Shaving or trimming your privates at our age?

OMG now I have to worry about my vulva looking old.

Perhaps I'll go to a plastic surgeon, see if he can perform a **** lift for me. Then, maybe I can get an exfoliating treatment. After that, the booty salon for a few highlights and a trim. Last step--don't forget the make-up! A little powder here, a little rouge there...

I just thought of something hilarious: all women should shave their pubes into a huge arrow pointing to the clit.

Gray Pubes ? LOL This reminded me of a episode of Sex and The City. Samantha decided to let it grow, but suddenly found a gray hair and decided on a dye job. The dye job turned the bush bright orange, so back to the shave routine lol I prefer shaved myself , I just trim . Landing strip ? Don't the rest of you men have a heat seeking missle like I do ?

Now, if you want to share about how to keep it tight as you age


Kegel exercises of course

Provides many benefits: Conditioned muscles will make birth easier, and your perineum will more likely be intact (fewer tears and episiotomies), Sexual enjoyment is enhanced for both partners (you can easily perform the big squeeze) It can prevent prolapses of pelvic organs. It can help prevent leaking urine when you sneeze or cough!!

I'm not sure one should be so concerned about "shaky" hands as much as just being able to see "IT" in order to shave IT!!!! So many people our age have such big bellies that I'd think the danger is more in not knowing what the hell you're shaving!!!

Diabetics and people on blood thinners should be using the cream depilatories, but even to use that ... you have to be able to see where you're applying the cream.

Also, some folks are so big they can't even reach their privates to appropriately wipe after using the bathroom ... how would they ever manage to shave "down there" appropriately?

I have had to take care of men who can't reach their own penis in order to urinate because they can't reach around their bellies. You do realize, that as the belly gets bigger and bigger, the arms do not grow longer and longer and at some point, you're not going to be able to reach things that normally we all should still be able to see ... eh?

True and unfortunately when they need to go they have to do it the shower. They are basically handcuffed due to their excess weight.

Thanks for the visual.

Waxing isn't fun, but the secret is to find someone who knows what they are doing and can do it quickly and efficiently. This is not the time for long and slow....

'
I say - leave it to the young ones.

The first bald beaver I saw (on a 40 something gal) - I said to myself .......

1. how silly
2. I guess she is ready for action - at all times - with all guys. '

Hilarious!!! Whats nice (or hygenic) about grey pubic hair - yuk, perhaps we should grow the hair under our arms and legs as well lest people think we have loose morals and are primed for action at every opportunity, it would be hilarious if you judged someone who did it for religious reasons as in the muslim faith!!!. Personally i don't like the experience of 'hairy teeth' ....its a bit like a hair cut on your head, if you don't keep it trimmed it'll look a mess and take twice as long to get back into order. If you and your partner prefer au naturel good luck to you too, who cares, its all a matter of personal preferance. You're certainly not too old though, take no notice of uptight and judgemental man !!!

i became "up to date" on this topic, when i adopted my teens at age 50. at first, i was appalled due to the pre-puberty connotation with my generation. so then, i went to my al anon meeting, the source of all "gossip" and technology related subjects at the coffee meet afterwards! there, one of the guys in his early 40's filled me in as to the "range" of preferences. that was the time the string bikini came out and my kids had them hanging out their pants, but didn't think much about hygeine yet. so, i had to do a rapid update on many of the new "trends". what was funny was that i thought the top triangle of the bikini was the crotch part and was also appalled about the hygeine of all that. i got it straight after a while of constantly asking people questions. career exec gone mom and with a disablity to boot!

as to adults, different people start with different situations. personally, i don't like totaly shaved men or women. it reminds me of pre-op and can be very scratchy or itchy. i also don't like the pubescent look and the hairs actually have a sexual purpose which has been discussed in other threads. however, some have more than they really need.

for some, waxing does not leave problems behind, but for others it's a big mess. i think, if you can afford it, that lasering the extreme "issues" and trimming the rest is preferable. it really depends upon the person, their hygeine levels, the degree of stubble or ingrown hairs, etc.

for the people with nose hair issues, there is a battery operated nose trimmer. my friend got that for her husband on his 30th birthday. she said it was because he was now a man!

as to men looking bigger, give me a break. however, many men seem to think that is true. also many older men are now shaving their chest hairs where we live on the beach to attract the younger generation. again, unless you need your back lasered, to me a hairy chest is "masculine". i'm less concerned about the grey, than the overall attraction of a person. my 50 year female friend tried to dye her pubic hair. so, i did one of my male buddy surveys for her. most men do not like to wear their reading glasses and most of them can't even see what color it is! plus, they are more concerned about the target--or so they tell me.

bottom line: well groomed, within reason and based upon the individual. no stubbles!

