To shave or not to shave.....
Speaking with a girlfriend the other day, the mention of ob gyns came up. She made the comment that she'd have to postpone her yearly exam for at least a month or two because she had recently shaved herself bare for her boyfriend.
I'm always perplexed when I hear this sort of response. Are you to tell me that a doctor who specializes in pussys has never seen one bare? Or that they give a crap either way how you maintain yourself, so long as you're clean? Please, I think they have better things to do in their life than to be shocked and amazed at such things.
I like to be clean shaven, and have absolutely no problem with letting my doctor see that. Not once has she ever made comment on my grooming, nor has she gasped at the presentation of naked skin.
Granted, keeping up the bare snatch will prove impossible in several months when I can no longer see what I'm doing, but then I can still at least be well groomed. If only Rick could be convinced to take up the chore.....
Don't not shave for the sake of your doctor. Please. Its just silly.

Not-quite-shameless plug: hit the link at the bottom of my blog to get yerself a nice shaver that you don't have to worry about nicking yourself with.
Erm... yeah.
I also have friends who only shave for their doctor. Not even their men. How screwed up are THOSE priorities???
I wish my wife felt that way. She wont shave because of that...
Rick may not want to shave you because he doesn't want to nick/cut you there. You should teach him now, while you can still see. Once he realizes that there is very little risk he will probably keep helping after the baby. I love shaving my wife, on those rare occasions...

Wow that's funny. I've justalways figured it's a doctor, why should they care about my hair grooming habits. However I am a little funny about having sex the night before an appointment, even if I take a shower afterwards. Call me crazy, but something in me just plain thinks it's rude to present the possibility of coming across a big wad of ejaculate stuck in there while trying to perform an exam. Yes let's advertise to the world what I was doing last night! Any thoughts on that?
Fetch him to the screen now, I mean NOW, this instant, I need to tell him something.
You need to shut your eyes though, else the surprise won't be as good ;-)
Rick,
get yourself a can of sensitive skin shave gel,
a pack of disposable lady razors (or a good keepable one and some blades)
get some soft cords
get a towel and lay it on the bed
Get GW naked
lay GW on the towel
apply the cords to wrists and ankles and thence to the corners of the bed
apply shaving gel
and Rick, you will not believe how turned on you both will be when you've finished shaving her
as an alternative to gel you can use Baby Oil (not quite so soapy tasting if you choose to check how smooth she is with your tongue from time to time
a blindfold is a worthwhile addition to the equipment list (be sure to put it on GW and NOT on you!)
seriously - you should not need convincing of this. To shave her is one of the most intimate and arousing experiences
It's a must
shaving.. hhmm my wife doesn't, has no inclination to.
GW-- we need a pic ;-)
GW - I concur. I've been clean-shaven since high school, my doctor has never mentioned it. Because she doesn't care. Therefore, neither do I. So silly to be worried about something like that.
I can't imagine being shy about the hair down there for a Dr. that sees everything anyway. GW, you could always have someone wax you. That would be easier when your baby starts growing. Little painful but stays a lot longer than shaving. Although having Rick shave you would be more intimate.
i've tried that whole shaving thing, and i always end up with HUGE razor burn and/or shaving pimples because the skin's so delicate, not to mention EXTREME itchiness, how do you do it properaly GW?
I shave FOR my doctor's appointments. Easier to look at and work around. I also shave for hubby and for myself. Especially around that certain time of the month. Hygenically, it's cleaner. Looks better with a pair of sexy panties. Frankly, I can't understand women who WON'T shave. I've found though that using a fresh razor each time cuts down on any razor burn. And I use a body gel rather than shave cream.. I can still see what I'm shaving that way. A little bit of baby powder helps me with the itching and keeping razor burn at a minimum too.
the way you women talk, i wonder what is up with my wife. i will have to get her on the bandwagon here.
My wife doesn't shave, either, and to be honest I've no particular inclination to persuade her to start. What about stubble when it starts to grow? Would I scratch my tongue?
well...
technically i didn't shave because of my dr.
but
it's because
my husband goes with me to all my appts right now
and i would rather not have it come up...or be evident.
an explanation - to my husband - is what i am avoiding
(not because i am sleeping with someone else..but because i am not sleeping with him)

I just found your blog today, and I'm hooked. I still have a lot more to read, but I'm looking forward to all of it!

