A CLOSE SHAVE

A CLOSE SHAVE



Shaving pubic hair dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Scientists are unclear what purpose public hair serves. Some scientists argue that, since the apocrine sweat glands in the pubic hair region produce pheromones, pubic hair traps these pheromones to make the person more attractive to potential sexual partners.

Do you shave?
If so, what do you shave and why?
Do you prefer your sexual partners to be shaved? And if so, what do you like them to shave?


Apart from shaving stubble on my chin etc, I do not shave. I’m not a very hairy person; I could go a few days without shaving and no one would notice much difference! Otherwise, I am au naturelle. I also like the au naturelle look on others.

Below is an article written by a doctor on the dangers of shaving pubic hair.
_________________________________________________________
The war on pubic hair must end

by Emily Gibson, MD

I must have missed the declaration of war on pubic hair.
It must have happened sometime in the last decade because the amount of time, energy, money and emotion both genders spend on abolishing every hair from their genitals is astronomical. The genital hair removal industry, including medical professionals who advertise their specialty services to those seeking the “clean and bare” look, is exponentially growing.

But why pick on the lowly pubic hair? A few sociological theories suggest it has to do with cultural trends spawned by bikinis and thongs, certain hairless actors and actresses, a desire to return to childhood, a misguided attempt at hygiene or being more attractive to a partner. Surely human beings are not so naïve as to be susceptible to fashion trends and biases.

It is a sadly misconceived war. Long ago surgeons figured out that shaving a body part prior to surgery actually increased rather than decreased surgical site infections. No matter what expensive and complex weapons are used—razor blades, electric shavers, tweezers, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis—hair, like crab grass, always grows back and eventually wins. In the mean time, the skin suffers the effects of the scorched battlefield.

Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles left behind, leaving microscopic open wounds. Rather than suffering a comparison to a bristle brush, frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest of bacterial pathogens, namely group A streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus and its recently mutated cousin methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA). There is an increase in staph boils and abscesses, necessitating incisions to drain the infection, resulting in scarring that can be significant. It is not at all unusual to find pustules and other hair follicle inflammation papules on shaved genitals.

Additionally, I’ve seen cellulitis (soft tissue bacterial infection without abscess) of the scrotum, labia and penis from spread of bacteria from shaving or from sexual contact with strep or staph bacteria from a partner’s skin.

Some clinicians are finding that freshly shaved pubic areas and genitals are also more vulnerable to herpes infections due to the microscopic wounds being exposed to virus carried by mouth or genitals. It follows that there may be vulnerability to spread of other STIs as well.

Pubic hair does have a purpose, providing cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury, protection from bacteria and other unwanted pathogens, and is the visible result of long awaited adolescent hormones, certainly nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.

It is time to declare a truce in the war on pubic hair, and allow it to stay right where it belongs. We owe it to our patients to encourage them to let it be.

I shaved my pubic area a long time ago, Now I trim.
I used to shave the wife all the time, now she just wants a close trim. I even trimed her on Saturday past.

I used a cream depilatory on my nether regions, just recently; because it is lower maintenance than shaving. Then, I remembered, it is WAXING which is lower maintenance.

Sadly, no one to pay for my waxing. Again, sadly, no one to enjoy it.

Such is life.

Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

No way ... it is natural all the way for me.
And I also prefer men to be natural as well (obviously ... which was why I decided to start the NPC group ... lol).

I think there is nothing sexier than pubic hair ... the look, the feel, the smell.
OMG ... it drives me nuts.

My opinion ... I think that both men and women look really silly without pubic hair ... and I don't understand the reasoning behind it at all. Are they trying to reclaim their childhood or something?

I haven't shaved for five days now and hardly anyone has noticed!

    I'm of two minds on this issue,....there have been times that i have thoroughly enjoyed a shaven pussy,.....and other times, I crave for a bush. I do shave my balls, and keep the top trim and short, purely for aesthetics!. ahhhh....choices choices choices,.....we all have that freedom.....dont we?
Sometimes it seems there are too many choices to make!

I had my pubes shaved by a burly female matron some 16 yrs ago when I had the snip, I liked the smooth feel so much, that ever since I have kept my nether regions hair free. My sexy partner is the same, although for a different reason and I prefer it that way. I don't recollect you complaining about her lack of being "au naturelle" Mr S, LOL
