Eep

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?

sti risk

[shellyday.livejournal.com]

i've heard this as well that having the genital area be more bare can lead to increased STI risk. does anyone have a source for this? would this be because the hair would provide somewhat of a barrier to the other person's stuff? any thoughts? i know of course, that if there is broken skin that would pose a risk. but ideas on intact bare skin?

I think it's only dangerous if there are small cuts from shaving. I don't see a reason of it being dangerous if it's just unbroken skin next to unbroken skin.
