hair [and lack of]

[bip0lar]

So, now that i asked the question about clothes and clothing, let me pose a question concerning what exists UNDER those clothes *giggles*.
Shaving? Waxing? Where? How? Do you find it enjoyable? Do you do keep your sex and body bare or hairy because your master/mistress tells you to or do you would you do it either way? Any tips for keeping private parts hairless? I enjoy shaving, especially in the tub, lavender scents and bubbles! mmmm! Not that i always have that much time [nor access to a tub when i'm at uni haehhae] but it still feels nice to take the time and shave. I do hate shaving my legs though, i find it boring and dull and meeh, too much work for nothing--but my private parts have been bare even before i explored my submissive side.
any thoughts on the topic?

I don't remove my hair "down there." When I first got together with Master I asked Him what He preferred and He said that it didn't matter to Him, either way. So I asked Him if it would ok with Him if I didn't remove it and He said yes, that would be fine with Him. So I am all natural down there and that's the way I like it.

I shave my underarms, areolas, vulva and legs with shaving gel and a triple-blade razor. I don't really enjoy it since I can't soak in the tub for very long due to frequent urinary tract infections, and I almost always manage to nick myself. My vulva doesn't like to be shaved and tends to break out in bumps and get sore if I do it too often, so I usually only do it every 2-3 days. I keep myself shaved because that's the way I like it, not because I'm told to. However, Daddy likes it ultra smooth "down there," which I find I'm unable to accomplish with a razor without discomfort. Therefore, when I visit him, I use Magic Cream razorless beard remover.

[denuseri]

I stick with the razor myself, most of the time i am shaved everywhere around my virginia, except for a small patch/triangle on my mound. I use some cream to keep the razor burn down. That and sometimes some "secreat" deoderant (the white stick variety) does wonders for keeping me soft and dry downstairs. Once a month or so i use some diplitory cream for the hard to reach places. Of course this is all out the window on those nights when my owner wants to do me himself having my legs strapped to the headboard over my shoulders while being groomed so open and exposed is an erotic treat for me, especially after the lotion massage, weg.

you keep coming up with interesting topics bip0lar

I don't shave, because I don't really have a preference.
Should I have a girlfriend or playmate, I would let her decide, whatever she likes best. And I would be glad to accomodate.

[bip0lar]

samm: i was actually wondering when somebody is going to tell me off and to keep my fingers to myself! these are questions i'd ask a sister, or a girlfriend, but i don't have that many of those, and on the sub's couch it's cosy enough to ask--and there's people who know what they're doing. So it's a win-win situation!

[moonlitsub]

Its interesting as a guy because some people expect men to be shaved I mean all male models are waxed head to toe but I think personal grooming is good. Met so many hippy girls when I lived in VT that hair pits don't even bother me anymore.

Nice thread - bipolar, keep posting! :-)

I shaved my armpits and legs pretty much since the hair began to grow.

As for my pubes, I used to have them "natural", until I one day asked my tattooist/piercer if I was required to get shaved there in order to get my clit (hood) pierced. He said no, that was not necessary - but that I ought to get shaved anyway! I got a bit angry and said "yeah, so that I will look like some 12 year-old, HELL NO!". He said, no, I would not look like a 12 y.o.... and that the problem was more that I FEARED to look like a 12 y.o.... I was a little surprised and said yes, that´s true... but do tell, why should I get shaved?
He said, "you get more feelings". (Apart from the fact it is true - he knew how to get me curious! lmao!).

OK first thing I did after getting home was - getting shaved. It felt so fabulous without the hair that I kept it shaved ever since. Nowadays, I find even the looks of pubic hair on women unpleasant (only my point of view here, and no offence meant).

As for men - I like my men with hair, and YUCK I would not want a man who has no hair anywhere! I probably am old-fashioned there. *grins*

As for the techniques: It works best if you shave only every 2-3 days - when I tried shaving every day, it only caused red bumps and lots of scratches!
I shave my pubes dry and without any lotion, as that was the technique which worked the best.
Sometimes hubby does it for me, much like denuseri described, but I am not tied - I have to hold my legs out of the way myself. Hmmmmmmmm I like that very much. *blushes*

Now regarding the armpits and legs, I use an epilating device for them. It works well. I also tried to remove the pubes with it as well, but I am afraid I am too much a chicken for it - it´s just too damn painful.

