fight over women’s bodies? Why can’t we own them for ourselves?

  • sugar

    I don’t buy this survey. I am quite sexually active and have been with many men. I usually shave it all off in the spring/summer and let it grow back in late fall. Even after it grows in it isn’t particularly thick or “bushy”. However, I have noticed that although men are thrilled with my naked body no matter what….when I am hairless they act as though they have hit the jackpot. There is no doubt in my mind that men prefer hairless, I don’t care what the flawed survey says.

    • Ashley Cardiff

      I’m sorry, but how is a survey of ten guys offering opinions “flawed” and at the same time less objective than a survey of “men [you've] been with”? It would be just as absurd to say your sample group of sexual partners is “flawed.”

    • smithy

      @sugar oh yeah? YOUR survey is flawed. maybe you only go for dreadful fratty types who want to fuck women with no pubes. my experiences reflect this post way, way more: blokes are just glad to be having good sex. only narcissistic twats would care whether or not there’s a tuft of 1/2 inch hair between my legs.

  • Stephen Hayslip

    I prefer my food not to have hair in it.

    • Nessy

      I prefer my bed not to have a jackass in it.

    • lizards first rule

      @Stephen Hayslip i prefer my vagina to be nowhere near gross tools like you.

  • Morris

    It’s better to rely on what your partner says than on this article. Some men may like body hair, but others don’t. I don’t, for example. And my girlfriend – she found this article, by the way – doesn’t like a great big bush, neither. You should really ask your partner!

    • blaire

      i’m sorry, but i didn’t see anywhere in the article where it said “And the ten men surveyed have made a new law, by which everyone follows their preferences forever.” OBVIOUSLY it’s best to communicate openly with your partner and I didn’t in any way see this article trying to refute that. this is fucking ten guys offering ten fucking opinions. everybody calm the fuck down. oh, and @morris, why don’t you grow up and deal with pubic hair like a man?

    • Morris

      @blaire i’m sorry, but I read the comments and the fighting of the women and men. And you seem to be a bit agressive, too. why dont you calm down a bit? I just felt like saying what I said, after reading those comments. oh, and @blaire, I didn’t say I couldn’t deal with it. I just prefer it different.

  • Rebekah Mae

    Those last two guys’ opinions made me happy. Though I keep it trimmed it’s still nice to know there are guys out there who like a full bush. I was beginning to think they were extinct

  • Alex

    Just to add a data point, I’m a 36-year-old male community college instructor with a Master’s degree in biology; women seem to find me passably attractive, although I think I’ll need to lose about forty pounds to fall within the range of body types considered maximally good-looking in present-day American culture. My general preference is for my partners to be completely shaved below the neck — armpits, pubes, and legs — but that doesn’t mean I’ll reject a woman who doesn’t shave any or all of those areas, or even bring it up unless she asks about my preferences.

    On the other hand, I recall one girl I met some years ago when I was taking ballroom dancing and going to social dances on a regular basis; she was Indian-American, and had a lot of the very fine, downy, nearly invisible body and facial hair that many women of that ethnic background seem to possess. It shimmered when the light caught it from just the right angle, and when we danced I found the feel of it under my hand (she wore a dress that left her shoulders bare) shockingly sexy. As I was in a long-term relationship at the time, my relationship with her never progressed past the acquaintance stage, but I’ve occasionally wondered what it would have been like to sleep with her, and regretted that I never had the opportunity to find out.

  • Trioto

    A europeen veiw ^^

    Actually this isnt a big secret, men dont wont mustaches, armpit hair or leg hair. When adressing the “bush” however, opinions divide. Some like smooth, some like trimed with some hair on the top, liking a “full bush” its kind of an fetish.
    Just my europeen 2 cents^^ TC

  • Buzzy

    I thought I would take the “flawed” survey.

    1. Over 30? Check
    2. Good looking? Check
    3. College educated? Check
    4. Like independent, free-thinking women? Check
    5. Like “fur”? Check Check Check

  • anonymous

    EW. If a man isn’t hairless down there He’s not getting ANY. It’s unattractive, uncomfortable, and unsanitary. in general men aren’t as sanitary as women, but I clean myself and I expect my man to. If he’s not I’ll ask him to shave and wash up before anything goes down. And besides why are there so many “articles” about this when guys don’t give two f*cks what we think about their body hair.

    • PATTY

      AFTER THAT I THINK I WOULD STAY ANONYMOUS TOO OMG HOW CHILDISH ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO DO CHILDREN AND IT LOOKS LIKE THATS WHAT YOU WANT THE MORE HAIR A MAN HAS THE SEXIER HE BETTER HAVE SOME HAIIR OR HES TOO YOUNG

    • LakeLover

      I think you’re 16.

    • Corrinne

      For fucks sake. Anon sounded like a moron, but just because you shave DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE A CHILD OR LOOK LIKE A CHILD. Sorry for the caps. Trying to speak in a language you’ll understand.

  • DJ

    I think the best appearance falls somewhere in between, myself, but haven’t I read somewhere that pheremones are secreted primarily by hair / in “hairy” areas?
    Seems like that would be a big vote for keeping some….

  • just b

    mow the lawn

  • James

    Well, from my sexual life experience with women, I have always been turned off by hairy women although sometimes it’s nice to see a little airway strip (Trimmed of course). Sorry to say but Women are suppose to represent Elegant beauty and a women being hairy is not elegant at all in my opinion. What man or women wants to give oral sex to another women when you have to push back the bush, gently pull back their hoodie to give great sensation with the tongue and try to finger the G-spot as well… Sorry but that all can’t happen with two hands (Comfortably)….Seriously, I don’t enjoy picking long a** pubic hair out of my mouth from giving oral pleasures and I don’t see why anyone else would. It goes the same way for a female or male giving oral pleasure to a male…You don’t want a huge bush to push back to get the baby to become a grown man and get hair in your mouth because it’s just disgusting and unpleasant. If anyone enjoys giving Oral sex to another and picking pubic hair out of your mouth every 2 minutes then more power to you and by the way, your a pig. We’re in a different era where humans CAN shave properly and as well have great hygiene compared to the year 95 or lower where shaving wasn’t that common.
    In reality, trimming and shaving pubic hair, arm pits and legs is just a preference to ones self, although becoming a trend by the Media pigs.

    You all need to act like mature adults for once in your lives and be realistic….This survey is stupid and it’s a preference not a choice or anything else…
    And who ever thinks being a republican all have the same preference in hairy-ness or sex positions or Democrats is a belligerent moron!
    A PREFERENCE TO ONES SELF, remember that!

    • Ashley Cardiff

      this is like a novel i want to read again and again

    • Amy

      Asides from your irritating incorrect use of capitalisation, you lost me at “women are *supposed* to represent elegant beauty”. Says who, exactly?

    • Goldie

      This is my favorite part:

      “We’re in a different era where humans CAN shave properly and as well have great hygiene compared to the year 95 or lower where shaving wasn’t that common.”

      It’s really nice to see an anthropological take on the matter.

