Question
should i shave my vagina hair before having sex? i've never had sex before.
What else should i prepare?
Answer
There is no reason to shave before having sex, or ever. It would be more important to have discussed risk for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, have started a reliable method of birth control and make sure your partner intends to use, and has, a condom available.
