I'm really into girls shaving their pubic hair, and i'm really intrigued as to why you started shaving your pubes? Was it persistant nagging from your boyfriend, because your mates did it, saw it in porn etc? How old were you and did you masterbate during / after the first time you shaved? bigboy1980
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hygiene, AND I LIKE THE FEEL
I'm sure hyigen has just as much to do with it as awful spelling and grammatical errors- which is not a lot But on a serious not, think of your own armpits. They smell, right?
Originally I just trimmed up, but started shaving for an ex (although I hate the sharp needle-y feel of the area just above my slit :/). But yeah, it can trap odors and it looks nicer in a swimsuit or panties in general.
Pubes purpose is to waft your odor and pheromones on to possible mates. If you wash yourself I don't see the problem. Same with getting your foreskin cut off. People say they do that for hygiene too. How about wash your dick?
when i was a teenager i shaved all the time, and i think i started because i saw it in porn and thought it was expected and more acceptable than letting my hair grow. i don't anymore because i find there are more reasons for me to keep it than to shave it i love having a bush and i don't think i'll ever go back to shaving it all off regularly as far as hygiene goes.. if you take care of your body you will be fine. everyone's scents are unique, some will turn you off or on, it's based on your/their genetics
^^sidney, the variations in one's personal scents may be due to that but i meant variations across the species
I don't think hygiene was ever an issue- natural pussy is clean if you keep it that way. Although, having a bush and waking up to a tangled bloody mess if you've come on in the night isn't very nice. However, I've shaved as far back as I can remember. I picked up a razor pretty early, mainly because I was happy with it smooth and I didn't want/need hair there. There have been a couple of occasions where I've let it grow but I've never managed to go very long without shaving it, I like to keep it up. Smooth is sooo nice! I can't think back to the first time I did it to answer the masturbation part of the question but generally I've never frigged during. I don't find shaving my pussy sexy at all. But running a hand over it afterwards when it's freshly smooth is lovely.