    • Victoria

      Salutations,
      I’m a woman who decide to keep my body as it is and take all the time and suffering and incarnated hair (you don’t want to lick a button full of dirt) and budjet to think and realise other projects. Porn star that you shake your dick in front, it’s there prefessionnal choise that comes with involving time and money on there vulvas.

      I meet different mans because I’m not engaged to anywone except myself and those who are horrified because they never saw reel thing in there educative sites, it’s easy to see that they are not at the same level of thinking and It’s easy to recognised them and flushed them because yes, most of the men I met love to get my hair in there mouth. I don’t juge them if they shave but I feel I have a relation with a prepubare with soft mustache and I’m not in to pedophile profile.

      There is such other things in life than hair.. And hair on top of the head, should we shave it because it’s dirty, because nobody would want to kiss my lips that are surrouded by them? We see that it’s a cultural thing. Some people take shaved pussy (that can feel like a shaved beard if you don’t pay 10000$ for laser) for natural established, You talk about the year 1990 but, in 1887, Courbet made a painting who’s name is The origine of the world. We saw a woman lied down naked with hair.. A scandal! Why? Because before that, woman has been compared to divinity with no hair. Th only woman reprensented were Venus and other fictive woman (like fictive woman of your educative sites or woman who are very influenced by “what does man want be to be”. I guess that the hair you don’t want in your soup is a woman that affirm who she want to be… A preference to ones self.. you will never get with intelligent woman, only with little girls with baby pussy that fake orgasma and that exauce all of what you want. Have a good life, we’ll never meet!

      Best regards,

      Victoria

    • Corrinne

      Victoria, kindly STFU. Just because I prefer to go bare, does not mean I have a “baby pussy”. I’m not into porn (but for those that are, more power to you) and my husband isn’t either! (Yeah I know, sounds like bullshit, but trust me, he’s not. We’re very open about things and he knows I wouldn’t care if he did like porn).

      You don’t want people to judge your hairy vadge, so why don’t you start by not judging me for prefering it bare? Your comment came off like you were trying to sound smarter than you really are- it didn’t work.

      I started going bare when I was very young because it felt better for ME. Not because I thought guys might like it when I would start to have sex years later. I don’t fake orgasms either. My husband is exceptionally talented. I don’t automatically assume you’re a tree-hugging hippy, so don’t press assumptions on women that prefer some thing other than you do.

  • nitsuj

    body hair traps scent, so long as the woman is clean about their person, those scents (not manmade soaps etc) can be a huge turn on, at least to me. and visually, well, i can take or leave hairyish legs, and i have no objection to pit hair either, but i’m always happy to see a good generous well tended bush.

    i know that sounds a lot like gardening :o)

    mind you when all is said and done, if the person is nice, kind and good, who gives a shit what they’re like when it comes to body hair style :o)

  • Lex

    I am shocked that no one commented on your image of Priapos (and so very glad he didn’t get left out.)

    What a refreshing article. I’m in my 20s, and though I eschew “dude”s and “bro”s with as much dexterity as anyone in my age bracket possibly can, there is a tremendous amount of pressure to bear it bare — pressure I don’t give into, because the idea of shaving away my womanhood to please someone else is as ridiculous as it is offensive… BUT I’m thrilled to read some backup, and happy The Gloss posts this kind of material.

    Now, more importantly, do you know who painted that Orpheus?

    • Goldie

      Sister Wendy, is that you?!

  • Rusty

    There always seems to be a small group of fashion obsessed women (and some gay men) trying to ‘redefine’ what makes women attractive to men. This will never work.
    Disregard this article and take advice from the kinds of heterosexual men that you’re interested in. They’ll be more than willing to tell you :)

  • Jessica

    Hermes has obviously never read Bernice Bobs Her Hair.

    “Do you mean to say that men notice eyebrows?”

    “Yes–subconsciously.”

  • julien

    I like my girls clean shaven. Makes me wanna be down there for hours. No offense to those who don’t wanna maintain – but O-natural is kinda like licking a beard :(

    In contrast, It would be kinda like a girl going down on a man whose nob and shaft had hair growing out it. Where that the case – I would take care of the problem (somehow) – and not expect that a girl would go down on my chia – cock lol.

    • Goldie

      I feel bad for all those women you’ve been dating with hair growing out of their clits.

    • dan

      what type of women are you dealing with? Most women don’t have hair growing on the vulva parts. Who is licking hair anyway? YIKES!!!

  • Satan

    i have never seen a happier man in my entire life, than the one time i was sans partner for ages and ended up growing a bush, because i was lazy. when i finally did sleep with a guy, he did a “omg you have a bush!” happy dance.
    it was pretty awesome.

  • Laura

    I dont know why Americans seem to think that the French dont shave their armpits? Where has this idea come from, can someone enlighten me?
    They are probably the most image conscious, high maintenance nation, albeit classic and chic and I have never never seen a French person with armpit or leg hair.
    Also, Sugar, you shave it off in the Spring/Summer and let it grow back in the FALL??? Why? You start to feel the chill and need the extra layer?
    Great article, loved the bit likening landing strips or stylised pubic designs to goatees or soul patches!

    • Corrinne

      She may prefer it bare in warmer weather because gee, I don’t know- we generally wear less clothing when it is warmer out, like bathing suits. Really did not take a lot to figure that out. What is it with people being judgemental towards what women do with their own body hair? And most of the judgements come from other women. Women who go bare are not little girls, and women who don’t shave at all aren’t gross.

      Also, I never thought that about the French, but did about Germans. Only because my rich cousins had a german nanny one summer, she was in her early 20′s, and she didn’t shave her pits.

  • aet

    what is this article? the only acceptable places for hair on a woman is on her head and on her crotch (which should be maintained and trimmed)

    women expect men to groom, we expect no less from them.

    Hairy legs, armpits, facial hair on a woman is DISGUSTING, don’t fool yourself.

    • Louise

      ‘Women expect men to groom’ to a much lower standard. Men aren’t expected to wear makeup, pluck eyebrows, be 90% hair free.
      You expect no less from them. You expect much more.

    • CS

      Word, Louise. On the rare occasion that a man engages in “manscaping,” it’s pretty much always due to personal preference, since very very few women actually care about male body hair (unless it’s really out of control, like a hairy back – and even then, there are plenty of women who are into that, too). Men are not considered to be hippies or “disgusting” if they do not keep themselves to a socially-acceptable standard of attractiveness generally and hairlessness specifically. So really, aet, don’t play like this is all about “fairness” or that men are held to even slightly similar standards. You know they’re not.

  • camaro

    AMEN! Why exactly are MEN so busy? A job, house, kids, etc? I believe that would reflect most women I know if not even more so.

  • Jeff

    I don’t know what skewed bunch of “men” you surveyed, but I can guarantee you that a substantial majority would prefer no hair down there and at the very least on the armpits, legs and face. No, I am not a tool/douche/loser.

    • Jef

      That’s BS. Nothing’s nastier than a bald vag. I’ll bet any survey that isn’t centered around porn addicted americans would favor hair.

