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?

Do whatever you feel comfortable with. You don't have to trim if you don't feel like it. I tend to leave my bush full and don't do anything with it. I like it and my girlfriend likes it too. I have quite a wild soft jungle. You or your partner can hold the hair out of the way during oral sex. I think it's nicer than trimmed or shaved because sometimes that feels prickly. If I really want a change, I buzz my hair down with an electric trimmer, but I only do from my clit down and my bikini line and leave the mons hairy.

If you do decide to trim, do it carefully, either through a comb with scissors or with an electric trimmer (they are about $20), and do it a few days before the sex so it doesn't feel quite so trimmed. You can also condition or rub a gentle moisteriser on your pubes so they are even softer.
