Why should you consider shaving or trimming pubic hair?

First of all, don't do it if you don't want to!  There's nothing wrong with keeping your pubic hair and liking the natural look and feel of it.  In fact, pubic hair does (kind of) have a purpose.  Click here to read about it.

That being said, here's a list of reasons for learning how to trim pubic hair and shave your genitals:

• Many people in our society today find it sexually attractive.
• It makes it easier and maybe more pleasant for your partner to perform oral sex on you.
• After you shave (and especially in the beginning) you'll notice that your sensitivity down there has heightened and you notice every little movement when there's no hair to block it.
• It makes menstruation less messy since wetness won't get caught in your hair.
• Some people do it for religious reasons.
• When a man shaves off all his pubic hair, his penis tends to look bigger.
• You can see your own genitals more clearly, which may lead to body exploration, awareness, and acceptance.

How To Trim Pubic Hair

1. Get your comb and scissors ready.  You may also want a mirror to look into.  Look for scissors with a rounded tip, the ones to trim beards and nose hairs are pretty safe.
2. Comb your pubic hair out to eliminate any knots or tangles, and to get all the hair pointed in basically the same direction.
3. Either get in the bathtub, sit on the toilet, or squat over a garbage can.
4. You can comb through your pubic hair and clip it like they do at the barber shop, or you can grab some in between your fingers (which I find easier) and clip it.
5. Alternatively, you can use an electric shaver or beard trimmer.  They're good for quick touch-ups.
6. When you're done, dust off any loose hairs you may have stuck to your crotch.