I also considered getting them waxed (Brazilian Waxing) at a studio, as they are supposed to be quick and professional about it - it is not too expensive, either - does anyone happen to have experience with that?
How long does it take?
How often do you have to repeat it - once a month, every week etc.?

[bip0lar]

concerning other hair--not pubic--because of hormones i had hair on my face and on my breasts, which pissed me off a lot cause i'm freakish enough without the beard haehaehae, so i did the laser thingy. not very expensive, quite quick, very, VERY effective. i did my chest today for the first time, it kinda reminded me of tit torture *giggles*, and the way the woman rubbed lotion on my breasts afterwards, combined with the pain from the treatment, i have to admit that turned me on so much....
anyway, back on topic. thanks for sharing y'all. although i would like to know about guys more, i don't know many men who shave and i am quite curious about it. is it difficult? hard? fun?

[Lancer]

My late wife/sub was totally hairless from her neck down, she had most of it removed by electrolisis when she was sixteen in the orient. i found it to be most erotic because it made her appear she was much younger than her actual age and allowed me greater pleasure when disciplining her. The sight of my shaft sliding into her bald slit was fantastic.

[Arria]

The "laser thingy" is not expensive in the UK?
*packs up stuff and moves to the island* he he.
It is very expensive here, from what I checked it would be around 4,000 €...

The only men I met who shaved their balls (and told me about it, that is...) were gay, and they were used to doing it, and very fast about it. They used razors, the use-once-and-throw-away variety, without shaving foam.

[denuseri]

OMG sis i know so many guys that shave thier sacks, and not one of them is gay,,lol

alltough a lot of them are kinky as all get out and couple worked in the porn industry at one time or another

my one and only run-in with wax for hair removal, was a freaking disaster, it wasnt the pains so much as all the errant hairs it didnt get

and sometimes i do have to hold my own legs open, the restraints are just an added perk most of the time (weg)

on rare occassions he has done it (shaved me) in front of another person whcih was OMG like so so sooo much fun

[Flaming_Redhead]

It came about in conversation with my Daddy that I like my men shaved "down there." If you don't like getting hairs stuck to your tongue, what makes you think I do? Sooo....he got his clippers out and mowed the lawn then used a razor to shave his scrotum. Much better!

[bip0lar]

Arria: i'm still in Greece and no, it doesn't cost much. 40 euros for facial and another 40 or 50 for the chest. Which isn't too bad, considering that you do it once every couple of months or so. In my opinion worth it, very much indeed!

[Arria]

Ah ok, I just read the "Bradford, UK" in your stats below the avi.

[cadence]

I was blessed and I thank my biological parents everyday (sarcasm) with a lot of dark hair.
I shave my legs, actually I shave my entire leg. I wax everything else.
I prefer waxing over shaving as I tend to get too many red bumps which can be a bit too irratating for me.
I find waxing to be a bit smoother and it lasts longer.
I wax my armpits, and I do wax everything down below.

My hairdresser was practicing her waxing skills and was asked by someone to do a full brazillian wax. She asked a few of us regulars if she could practice on us. I agreed and found that I liked being hair free, and have kept it up ever since.

[samm]

although i would like to know about guys more, i don't know many men who shave and i am quite curious about it. is it difficult? hard? fun?

Ok, being a guy, I'll try to answer that one for you. I say try, because like I said, I don't shave, but I had to do it once before surgery, so my experience is limited lol.

I remember doing it without shaving foam and being veeeery careful You don't want to lose anything now do you?
The skin on the balls isn't really smooth, it is rather slack, so you have to be carefull not to rimple it, but stretch it a bit and hold it as smooth and as possible not to cut yourself.
So I found it rather hard and stressful, not my thought of fun. I'd rather not do it every week.

[denuseri]

FRH, nothing like running your tounge over some smooth har free balls, its so much more easy to concentrate on the good stuff with no hair in the way isnt it weg lol

[moonlitsub]

I don't know what it is but once I do start removing hair it just doesn't stop. I do use a hair trimmer but I keep hair on my legs though since I am so pale (Someone today said I look as pale as the dead) and have dark almost black hair it stands out luckily I don't have too hairy of an upper body just a little around the nipples, and I have considered removing it but I don't know. Also I enjoy plucking my hair for some reason every now and then when a stray eye brow lash comes up I start and can't stop.

