was wondering how many bi's shave down there and for what reason. personaly i shave my hairy butt, because it makes it more sensitive and others seem to like it. was just curious how many shave down there what they shave and why? for others, themselves, looks, designs ect... or maby it's more hygenetic?

All of the above and we both shave. On the hygenic front, we like to be shaved because we feel we can more easily/comfortably clean ourselves, which translates into us feeling cleaner overall. Especially with Her in regard to her period. Aesthetically, we both like the way it looks on ourselves and most people out there touching other folks really don't mind shaved bits, heh.
When we shave Her, we definitely shave the lips of her pussy, thighs and below into her ass. Sometimes we'll leave some of what's grown on the pudenda (trimming it down, though) because we do like hair every now and again and do enjoy it on partners that don't shave (as long as they trim or something to get rid of 'stray hairs' that may end up in someone's mouth during play).
The Male occasionally enjoys treating his cock kind of like a bonsai tree and changing up what he does down there as far as trimming/shaving goes. So, when we shave Him, if we're not going for some kind of design (which always gets put just above the base of the cock but at the bottom of the 'happy trail') then we shave him completely from happy trail on down. We do his cock, balls, thighs and ass as well. :)

I wanted to tell you what i think about this. Well i use to shave down there for the hubby because he likes it alot. I don't like it because it takes forever to do it and when you cut yourself it really sucks. I really like it that way but i don't like to have to shave every day. I just don't have that much time to be able to put that into it. Some people may call me lazy but i'm really picky so it would take me up to two hours to do it because you have to have mirrors and stuff like that. so now i trim it and i think that that is just as good. Sorry that i'm not that much help lil bit

It may be a generational thing but I find hair very sexy. Natural without stubble. Erotically charged with scent and style and color and personality...like on your head

I used to shave and like lil bit, it became far too much of a chore to do it daily. Add to that the intense itching when the hair began growing back in. I really couldn't shave every day because even though I had little stubble growing in it simply wasn't long enough to shave.
I've been seriously playing with the idea of a Brazillian with a nice, neat little racing stripe. I just don't know if I could deal with the pain. After all, that's a tender little bit down there.

We both shave. Yeah it can be a pain in the ass but it is so erotic to feel that smoothness. Hair doesn't bother us as long as it is trimmed but for us smooth. Let me know how the Brazilian goes maybe I will switch to that instead of shaving ;) .

I don't shave my pubes smooth, but I trim very close-cropped with an electric trimmer. I do shave my balls smooth though. I just like it this way; and so does my wife. She loves me, but not all of my hair.
I also trim closely around my "pucker"---for aesthetic as well as hygeine reasons.(it also helps to improve the sensations when getting rimmed).
I am extremely hairy everywhere else on my body, so this little bit of "manscaping" is not a big problem and helps to keep things a little cleaner/manageable---particularly for oral fun.

I have shaved a couple of times and it felt great but I didn't like the look. Now I pluck my shaft, balls, and any areas that grow long hairs other than the pubes. I know, everyone says it's too painful, but it's really not that bad. It's not possible to get the root on every hair but it does grow back finer when I do. It takes me a couple of hours but I sometimes do it over several days. I usually do my plucking in front of the tv and just take my time and have fun.

We are both shaved below and we love it. No pubic hair in our teeth after oral, nice and extra-sensitive when touched.........It is a bit of a nuisance to maintain, but it is WELL worth it. Especially when it comes time for the "inspection" process. ;)

Shave it all... nothing feels better than taking the time to shave every nook and cranny. It not only makes me feel cleaner it is more stimulating to the touch. I personally use a quality razor and shave gel (gillette multishave) followed by Vitamin E oil or sensitive skin after shave. Feel fresh all day. :bigrin:

I have been shaving my cock, balls, and ass for over 10 years. I love the feel of it in my silks and my thongs. My lovers also shave their pubes too.

