Question
I feel ready to have oral sex with my partner and im scared that she will see that i have a large amount of pubic hair and not want to participate. Should i shave my crotch or leave it hairy. im too scared to ask her preference for fear of her laughing. What should i do?
Answer
Glad you asked - my opinion is NOT! You may experience more trouble than it is worth and if she cares about you - the hairiness is part of you, so she will not mind. Please see the information on this site about shaving: www.pamf.org/teen/health/skin/pubichairremoval.html
