Hello! Many people coniferous beard, mustache, axillary, legs and pox. But do you ever had thought about to shave your intimate zone? I had read about it doctors are said that if people shave they intimate zones they ill less than who do not shave. There are some bacterial disease in our thew. Some people think that if men shave they tool he is gay. I think womens need to shave they intimate zones and mens too. Questions: Do you shave your intimate zone? If yes how old yo was when you do it first time? What is the best way to get ride of thew? What is the best age to do it? Do you better like your intimate zone with thew or without it?

i don't actually shave the hair on my private part, i just trim the hair so it will not stuck with my zipper LOL! , for me it is unhealthy to look if my private part is hairy, the same with my partner, if she's hairy it's a turn off for me..

The trim is too good method, but I prefer shave, because I can shave all my hairs under my thing up and sides. Yes be careful when you zip up.

Hello. No, I don't shave my intimate zone, and I don't allow my man to either. Just imagine what could happen when the stubble started growing back - we could get friction burns or something, and we'd certainly learn how hedgehogs felt when they mated. I don't think it means a man is gay if he shaves down there - very brave, to take a sharp object so close to his telegraph pole, or very stupid, but not necessarily gay. My man has a very poor aim, and at least the hair around my intimate zone gives him something to aim for. The love circle should have hairs around it - bald is not beautiful when it comes to 'down there.' And if you grow it long enough, you can have different 'hairstyles.' I like mine braided, and I have a friend who has hers highlighted. The possibilities are endless - only problem is, you can't show it off, or you'd get arrested for indecent exposure. By the way, did you hear about the woman who had a pedigree hairless chihuahua, which started growing hairs? She went to the chemists and asked if it was okay to put hair removal cream on her chihuahua. The chemist saud yes, but it would be wise not to ride a bike for a few days afterwards.

Hello, Lamb. I'm joking about the braiding and highlights, honestly! I can tell you that now, as it doesn't look as if he's coming back to comment.

I will never shave my zone. It feels like I'm 12. That's not sexy in my opinion. Anyone who thinks shaved pubes are sexy, frankly worry me a bit.

Hi crip femme: I don't think so. I mean, I don't look like a teenager and I won't look like a teenager anymore. I think that, if a person want to do this, he/ she should do it for hygienic reasons and not to look "sexy". Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Cripfemme I do not think that it is so childish. It is every people opportunity shave, raze, wax they intimate zone or do nothing. I think it is more sexy if there is little hairs or no hairs. starsailover I do not do to feel sexy I better like my intimate zone without hairs and some girls like if there is clean. I shave my hairs, because I feel more comfortable and cleaner. And in my opinion intimate zone without hairs looks more sexy.

Well when I first grew hair there I shaved it. Silly teenager... I saw a program on Berlin, places there that most tourists might not know about, and there was a salon there that does hair... there.... most interesting designs there were...

Hello, ladies. I don't know what a thew is either, I'm afraid. Talking of intimate zones, a friend of ours had a lodger who didn't need to shave there, as she had no hairs at all. She noticed this when they got the tin bath out in front of the fire on Friday night, when her husband went to his skittles night at the pub. When he came home, she told him about this and he said, 'I'd like a look at that.' So our friend agreed to leave the curtains open an inch or two the following Friday night, so he could nip back for a look. By then, she knew the lodger better, and asked why she had no hairs on her intimate zone. The lodger replied, 'I didn't know I was supposed to have hairs there.' 'You should have one or two now,' said my friend, 'You are 47, after all.' 'Have you got hairs on your intimate zone?' asked the lodger. Well, my friend has about half an acre of hair there, so she showed it off proudly. When her husband came back, she said, 'Did you see it, then? He said, 'Yes, but why did you go and get your intimate zone out?' 'You've seen that a thousand times!' she replied. 'I know I have,' said the husband, 'But it was a hell of a shock to the rest of the skittle team!'

I have never shaved my intimate zone and never will. My hair grows very fast and it would get itchy and uncomfortable. I Have cut it quite close and this is what happened. I haven't had the illnesses you speak of or anything so I would wonder if this information applied to everyone.

Well, if it isn't an issue then go for it. It just wasn't that great of an experience when I did it and I sure wouldn't do it again.

I think many Doctors would disagree with shaving any more than you have to. When shaving it allows bacteria to enter small breaks in the skin and cause infections. Mother Nature knows best. The hair in your intimate areas is there for your protection and if you just keep it clean, it will be very healthy.

He he doctors is different some says better is if we shave or wax our place some says opposite. I have read about shave and one good doctor is said if we shave our place, balls it would help to produce more sperm and it would be easy to our body. In summer we less sweat, because if our zone sweat it is not good for us. But, everyone need to choose this by them self.

It is much better to wax than shave! Shaving causes ingrown hairs and razor bumps and the hair grows back all spiky a few days later! Waxing does hurt a bit but it lasts longer and you're less likely to get ugly razor rash. It doesn't hurt as much the more you do it, you do get used to it! Oh and shaving makes it itch when it grows back!

