I think that men are more afraid than women ... Women respect their bodies a lot more than men. Just my 2 cents ...

How are men more afraid than women?

Mass

Because man have a lot bigger region to shave than women. Moreover ... its a lot more bumpier too ... sort of speak.

Exactly! It's a lot harder for men to shave but we do it anyways for our own comfort. It looks clean and although it might feel irritating for the first couple of weeks.. you adjust to it. I don't see why women can't do the same.

I don't know about you but my women are shaving since they had 15 years old. Its natural, its clean and its normal.

Shaving is natural, clean.. and normal! I agree with that! All women should shave, or at least trim!!

Many people don't shave because they are affraid of cut themselves with the blade. This is so untrue if you use a well known brand.

That's true! I've never cut myself. You just have to do it the right way. I usually go with the grain to avoid any cuts.

Shaving is totally normal. The only way you could hurt yourself is a cut, but you should be carefull. PM me if you want to talk about it. I've shaved many times before, and I can give some great advice.

Guys, please be cautious of people telling you to contact them for personal care advice, especially if your really young. There are perverted people on the Internet and it's best to be careful. Here's some steps on how to groom your private area.

Steps:

1. If your pubic hair is long, trim with clippers or scissors before using a razor for the close shave.

2. Take a warm bath or shower beforehand, it opens your pores and allows you to get a closer shave.

3. Before applying shaving cream, rinse the area with cool water.

4. Apply shaving cream a few minutes before shaving to soften hairs. Consider using a shaving cream with additional moisturizer or aloe.

5. Be sure to use a new blade, the more times you go over an area the more likely you are to irritate it.

6. When shaving, stroke an area no more than twice to reduce skin irritation. On the first stroke, go with the grain to remove most of the hair, then go against the grain for a smooth, close shave. If going against tends to irritate you, then skip that and use both strokes with the grain.

7. Be sure to clean the area afterwards with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection, especially if you cut yourself.

8. Some people find a daily application of baby powder or talcum powder especially helpful after shaving to keep the area dry and irritation-free.
