I didn’t shave my underarms, legs or pubes for nearly three months. Then I started shaving again and I had some time to reflect.

As I mentioned in my old post, most guys I talked to were pretty split in their opinion of unshaven girls. Some said they would never sleep with a girl who didn’t shave, and some said they couldn’t imagine why anyone would care about something so trivial. But I have come to the conclusion that really, most guys don’t care. They pretend to care, but they don’t.

I only have one actual data point to back me up on this, but I am still willing to bet that if you stuck a hot naked unshaven girl in bed with a guy who would “never” have sex with an unshaven girl he’d still get turned on. Maybe he wouldn’t actually have sex with her, but he’d want to. I mean, the human race managed to perpetuate itself for thousands of years when women didn’t shave so clearly men are capable of being aroused by hairy women.

So why wouldn’t he actually sleep with her? I think it’s less a matter of desire and more a matter of embarrassment. I remember once one of my friends lost a bet with me and he had to fellate me while I was wearing a strap on. I gave him the option of not sucking my plastic cock but telling everyone that he did, or the option of sucking it secretly and we’d pretend it never happened. He decided on the stealth sucking (in the end, it never actually transpired which is why I can talk about it now) but I think the whole event provides insight into the male psyche. Simply stated, your average guy is willing to do a lot more if he doesn’t have to tell anyone about it.

By extension, I think your average straight guy who would “never” sleep with an unshaven girl would be happy to if he knew none of his friends would ever find out. That said, I think that it’s sort of boring to sleep with people who care too much about their image. Since I’ve started shaving I’ve actually considered growing my armpit hair out again so I don’t have to deal with guys who have these sorts of issues. Life is too short for shame.

  1. Results may also depend on the appearance of the hair. Some people have very nice-looking body hair. Others have less-appealing body hair. There are definitely some people (men and women) who should shave, and then others who can get away with not shaving and actually should not shave.

    Time-since-shower vastly out weighs time-since-shave. I think a lot of squeamishness is that an inch of pubes could be covering up some serious 5-day funk. Until you trust somebody’s personal hygiene it’s comforting to know what you’re getting in to with a quick glance/sniff. The fear would be more of the akwardness of asking somebody to wash up than actual taste too.

    AH HA!

    This is why I try to disguise my inner issues when I’m around people I may sleep with. Emotional connection? Who wants that?

    Choice of hot naked shaved chick in bed vs hot naked unshaven chick in bed = shaved chick FTW.

    Get a job you damn dirty hippie!

    Just kidding Em.

    btw… i recently trimmed my knee hair… and just my knee hair… because it kept getting ripped out in jiu jitsu class. So now my legs look like 2 thick black parallel lines with large white dots in the middle

  5. I have had 3 calls this week about personal grooming, and what was unique about these call was that a friend
    of mine was getting married, and her concern was that her bridesmaids were a bit taken aback when she mentioned
    that she would pay for all of their grooming, and or waxing to be presented properly in the new dresses. I will mention
    that the ones taken aback were of mixed races. She had asked could I call them, since previously she had been a client of
    mine. My response is that this could not be reversed, and inapropriate especially by me. I told her that she could
    offer a variety of services and just let her bridesmaids just choose what it is they were comfortable with, and let it
    go at that. ———— Please remember that my preferences, and your preferences are not law.