Yes waxing is better, but it is cost and you need to go to salon I think that I am to young for this. Yes sometimes shaving makes ingrown hairs. When I grow up I use a wax method. Yes shave makes it itch and it is not nice.

I remember the first time I shaved my area below was right before I went into 7th grade. I kept it shaved all through high school. I just thought hair was gross. After I had my daughter when I was 20 I felt when I was shaved that I looked to much like an infant when it was shaved and it made me feel weird so I left a strip of hair that was trimmed up the middle. About a year ago I tried shaving it all off again but kept getting razor burn in this one spot so I just left a patch of hair there and kept it trimmed. It looked ok a lot of guys liked it. It bothers me though I dont like the way it looks and I dont like hair so I shaved it off again. Its been a few days and no razor burn so I'm hopeful I can keep it totally shaved. I love when guys shave their area below. Its hot and makes them look bigger. The one guy I know has a little patch that was the same as mine but it looks soooo hot on him.

hi et28lV I do not shave down there at all as that hair is there for just the reason you are saying its hazardous. my gyn dr is a female ans she say wash it keep it clean and do not shave it, that leads to breaks in the skin and bacterial infections. My husband never minded and now I am elderly and a widow and have no reason to shave there as I shower each day and am clean. that info you gave is all wrong. most doctors would say do not shave there. I am never ill from that crap and the hair is there for the purpose of protecting that delicate area in a woman. I have never shaved there and will not shave there, I am clean and I am well.

Hmm. First time I read about bacterias if you shave intimate zone clean. I do not know how is better, but if people shave intimate zone and often go to shower problems should not to be. Sad to hear that you are alone yes this is good reason to do not shave your place. I go to shower every day I think my intimate zone looks clear without hairs and I feel more comfortable.

Cleaning of hair of intimate zone is very essential to avoid bad odour.Bad odour attracts bacteria and a cause of many diseases.In some religion it is asked to clean haire of intimatezone.For example, In Islam cleaning every after 7(perhaps) days is prescribed.But do not use razor to clean it. Because it thickens your intimatezone hair.Use sissors to tream it neately.Cleaning of your lower portion keeps u out of many dieseases.

Hey Thank you for your advice. I do not use a raze, because I have read that it is painful.. I go to shower every two days and it is reason why my intimate zone is clean without hairs, because hairs in summer sweat and then is wet and they smell. I feel more comfortable without hairs..

Yes!I shave my private parts once in a month.My country is a hot habitat and I need to shave there.If you have more hair grown there,it will be hard to keep clean even if you take care while bathing.I don't understand about the thew,you are speaking about but I accept that area is prone to bacteria growth.It is quite advisable for ladies too to shave themselves once after their mensturation.

Yes in my country sometimes is to hot and if intimate zone is with hairs it is uncomfortable, because hairs sweat particularly in jeans. Thew is synonym hairs. I agree with you area is pron with bacteria if people have hairs and if he/she/they often do not wash they intimate zone it may end badly. Ladies look nice if they do not hairs in they intimate zone, but people need to decide shave, wax, raze, cut or do nothing with their intimate zones.

When I was younger maybe before 2 years I too prefer cut, because my hairs was very long, but I can cut only my up zone and little bit a side zone. Now I prefer to shave my intimate zone, because it is faster and I can shave all my hairs on intimate zone.

I do not like hair down there on my self or my partner. I prefer waxing to shaving, but I don't wax often because I don't like it. I usually just keep it trimmed down and "clean cut" so to speak. w

I know many people who likes waxing, but the waxing is painful. I choose to shave my intimate zone, because I am not ready for waxing yet. How old you was when you first time shave or wax your place? If this is not a secret.

Yes I shave there. I have done for a while now... I actually prefer it like this. My boyfriend likes it too, it makes things more intimate for us in a way, even though it was not a problem before, but I feel more comfortable now, and that is the main thing.

I think women need to groom they intimate zone clean without thew or with small thew. I shave my intimate zone and I like it I really enjoy this process. My intimate zone looks like baby zone. But, people need to choose do it or not, because it is they own decision. I too fell more comfortable without thew and I fully agree with you the main thing is comfort.

Like most of the responders have already stated, it's a matter of personal choice. Some people like it, others don't. I used to shave but honestly it just became too much of a bother - shaving my face everyday is already enough work! Also when I stopped shaving down there the first few weeks were awful... talk about itchy!! Just make sure to be careful if you do decide to shave/trim. It's a very sensitive area and you can wind up hurting yourself pretty easily!

Yes it is the personal choice, but better is if the place is clean. He he to shave face it is some minutes work although I am a beginner. Yes I know that intimate zone is sensitive and I usually do it very careful.

Mmm, it's such a private question you gave. I did, not for doctor's advice, not for health too, only because I felt really itchy. I did my first time at teenages, I can't remenber the exact number. I don't know what is the medically best age to do it, I only do it when I feel uncomfortable.