My wife feels the same way about shaving, one of the reasons she gives for not doing it. Apparently the bible belt still has its sway on many people, open minded or not. :(
Actually, baby diaper rash cream works really well for razor bumps in this sensitive area. Rosie
My wife & I use the "Brazillian Wax" you get at Wal-Mart. I comes in a small jar (inside the box) and the wax is very hard & green when you open the container. 1 minute in the microwave & it is smooth and creamy to spread. There's no cloth strips to deal with and it doesn't attach to the skin at all. Only the hair comes off. It took a little trial & error to determine how to use it best but now I'm an old pro at it and the wife is completely smooth in about 30 minutes.
As for shaving, I guess it'd be a personal preference. I, myself shave, mostly for hygeinic reasons. There are other reasons, duh! But mostly for cleanliness.
I don't understand why it would matter to an OBGYN, they've seen enough of, well...you know. I'm sure it wouldn't even make them blink. Hell, it probably makes it easier for them! lol...
And Freddie, that is hot! Men, take notes...the gentleman knows what he's talking about!
lmao
I agree completely with GW and Carrie. I too maintain a smooth surface at all times regardless of weather, mood, or Dr's appointments. LOL
how things change. My mom told me she HAD to shave (apparently a nurse did it) before I was born for 'hygenic reasons' & that it itched like mad when she let it grow back.
I never got any f/b from my dad on the subject. All I can say is - if that practice was maintained I'd be the father of about 17 kids by now cuz I wouldnt be able to keep myself away from it...
Ha. I'm kind of freaked out by the shaved thing, too. Although I'll get over it because I don't feel like NOT shaving. What I'm NOT looking forward to is the potential snark about my nipple piercings....
Luce,
You're slippin on your blogging. You know your daily readers need our fix!!!! Hope the pregnancy is going well.

"Psychologically, shaving the genitals is a reversion to prepubescence. A man who wants a woman shaved is sometimes expressing latent pedophilia. He is, metaphorically, attempting to erase an obvious symbol of her maturity and woman-hood. It's possible that these men find women threatening and, subconsciously, prefer sex with the less threatening little girl...A woman who prefers her genitals shaved (when not acting on her partner's preference) is reverting to her own childhood and is often on the submissive spectrum."
Thank you anonymous, but by the same token there is also Freud's quote of, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Sometimes I like to have hair, sometimes I like to be shaved. Out of courtesy to hubby I try to shave before requesting oral because he's not really into the carpet munching thing. Also when shaven the sensations can be a little more intense as it's completely skin on skin.
Having hair can be nice because again it alters the physical sensations, and it's a little less difficult to maintain than a constantly bare beaver.
Then as has been mentioned, there is the hygeine aspect... hair traps odors. Hubby also keeps himself hair free, something I appreciate as it makes it easier for me to perform oral on him without the strong scent of sweat and testosterone that would most certainly be trapped. For women it's no different, except that the odor is different... especially during our time of month.
Just because a guy prefers a shaven fanny does not necessarily make him a pedophile, or that he has pedophilic tendencies. Pedophlies are also known to have no interest in playing with breasts, among another of other characteristics they consider in profiling a pedophile. There are lots of guys out there who like the look of a shaven pussy... and adore breasts and in no way fit the "profile" of a pedophile.
Just because a woman likes having a shaven pussy doesn't mean she's some simpering ninny that wants a man to push her around. It could be it makes her feel sexy. It could be SHE likes the way it feels, because she wants to be courteous before asking for oral, or because she has strong odors that she finds aren't so strong when she shaves. There doesn't have to be a complicated psychological answer behind everything everyone does.
I'm wondering if GW's friend has sort of a modesty issue. Maybe she feels uncomfortable being exposed... and as you can't have an exam without removing your clothing... perhaps it makes her feel less exposed to have her hair there instead. Who knows? Maybe she has some sort of moral hang up about it. It's hard to say. Whatever it is, it does seem a little odd, but it is her choice.
To OB/GYN's...it's just one p**sy after another. It's all so clinical to them. I've had the same ob/gyn for over a decade and he's seen it shaved and unshaved...he doesn't give a sh*t. I prefer a hair-free zone myself and so does hubby. I've never asked him to do the honors, but I just might do that next time. Then again, I dunno...I've grown to reeeeally like doing it alone. ;-)
Good wife, this reminds me about Denise...
Like the blog, been reading for a little while.
I don't give a shit what my doctor thinks when she sees me shaved. In my opinion, it is cleaner when I have no hair down there. I've never had any doctor comment about it. Probably makes their job easier as well.