    • CS

      If you say so. The only guy I was ever with who had a problem with my pubic hair and wanted me to shave it was addicted to anime porn. When the main representation of “women” a guy has is drawings of teenage girls in schoolgirl uniforms from a country where showing pubic hair is illegal, it stands to reason that the natural state of a grown woman’s body would be strange and bewildering. I’ve had far more neutral to delighted reactions from partners over the fact that I don’t shave “down there.”

  • Jeff

    Look at it this way ladies – do you like licking hairy balls?

    Also, hairy vags smell worse. I shave, why shouldn’t you?

    • CS

      “Hairy vags” only smell worse if the woman attached doesn’t know how to wash herself. If someone doesn’t shower and clean themselves regularly, no amount of hair removal will fix that. Also, pubic hair exists for a reason – besides the fact that it traps pheromones, it also traps bacteria and other crud that can cause infections. What do you think smells worse, a clean, hairy vulva, or a smooth one with a nasty case of vaginosis?

      p.s. I do like licking hairy balls, as a matter of fact. Thanks for asking.

  • Jef

    My wife has hairy pits and legs and it’s all cool by me. The legs are especially nice because the hair is all grown out, so it never feels like sandpaper, and since she’s not naturally hairy like a guy, I almost never notice it. My hands definitely never notice it, and my eyes usually don’t either, even when she wears nylons.

  • S

    I was born in the early 80s, and I am barbwire-tat and spray-tan free. Most guys I know believe the following: pit hair is gross. I like smooth legs, but if you don’t get to shaving their every day or every few days, not the biggest deal. You don’t need to shave all the pubes, and it doesn’t need to be in a fancy design, but keep it trimmed. And bald or fancy designs are ok too. Most all women I know my age – independent, professional, strong women – generally stick to this pattern. This has been my experience living in the states and in Australia. Ladies, you can groom your bodies you want and shouldn’t feel compelled or pressured to do anything that you don’t like. But this is sounds like a weird group of guys who were questioned for this article. Also, having lived in France for a couple years, a significant portion of those women did not shave their armpits. Plus, it’s in Home Alone.

  • David

    I like shaved. Sorry, not a fan of picking hair out of my mouth. Like someone said below, do ladies like licking balls that are hairy??

    • Emily

      “ladies” dont like licking balls at all

    • balls

      sure, we’ll lick balls that are hairy.

  • foozlesprite

    I’m lucky to have found a guy that doesn’t care what I do with my body hair. I shave my pits to help keep odors away, but he likes my legs nice and soft and hairy. The only reason I ever shave my legs is for events where I have to expose my legs in public. I don’t want to, but I care too much about what people think about me. It’s sad, really.

    • Dr. Maximus

      @foozlesprite: “I’m lucky to have found a guy that doesn’t care what I do with my body hair. I shave my pits to help keep odors away, but he likes my legs nice and soft and hairy.

      You said it lady!! If you’re sooo ‘driven’ by what others think about you, it is sad, really sad!

  • ervybaby

    The picture of Virna Lisi for Esquire (1965) looks eerily like Michael Jackson.

  • kdub

    I had a conversation about pubic hair at dinner with friends the other night, but it started with a guy saying that he shaves everything down there to provide “a clean workspace”. I actually hate that look, men have hair, boys are hairless. I don’t want a boy. By the same regards every time I’ve tried shaving my own “workspace” completely bare I’m always alarmed when I go to the bathroom later, I wonder, wait, who invited the 10 year old, and then I remember, oh yes that’s right, that’s me, I forgot I did that.

    • Anne

      not to mention stubble burn down below – AAARGH!

  • CS

    I am loving all the comments from dudes who demand smooth-shaven ladies because “they don’t like hair in their mouths.”

    a) In my experience and the experience of plenty of other women I’ve talked to, most guys who are very insistent about women having no pubes don’t want to give oral anyway. Most guys in porn don’t, so why should they?

    b) If you do go down, you’re going to complain about a few tiny hairs in your mouths when women will be putting your (hopefully) much larger penises in theirs? LOL.

    • Hymn

      Difference is, you don’t have to hold hair out of the way when you’re putting a cock in your mouth unless the guy has a total forest down there – and a lot of guys trim. Logic fail.

  • Patricia

    Maybe because I’m french-brazilian, but waxing comes as a secon nature to me. I like the way my body looks and feels after being degorrilaed. Also, I’m not crazy about hairy men, so I understand men who don’t really enjoy it.
    Now, what truly pisses me off are men who demand women be hairfree when they wouldn’t let their junk get anywhere near a razor/wax/lawn mower.

    However, none of the men I know or the men I was with focused very much on it. They said vaguely “yeah, I’d rather girls trim it down there” but when it comes down to it they really couldn’t care less about it in light of the… hum… naked ladie on their bed.

  • Corrinne

    Dude, wtf, to the ladies, who insist on bashing women who go bare. Trust me, I do not look like a child. I do it for MYSELF because it feels better to me. I find having hair down there incredibly uncomfortable. I started shaving it all off way before any guy got near there. I was like 13 or 14. I had also never seen porn, or heard anyone talk about it. I just though “I shave my legs, why not this too?” Look, if you prefer going au natural, more power to you, that’s totally your choice. But stop insisting I look like a child, that sh!t is seriously starting to piss me off. I have some serious woman hips and a bum that rivals J-Lo. STFU.

    And I’ve had ONE UTI my entire life. Never any kind of other infection. We don’t run around in the wild naked anymore. I highly doubt pubic hair protects us from much of anything anymore. Women that go bare aren’t rife with infections. My husband wouldn’t care if I grew it out, but he definitely loves it the way it is too.

    • Anya

      Jeez, I know. I really wish this topic had not become so politicized. I just prefer the way hairless feels. Not every single decision I make about my own body is based upon what I think men think. Also, no one every accuses men who shave their faces of trying to look like little boys.

    • Hymn

      This, so much. I prefer to shave every part of my body – it makes me feel cleaner and more feminine, and furthermore, almost every lover I’ve had stated that they prefer it this way because it’s easier to give me oral. I’ve had one yeast infection, which anyone could get irregardless of whether or not they shave their goods.

      Also, like you, I don’t look like little girl. I have a classic hourglass body, big boobs, wide hips, and a big ass. No one would ever argue that I look like a child just because I shave my snatch.

      Fact is, everyone has to choose how they want to maintain their body. It’s up to them. I could care less what a guy thinks about whether or not I have hair. If he doesn’t like how I keep my body, he can go find someone else – simple as that.

  • Mike

    Im a 44 year old American guy who finds the sexiest part of a womans body to be her armpit, with just a hint of shadowing to it and I go crazy. Ok, where did this come from? I know exactly. I was 11 years old, in school, walked past an open classroom door and caught sight of the prettiest girl in the school, who was 13 at the time, leaning back in her chair with her arms extended, yawning I believe, and exposed her armpit which had just a hint of hair to it. I was hooked. I have forever been a fan of shadowed armpit. Oh, by the way, I own my own business, do well for myself, speak 4 languages and live in Europe. As for hair below, if there is none, well, I find this to be unattractive for my taste. I like about an inch wide landing strip… I keep myself groomed nice and neat. To each his own, no?

