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?

I have friends who shave everything and I have friends who don't trim even a bit. I'm towards the barer end of the spectrum, I shave some and trim what's left because I think it looks nice and tidy, and I like that. I shave my "bikini area" hair into a nice little triangle and I shave some of the hair that's on my vulva, and for the rest I get little nail scissors and just trim it so it's short - I find it more comfortable in underwear and I like how it looks. I think most guys, though, are going to be so happy that you're getting naked together that exactly what your pubic hair looks like will not be an issue - and if you really wanted to know what he thought, like others have suggested, just ask him! I've never had anyone comment on mine, good or bad.

This is exactly what I would have said, so just read this comment twice.

(But as an addendum, I shaved off all of my pubes as soon as my boyfriend and I started getting frisky, because I thought that's what he would like. I kept it like that for a year (!) until I got sick of shaving everything. And as it turns out, he likes the triangle or my natural hair more than shaving it all off because it gives him something to play with.)