It's been "known to kill". (search for Dr. Dick's reply by looking for 'kill')
The brother of a friend of mine, along with some of his friends, hired a prostitute. She wasn't shaved... and this guy was the first to give the girl oral sex. He was a newbie and when he plunged into the jungle, he kind of missed and ended up with hairs in his mouth...
After that, he quickly went to the restroom, and proceeded to throw up.
So, after hearing from his experience... I've been fond of the idea of having that region of my future girlfriend/wife 's shaved. And who knows, I might as well do this too.
Besides, I think shaving goes hand in hand with hygiene.
I used to be like your girlfriend, too, except I would have been to shy to even bring the subject up at all. I blame it on a prudish upbringing, and it can take a while to overcome that.
Did you know its actually less hygienic to shave completely bald than to leave some hair there. The hair is there to protect the inner parts of the vagina from unwanted bacteria. On another note, why is it that as women we hide our underwear under the rest of our clothes when going to the gyno? As if seeing the pussy wasnt half as bad as seeing our undies?
Wow, just stumbled upon this post and had to add my comment... My DH shaved me when I was preg with number one and it was hilarious. We laughed and had so much fun as I was lying on the laundry room floor with a towel underneath. Now, seven years later, I've just had my first Brazilian, and I think, once you go bare, you never go back! LOL
I just found your blog on the link list of hotciao.blogspot.com. Great blog as far as i read and i just love your layout, i hope i can do it as good as you some day.
I shave my private parts too (what a surprise) and for me it's also a hygienic thing but it gives me also a sexual kick. My pussy is much more sensitive. Shaving has also a submissive part for me, because i can't hide anything behind a bush.
To be honest i also always thought: "My good, what will my doc thinking of me if he sees my shaved pussy", but i never stopped shaving because of this (i'm such a bad girl). :)
Oh, my GOD. That's all I have to say. Or'd better say.
i have had two different doctors comment to me when i shaved my pubes. they said it is not a good idea... it has the possibility of introducing bacteria and removes some natural protection which is why the hair is there. it is more likely to have problems with vaginitis etc... if you remove the hair. it's there for a reason. trimming is good.
my doctor said what carrie's did - it isn't a good idea, said trimming was fine. so i just make sure i don't shave too close to when i see him. :) kim
i've just come across this blog & really got me reading the whole page.
my wife shaves and maintains her pussy bald all the time. Before i went with her to visit her gynae, i aaked if she would be embarassed to let the gynae see her hairless pussy and suggested that she let it the hair grow for couple weeks. She said that she preferred to go visit the gynae with her hairless pussy, as its cleaner. After the gynae examined her, i thought i see that funny little grin on his face while he talked to us. made me wonder what was going on in his mind.
It is no problem to me though, as i asolutely adores my wife's bald pussy.
As a gynecologist all I can say is that it is very common nowadays, almost the norm for younger women. It is a little funny to see pubic fashions come and go. Seems to lag the porn industry by about a year. I assume that most women look at the internet and decide how they think they should look down there, or their boyfriends encourage them to do so.

good post
Yikes! Had to wade through about 4,000 spambot messages.
I'd like to respond to those who suggest that a man who likes shaved female parts is some kind of pedophile. That just makes no sense. Men commonly shave their faces. Doing so makes them look more like little boys. Does that mean that men have been subjugated by women who want to turn them into children?
And by the way, you've earned your title. Any woman who will do this shaving is, at least in that respect, a very good wife.