  • Dan Jennings

    I perfer my ladie’s vagina’s with hair. It’ kind of adds to the aroma and flavor, I think.

    • langer

      If you’re going to say something as foul as this the least you could do is spell it “flavour”.

    • Eileen

      @ langer What? Of all the spelling and grammar mistakes you could correct, you pick the one thing that’s just a difference between American and British spellings?

    • person

      If you want your ladies to stick around then you might want to use proper grammar… here is your sentence correct: ” I [prefer] my [ladies'] [vaginas] with hair. [It] kind of adds to the aroma and flavor, I think.

    • monty

      i was a 20 yoserviceman in cannes rance i met a girl at a USO club she was hairy pits, legs and her mons god it was s erotic to me i loved her sex scent back then the girls on thebeach were mostly shaved or trimmed.

  • Human

    I am more interested in finding out who they guys are in this article because they are certainly men I would love to date.

    • Gavin

      Sorry, but I’m already married! But if that doesn’t work out, maybe we could hook up?

  • Byron

    Many straight feminist men find female body hair sexy. They like or don’t mind armpit hair. But most straight men draw the line at leg hair. As long as it’s not very thick like a hairy man, I do like unshaved female legs, and I love female armpit hair. Very sexy on a slender feminine woman.

  • Byron

    female body hair is a big turn on! female armpit hair is very sexy. in particular on a slender woman.

  • Byron

    I know plenty of straight and bisexual guys who are turned on by unshaved female bodies. And it’s not really a “natural” thing. I’m not talking about unwashed hippies. It’s a sexual health and liberation thing. To me a shaved female body is a turn off. It is not only not sexy, it is kinda creepy. A shaved female body reminds me of a little pre pube girl who isn’t yet old enough to have body hair. And men who like a hairless female body are kinda weird to me. Why do they want to see a naked female body that looks too young to have hair on it?

  • Victoria

    Ok so let me get this straight-

    Women completely bare are reminiscent of little pre-pubescent girls. Women who don’t trim/shave are gross or dirty. And women who have landing strips or other “designs” are high-maintenance.

    Uh… alright I think I got it.

  • RUCHI

    @ CS: Absolutely! A hygienic body is anyday preferred to an unkempt one, irrespective of it being hairless or with a full-grown crop!!! ;) :)

  • Dan

    I love it when a woman is bald down south and I myself shave as well. After all I don’t want to have another round of flossing. Another reason to shave is that having a bunch of hairy gets all sweaty and nasty—no thanks.

  • MWA

    I prefer little to no hair “down there.” My preference isn’t driven by esthetics but by the fact that I love to eat pussy and I find it a MUCH more enjoyable pastime with no annoying hair in the way… besides, unless it’s fresh out of the shower (and even then sometimes) there is nearly always a remnant of odor I don’t necessarily find appealing. Fresh sweet smelling pussy is wonderful… pubic hair infused with the odor from various excretions of the last few hours…. not so much.

  • Anna

    It’s SO ridiculous. These guys should be grateful to have ANY woman – with hair or not! Oh, one doesn’t like the smell of secretions (mostly his) a few hours old? Poor baby!! Because that’s just what he is. The “remnant of odour” he refers to is brine and perfectly natural in a female. You say you like pussy but prefer it to be “sweet smelling?” You’re a victim of Madison Avenue. Seriously, get some therapy.

    • James

      @Anna He was just stating a preference. Relax. And unless you’re willing to admit that any woman who has a preference about men trimming should be grateful to have ANY man at all please don’t state the reverse. It’s trite and idiotic. And I doubt you’ll find a therapist to cure a man who simply prefers a shaven pussy.

    • Turd Ferguson

      Well, when your preferences are completely unrealistic, it probably is appropriate to seek some kind of professional help, or just stop having sex altogether.

  • John

    I prefer body hair on a woman. The fact is, if body hair were not natural it would not be there. I love armpit, vaginal and leg hair. It is a huge turn on to me. Also, all these men that say it is dirty must have never heard of soap and water. As for the scent, it’s there hair or no hair. Just a bit stronger smell with hair.
    And guys, Men are supposed to be pigs. We are not supposed to care and shaving is relitively new for women. Your mothers and grandmothers did not shave their genitalls and stopped shaving completely a lot of times in cold weather. And your great grand and great great grand mother did not shave at all. ARE THEY DIRTY? Of course not. So for those that are whining about body hair on women man up. IT IS NATURAL. And I was told by a woman doctor, a friend, hair on a womans genitals especially, is healthier.

    • Sweetdiculous

      The hair is actually meant to keep debris/ect from getting into your genitals. I guess that was nature’s way of helping us exist before clothing was invented. :P

  • anon

    Male here, 22 y/o, athletic+scholarly type and healthy etc. Not in any one stereotypical category per say. I do enjoy a natural woman who shaves very little of her pubes if at all. Rather have more than less. Not only does it smell awesome, but it looks awesome too. So enticing, womanly, etc. Represents a mature, sexually primed woman. Not some smart, inert little girl (which is what shaved invokes). Shaved is just boring and to anyone who says shit about flossing – guess what? Hair doesn’t grow on the lips, the clit, the hood, the vagina opening etc. Just be careful…it can happen, but the reality is it doesn’t and that shouldn’t deter anyone. I think the bush is coming back in style anyway, because if you happen to look at mainstream porn, mainstream erotica, many stars and celebrities are opting for more hair than less. It is coming back, the millenial obsession with shaved vag’s was only a trend, and it is reverting (look @ sasha grey in Entourage). Just a few years ago myself was duped into shaved look…we are socially constructed as men to want a shaved woman, and anything less is sick and something is wrong with you or your a hippy. This is not the case anymore, as woman with a thick bush represent sexually maturated and experienced woman who are great in bed and can still be themselves. It’s not just for hippies or feminists, it’s going back to mainstream baby! Once you go bush…well you know the rest!

  • MN Nice

    Hubby is from Germany; when we started sleeping together, I asked him which he preferred, shaved or not – my question only had to do with armpits & legs. I only asked out of curiosity, since I do shave. He was a bit taken aback, thought about it and told me, shave or don’t, no razor stubble. He’d never been with a woman who did shave legs/pits before and found it intriguing at first.

    Fast-forward 10 years – finally told me he likes shorter pubic hair. Hair yes, naturally long, no. Haven’t decided what to do, am considering it. Says he likes to have all of the sensitive parts more readily accessible.

    I stopped shaving my legs our 1st summer together, because we were hiking & camping so much. Who in the hell wants to shave with cold water in the forest? Rather than have chronic 1-week stubble, I just stopped for a year or so.