I enjoy a nice clean shave myself but some mornings I'm running a bit late so I have to shave in the car using the rear view mirror. Isn't it interesting the looks you get from some people on the freeway though?

I don't shave or wax anything since I'm a furry fucker and I prefer my men that way too! ;)
I also prefer men with facial hair and I'd never trim/go bare faced for anyone.
I don't shave/trim my body at all since I'd look weird like that.
I'd certainly NEVER shave/trim my pits since when I have sex I like to have my partners lick my armpits. Of course they're clean and I'm not wearing any deoderants or antiperspirants either. I also like licking men's hairy pits that don't have any deoderant or antiperspirant on them either.
I once knew a woman who didn't shave her legs at all and that's just not my thing.

I definitely shave. Check out my pics for proof. And I prefer my partners shaved as well. I hate getting hair in my mouth and throat, LOL.

I'm just the opposite of lilbitsva and herbwoman. I shave completely out of laziness. I used to maintain a "ladyscape". First time I shaved completely was for a lover and I got hooked. Trying to keep some pattern, even if it is just a strip, takes more patience. And you can tell how long since you shaved by the regrowth. I shave everything pretty much every time I'm in the shower, takes just a few minutes that way. I keep an electric trimmer for touchups in case I miss a spot. I like how it feels, I like how it looks. And if I'm feeling lazy for a few (or several), then it just looks like its trimmed. I've never had a problem with itching as it grew back in. I prefer my partners to be shaved or trimmed.

Right now i am NOT comfortable AT ALL with shaving my private area.... I figured if I seem to get cuts from shaving my legs no matter how careful I am, then ya.... I DONT trust me shaving my private :( that would be very ouchy.
Let me tell you I know my hands are not steady and you DO need a steady hand to shave down there :)
I do trim... I can do that and it doesn't bother me at all.
If I met someone who would perfer I was shaved down there (or more closely trimmed) and she wanted to do it, then I would but only after I trust her lol

I'm beautifully and bountifully natural.
Been there done that: from trims, landing strips to the bald little girl look.
Now I'm just very much at ease wth a lovely bushy triangle.
And with winter coming on, it just flows happily.
Only time I'll trim the inner thighs is if I go on a business trip.
And if nayone complains - well, I'm me. take me as I come. :female: :)

i shaved down there... once
mostly i just trimmed with the electric trimmer though, but i'm a wimp when it comes to the 'slips' lol!
i might try shaving again... after i take care of my 40+ hr/ wk problem lol... i might want something to take up some time :cool:
ok, so i might shave again before that.... maybe

Hehehe...Sol's "wimp when it comes to the slips" sorta works out well...I'm not real big on the bald look down there anyway. :tong:
I don't really care one way or the other whether someone is shaved or not, but visually I guess my preference is trimmed somewhat...at least so it's not long enough to braid or anything lol!
I alternate between shaving most...shaving some...designs....just trying to figure out what I like for myself. I don't like complete baldness. I reacted really bad to that at first...really bad (emotionally)...long story, but makes sense to me.
Anyway...I'm okay with others being bald I guess....I just personally think it looks nicer with some "decor." :tong:
As for hygeine....I don't believe hair has anything to do with that. Cleanliness is important regardless, I think.
There's far more tendency for ingrown hairs with shaving than not...and those can get infected...and well......I'll leave it at that.

I keep my entire pubic area smooth and hairless. I love the look and feel of it, it does seem much cleaner, as hairs tend to trap the odors. Also great for oral sex, no hairs breaking off in the mouth...and one thing that hasn't been mentioned...if you are using a condom, much less hassle putting it on and taking it off, without the hairs getting pulled and tangled. The smooth look shows off the equipment much better :tongue: The way I look at it....I came into this world, and lived almost 14 years without pubic hair..and I certainly don't want it now.... :2cents:

I'm the same, I shave every day in the shower and it only takes a few minutes. We're both shaved smooth and we love it that way. It looks great, and feels great. I shave her sometimes daily but mostly every other day. Being shaved smooth all the time eliminates any itching. We're both shaved front to back and I shave my chest and tummy too. I love the shaved smooth look and feel on other guys and women as well.

