Yes, yes, yes for pubic hair! As you say, it thins naturally, and I don't think even needs trimming, but I support every woman's right to wear her hair -- wherever it grows -- as she wishes. I think the joy of friction is enhanced with the cushioning of pubic hair. I'm happy to read these other good reasons for not shaving/waxing. I think we're decorative just as we are, and I can't imagine any partner I'd want to have sex with saying, "Eeeuuuww, get rid of that pubic hair."

Thanks for always leading the world in juiciness, dear Betty!

Is the best fabric for underwear. You don't need elasticated legs that go right into your crotch and rub impurities into your pores. That can still happen at the elasticated waistline though. Polycottons with spandex added or acitate satins are the worst offenders. They make very sexy shiney and cheap lingerie but need lots of lace in the body of the design to breath. Wether you choose bare or hairy, wearing a skirt with no knickers is risky/ exiting but healthy :)

I've been shaved completely bald for about 11 years now. I LOVE my bald pussy!  LOVE IT!!! (and so does my hubby!). Nothing beats a smooth pussy in my opinion (I love the look and the feel).  I won't ever go back to having hair down there.

Dr Betty, I've heard of Dr Gibson's theory of pubic hair existing because it 'protects' the genitals, and find it hard to believe. First of all, children doubtless have far more delicate skin than adults, and they don't suffer any genital disorders or discomfort because they lack body hair. Second, hair itself, whether pubic or otherwise, isn't much protection against any kind of blow or abrasion. So provided people take precautions to prevent infection, there's no reason why we all shouldn't adopt the look we're most comfortable with.

Clothing that traps dirt and sweat against the skin  is the culpret. Pubes and under arm hair help though by creating an air gap. because it's air that allows the moistier and sweat to breathe away. Children usually wear cotton underwear not spandex or polyester. 

I totally agree, K.  I'm a baldy too. Nothing beats a smooth pussy!  My husband shaves as well. I love it. Smooth on smooth is definitely the way to go!!

No matter how someone chooses to wear their hair anywhere- what matters is that they do so because it pleases them, and that they know all the pros and cons.

Aesthetics can change over time, or they may stay the same. New health research comes out everyday. Your choice can change for a number of reasons. As long as someone wears their hair the way they like it, in free will- bald, bushy, trimmed, dyed, styled, whatever- it's ok. If anyone ever told me that they wouldn't get in bed with me because of how I choose to style my hair, I would leave immediately.

My boyfriend prefers a very close trim-to-shave on both of our bodies because he dislikes how rough and coarse pubic hair can get. I prefer a full bush on both of us (which feels better when I rub my clit against his pubic bone- especially if I'm on top), and trimmed around my labia and clitoris. Because we care for each other and want each other to enjoy sex, we meet in the middle. I trim my hair into a uniform length, and condition it to make it softer- it's my boyfriend's face between my legs, not mine! He trims it (but not quite as short as he would normaly), so that I don't get chafed from stubble, and still have a way to stimulate my clit when my hands are busy stabilizing myself. 

It all boils down to preferance, acceptance, and free will.

My wife has been shaved smooth for most of our 20 years of marriage.  She loves it too and so do I. She says she has never liked having bush and if we could afford it, she would have it permanently lasered off.  Recently, she got me to shave all mine off too. She loves my new look!  It took me a bit to get used to it (because it looked so different) but I really like it too.  She told me, "Once you go smooth, you won't want to go back." And she's right. My sensitivity is heightened for sure. And as someone else said "smooth on smooth is definitely the way to go!"  I think I'm going to be part of the baldy club for life!

I'm in agreement with you. As long as people know all the pros and cons, body hairstyle ls like anything else---an individual preference. I appreciate that you and your boyfriend have talked this issue over openly, and have reached a compromise that's acceptable to you both. If only we'd all do this with our partners all the time, in bed and out! Openness and caring are the keys to a lot of happiness.

I am no medical expert but surely if drops of urine et get caught in pubic hair this cannot be healthy?
I choose to be smooth and have been for over 15 years.  I don't do it for anyone else I do it for me.  To me it was a natural progression from removing underarm hair.  Again I do not do this as a fashion dictat I feel it looks and feels nicer.  I am sure underarm hair is one of the things that can cause men to smell and I don't want to join their club.!
Oral feels better this way too; it increases sensitivity!  Forme it's nicer from the receiving pointof you and from giving with another woman.  So for me bald is the way to be.  And if  men want to join us smothies, good like to them!

I'm also no medical expert, but (healthy) urine is sterile so I don't think that's anything to worry about. On a kind of related note I think we live in an overly sanitised culture now anyway.

I agree that it's each to their own. I removed all my pubic hair once and it freaked me out. For me personally I looked down and felt like a child, which didn't make me feel sexy. I do however like the feeling of smooth outer labia, so I found my happy medium of keeping that area hairless and leaving tidy hair on the mons area. This is what works best for me, and what makes me feel most sexy and womanly, so that's what I do. As long as people are doing what makes them feel comfortable and happy, and aren't feeling societal pressure to do one thing or another, then it's all good.
