Not all women shave and not all men want them to. I guess it's just preference.. some men like a shaved cha cha and some men like a furry one. They probably just think it's cleaner. I shave because I want to, I feel more comfortable that way. Not because I think a man might like it better that way.. I respect the fact that some women don't shave because they feel more comfortable natural.

I do because I think it is better hygene, and my fiance preferes it that way.

I shave because that's just what I like to do. I like the way it looks and I think it looks neater. I think really it just comes down to your personal preference.

Shaving enhances my sensations and makes "playing" more fun for me and my partner. It just feels better. The upkeep can be a little time consuming though.

Personally I am indifferent, but some may shave their vaginas for sensitivity, others might because they think it looks good, others might because they think men think it looks good... If its the third option we get into a trend where men and women think they are supposed to think it looks, regardless of what they actually think!

I don't completely shave,but I do keep well groomed.I know my husband isn't into the "completely shaved" look. There are men who don't like that because they want a woman to look like a "woman" in that area,not a little girl.I've heard many men make this statement. Plus,for me,we should keep a little bit of hair there for hygiene reasons. It is there to help prevent infections.For me,I shave because it's better for me during intimacy.

I like when my wife trims and leave a little hair, I gives me more skin sensation (which is better than hair sensation) and it makes it easier to handle.

Women shave because men think it looks good (and tastes good :-) The hair absorbs "odors" and makes oral unpleasant for finicky men. Also, less hair to get stuck between his teeth which can be unpleasant.

I don't know what the draw is. I am always well kept, but not shaved most of the time; I do it sometimes. I won't say it's any cleaner... I won't use shaving as an excuse for less finicky bathing habits... If it's clean, it's good shaved or not. It doesn't make anything any more sensitive to me. About the only differencs I know of is that When I shave... it itches like an SOB!

well i shave because it is unconfortable to have alot of hair down there. it is very nasty to me because woman are not supposed to have hair in places like that. im not gonna say that i think my vagina looks better shaved because i think vaginas are ugly things no matter how they are put, but its a female thing and plus i would like my man to be able to find my clitoris when he wants to play with it. its a good feeling and my my boyfriends really likes it like that because he loves how pink my vagina is...

I like a woman to be shaved because it enhances the experience when I go down on her. I love to feel her smooth skin as I lick her clit. I arouses me and that makes me want her to enjoy the experience even more.

First off no one shaves their vaginas. Your Vagina is an internal part of the body. What you are referring to is your vulva to be more exact your outer labia. It is really quite sad how many women don't know the correct terms for their own anatomy. Thank you mom for not being a prude! Anyway, there are lots of reasons to shave down. One could be shaving for aesthetic reasons or for cleanliness. My hubby and I both like it furry and smooth. It depends on my mood. I alternate between the two. I must say though that it is easier to keep clean without the hair. If you are asking because you want to know what to do with yourself, do what ever you are most comfortable with. From my experience guys like it both ways.

Vaginas are the internal genital tract of a female, they do not have hair. A well groomed pubic region is pleasing to the male eyes as well as the male tongue should he decide to perform oral sex on the female.

I shave because it looks cleaner, and is cleaner - hair can gather particles of sweat, urine, bacteria, and it is easier to keep clean when I'm having a period. Labial skin is very soft and sensitive to touch, particularly when the hair is removed. I find it easier to become aroused and enjoy oral sex when I am shaved (which can sometimes hurt if he accidentally pulls the hair out). I like the feeling of being silky smooth there when I walk around during the daytime. I personally think that shaved all over looks like kiddy porn, and only shave the labia and perianal regions, leaving a trimmed bush above.

I like it just because it makes it easier for me to clean it, and I feel more sexy with it like this.

As I've said here before; I absolutely LOVE "going down" and it's nice to not get a mouthful of 'floss'. a good friend of mine insists on a "landing strip" but he can't stand it bald. I just love the smooth feeling on my face, tongue, etc.

I don't shave my vagina. Are you high or just ignorant of anatomy? I don't know of anyone who sticks a razor or other cutting device inside their vagina. I know people who shave/trim their pubic hair. Personally, prefer waxing. I think men like someone groomed (I know I like someone groomed), but this isn't why I do it. I do it for myself, as I think it is more hygienic.

I shave my vagina because I think it looks cuter in sexy underwear when there is not hair everywhere hanging on the outside of the underwear and I also think that men like it because my boyfriend has braces and when he goes down on me I know he doesn't want to be getting my pubic hair in his braces and what not.... also Guys if you wanted your girl to suck or lick your balls I think she would be more willing if you shave them. Try it and see

Wow, there are three of you nit pickers. Though, the vagina is a simple way for everyone to fallow the conversation. I work with weapons and don't jump on people for saying "clip" when they mean magazine. We all know what Hug was asking. Stop being snide. P.S. I also have a degree in massage therapy so, we can have a go at anatomy to if you want to continue trying to show how smart you are. Read Redrum's comment you'll notice good use of anatomy terms without the high and oh, I know so much attitude. If you are intelligent your answer will prove it. If you have to point it out, it simply proves you have some compensation issues. As for my answer I enjoy most hair cuts. One style of flower for all would be boring. It's all good that tastes good.