    I couldn’t bring myself to let my armpit hair grow out, it’s just a socialization issue. I actually found it disappointingly disturbing that I don’t mind leg hair, but armpit hair is sort of icky to me. I guess Society got to me more than I realized.

  • anonymous

    Male, married. Wife does not shave her body, period. She has hairs on her legs, armpit hairs and of course pubic area. Right from the start I told her if she wanted to shave or not shave, it was her choice and fine by me. I already knew she preferred to not shave.

    If she had a pelt, I would be fine with that.
    Before me she never dated a man with much body hair. I have lots, front and back. Now, she tells me she never knew what she was missing. The only problem I have is getting her to keep her hands off of me. No, that is not a problem.

    I believe we should each be able to be as we are. No stigma, no prejudice.

  • Gavin

    I wish my wife had more body hair. She does have nice pubes and usually nice armpit hair but I actually love a touch of nipple (areola) hair and a little treasure trail. I love the feel of pubic hair on my face while performing cunilingus. If I see a feint moustache on a woman, it makes me fantisize about how lucious her bush might be!

  • Russell

    I enjoy body hair on my girlfriend. We are highschool sweet hearts and twenty years later we are enjoying each of our bodies. My girlfrind at first was not a natural hairy girls. (In highschool) We had four play a lot. I asked her one night if I could shave her legs.She said yes. I let her shave my face.After awhile I asked her if I could shave other parts of her body.She said yes because she saw it made my penis very hard and big. I started to shave her female mustache,chin hairs, sideburns,boobs hairs, happy trail hairs, her pubic hairs,arms, legs,thighs,legs and butt. After awhile I started to see an increase in the amount of hair that grew back. I showed her in the mirror about her body hairs.The color was turning blond to dark brown/black and the hairs were growing more. I told her and asked if I could keep on shaving her body.She said yes because of my penis and she enjoyed the feeling. After awhile before I would shave her I would kiss her hairy body and she enjoyed the feeling.She told me it was a tickley feeling.I now shave my girlfriend once a week. I enjoy her body and she enjoyes that way I pamper her body. I tell her let the hairs grow and she will smile.I hope this is helpful.Thank you,R.T.T.

  • Howard

    I love female body hair! My wife will stop shaving for me during the winter months, but she obeys society’s rule during the summer months. I really like her hairy armpits by the time January rolls around and dread the arrival of spring. Nature put the hair there, why do we as a society insist in removing it?

    • Rex

      I agree. Would love to see my wife with armpit hair during the winter. I think if she stopped shaving for a week she would not want to start up again in the spring. She just needs to get past the first week

  • Stan

    I am happy to see this topic open for discussion.

    I am a professional, well-educated 44 year old man who finds women with body hair exceptionally attractive for a number of reasons. Women who do not conform to social expectations are almost always confident and confidence is attractive. Vanity and/or insecurity exemplified by an obsession with their appearance is very unattractive to me.

    Psychologists suggest that our sexual interests are largely shaped during puberty. I experienced this in the 70s I think my interest in natural women is partly a result of fashion during that era.

    I enjoying being with a confident, happy, natural woman not a pre-pubescent girl. There is something deeply disturbing with the ever-growing sexualization of young girls and I think the “fashion” of shaving (bald) one’s pubic area is part of this.

    I have been fortunate to be with several absolutely beautiful women who have not shaved and who have appreciated my support for them in their choice. Our connections were deeper and more meaningful by both of us being completely comfortable with our bodies.

    Many folks seem to think that hygiene is somehow enhanced by shaving. I think this is completely unfounded. From what I understand there is actually a considerably higher risk of staph infections, folliculitis, infected ingrown hairs and other medical concerns associated with shaving.

    I completely respect women including how they wish to present themselves. For what it’s worth I just want to let the women that may be reading this know, evidenced in part by the results of the study, that there are many kind, loving, intelligent men out there who respect your choice who prefer natural women who choose not to shave. Beauty shines from within.

  • ashes

    I am 23 years old, an recently I have not had the time orr desire to shave or wax. I am in a sexual relationship and my man says he doesn’t mind and he said that it’s sort of like he gets to experience me in another body since I’ve stopped shaving. I personally made the decision to not care about finding the time to remove my body hair in part due to my recent thoughts on the current vanity craze among women (fake asses, boobs, obsession with nmakeup, etc.) I believe that sexy is realness and natural just as much as the actual feeling of being turned on sexually is real and natural. I’m going to see how long I can go without shaving or waxing. Myy only reason I can think of why I would shave is because the summer months are near and I don’t think it is appropriate for younger little boys to see my pubic hair and get inappropriately turned on or sexually corrupted while I am showing off my body at the beach that I’ve been working hard all year to get. I apologize for any grammar or punctuation mistakes. My phone is acting weird and I cannot see what I’m typing!

    • Ashley Bradford

      I agree with you, but I would go further. I let my pubic hair and my underarm hair grow and do not consider shaving it. It is natural. Why does society have a problem with nature?

    • Patty Mayonaise

      If you don’t want to shave, don’t shave. If you want to, do it. It shouldn’t be about what other people want, it should be about what you want for yourself. Personally, I like having smooth armpits and legs, but I wouldn’t condemn anyone for choosing not to shave any part of their body.

    • dave

      Because society is imature

    • dave

      Ashes, let it all grow, be proud to show your body on the beach, hair and all. It is nobody elses business and certainly not something which should embarrass you.

  • Fool

    I don’t usually comment and it’s kinda late but here goes…

    FIRST OFF…you’re picture of “Zeus” is wrong. That’s actually Poseidon, the trident is just missing from his hand.

    SECOND… I am happily married and I’m au naturel, as is my husband. That’s not to say I haven’t been to the other side. Because I have. Shaved it all off – and I hated it. HATED. It was an awful sensation for me personally and I’m never doing it again. I’ve even heard of gynecologists forcing mothers to shave before birth…but I’m not aware of the scientific backing for that. If my husband shaved I would just laugh…he is the epitome of hyper-masculinity, what with the military and all, and he is oh-so satisfying. Meow.

  • Jennere

    I am a 50 ish male, and I absolutely love hair on females. Hairy bush and armpits is a huge turn on. I have felt this way since my early 20′s. I have had many sexual partners and can only think of a couple that had shaved armpits. There have been NONE with a shaved muff and I really don’t think I could handle that! I have seen enough porn to know that is is not a look I find at ALL appealing.
    I realise that I am possibly from a generation where things were different. My wife is Canadian and lets her lovely armpit hair grow in winter but as she teaches yoga and has to appear in leotards and present herself she does shave in spring and stays hairless till November or so.
    I have two teenage sons and they are totally APPALLED when they see her around the house or in the garden showing underam hair. They think it should ALL go.
    Its very sad indeed

  • unkown

    im sorry but i find it weird if a girl shave you look like a little kid

  • Jules

    Reading this and the comments have made me so happy. Unfortunately, being 22, I wonder if men of my generation feel the same way, as being clean shaven has been the norm for that long…

    • anon

      Definitely a lot of guys think bushes are sexy. I am one of them and a regular guy who used to envy the shaved women in HS. But I was conditioned that way from porn and friends etc. Hair was “gross” in highschool, for no apparent reason. I can’t tell you how ridiculously sexy a woman’s pubic hair is! It represents much more than meets the eye. It shapes a cup/V which signifies fertility etc. (I heard something like that from the Da Vinci Code movie with Tom Hanks) but it sounds about right!

