Soooo I have about zero experience with sex. I've made out with guys, and that's it, until now.

Recently, I just started sort of maybe kind of seeing this boy, and we've been fooling around. It's all fine and dandy and lovely, except for the fact that I'm kind of self conscious about my pubic hair. I don't trim or shave or wax or anything, since I've never had a need to before, and now I'm super worried he's going to think I'm super gross or hairy.

This is exacerbated by the fact that every time we start getting intense and a little more "hands-on" with the making out, he says that he really wants to go down on me. He's probably said this a million times now, and I am so freaked out that if I say yes he'll be totally squicked out by the hair.

I'm not THAT hairy of a person: it's not like a jungle down there or anything, but I just want to trim and make it a little neater, but I have NO IDEA how to or where to even begin or what it's supposed to look like.




...so, yes, this is my neurotic, over-thinking side showing through. Help?

If you want to trim, do it in the shower with small, sharp scissors. You don't have to take a ton off, but if you want to, you should start by taking off a little at a time. When you're done, make sure to rinse really well to get all the hair off.

Thanks. I don't know why this seems so strange and hard/confusing to me, but I just can't wrap my brain around it X_x

Another way to trim is to get a guy's beard-trimmer and run it along. It leaves, on me, a short, soft stubble. I rarely nick myself with it, and when I do, I hardly notice except I might have a spot of blood or something. (I tend to do a "reverse landing strip" like this, standing over a small wastebasket to catch the falling fur, and then hop into the shower...)
