To Bare or Not To Bare (Update)

With the exception of swimsuit season, I do not particularly give my pubic hair region much thought. In my last relationship, he was from an era when the full look was a very good thing. That worked for me. The maintenance and up keep were very low and worked just fine for the both of us. Now that the relationship is over (hence he shouldn't be seeing it again any time soon) I thought it might be time for a change. Currently I have this over grown little garden down there (mmm, I have to wonder if that might have been a little too much information...) which at the very least needs some reshaping. As embarrassing as this is to admit, I'm sort of lazy when it comes to removing body hair. I do manage to keep any stray upper lip, chin, and eyebrow hairs out of sight, but for the most part I tend to let legs and underarms go for days before I take a razor to them. So, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of having to begin daily pubic hair maintenance.

That started me wondering...just how important is this pubic hair stuff? From seeing a handful of porn I understand that bare has its advantages. Just like I don't really care for having to stop and remove a hair from my mouth, I would assume the same would hold true for guys. Also, panties must feel amazing against the smooth skin! Plus, I wonder if you feel just a little more daring, a little more exposed walking around bare as the day you were born. The drawback though...the up keep. That terrible growing out stage where you feel and look a little bit like a porcupine isn't pleasant for anyone. Then if you want to avoid the porcupine growing out stage you have to maintain that smoothness daily. Ick...sounds like too much work for my 5am showers. A sleepy me and a razor at my crotch probably wouldn't be a good idea. I've given myself enough tiny nicks on my legs to know that my crotch probably wouldn't be any different. I've been told there are some amazing gels and creams out there that would eliminate the chance of self-mutilation. So maybe this bare thing is doable.

I could take the landscaping approach and just thin the top and smooth out the edges a little. Actually, I'd probably end up snipping and shaving and trying to "even it up" so much that I'd be left with a stray hair right in the middle. That mental picture is pretty amusing. And of course when the hair starts to grow back... Of course, maybe I could just go somewhere and have it done. As long as it didn't involve wax and cotton strips I would gladly pay to lay back and let someone else take charge. My favorite lady down at the local Super Cuts might not agree though.

I'm going to do something...I'm just not sure what yet. I was asked to take a before shot (which I have, but I'm not sure you actually need a visual after my vivid description above) and then an after shot. I'm just not sure what the after shot is going to look like. Choices choices choices! Help me out. Guys...how do y'all feel about pubic hair? Ladies...how do y'all feel and if you've got some tips or tricks please share. That is what comments are for!

***Well that after shot would look very bare. I took a suggestion for Veet gel cream (love that stuff...easy to use and doesn't make me smell!) and now I'm bare. Makes me think of that poem Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear... Well, Naughty Girl isn't very fuzzy either!
