First of all, my apologies to all if this topic has been discussed previously. While I have been with TER for almost a year I've basically used it for reviews only, and have just recently began the discussion board. Boy, did I miss out?
But my burning question is, why are most all ladies going with the shaved look? Is it in vogue? Is it because it is that much cleaner? What happened to dental floss? Do most hobbyists prefer it? I am a man who looks upon a full bush as very sexy, womanly, and a complete turn-on. It is part of being a woman. I'll never forget as a very young man putting my hand down a girls pants and feeling that warm hairy mound. My fingertips were on fire!! and needless to say...I lost it! I enjoy so much the old movies and photos from the 80's and before where women were au natural down below. Now it seems that that being desirous of a bush has become a fetish. Am I so completely out if it or uncool? Is there anyone out there who feels like I do or am I up in the night. Will it ever come back? I'd be interested in hearing both sides, provider and hobbyist.
Happy Day After to everyone.

I luv the natural look (and feel). Yes, it seems like the shaved look has come in vogue these past few years and maybe we are just ol' fashun. But I'm a fan of everything natural, including boobs, etc. Blame Playboy, there was a time when the mags couldn't publish nudes with pubic hair, so the ideal became the airbrushed, no hair look. BUT I still luv that natural look and feel.

But, I have been shaving since my early 20's, and I am now 35. I just find it cleaner, more attractive (my gentlemen friends give me great compliments on the look, infact), and very sexy Maybe hair in the mouth, doesn't irritate some, but for me, I would prefer to go down on someone who was shaved (woman or man, for nothing gags me out with a "silver spoon" more, than hair in my mouth..uggh lol. But, to each their own, as well

Being shaved (either partly or completely) just looks "cleaner" to my eyes, and is definitely more hygienic (less hair to trap sweat). When I see the old porn movies, it's a turn-off because the women seem way too hairy--like seeing unshaved armpits.

Plus, the first time I received DATY after shaving, I couldn't believe the improved sensations. The man's tongue could reach ALL the skin properly for the first time. It was great!

Sure, if the style changes to a more bushy look, I would go along to stay in fashion and keep you guys happy, but I hope the trend doesn't turn for a very long time.  

That's me!

*  When I was a stripper, shaving was mandatory.  
*  I had piercings down there and they were visible without hair
*  Oral sex was more PLEASURABLE to me without hair.  

Based on all of the above, I chose to laser instead of shave, because I could do without the stubble or the shavebumps.   Permanently. A commitment, which I've never regretted although I knew full well that perhaps preferences would change once more and more women went hairless.

I have shaved for 5 years straight and have decided to give it a break and let it grow a little.....  I don't know which I like better...guess I could go either way...

I think I did have my nose in your business and I was a little busy.  But wasn't that your do not to long ago?  My eyes were closed most of the time.

The only thing worse than a mouthful of hair is a sore tongue for the stubble.  

Actually, I like the "both" approach if you're truly "bushy" down there, and natural if you're not so furry.  Visually, it's a turnon for me to see a well-tended pussy.  And after making love (or as part of the tender beginning to foreplay) I love to run my fingers through a woman's pubic fur.

According to "The Joy of Sex" and other posts here, the fur traps a woman's natural scent and increases arousal for her man.  Works for me!

In general, I like the "bikini wax" look.

I LOVE shaved labia, mostly because I love the look of large labia (as opposed to labia minor skin folds protruding from labia major). I also like the taste, smell and slick feel of female juices and would rather get them all over my face than trapped in hair. Also, picking hair from the teeth is not one of my favorite pastimes.

The more "ratty" the pubic hair looks, the worse it looks to me. However, on Japanese women, thick, glossy straight black pubic hair turns me on like nobody's business, and I'd prefer that in that one specific case. I especially like how the strands appear more separate, and sweep out to the sides, rather than the "tangled patch" look that most other races of women have.

Truth to tell, I don't particularly like the totally bald look; it somehow reminds me of pre-puberty, and I don't EVEN wanna go there, even for fantasy...!

So, I'd rather have a small tuft on the upper mound, and shaved everywhere else; if the woman is japanese, there's a different "ideal". Just one man's opinion.

As to what I prefer..Shaved or trimmed...I do not like taking a trip to the jungle..

I love to see the wonderful form of a womans labia, love the taste of her pussy. But sure do hate the razor stuble from shaving. Waxing is good , but laser is even better. I look forward to the day lasering is common practice for the ladies.

Each woman is a unique human being with her own set of physical characteristics and her own distinct personality. Some women look incredibly sexy when they're fully shaved. Others, when there's a jungle down there - anybody remember the bathtub scene from Last Tango in Paris? Other women have furry designs above their clefts but are shaved below. Variety is the spice of life and that suits me just fine! It also adds a bit of mystery. Until you see a woman naked for the first time, you never know what you will find down there.

I prefer totally shaved,or a patch up top is ok.
I go at DATY very hungrily and I don't like picking
pubies of my tongue.
As far as her bush trapping an arousing scent.....
NOPE...not me....shave it off.....I don't want to smell anything
at all down there. Just being there is arousing enough for me.

BTW I will be in HTown this week.  Let you know how things went.
