Opinion: The Sexiness of Shaving

I feel like advocating the shaving cocks and pussies today. I shave my own penis, scrotum and belly. There's just a square of close cut pubic hair at the base of my penis. I do it for aesthetic reasons, since I think tidy body hair grooming looks nicer. And I think it "bares" saying (heh, heh) that a person who spends time grooming their pubic hair just seems more sexually sophisticated - and by extention, more desirable. That's my opinion anyway.

But there are plenty of good practical reasons to shave. I recommend it because the extra sensitivity of naked skin makes penetration sex feel better. There's nothing like the delicious wet tingle of a shaved cock and cunt grinding against each other. Moreover, as my lovely sub Simone once put it: "oral sex is so much more enjoyable when you're not picking pubic hairs out of your teeth." And personally, when I find a woman who has given herself a full Brazilian shave or wax it just makes me want to dive in and never some up for air. So I definitely count myself as lucky since Simone has the Brazilian look and I think it makes her cunt look both sleek and vulnerable.

Of course it bares saying that shaving is a real commitment. Stubbly skin is painful to brush against with lips or tongue, so you need to regularly shave with a sharp razor. I've been able to shave without causing myself any ingrown hairs, but Simone was not so lucky. After dealing with ingrown hairs for years, from both waxing and razors, Simone finally resorted to using laser hair removal. It's been a success, I can say. And ultimately it has caused her skin a lot less irratation.

But even with this talk of full Brazilians as my preference, I can still appreciate a groomed pussy that still leaves a patch of pubic hair on the venus mons. A nice rectangular "landing strip" or triangular "fan" can be very nice. Before Simone started using laser hair removal, I remember enjoying the sensation brushing fingers through her soft pubic patch while hearing her purr. But since I appreciate a zen-like simplicity in my aesthetics, I can also appreciate the sleek pencil thin style of pubic hair patch.

Hey, while we're on the subject of grooming shapes, it bears mentioning that I rather appreciate the exotic possibilities that come from shaving a woman's pubic hair into unusual designs. Anyone out there ever groomed their own pubic hair into an unusual shape? I only just discovered this website where you can buy stencils to help you shave hearts, spades, butterflies, and more. I feel so behind the times! Check out this website and note it also has good advice on shaving techniques.

It all makes me think that I would love to play a scene where as a Dom I would tie down my sub and use a stencil to shave her pubic hair into a sexy shape as a way to mark her as my own.