    • Turd Ferguson

      Younger guys may like that now, but that just shows a lack of maturity on their part. They’ll eventually stop caring either way, or change their stance completely. I waxed for years, as in the full enchilada, and I always enjoyed that. But now as I approach my late-20s, I’ve started to not care as much. Keeping myself neat and tidy is still something I do, but I’m not as insecure about it as I used to be. At the end of the day, any (straight) man should just be glad he’s in the presence of a vagina instead of worrying about whether or not it’s hairy.

  • Laurie

    I prefer trimmed. I dont like the look of a large amount of hair and it gets in the way. Shaving causes alot of issues like itchiness, cuts, pain.

  • no name

    i hate pubic hair on my girlfriend. She’s clean down south. I love to eat wet ready pussy and i hate any thing like hair to stop the fun. Pubic hair doesn’t invite me to fuck her because my balls may touch them and i hate the feelin

    • dave

      How immature are you? Ladies throw away the razors, it will make you more sexy and confident , you will soon know the men from the boys.

      Real men prefer their women completely unshaved. Boys should grow up before they get near to a woman and leave the little girls alone.

  • Kate

    I am a lesbian and if you are getting a huge amount of hair in your mouth, you’re doing it wrong! I am fine with how her body is, as long as she has confidence. Besides to access all the awesome bits requires parting of the Labia Majora so your hair worries are no more! Women, in all shape and form are beautiful. It took me til 27 (last 6 months really) to come out and actually admit how beautiful I found women. If a boyfriend wants his girlfriend to wax/shave, he should be willing to also wax/shave his pubes, that way its even and he’ll soon discover how painful a brazilian is! Ladies, god you’re beautiful. Never forget it

    • Patricia

      Well said, totally agree!

    • Oman

      I think wax must be torture. I would not presume to tell my wife what to do but am glad she chooses to remove (shave) it. I like when it slides around on my clean-shaven face.

  • MD

    am begging my gf to grow her hair down there, she shaves everyday and i hate it, am a man who loves hair on his woman, am biased because am inlove she can have hair everywhere and i will still love her.
    but honestly i would love for her to grow it naturally, nothing beats nature thats what i say

    • http://www.facebook.com/robert.boyette.39 Robert Boyette

      women with out hair on their pubic area, well look like those blow up sex toys or little
      children, lets see hair not babies….butts trim? maybe

    • dave

      Yes your gf should throw away the razor and be proud to display her natural body hair. Why should any woman consider shaving?

  • anonymous

    As a 26 year old male, I find this article to be highly prejudice and ignorant. The people who she says prefer shaven vagina (bros, Ed Hardy wearers, and high schoolers) is completely imaginary, and is probably just her own prejudice stereotype.

    I am attracted to shaven vaginas for a variety of reasons. For one thing, body hair is considered masculine; the more body hair a man has, the more ‘manly’ he looks… and likewise, the more body hair a woman has, the more ‘manly’ she looks. Women shave their armpits because body hair is unattractive on women and makes them look masculine, and so they do the same to their vagina.

    Another reason women without body hair are more attractive is because it allows their partner to see more of their skin. It is well known that uncovering the skin is a sexual behavior, whether it is taking off clothes for a better look, or cutting away the hair that is in the way; making the contours of the body, especially the area between the hips more noticeable without the distraction of a chunk of hair makes the woman more visually pleasing in an artistic manner. Many classical oil painters would paint women in the nude without pubic hair because of the naturally pleasing aesthetic.

    One more thing is the feel of it. I do not like the coarse wiry feel of pubic hair, and I much rather prefer the smooth soft feel of a woman’s skin. I enjoy kissing a woman in that area, and when there is a lot of pubic hair, I feel like I’m making out with a wild animal.

    It would seem that this article is highly biased towards pubic hair on women, because it is written by a woman who has pubic hair and is either too lazy or too set in her ways to realize that it there are a plethora of good reasons to shave.

    To all the women out there who shave their vaginas, keep on keepin on! To all those who prefer a hairy vagina… YUCK!

    • Jordyn

      It has nothing to do with laziness when a women doesn’t shave her pubic hair. It has to do with the fact that its not only a major hassle but extremely painful. How about you shave your pubic hair so you can experience thousands of ingrown hairs, nonstop ichyness, and the feeling you’re being stabbed constantly with needles when it starts to grown back.

    • Oh Really?!!

      i am inclined to believe. this person here, belongs to the writer’s ‘prejudice group’ and i think he goes prepubescent him
      self.

    • youdipshit

      Right okay then, you can just walk around after its grown out and cope with the needles- also the ingrown hairs and the itchiness. I bet you’d love the feeling of a woman looking at your junk and saying “ew”. Next time you Fuck someone, shave your legs, your armpits, your ass, and pubes- then maybe you won’t look like a fucking hypocrite.

  • Talia

    Personally, I remove all my body hair because I prefer the sensation of smooth myself, but I absolutely **HATE** pubic hair on guys. It really, really disgusts me, I do like my men smooth and sleek all over, face included. I also prefer blond men, as their hair tends to be softer and less noticeable. Does this make me some sort of evil witch?? Has Calvin Klein and exposure to porn bred this preference into me? Or would I be hankering after sparser, paler haired younger men were we back in the stone age? Who knows. But hey, that’s life, we’re all different and frankly, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

    • Nick

      This just makes you an individual with your own individual likes and dislikes. If you want a hairless hunk then more power to you. Nothing is wrong at all with it all!! Although you might not want to go for clothing models, from the friends (well two people who introduced me to more people who all love to gossip) I know in the business not very many of them are into the ladies, if you catch my drift

      And on a side-note, technically you probably wouldn’t be going after blonde hairless men in the stone age. Whenever humans are put into a situation of survival your brain clicks to find mates that can provide what you are lacking. That’s why back in the heyday women loved fatter men, it was their instinct that kicked in their starving little brains and said “that’s a man who can give me what I need… Food”. This has been proving time and time again through out history. Which is why muscular men are desired now, in this day in age in the western world we are no longer naturally in great shape. It takes hard work and dedication, which your instincts kick in and say “this man is dedicated and can proved for me… mmmm look at those abs…”

  • santhosh Raj

    Hi,

    I am 25 years and I Prefer women underarms to be clean and If she has hair above the vigina its Ok.This is what my girlfrnds do and I really love this.

  • Beck

    This has defiantly made my insecurities of my body go waaay down seriously. I feel better about myself. I mean it human nature! Geez.

  • Muslim

    Just wanted to add my input from religious perspactive.