I've tried it both ways. I personally have EXTREMELY sensitive skin so really shaving is not an option for me. After experimenting, I realized that I prefer to have hair because I just feel more natural that way : ) (like so many of you eloquent ladies pointed out) You shouldn't shave or not shave based on what your man (or woman) prefers because it's your body. However, I do believe that if you choose to keep hair on your vulva, then you must be responsible for the upkeep. Just be considerate because no one wants to go down on a forest. I recommend that when trimming the tree, use a sharp razor designed for the pubic region and always shave in the direction that the hair grows. Also, it's important at times to cut the hair so nothing grows too long. When cutting hair closer to the lower labia, be sure to NOT cut the hair so it's parallel because it will cause friction when having sex. Cutting the hair parallel can irritate your man's skin so always cut at an angle.

It looks alot more feminine. I think its extremly unnattractive when there is hair down there. It should be clean shaven and soft to touch. :)

Perhaps, a woman shaves because it makes her look more virginal and childlike, and perhaps many men find this attractive? Personally I think its perverted and think real women have grass on the pitch!

lol, i dont think it is perverted at all. It is something feminine. And there is nothing wrong if a male is attracted to this, as some are attracted to many different things. Its a preference. There is nothing gross or "childlike" about it. You can be a real women and be completly shaven down there. Its more attractive also when you wear nice lingerie or a bikini and you dont have to worry about having hair sticking out at the sides

I shave becouse my man likes it and I am a feminist. The fact of the matter is that it turns a man on and I thought the objective of sex was to turn your partner on and a shaved vagina (we latinas like the landing strip) is an easy way to do it ;) without lowering your standards and self respect.

It is a wondeful question- I am a 36 yr old male that loves a woman who is unshaven and full in her privates. I think it really started when porn became more mainstream in the early 80's. VCR's made porn much more accessible to men who generally watch it a very high level. The porn actress's started trimmming and then by the early to mid 90's started shaving it all down. Men saw this and thought that is the way their mate should look--or women in general. Remember prior to this time women rarely shaved their vaginas---you can see from all the pics of women back prior to the early 80's. I have had this discussion with my uncle who is in his 60's and completely agrees. The hair holds the natural scent of a woman and her pheremones--when women shave they get stubble ingrowns and can be more prone to infection--a friend of mine is a gyno and she told me this--- The hair can stimulate the penis and feels so much sexier during sex--women feel so as well. I have talked with some of my female friends and they say the stubble can make sex uncomfortable. This is just my take :)

The reason for shaving pubic hair today (for both men and women) is the effect of the pornographic industry and it's influence on mainstream media (television, magazines, internet, etc.). In other words, whether they like pornography or not, people are influenced by it's asthetic conventions. This is not to say that the shaving of pubic hair is entirely without merrit as there can be a certain (albeit shortlived) novelty. The irony however, is that body hair removal was intended to enhance to look - not the feel - of sexual performance. In an industry where the picture is everything, the idea of shaving is to reveal more of the "action" to the camera. People view the "image" as exciting and attept to emulate this excitement for themselves. In real life, shaving your body hair (especially coarse pubic hair) incurs a list of problems: dry skin, ingrown hairs, itchiness, abrasive stubble occationally precipitating a painful rash. It's tempting to say that people today are brainwashed into this peference but that is not entirely accurate. After all, there is no anti-hair adjenda. People make their own choices often based on the fashion of the time. As always, it's important to be true to ourselves and what we are comfortable with. Speaking from personal experience, a sensibly trimmed bikini line is not only more comfortable in the long run but is by definition "sexier" than being totally shaven. This is because pubic hair, like breast development and decended testicles is a hallmark of sexual maturity and thereby desirableness.

Vaginas are internal structures with a mucosal lining, and do not bear hair. Women remove hair from their vulva, perineum, peri-anal area and pubic area to give those areas a cleaner look and a smoother feel.

Shaving the pubic region has to be the most insane social “trend” I have ever seen. It is an almost scary “fetish”. How can a man get aroused by a pre-pubescent looking genital area on a woman? When I see an adult woman with a bald vagina, it literally turns me off! Guys, it is completely beyond me how this turns you on!

It comes down to personal choice. I personally prefer a trimmed or shaven / waxed pussy to play with, you dont get a mouth full of hair. Many women have also said it makes them feel sexier and icreases sensations. So if girls like it, great it is their choice.

It's Clean and we can enjoy your Love Juices better...

They shave it because they don't accept maturity. They want to look like a child. that's why I hate shaved genital. I don't feel attraction to little girls.

I am 17 and I have never felt this overwelmed about shaving anywhere near there. I shave everywhere else that's commonly needed, but it depresses me that it seems almost like a new fashion trend to do this and I feel like pretty much everyone does it now. I know my boyfriend would love me no matter what, and we are not anywhere near sexualy active yet, but I feel bad that he would just settle for me when it seems not so attractive? I am afraid to even try it once because if I mess up and decide it was a mistake it'll grow back thicker am I correct? just like hair on legs? Also I'm never patient with a razor I constantly cut my legs so I don't think i'd be able to do anything to prevent it. I know people are supposed to be posting answers but i'd like to just share my feelings on the subject if that's okay to the world's eyes. another note i'd like to add in is guys who refuse to shave their penis but think it's disgusting when a girl won't shave their parts. I think that really is sexest. I understand not all men are like that but I just remember reading a blog one day that some guy responded to something like this.

Women these days do it for reasons of cleanliness. A shaved vulva is clean. With so many swimsuits getting smaller, women were shaving most of their pubic hair anyway; why nott all of it. Men say they like the eroticism of seeing labia and clitoris and, with oral sex, it is so much more pleasant for the man and woman (more sensitivity means more orgasms).
