The Joy of a Shaved Pussy

With or without hair, your pussy is something superbly erotic and therefore it shouldn't matter whether you shave or not. Having said that, I think every woman should try the "bald look" at least once. A hairless vulva reveals the sexy shapes and soft texture of the labia, the clitoral hood and the mons.

A freshly shaved bald pussy waiting for some attention.

And it's not just about the look, it's also about the "feel". Being smooth lets you experience more sensations during sex, since the skin on your pussy will be aware of the slightest licks, kisses and caresses. Everything gets super sensitive! It also gives your partner easier access to your pleasure spot and more reasons to spoil you with things like hot-oil vulva massages or endless oral sex (no hair in the mouth )

As a man, I can say this: Nothing compares to the tenderness of a freshly shaved pussy. The feeling of touching it with your fingers or your tongue and lips is beyond description. And the sensation of cupping your mouth around a big hairless pussy is simply out of this world!

Some Cultural Aspects of Pubic Hair Removal

Shaving your hair around your genitals is something very personal and if it is your first time doing it you will feel very naked. But remember that there is nothing strange or unnatural about it. In fact, women have been removing their pubic hair for the longest time, usually for hygienic reasons. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans were already doing it and so were countless others throughout the centuries that followed. In some cultures they did it for religious reasons. In Islam for example it has always been a requirement.

In western cultures it's mostly an issue of personal preference. Some people enjoy it, some don't. Still, a woman who shaves or trims her pubic hair is usually seen as more attractive and feminine. When the author Charles Panati did a survey for his book Sexy Origins and Intimate Things, he found that almost 70% of men found a shaved pubic area irresistible on a woman.

As I mentioned earlier hygiene is also factor. It is easier to keep your genital area clean when there is less hair. This doesn't mean that having a bush is unhygienic; it simply requires a little more work in the shower. So even if being bald doesn't automatically make you cleaner, it surely feels cleaner and fresher. I don't know a single girl who doesn't enjoy a fresh summer breeze under her skirt when she has no panties on. Now imagine how that must feel after you have just shaved your pussy!

Pouring Hot WAX on my Vagina

Okay, I figured a title like that would get people's attention. I’ll admit that it wasn’t really hot wax on my vagina, it was on my labia.

Let me back up:

(Please note that it's required that you put both hands up to your head gesticulating the "quotes" around certain words with your fingers as you read this.)

Prior to leaving for my "vacation" to Burning Man, I "treated" myself to a Brazilian wax.

I wasn't quite sure what a Brazilian wax meant, but I did know women swore by them and men drooled at them. Did it mean my pubic area would be left completely bare like a twelve year old girl? (That would be a little embarrassing.) Did it require anesthesia? How exactly did the waxer get all-the-way in “there”? Will I scream? Will it feel strangely erotic?

I had bikini waxes before and loved them, so I figured it couldn't be that different. I was about to leave for Burning Man and would be prancing around in 120 degree heat half naked, dehydrated, and tired while worrying about my make-up and which pair of fishnets to wear. The last thing I needed to be concerned about was shaving my pubes, so the wax would eliminate part of my overall “vacation” maintenance.

A few things I learned fast about a Brazilian Wax:

• It hurt like a mother fucker. I let out a pretty hefty yelp at least twice.

• And yes the waxer had my legs open, fidgeted with my labia, ripped my pubic hair from the corners of every available space on my "privates” and even asked me to sit up doggie style, while she made sure all the surface area was completely "handled" correctly.

• I was able to keep some hair. As opposed to an entire bare look. I chose the small “triangle of love,” versus the “landing strip of love.”

• My skin was swollen, red, and burning directly after the waxing. I was instructed to take ibuprofen and put arnica gel or cortaid on my suddenly prickly-pubic- chicken skin to reduce the initial swelling.

• BUT..... it felt totally great after about 24 hours! The smoothness of my own skin "down there" was titillating to say the least. I couldn't believe that it could be so soft.

• And yes, I found out a few days later that it increased sensitivity in all the right places at all the right times, which made up for any pain or discomfort that I experienced.

A Brief History of the “Brazilian” :

The Brazilian wax was introduced to New Yorkers in 1987 when seven Brazilian sisters, Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Jussara, Juracy, and Judseia Padilha opened J. Sisters International Salon in midtown Manhattan. They swore by it’s effectiveness in many aspect: bikinis had gotten skimpier, husbands were suddenly eager to please their wives, and since the hair doesn’t grow back for a month, it was easy to maintain.

A few important things to know about a Good Brazilian:

• Some waxers refuse to do this kind of wax since it is highly personal. The best way to find a good waxer is word of mouth and Jane Cowan in Portland is by far the best Brazilian waxer in Portland, Oregon and one of the best on the west coast. She has clients that visit her from all over the world when they are in the vicinity.

• Your waxer will know you as personally as, well, your lover or gynecologist. So it’s best to just pretend it’s the most normal thing you’ve ever done and laugh it off. Jane will make you feel totally comfortable!

• Do NOT expect it to be easy. It hurts and that’s the bottom line. No pain, no gain.
