Livi	I do! I do it because hair kinda weirds me out (I'm kinda hairy, not like hairy, but I'm a dark haired girl, and my head hairs thick, and I can see the hair, and its like, uhck!) but I shave down there... majority of my boyfriends have prefered it that way (well, they told me they prefered it that way, they never saw, hence my virgo status)...

Neil - the hypocrite	If I was you I check what porn he looks at. Are they adult? I can't imagine anything less appealing and un-womanly. It's got to be uncomfortable. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cs_destefano	Don't shave, it's a pain and it'll probably hurt. If your boyfriend doesn't accept you for who you are (hair and all), tell him to deal or get lost. Oh, and it's not unhygenic, it's fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

La Boulangère	fu(k him! you keep your appearance how it is if you are comfortable with it. I use hair removal cream (shaving can cause a nasty rash as the skin there is so sensitive), but i must admit i also find it a little disturbing that men like us to look like little girls! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stephanie C	I have done it before for a laugh and it does make it more sensitive. It is however horrible when it starts to grow back! Really itchy and very uncomfortable. I think it is something you should do if you want to and not because someone is pressurising you into doing! As you say you are a clean person and he is the one with an issue. If you are unhappy about this don't do it! Talk to him and discuss further but do not do it because he is making you feel bad. He sounds a bit of a bully..... Oh, one thing I do is to cut it quite short, it is not such a drastic measure and it looks nice. I use one of those machines guys use to cut their hair..... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

'Dr Greene'	Of course It's your choice. From a blokes point of view its just easier to 'work with' without the hair in the way. Just crop it short! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

munchie	he should but i trim it and Nair it at top and sides and around the lips it can smell when over hairy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jade♥	no ! if he cant accept you for who you are then he isnt worth it, explain to him how you feel and see if this works !! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

daniel4joyce	Yes girl! its your body not his! He might be puting part of his body into you but still, that gives him no right to tall you to get rid of what God gave you! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♪♪Knowledge is Power♪♪	Sure. But you'll have razor bumps....you don't want that. Get a Brazilian wax!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Orinoco	It's not unhygienic. It is a fashion thing. Make up your own mind about it - whether or not you want to comply with this guy's request. It may actually be that it just turns him off and he prefers shaved. He should take you for who you are. Shaving/depilating CAN in fact cause harm. I myself have seen 2 cases present to the emergency department - one very embarrassed couple because they were waxing the area and caused a minor laceration between labia majora and labia minora (which they OBGYN eventually decided to do nothing about - it would heal by itself) - and one very distressed 16yo girl with labia swollen up to 3-4X their normal size... she had gotten a staph infection in the area from shaving.

Amanda K	NEVER shave down there, it makes the growth stronger. If you decide to go for a Hollywood, find a beautician that uses the sugaring method as it is the least painful way of doing it. You can use Veet, but it can sting and that is the reason they put the warning on the boxes. As to why men ask, some of them do not like rummaging through the undergrowth Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lennylil	You do what YOU like. Of couse its not unhygenic if you shower/wash everyday. However, it is quite nice for yourself if you want to get used to it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~Kim~	just trim it short thats what i do, iv had no complaints Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SunnyDays	Ask him to shave himself first, bet he won't! Shaving or waxing completely is a bit odd to me, as the minge then looks like a childs....mmm thats why i think its odd. However, a good trim and neaten is absolutely fine, thats more normal Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

yeah well	Yes.. hairs in teeth.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Magix	I think you should be your self, simple do what make you happy... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ranamccarthy	Don't do it for him! He should accept you the way you are...It is your own personal choice whether or not to shave down there. It is not unhygienic to have the hair!! The hair is there for a reason...to keep stuff out of that area!!! I personally don't shave...I did it once (for a guy) and regretted it...didn't feel comfortable with myself at all. I have no idea where this shaving craze came from, but agree...it does make ones private are look like a young girl...I do not see the appeal in that at all! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jane b	jeeze. you will get an horrendous rash, men like it but god they don't have to put up with the itching and the horrible regrowth... tell him you are german... they are well hairy!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peter gunn	Do whatever makes you feel comfortable girl!!! It is not unhygenic to have pubic hair. But a nicely trimmed pubis does look very sexy plus it is a lot easier when performing oral action. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Carrie!	Ya know what. If my boyfriend said that to me I would tell me to kiss my a$$. Why do you have to do what his other girlfriends did? Just be yourself. If you like it the way it is then leave it! Never change yourself for a man. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bondyzzzz	Personally i think hair down there is the worst thing in the world im sure you would have a lot more fun if you did what he asked Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Laura T	Yes he should! If you don't want to shave then don't, the regrowth is mega itchy if you don't shave really regularly and stubble looks worse than being natural in my opinion! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Number 3	Yes he should. You should not do anything that you are unhappy with, just to please someone else. Be proud of your body Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pam_samderson	only do it if you want to! its down to personal preference, it wont do you any harm if you decide to try it and it will grow back! concider waxing though as well, it lasts much longer, its not stubbley when it grows back and eventually the hairs grow finer! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Adam F	your pubic hair is there for a reason, to keep out infections kinda like the hair in your nose...Would you want to shave the hairs off completely in your nose, think about what all would be going into your lungs. If you really want to shave use hair clippers without any attachments, thats what I use on my GF cause I dont really like the big "bush" thing either. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

beckyblue	does ur boyfriend shave and yes he should take you how you are dont give him what he wants do wot u wont Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Emma	It's him, not you. Tell him you will shave if you want too, not because he 'requests' it. and if he don't like it, he can lump it!!!! seems like a complete A hole to me!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Faith	Get a new boyfriend – seriously. It is your body to do with as you wish, he should have absolutely no say in it, and the fact that he is comparing you to his ex-girlfriends as a way to get you to do as he wants is shocking to say the least, let alone unhealthy. If a man cannot respect a woman's body then he has no place going near one, your boyfriend has shown a great deal of disrespect as well as ignorance towards female anatomy as well as a hell of a lot of disrespect to you and your body, do you really want this person near your vagina? On that point do you even want such a shallow, ignorant and insulting person as your partner?! Having pubic hair is certainly not unhygienic, it would be detrimental to your health if that was the case and so hardly a natural occurrence in the body – it also makes me wonder if he is shaved himself and how clean he is. The pubic hair is there to keep the vagina and vulva healthy by protecting it from dirt that can get into the genitals; it is also there to help trap pheromones that attract the opposite sex. This craze came from Japan originally, but is largely an American phenomenon – you'll notice Americans do a lot of things for the benefit of 'hygiene' to the point of causing harm to their bodies such as scented tampons (that cause infection), or such as routine infant circumcision (not only a breach in human rights but a risk to the emotional, psychological, sexual and physical health as well as risk of death). Of course American things filter down to the UK...even the men are doing this now! Removing pubic hair itself is pointless and even harmful, if only on a social level, but shaving is worse given as the pubic hair is too thick to shave - if you do get rid of it because YOU want to then it should be removed with waxing or plucking.
