Default Intimate question

I haven't been on this site for a while but I used to post in the 'separating' section when my husband left me. That was 7 months ago and I'm slowly slowly getting myself back on track.

I just recently starting seeing a guy for the first time since my husband left me. I haven't slept with him yet, and I don't really feel ready at the moment, but it got me to thinking......

What do men 'expect' or like in terms of grooming down below? I am 30, I was with my husband since age 16 so I've never had any intimate experience of anyone else. I'm just not sure about what most men would like or what most women of my age are doing..... at the moment I wax to leave a 'triangle' and trim that....I know that some people take all the hair off or leave only a really thin strip.....shaving there would be a problem for me cos my skin is pretty sensitive and it would make red bumps....my husband leaving has left me with quite a battered self confidence and I would like to make myself look as attractive as possible....

Please can people help me out with some recommendations of what they do and also what men would tend to expect....or does it even matter?? I'd appreciate comments from both men and women, so if no men reply i'll post in the men's section, but i didn't want to at first cos I feel a bit embarrassed that I need to ask this

You're in style, don't worry.
If you want to get create some lingerie shops sell templates for different shapes. :-)

Don't stress...going totally hairless is SO hard to maintain without making your skin look like leathery bumpy cowhide.

I think you're good to go as long as the bikini line is groomed and things are neatly trimmed up.Not a 70's poof but not the baldness of a little kid either.

I think guys each have their own preferences. Before having sex with the last guy I was in relationship with, we were playfully texting each other (not quite sexting though) and I sent him a text asking, “How do you prefer the landscaping on the playground?” Being a rather sharp guy, he caught onto what I was referring to. Actually he later said, he almost lost composure in front of several others when reading text because he knew exactly what I was hinting to.

Anyhow ……. I’m getting the gist most guys like the playground with a little well maintained landscaping. Waxing is good and “Veet” works well in a pinch without having to shave with a razor. I usually wear an old pair of thong underwear when using “Veet” so the cream does not go up into …. well …. ya know ….. and irritate that area.

Good Luck!!!

Male here!

I like the "landing strip".
Kinda reminds of where I'm at, at the moment.

Veet rocks...especially the sensitive skin formula.I think it's in a light blue bottle. I used the green bottle once and OMG...never again.

takes the hair much longer to grow back using veet or waxing.

Guy here too. Definitely trimmed for me. Either landing strip or little V, whatever. Totally bald can be sexy but only on certain women, though I don't have a clue as to why, I think it must have something to do with body shape.

But it is all very personal. I know there are some guys that love the hairy thing as well.

Male perspective, sleek, 100% clean, for me, just seems so much more erotic. Severely manicured will pass as well.

My husband doesn't really care what it looks like as long as its not too fuzzy down there. I've done the strip, the v, bald and he just didn't care. My favorite personally is the strip, its just hard to get it straight

Hi from a guy, LOL
Honestly, do what makes you feel comfortable. Groomed is key. I personally don't like to get the hair in mouth or nose when I go down on my girl.

However, she doesn't need to be hairless, just trimmed and comfortable with it. The self comfort makes her sexy, not the hair style.

If hairless, don't shave, it's only nice for me when "brand new", after it's scratchy, just like my beard on day 2 or 3. But I would never expect her to do waxing, that's why hair is just fine.

Again, you feel comfortable and if something bugs him, if he's a real man, he will ask you respectfully to make a change. If he doesn't like it and you guys can't meet in the middle he's not worth it anyways.

Have fun experimenting what makes you feel sexy the most!

:-)

My current GF came to me totally waxed, and that's been my preference. She's going to try the laser though. But she doesn't like any hair there; no landing strip or V or anything. And I'm not going to suggest changing it!

But so long as it's neat and trimmed, I'm good. Even a full coat, but trimmed short. Don't like flossing that much.

I think most men are fine as long as there's landscaping of some sort. An unmanicured area can be considered a turn-off by some. My wife does what you do now and that's fine by me.