Hair (pubic) or not? I prefer not for 2 reasons. One, I like the sensation I get with it clean shaven or at least trimmed short and two I love it if my partner invested the time and sensuality to make it so. Once you get used to little or no hair there easy to maintain.

I love it but only to take off a certain amount; with my last girlfriend i made and evening out of it, you know like a pamper session with candles and wine, truffles etc.. She shaved my balls (a first for her) and had to fight her off my hard on, then I shaved her leaving a landing strip on top then went down on her and we had mind blowing sex afterwards. More fun than shaving in the shower! mind you I did it that morning using King Of Shaves gel and that was a lot of fun too!!!!

I stay trimed will shave once in a while, dont like to shave often even though hubby likes it and it does make it more sensitive, I dont like lookin like a lil girl who hasnt hit puberty yet. I also prefer my partener to be atleast trimed unless they dont have much of a bush to beguin with, then it dont bother me.

I've totally shaved once or twice, but I don't really like it...I like pubes, butt hair, armpit hair, on girls and guys, and no deoderant...I like to shave my balls though, I love smooth balls.

We both shave completely and any partners we play with must shave as well. Yes, I said 'must'. Personally, pubic hair is disgusting on either a male or a female. Instant turn off.

My sex partner complained about the hair. So, to please him, I shave the area that will cause hair in the mouth problems and trim the rest to avoid hair in the nose and eye problems.
This is only a minor discomfort considering the rewards.

I like that, SilverWulf!
When I eat pussy or cock I sure don't like much hair down there in the hot zone. I appreciate a teensy pubic patch (Mine is an inch wide tapering to zero upwards) just to tease me and mine. I love skin, hate hair, but want a tiny bit to tease me. Incidentally, I am smooth (shaved) and I have learned that many bisexual guys don't like that. They like one another hairy. I won't say, "Go figure?," because I think that's the general rule. Too bad for me. I love smoothies and spend lots of time on them.

Not sure why you would see something that's natural as disgusting....but to each his own. We don't have to cross paths with everyone.... :cool:

I do shave and have shaved for a long time. I guess it all started back in high school, when I was on the swim team, the coach was a real pain about "resistence and surface tension" so everyone on the swim team shaved their entire body, now that is an interesting look when everyone in the shower is shaving together. It was strange to go to the YMCA, where most everyone was not shaved, often would ask why I did shave and if nothing else would start a conversation with someone.
It was just a habit that continued thru college "swim team again" and into my adult life. I guess i prefer the look of shaved, just out of i have always seen it. In recent years more people are into shaving and have had shaving parties, where everyone lends a hand with shaving each other. It is a good ice breaker to get to know and touch someone, without being sexual... wel too sexual, LOL... Jerr

Well, as I have said in a previous post, I don't shave down there. The itching when it grew back, almost drove me crazy! As far as hygiene, clean is clean, dirty is dirty.
As a footnote, I had an angiogram(heart cath.) done in '01. They had to partially shave me for the proceedure, and I was reminded why I don't shave! :2cents:

Natural? Hmm... ok, no more brushing your teeth, shaving underarms or legs, do away with the haircuts, and throw out all that soap, shampoo, deoderant, etc... can't have any of that if everything should be 'natural'. ;)

I like neat and trimmed.

I considerd it once but then I noticed before I started that if it did it there I'd have to shave my whole body otherwise it'd look really stupid. I'm a hairy guy and it would look strange having a blad spot just where my wang is.
On a side note, I rarely even let myself trim my own goatee, I always go to a barber to get it done for $4. I'm always so worried that I'd mess it up and have to shave it all off and start again, wich is always terrible.
