Is it normal to leave pubic hair natural?

0

The thing that worries me the most about having sex for the first time is my pubic hair. If it weren’t for that I think I would be totally comfortable. I get the feeling it is normal to shave it all off? Is that right? Or do other girls have the same worries as me?
The reason I don’t shave it all off is
1. stubble = ow + itch
2. what about ingrown hairs?

I do hair removal for the rest of my body, just not around there.
I am very nervous that when I first have sex, the guy will think it is disgusting and will tell everyone that I don’t shave and everyone will think that I am weird.

A word to the wise; if a partner (mainly men) are disgusted by pubic hair, then they aren't mature enough to play with a vagina. It's your body, groom yourself however you want!

it is 100% normal!! i mean if it wasnt then it wouldnt happen to everyone in the first place The thing about if a man is disgusted that you have pubic hair he can just step off because it is your choice whether or not you shaveJust Pro-Tip: This means you will need to bathe and shower more often like every 2-3 days U w U

I was super worried about that as well, but the people who mind don't matter, and the people that matter don't mind! It's part of your body, you do what you want to with it. If they're really honestly offended by the fact that you don't want to spend time doing things like grooming there, they aren't the good kind of person.

It is such a ball ache to shave, and it itches like heck when it grows back. If the guy you're thinking of having sex with has a problem with you having pubic hair, he is not worth it.

It's a complete personal choice. If you want to shave it, do. If not, don't. Believe it or not, a lot of guys probably don't actually mind it as much as you'd think. People just seem to have 'shaved is better' hammered into their heads when, although there probably are some guys who don't like it, just as there are some girls who don't like having it, if they're willing to sleep with you in the first place, they don't care. And if they do, they're not worth sleeping with.

Shaving leaves us vulnerable to all manner of physical ailments. It is natural to have pubic hair.Shaving pubic hair only removes a cushion against friction, leaves microscopic open wounds and exposes you to infections.
Found this on line for you,and any one else thinking to shave off all the time is a good thing.
"Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles left behind, leaving microscopic open wounds. Rather than suffering a comparison to a bristle brush, frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture medium for some of the nastiest of bacterial pathogens, namely Group A Streptococcus".<br/."Additionally, I've seen cellulitis (soft-tissue bacterial infection without abscess) of the scrotum, labia and penis as a result of spread of bacteria from shaving or from sexual contact with strep or staph bacteria from a partner's skin. Some clinicians are finding that freshly shaved pubic areas and genitals are also more vulnerable to herpes infections due to the microscopic wounds being exposed to viruses carried by mouth or genitals. It follows that there may be vulnerability to spread of other STIs as well."
Hope this helps :-)

If a guy is disgusted by a normal body function, he is not someone you want to be with anyway.
It is 100% natural and common to leave your pubic hair unshaved.

I tend to keep it trimmed with a pair of scissors (that are washed frequently) and not worry about actually being bare. I have some biological experience and pubic hair is there for a reason. If a guy says that you have to shave your pubic hair, tell him he has to shave his and see how quickly he backpedals.

Body hair has to be one of the most natural things ever.
A while ago (before I got a boyfriend), I used to think the exact same, so what I'm going to tell you, comes from someone who's been in your situation: Your body is beautiful, because it's a part of YOU. Every line, every scar, every spot, every hair.
You are a virgin, and if you are nervous about your first time (because of hair), I advise you to do this: don't have sex. Make love with a person you love (cheesy, I know), and who loves you back. It makes things far easier, and if a person loves you, they most certainly won't be bothered by hair. They fell in love with YOU, not hair, or the absence of it.
If you choose to do it with someone you don't have a particularly romantic relationship with, or a relationship at all, it still won't matter to them. If it does, well, it means that they do not deserve having the privilege of being your first time.
If you already have a person in mind, how about talking about the hair first? It might give you a preview of their reaction (stay away from immature guys!).
If you do not feel comfortable in shaving/waxing it all off (like me), don't.
It's your body, not anyone else's. You do what you feel okay and safe in doing.
If you want to keep it controlled, instead of shaving, you could carefully cut it with round scissors. It's what I do, hihi.
I'll leave you with lyrics by Tim Minchin:
"This is my body
And I live in it
It's 31
And 6 months old
It's changed a lot since it was new
It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
I often try to fill it up with wine
And the weirdest thing about it is
I spend so much time hating it
But it never says a bad word about me"
Be calm, and trust me: feel comfortable with yourself and your partner, and everything will be alright!