    In Islam the shaving of pubic hair as well as underarms is regulated. It is from the way of the prophet to shave at minimum every 40 days. The other hair of the body was not mentioned some islam scholars beleive it is forr biden to shave it and others beleive it is not allowed to shave it as it is from changing God creation which is forbiden. except for facial hair which is not allowed to shave according to the majority of the scholars of Islam (especially eyebrowns).

    Now my opinion on the body hair, and Im a female, is that it is attractive in most cases : I love natural in general. but honestly pubic and underarms need to be clean and not completly left wild :)

    • Muslim

      Sorry for all the mistakes I was in a rush but wanted to comment still !!

  • Alex

    I dont understand why u make it seem like only douchy teenagers can perfer a shaven woman and u also make it seem evil if u do. im a male and yes i am a teenager and yes i do prefer a girl i am sleeping with to have shaven pits and legs and at least maintain their pubic hair but i will not tell a woman to shave that is up to her however i find the hair to be a manly feature which i find to be undesireable. i shave my pubic har semi regularly but not to the point where im skin smooth and my parters have told me they prefer it that way.

    however i can see from alot of the comments that the older men do prefer hairy women but to be honest i thing that 3/4 of these people are speaking a bout a women whom they love and have been with for a while and thats just fine but i just want to point out that it is all about preference u cant just say that only one type of guys prefer shaven.

    sorry for rambling on. thanks.

  • Nick

    Okay, I just read this and a ton of the comments and there are a few things I need to say.
    A) Shame on the person for writing this in the first place. Negatively judging people for liking or disliking body hair is tantamount to judging someone for having a preference towards red heads, or someone with glasses, or men or women for that matter. It’s just plain out wrong to do. And then throwing in your own opinions as fact. As I saw no actual percents or numbers of any kind in this article I can assume that the “overwhelming” majority of men who don’t probably just said something along the lines of “She can, and has the right to, do whatever she wants with her body”.

    B) As I like to consider myself an “adult” (32, married, college educated, and proudly serving my country), I do find this as an intriguing topic. I think it is important for the author to have noted that however you like your body; shaved, unshaved, hairy armpits, chest, back, or face just find someone who likes you for that. Trust me there is really is your dream someone out there. (sorry for that little tangent) My wife and I have actually discussed this as of late, I prefer my own upper body to be clean of all hair, lack-there of my head, and my wife likes that. And she shaves her armpits and legs, and only trims her pubic hair, all of this I like. Now, even if she decided to grow all her hair out I would stop loving her or being with her, although there would be much teasing. And I this that is the big divide between the commenters and the author with the readers. If you are with someone 5 or 10 or 25 years you really stop caring so much about that kind of thing. Body hair/ insecurities stops really mattering at one point or another. BUT to all of those men/boys and women/girls who ARE single this does matter. But it matters in the sense of how being tall or blonde or bigger boned matters. It just is part of what makes you interested in someone or interesting to someone. I feel it is necessary for whoever you are to do to your own body what makes you most comfortable and confident, because at the end of the day if you feel good about yourself then that’s all that matters and confidence is what is going to get the gentlemen or ladies

  • Jeff

    I don’t really care one way or the other wheather women want hair or not. I just like to see it kept neat and trimmed. I love the female body.
    I will say years ago I wanted my wife to shave as it was the big thing to do. She refused to shave even after a lot of begging and pleading with her. I then thought maybe if I shaved she would too. So I shaved my pubes and loved the feel of a smooth groin. When she saw the shave she went nuts. She thought I was seeing another woman and wanted to know what was up. I just explained why and she still refused. That was ok with me as I was so comfortable with the smooth feel. For me it is the way to be. I shave my pubes, stomach and trim the rest of my body hair to keep it looking uniform. Now after all my wife’s complaining, she doesn’t want me to grow any of it back. It really doesn’t matter as I wouldn’t anyway.

    You silly person. I don’t disagree with you overall but I definitely disagree with you here.
    I don’t think you’ve noticed but in classic artistic nudes both make and female figures are hairless. Maybe because hair isn’t so in-your-face from a distance and it blends in with skin. Maybe it represents more. Maybe, like you said, they paint like that to show body contours better.
    Don’t justify this with that argument.
    I don’t believe hair is masculine. What the hell? That’s stupid. Just say you like your ladies waxed because of the smoothness. That’s all. What’s all this masculine talk about?
    So a waxed man is feminine?

    Be more mature people. Ladies, be confident the way you are. Stay trimmed. Stay clean. Use a Lavender scented lotion after every shower. I don’t see how that’s masculine or unsexy for any lady.
    If a guy wants you to look like a Victorias Secret model, well, tell him he needs to first look like an Armani model before he makes any demands.
    There are some really beautiful and understanding men out there. Just reach out to them honestly about your problems, and if it’s meant to be, both you will adjust. Remember, love is stronger than pubic hair.

    • Duh

      Female genitals and scented lotions don’t mix. You’re must be a man.

    • Sweetdiculous

      …. What kind of scented lotions do you use?

  • Jeffrey

    I’m a male 31 yrs old. My wife is a couple years younger and we live in Texas. She doesn’t shave her arms and has quite a bit of hair on them white/hispanic, but she does not have as much as me. In the winter she doesn’t shave her legs (my small request).

    I’ve always been amazed how natural a woman can look, however that doesn’t mean just cause a girl is hairy she’s sexy. And to some guys no girl that is hairy is…

    I’ve never met a guy like me but seen plenty of positive comments from across the globe on the internet mentioning hairy women.

    To me its a sign usually that they have a higher sex drive and its this sort of natural mutual feeling on the skin, making sex more body on body real.

    Shaved arms, legs, and etc look very weird to me however shaved arm pits do not. I could take sum fuzz there or either way.

    I think its very strange for men to find hairy women repulsive. We aren’t born with razors up our butts, it make me question the man’s sexuality. I mean women are women…right. Hair is just a sure sign that you’re a mammal. I’ve never been with a hairy woman and felt less of a man, I could see boys getting disgusted but men… I find it very odd.

  • Jeffrey

    Oh I almost forgot. One summer when I was working out a lot I started to shave my body. It seem like it was the norm and although I love hairy women, I could care less what men do or how I looked. BIG MISTAKE!

    My wife said I looked disgusting (when I shaved “everything”) yes everything

    Anyway she would not have sex with me till it grew back! I thought she was joking at first but she really meant it.

  • Nunia Bizness

    I find pubic hair to be a HUGE turn off.
    It reminds me of my grandma.
    I hate the way it feels on my hand, mouth, and my own junk.
    It causes friction burn.
    It holds in odors.

    I LOVE it the revealing look – huge turn on.
    I love the way it SKIN to SKIN feels.
    I’m not thinking of children when I’m standing in front of a naked woman!!!
    My wife does not shave and it is a HUGE turn off EVERY TIME!!