Message 2 ... A 51-year old gentleman writes ...
I have started shaving and thought it really is a source of rectal discomfort ...
Now tell us again dear ... what are you doing with yourself to get "rectal discomfort" while shaving around your ummmm ... "Johnson"?


as to adults, different people start with different situations. personally, i don't like totaly shaved men or women.
Some day, we won't have a choice ... not that we have to shave it off.

The older we get the less hair we have so that an older gentleman with a hairy chest is going to lose a lot of it as he ages. Same goes for pubic hair ... less and less and less as we age. Just ask anyone who works in a nursing home on bath day. There are no more hairs on their legs ... nor in the pits ... nor in the groin area.

Not everyone who shaves does so for sexual reasons.

Some women as an example, may have to much hair, that needs trimming or even shaving. For someone who is physically active, swimming, skiing, scuba diving and even kayaking, you wear modern materials in clothing that can rub in such a way that hair is snagged, and it hurts!!!

And if you sweat a lot when working out, having more pubic hair can make one feel wet all the time and then lead to chafing and even odor issues.

FFS, If I were to shave then I would have to start with my chest and work my way downtown. Might have to rent a lawn mower for that job.

Besides as the song says " It aint the meat it's the motion that makes her want to rock."
I talked to a friends daughter wow is a cosmetologist. She has a following of woman that go to her for a shave never knew there were hair styles for that part of the world. She also also bleaching the skin around the anus. I tell ya she makes damn good money.
My personal preference is nicely trimmed. I like a woman to look like a woman and not a prepubescent girl.

The burning question is

Why do you want to know what is going on in total strangers pants?

What are you going to do with the responses?

Will any response change your mind about what you do in your pants?

And no way am I writing on an international forum what goes on in my pants, thats why I wear them to keep something private to me and who I let in them

How can a mature woman's vulva look like a prepubescent girl's vulva?
First of all, it's fashionable. Secondly, it's definitely more hygienic, especially in older women. Thirdly, it's sexier. You can see everything - surely that's sexier than looking at a big bush of hair?

I think it's more esthetically appealing to just shave it off, especially if it's turning gray.


absolutely true! -nothing worse than seeing grey pubes on a hot older chick...
also lots of women who dye/bleach their hair, usually shave her pubes so she doesn't have to explain why the carpet doesn't match the curtains...
also the feeling of skin on skin is sooooo much better!

What colour glow-in-the-dark paint do you use, LV? Maybe you could just shave your message into your pubes, for the sight-impaired..

ok ok its not a " private " part but my girlfriend once shaved my arm pits as she said she wasnt going to Florida with me with " hair " sticking out from under my arms.

however i do think it is necessary for both sexes to shave their " private " parts now and again other wise we would all have forests down there.

Anyway we never went to Florida as after 5 months together she dumped me for not being tall enough for her...............but thats another story.

I just thought of something hilarious: all women should shave their pubes into a huge arrow pointing to the clit.

Some of 'em still couldn't figure it out.
And I have to agree, what IS this "at our age" crap? I see this in the title of thread after thread...'at our age.
What 'age' would that be? Decrepit? Irrelevant? "Go siddown someplace and wait to die" age?
Do whatever the hell you are physically and mentally capable of doing without posing undue risk to your own safety or that of others. If you want to shave your package bald as a cue ball and parade down Main street buck nekkid, have at it!

And yes, there can be hygenic/aesthetic reasons to trim up or shave the south 40.
Having a freakin' PELT bristling out of your swimsuit, excessive moisture/odor (athletes & swimmers) or if you wear a closefitting/closecut leotard or dance outfit,personal taste, whatever.
At our age we can do pretty much whatever we want to and are capable of.
And yes, there ARE methods that don't require sharp objects.
To the dude that needs help with his grooming procedures...do you have access to electricity?( I'll bring horseclippers) If not, I'll bring the sheep shears and a wool carding comb.
