Question: Is it gross not to shave down there? I’m a virgin and I’m not planning on having sex any time soon but I was just curious–do more girls/women keep it or get rid of it?

I don’t think that its very attractive at all to shave down there, and I think its actually a silly idea. If you’re worried that your bf won’t like it, and if he doesn’t, then it’s totally his loss. I trim my hair about twice a month and shave around the edges (I don’t like it peeking out from around my underwear, especially when I’m dressing down for P.E.), but I definitely don’t shave it all. And it always itches afterwards, so I don’t shave unless I really want to. However, because my hair is so thick and curly, I do trim it. Otherwise it gets thick and matted and becomes an overall mess (especially during my period….ewwwww…) So trimming works for me, not shaving. Hope this helps!
This is really helpful! I was always curious about this. Personally I’m afraid to shave so I only trim. Im not going to have sex any time soon but I really want to know if a guy is really bothered by it. In most of the comments girls just assumed guys thought it was really gross. I wanna know for real.
Not all guys, some actually prefer women unshaven. The majority of guys here in the U.S.A prefer clean shaven though.
i don’t groom down there at all. sometimes i’ll trim but never shave. alot of people would think that’s gross, but it’s my personal choice. it doesn’t bother me or my bf so whatever
I only trim, keep it small. I think it's more disgusting to completely shave, than to not shave at all. I mean… it looks like a child's vagina to have no hair. And any guy who prefers to have a hairless woman has got to be a borderline pedophilic pervert.
Whatever makes you happy is what you should do. However if you want my tongue, lips and mouth slipping and sliding across that pink, moist skin, you’ll have to sacrifice some hair because it’s about what “I” like, not what makes you feel more feminine!
It is your vagina, and you wear your hair down there just like you wear the hair on your head – however you want it and whatever you think looks good.
I personally shave down there, but not everyday because its really impossible to shave it right after and get all the stubble without irritation and missing hairs. The trick is, shave with conditioner (I use suave because you get a lot for a cheap price, I think its like 2 dollars ish at walmart). Make sure to use a lot of it when you shave, dont skimp. Never shave dry or with soap. Then after I put on a non scented lotion, its cetaphil (I love the brand its great if you have sensitive/acne prone skin). And then I wear loose pj bottoms and no panties. The no panties helps you from getting ingrown hairs and razor burn (because the panties hold in heat, moisture, and cause friction). Do that for 2 to 3 nights after you shave and you'll be fine. Its a personal prefence, my mom doesnt shave (which is eh to me) but me and sister do. I personally find it sexier and I like the smooth instead of hair. I only shave when it gets too hairy (which is 2 weeks-ish or so). I'm not sexually active so its mostly just for me. If I Was I'd probably shave more offen. I dont think its conforming or anything. Its a preference. So we're suppose to have hair done there?…well if we didnt brush our teeth they would be nasty right? I shave up and am very careful. If your a first timer try to shave on the toliet. It will help you, then when your comfy move to standing and doing it in the shower. Do it slowly and make sure to keep your skin moist with conditioner. I do get ingrown hairs few and far between. Hope this helps
It all depends on the person and the guy/bf. If I were single, I would not do it as often. But since I like to look groomed downthere I do it often. I don't think its gross to be have pubic hair, but i think it's more convenient to be shaved only when you're receiving oral sex, just bc it won't get on the way and/or the guy/bf won't feel uncomfortable. Other than that, I prefer to have it short, since it does get itchy when it starts to grow back until a certain point.
I think it's gross to shave down there. We are supposed to have pubic hair, it's natural. The idea that it's disgusting is just a stupid social convention, most likely thought up by men. If I was with a guy and he got all upset because I don't shave then I'd ditch him, because someone who thinks like that just isn't worth it.
If you're not really bothered about having body hair and you just want to shave because you think it's normal, then you shouldn't do it. Why be a conformist?
My philosophy regarding body hair: If you're not showing, don't bother shaving. I personally never shave down there. I tried once and it itched somethin' awful, and who cares if someone thinks it's gross? It's your own decision to make.
Ii Wanna Finger Myself Bhudd With The Hair It Feels Akward So What Do Ii Do To Make It Feel Good
heyy i have the same problem. i think im going to start shaving soon . im sure that will make everything less awkward (y)
its grossss, hair is Groooooooooooooss.
its not that bad. and u get used to it.. but the red bumbs suckk! but they go away.. i shave mine the wait a while then do it once it starts to get bad instead of constantly doing it. im a virgin btw!
Yeah, well, it's all a matter of your perspective on the subject. I mean, if you want to conform and shave like a large chunk of the population, that's up to you. I did the same. But personally, I think it would have been easier not to. It hurts pretty bad and the first time you shave, it's incredibly uncomfortable and itchy. It gets better the more you do it, though.
Of course, it's a lot easier to deal with bathing suits and whatnot instead of worrying about popping out all over the place.
Basically it's up to you, not anyone else. I personally don't think guys care, I mean, obviously if they're seeing down there they could care less about that sort of thing, they probably just wanted to get in your pants and now that they got what they wanted it doesn't matter… but it all depends.
Uncomfortable unattractive itchy red bumps or a thick jungle of nastiness…
Decisions decisions….

People think its too much work & complains cus it grows back. if yue can shave your legs why not there too ? i shave everything and when i say everything i mean legs armpits arms downthere & my tummy. lol i cum from a hairy family & i personally think its disgustin to have hair anywhere. but thts just my opinion =D
i think it's gross and i'm a virgin too, but i hate pubic hair so i shave cuz it can make u sweat which will make u stink…that's so nasty…
okay so its not hard to shave down there at all.
make sure you use shaving cream , cause if not it will feel uncomfortable,
also if your hair is really long, trim it first, cause the longer it is, the harder it is to shave.
so lather up, and just shave normally, against the growth of hair, if it hurts to much than go with the grow, however you wont get as clean a shave. Make sure your razor is sharp, you dont want to get ingrown hairs from using a dull razor
oh, and cream after!
ok so i know this sounds soo stupid but ive never done it and i dont know how help!!!
my cute guy friend wants me to have sex with him i said no now hes ask can he finger me i said yes and he did it it felt so good now i want to have sex wit him wat do i do