    I prefer women with shaved legs, armpits and a shaved genital zone, excluding the mount above which should still be trimmed. I’ve found that girls that arent like that, usually also fit into the mainstream girl population and isnt too weird to begin with. I like women who are women, that take care of themselves and are feminine and care about beauty and not “men with boobs” / careless types, though I applaud any selfreliance and taught a gf 3 yrs ago how to maintain her cars engine, bc she wanted to know! A girl I know atm built a wooden treehouse(near the ground though) for her 3 yo son but still had time to look feminine when going in public, whether dating/prof/kids’s days, and not just a jogging suit and letting herself go cause she had kids. Thats the kinda girl I wanna live with, cause it makes ME want to try harder as well and maintain my physique, it makes though 30 miles running a week worth it in the dark, cold rain and it makes working hard worth it to come home and spoil a gf like that. Just my 2c. Ask for quality but if you do, give quality.

    If you find a female beautiful, attractive, stunning, you are probably looking at her face, her body, her shape, if you are looking under her arms then that is rather strange. Live in the UK and women today seemed punished to shave, wax why ? I understand that if you are wearing a skirt shave your legs ok agree thats ok, but why the armpits when they are covered, virgina and ass. Men actually find female hair attractive, a turn on, but they care not to admit it as society says its wrong. When William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliett, Hamlet etc women were all natural, yes they had hairy legs, armpits, virginas and butts, he didnt differentiate between the female body and a small amount of hair he actually romanced it….. so whats wrong with it today guys ? its normal. I bet if a beautiful Italian woman took her clothes off to display a dark bush from the bottom of her spine to her naval, most guys here would still find her just as attractive, just follow your natural instinct, maybe Islam is right and democracy here is wrong, I dont know but I never complained whether she was a brunette or a redhead they are all beautiful

    fact: little girls have hairless pussies. sexually mature women have hair on their vaginas. stop driving the fuck little girl pussy trend.
    tell a woman if you love hair! we need to hear it! :)

    • A Girl, Sitting and Observing

      But some little girls have hair at age eight or nine. In fact, more little girls are starting that stage sooner. Does that mean they are sexually mature women? No. If you like your hair, please by all means, keep it. For others that do not like it or would prefer a bit less, you sound just like all the others telling them what to do. You should tell them to decide for themselves. One would assume with the name you picked you would not what to force people around, especially women.

    I have to say natural is best women shouldn’t have the need to impress her man by being shaven. That a guy would even think and judge a girl based on that shows he has zero respect for her, sexual preferences okay but judging based on being shaved or not just shows the guy has been reading to much playboy, they do understand everyone is their own individual person and worth just as much as them right?

    • micpickle

      I agree with your original comment, as I love natural. I am having problems with you saying a guy shouldn’t even think and judge a girl. Are you not judging someone by not excepting what they say they like. We are all entiled to our opinion and that doesn’t mean that their opinion is right, but they are entitled to it.

  • gurl

    while its comforting to know that men don’t mind women that have untamed body hair, i still know, do you find a women with less hair more attractive, due to what you have been exposed to? most girls, i mean women are exposed to this same idea, that a hairless smooth women is the most desirable, and of course we want to be desirable for you. anyway, i find that most women and girls are a lot more criticizing of other girls and women than most men. it’s so annoying. but in the end of the day, its all about your self esteem and confidence. if you are happy just the way you are, it will show, it will definitely show and you will attract those people that like you for exactly who you are.

    I am a guy and i love body hair on women…maybe they can shave off their armpits and vaginal hair but otherwise hair on every other area is fine…rather i love chest,arm and leg hairs on women….

  • Spirit Bear

    I’m a 47 year old man, I work in construction, and I love hairy women. The fuzzier the better. Hairy arms, armpits, legs, pubes, even nipples. Creator put the hair there for a reason, let it grow. (Hair helps to hold natural scent, which I also love.) Ladies, please stop shaving and be natural. :)

    • micpickle

      I agree with you 100%.

    • MasterGim

      make that three :)

  • Steve Jonas

    I find women who are naturally on the furry side are incredibly sexy! Women with hair on there arms are my favorite.

  • Ks

    I heard it is very dangerous to women to shave down there. I read in a magazine that a girl had to go to the emergency room to get a golf ball sized abscess treated.

  • micpickle

    I love women with hair. I love the natural scent of my girlfriends very hairy pussy. When I meet her she shaved it thinking that is what I liked. After we first had sex I told her I liked it hairy, as the natural scent is so very erotic, so she let it grow and ummmmm I love her natural pussy scent so much.

  • MasterGim

    I like girl fur I see no crime in not shaving the pubes, the armpits and legs I can have or not have but hair along the pussy is a turn on for me, I’d love to put my face and fingers in and on a girls bushy pussy as I have sex with her, the feel and the smell, also the feeling of my balls as they rub over her fur, then seeing the load I blow in her pussy slowly ooze out of her and get in her pubes, such a turn on for me

  • Lita

    Dear God! Reading the vast majority of these guys’ opinions made me nuts! Perhaps I simply have a much stronger aversion to my own body hair than does the average girl, but I find it funny that so many men are turned off or completely unswayed by the bald eagle. Kind of reeling here….give me a minute to process this craziness. O_o

    • Lita

      Oh, yeah! And waxing isn’t bad. It actually gives me a sense of relaxation and satisfaction when I have it done. ALSO the, “eight-year-old girl” reference is starting to get old. Unless hundreds of thousands of men are being duped into performing oral sex on attractive and clever Turner Syndrome sufferers, I feel as though there is likely more to a female sexual partner’s outward appearance to portray her age of sexual competency than the presence of pubic hair.

  • Samskara

    I’m offended by all the references to the female pubes as a ‘vagina’ by all the uninformed men in the comments. Now for a basic Biology 101, the vagina is up INSIDE the body. It is not visible. The Labia Majora is the part that is visible outside the body and the part on top is called the Pubic Mound or the Pubes. If a woman had a hairy vagina I’d say there was something wrong with her.

    Now on to the matter of to bare all or not to bare all. I think it should be left up to a woman to decide what is comfortable for her. I personally cannot stand to have hair on my legs, underarms or pubic region. It just feels wrong and what I like about the feeling of being without hair down there is it heightens the sexual feeling. The hair deadens the feeling and makes it difficult for me at least to enjoy the sex act. I also prefer to be bare down there to make it nicer for my partner. Also it is easier to keep clean.

    I do not believe a woman should be pressured into going without hair if she’s uncomfortable about it, but certainly it is up to her and her alone to decide that.

    I’ve been a baldy for years, but out of spite I’ve let my pubic hair grow non stop for over six months to rid myself of my boyfriend. You know he really hates the bush and I’m glad.

      Hahahahaha. touche! I started shaving about 10 yrs ago to please my long term partner- he never had the balls to tell me he likes bald for oral. Anyway I didn’t shave prior to that because Im not that hairy just a natural landing strip and growing up in the 70s & 80s the only girls that shaved had huge hairy twats. So in my mind shaving would be suggesting I was in that category too. i must say that i do prefer it bald now and in my experience girls pubic hair does not smell if she is clean, guys are either fucking dirty women or are off your heads – yes I’ve been down there too on quite a few in my youth.
