About Shaving, down there...
Hair. It’s all over the place on us and there's considerable debate as to just why this hair is here or that hair is there. We're gonna skip that issue. We'll just talk about what people do about it. One of the neat things about being nudists is that we get to see a variety of hairstyles, and not just on the head! Let’s focus here, we're talking about removing genital hair, ok?
Remove your pubic hair? Really? You've got to be kidding!
Are these people weird or what? Well, yes and no. Are we weird for being nudist? Let’s face it, in most people’s eyes we are, and like anyone who strays from the ‘norm’, a threat to social order. Is that bad? Not necessarily. Society has rules that are intended to make group survival possible and anyone who threatens the status quo is a threat. That would be us! But sometimes a perceived threat isn't an actual threat at all. Like nudists.

We're taking about pubic hair here. Some people (women especially) have easily managed pubic growth that can be trimmed into interesting shapes. That’s cool. Just a little line here, a heart-shaped trim, maybe a little V, nice. Why not? We trim eyebrows and mustaches; what’s the dif? Vanity? Sure. So what? It’s just for fun!
some of us like to remove all of it, one way ot another. Minor difference.
On a personal note: Sometime into the nudist life I decided to try the genital shaving thing. Oh man, the first time you take a razor to that region is a bit scary! But I survived pretty much intact, and plastic surgery can do wonders nowadays. I asked the woman (we've been friends for years) who cuts my hair if she does genital waxing. She still cuts my hair but chose not to go there, literally! Some people have no sense of humor… Angie also has adopted pubic shaving and loves it! Don't you dare say that my Catholic Parochial School graduate wife is sinful; God says otherwise!

Is shaving your armpits a threat to anyone? How about chest or back? Legs? Arms? Genitals? Don’t think so. But why would someone do that? Well, first off, why do you care? It’s none of your business. Why do you drive a red car? Because you like it, and that’s a good enough reason!
Why do folks shave places most others don't? Because they like to. Just being nude feels good, really good. Some folks feel ‘nuder’ without hair. Things just feel different. You have a problem with 'different'? Look in a mirror; we're all different.
Suggestion to first-time shavers: do it several days before public (pubic) exposure to allow the wounds (just kidding, sort of) to heal and to get the knack of it! Now, experienced, it’s kind of a fun way to finish off a shower and, yes, it does feel ‘nuder’!
And dare I say, ah, not sure if I should, really don't want to offend. Ah, well, ok. I will. If you're under 18 stop reading. Ok? Ready? Nah, I won’t. Angie thinks it inappropriate. So just use your imagination as to what other benefits may exist without a bunch of hair 'down there' that has nothing to do with naturism! But it's a personal choice, and that's what social nudism's all about.

The good thing is, if you try it and don’t like it, it grows back, really! Bad thing is, itchy and scratchy for a while but not all that bad. And if you're wondering, pubic shaving so commonplace now that it won't even raise an eyebrow. There's enough disagreement about whether more or fewer nudists are shaved that the question of shaving or not has become a moot point. Basically, everyone does it except those who don't, and no one cares. Totally s non-issue. Nobody cares.
It's really no big deal, and you may find that you like it! It should be mentioned that any association between shaving and 'swingers' is nonexistent, if there ever really was one. And no, shaved women are NOT appealing to some sort of male fantasies about 'pre-pubescent girls' any more than women are attracted to shaved 'prepubescent' males. These ideas are fantasies invented by those who, for some reason, are intimidated by folks making choices about their own appearance which don't conform to some commercially profitable purpose (makeup, clothing, etc.). Ignore them, along with their brethren who also dislike nudists!
Take a look at the articles below (we'll be adding more) to give you an idea of what you're getting into! Or, getting rid of? Whatever; no one cares one way or the other.