[Arria]

"I enjoy plucking my hair for some reason every now and then when a stray eye brow lash comes up I start and can't stop."

OMG I so know that feeling!!! I thought I was the only one!
I force myself to stop though, as once as a teenager I did not stop and had to go to school with one and a half eyebrow for like 2 weeks... EMBARRASSING. *still winces at the memory*

[bip0lar]

i don't touch my eyebrows--what with wearing glasses and them having a nice shape and all, i never had to. but i find myself plucking hair from other places... *giggles*

[Arria]

I don´t have to, either, but did you never have the stupid fashion at school to pluck them to thin lines? looks horrid, but I thought I would give it a try... the one and only time in m life LOL

[moonlitsub]

Usually the girls at my high school would pluck out all the hair and pencil in a line, ugh no wonder I wasn't attracted to the girls there.

[damyanti]

Great thread, I always wanted to ask that question but was too embarrassed, LOL! I think its one of the last taboos, its not something you find in girl mags.

Personally, I keep my au naturel. My skin is too sensitive and I am too lazy to bother with it, when I meet that someone it will be up to him, whatever he prefers.
For the rest of my body I use a combination of common depilatory creams, shaving and epilator (when I am up to it and just for my legs, I am not a masochist, ). I just wish my skin wasn't so terribly sensitive and prone to bumps, . Has anyone tried Revitol hair removal cream?
Once a month I have my nails and eyebrows done at the spa. I don't like over-plucked look, just well groomed.

I admit I have entertained thoughts of having a brazilian or at least a professional bikini wax, but the idea of having my completely exposed crotch up some strange womans face.... Can anyone give a detailed account of whats that like? Not to mention the mortifying possibility my submissive pain receptors might start "oozing", .

[openwide]

it kinda reminded me of tit torture *giggles*, and the way the woman rubbed lotion on my breasts afterwards, combined with the pain from the treatment, i have to admit that turned me on so much....

...I'm enjoying imagining your laser rem. visit! I have tried shaving in the past and the subsequent discomfort and itching has kept me from doing it since. I find a thorough trim with a cheap beard trimmer is good enough. I go pretty short, the itching afterward is minor, and I like the way it looks. (it prevents unpleasant odor too) Happy to share a pic if you want ;-)

[yummysubmummy]

I shave my legs and under arms but fortunately I don't get much hair (thank you Asian genes!) so I don't have to do it that often. I have recently started brazillian waxing as shaving 'down there' makes me so itchy The first time I wasn't scared of the pain - I was scared that I would get aroused (hot wax, there, anyone?! ) but it was so quick and the beautician was so professional and 'matter of fact' that thankfully I did not embarrass myself. I do like the result (and so does my Dom hubby!) much better than shaving, it stays bare for much longer and is not itchy when it grows back. I think I might be an addict now...

[fellintobed]

I would be a hairy, hairy Sasquatch if I didn't shave. It's actually a bit embarrassing, but there you have it. I shave my pits, legs, the entire vulva from navel to taint... and yes, my chin and upper lip (stupid PCOS). Doesn't that sound attractive? LOL And people always wonder why I'm not interested in going camping in the woods for several days... but I digress.

I have a triple-blade razor and shaving gel, and I use them for my pits and vulva. Chin is just razor and water, because I've yet to find a shaving cream that doesn't cause break-outs. I dry-shave my legs because it's easier for me to get all the hair off when I'm somewhere more comfortable than a tub - I just go very slowly and always in the direction of the hair.

As for the sexual aspect of shaving, I would shave regardless, but I definitely think bare is sexier. I feel unattractive when I have pit stubble or scruffy legs. I like my partners to be shaved or at least trimmed; hair in the teeth is unfun.

[Alaora]

i personaly trim my pubic hair down very short. i like not having hair there, but my other likes my hair so we comprimise. it works well for us

[icey]

i am shaved everywhere, i detest body hair it's one of my pet hates, i shave every single day to make sure i never have any stray ones come through.
i use a womens gillete razor with nivea shaving foam for women, the shaving creams usually smell horrible and you have to have some hair growth first.
because i do it daily i dont find it fun or boring as there's barely anything to shave anyhow so it only takes a cpl of minutes to do everywhere.

i bought a depilator once and had to let it grow a little so i could use it...yikes! a word of warning, no matter how much you like pain and torture...stay away from those f***kers
