Why don't ment like pubic hair on girls, but seem to love it on themselves?

Question

I really want to know. My boyfriend wants me to stay shaved and smooth, but he rarely trims himself.

Why are men like this? Don't they know how bad it hurts to cut yourself down there, how bad nair burns, and how tortuous it is when it grows back, because it itches like HELL and we can't scratch at it? I don't find it disgusting to have pubic hair as long as it's trimed and under control, but if Steve (boyfriend) ever sees it, the mood tends to die almost instantly.

Could someone please educate me as to why men hate hair on women, but have man pube-fros of their own?

Ok, I will take this time to point out: My boyfriend isn't a complete jerk just because he has a personal prefrence. He was just an example of what I was talking about with my question. I'm not planning on leaving him. I'm pregnant with his kid, I gave him my virginity, and ever since he found out about the pregnancy, he won't even let me carry my own dishes to the sink anymore because he doesn't want me to get hurt.

Last night he mentioned that he didn't like it and he didn't want to have sex, but I do suspect that it's because he's afraid to do anything while I'm pregnant. The subject has come up before, and it has stopped us from having sex a time or two, but my boyfriend isn't the big issue here, it's just me wondering why men never seem to like pubic hair.

I've been to an art musem where there was a painting of a naked women (which is apparently art) and she had pubic hair. there was a crowd of men wondering when the razor was invented, or if she'd ever heard of one.

Answer 1

i think its just a matter of personal preference....cause all of my past bfs have preferred for me to actually have hair! With my first bf, I shaved cause thats what i thought guys liked and he was like...hon...i prefer natural...luckily....i havent had super hairy men either !

Answer 2

Actually, a lot of men do want to shave there if that's what their woman wants.
Just have a look at the mens health forum, every other question asks if they should shave.
Personally...I don't like a man to shave...I like a man to look like a man and hair is very much a part of that.
As a woman I chose to shave because that's what feels good to me.
However my preference/style is "Landing Strip" its the best of both worlds...neat and trimmed in the front, and completely shaved down below....nothing like silky smooth labia.
Never use neat or Nair, those are very harsh, dangerous chemicals, they've been trying to removed from the market for years.
As far as the discomfort of hair growing back...I really only notice that when I shave my entire cha-cha....just shaving the labia....never do I experience any discomfort.
To me the bottom line is it looks and feels nice and feminine,and men are supposed to have hair, its masculine.

Answer 3

First of all, not all men hate pubic hair on women. Some do, but there are plenty out there who don't. I just keep mine neatly trimmed & my boyfriend has never complained about it!

Secondly, it is YOUR body, not his. If you don't want to go through all the hassle of shaving or waxing or Nair, then don't. I would tell him that he can either deal with the hair or not have sex with you...somehow I have a feeling he'd eventually come around.

Answer 4

Don't let your boyfriend speak for all men.

I prefer pubic hair on women. That shaved look just looks weird and bizarre. Neatly trimmed hair is good, but not a rainforrest.

Why do you and many women always use the phrase "men" and "why are men this and that" when you base it off the opinion of one man?

Answer 5

Not all men are like that. It sounds like your boyfriend has a controlling personality. You need to stand up for yourself.

Just let him know that you are not going to shave anymore unless he does the same. Don't let him make you feel bad for having pubic hair - and don't let him boss you around. If you wish to keep some hair - then do so. My guess is as soon as he realizes you definitely aren't going to shave it - then he will eventually get used to it and stop asking. lol :-)

Answer 6

It is a trend, but many women do it for the own reasons not because their boyfriends/husbands want them to. If you find this unfair of your boyfriend to ask of you, than suggest that he does the same or at least trims himself to make you happy.

Also, nair burns because you are not supposed to use it on your genitalia. It says so on the box.

Answer 7

I can't stand hairy women either. Perception creates reality. Your perception is that all men have hairy balls and don't shave them because of your boyfriend. That's your reality. Shaving down there doesn't cause that much itching. In fact, I find that shaving down there causes me to itch less. Maybe you are using a razor down there. That will irritate your skin. Natty-Lea is exactly right. Your boyfriend doesn't have a gun to your head. He is not forcing you to shave down there. No one shaves down there unless they really want to.

Answer 8

I don't know the answer as to why, but it does appear to be common. But there are some men who PREFER the women to keep it to a trim and that's it.

Anyways, if I were you, I'd tell your b/f "If you want me to be shaved, then you have to be shaved. If I can keep it to a trim, then you won't have to shave."

Answer 9

Well, I'm a man and I think shaving your pubes is silly, period.

I'm a virgin so I really can't comment on which is "better", but from my knowledge (*cough*internet porn) I really think women look better with hair down there. Shaved looks weird to me.

Answer 10
