Shaving down there - for or against?

Go to CruxDreams.com
By the two Goddesses, now can't you see
All we have to do is idly sit indoors
With smooth roses powdered on our cheeks,
Our bodies burning naked through the folds
Of shining Amorgos' silk, and meet the men
With our dear Venus-plats plucked trim and neat.
Their stirring love will rise up furiously,
They'll beg our arms to open. That's our time!
We'll disregard their knocking, beat them off--
And they will soon be rabid for a Peace.
I'm sure of it.


Aristophanes - Lysistrata (411 b.c.)
 
As far as what they have down there, by the time you get to see it (in real life as opposed to porn fantasies) you've probably formed an opinion about the person that isn't going to be measurably swayed by the presence or absence of hair...
With some notable exceptions, however, like John Ruskin who allegedly left his wife because of that matter :) :
We’ll probably never know the real reason, but the most fascinating is probably the theory put forth by Mary Lutyens: That Ruskin, being so accustomed to the sleek female forms in classical paintings and sculptures, had no idea that women had pubic hair, and was horrified to find it on Effie’s body.

It always amazes me how much ahead of time Aristophanes was, in his sentiments that we often associate with modern era.
 
Real women shave and have for millennia. Being hairy does not make you a "real woman".

I agree with you Willowfall, I always shave down there.
 
How do the ladies present feel about males shaving "down there" (no, I don't mean Australia). Does it matter? If so, what are the pros and cons?

I love shaved guys (and girls). Yes guys it does make you look bigger but honestly the feel of hair on my tongue is a distraction and kind of a turn off. I like working over bare skin with my lips and tongue (and not only "down there").

There's the saying that was around a hundred years ago that kissing a man without a moustache was like eating an egg without salt.
I take the same view of oral activity lower down, she/him - and the men in my life have fortunately been of the same opinion re- my bush.
 
My bush was trimmed, but once I got into kink events I was ordered (hmmm) told, asked, etc into becoming completely hairless basically from eyelashes down. When I met Violet she laughed at my bald baby foofoo but she came to like it when she realised she didn't have pick strays out of her teeth anymore lol...
But she has made me grow it back for pet play and as a humiliation punishment...
I erm hope this is what the thread is about I didn't bother reading all the previous malarkey...

I hasten to add she is trimmed and I am bald again, I do like hairless as first choice and trimmed as a second, fighting through a jungle to find the honey pot isn't brill lol... But when I dommed singeing a furry burger did make me giggle lol...
 
I'm absolutly on the side of the bald genitals. and I'd like to thank @willowfall for dispelling some of the myths about shaving in history.

While some may sadly misinterpret a shaved vagina as a sign of lack of sexual development (which one must assume applies to shaving faces as well), I see a hairy one and (mis)interpret it as a sign of poor grooming & hygene habits in general. Ditto those that are into that look.

I've still never kicked someone out of bed for that (tho thankfully I have never been with someone with hairy armpits, as I find that revolting) nor would I ever, but all my partners eventually shaved if they started out hairy. And rarely did I have to request it. They saw my own manscaped form and soon join in the smooth club.
