    I can go months with out shaving. I gets pretty bad. My boyfriend doesn't mind it too much. He says that as long as my down there stays on the up and up, thence doesn't care. He also said that he would shave my legs for me.. That sounds nice. Kinda.

    Men and society define what is perceived as attractive, and women conform to that as best as they could. The opposite is not true. You can see the proof of this throughout history. On the contrary, society has made it so that men feel that body hair is more masculine. It's all about society. Why don't women put up beauty standards and have men conform to them the way they're doing to us now? To that, I don't know. I think the tradition started when women started wearing more revealing clothing. You know, shorter dresses, sleeveless tops, more revealing swimwear, etc. Me, I don't wear any revealing clothing. And I'm asexual, and kind of dominant. So I never shave. Go figure ;)

    I personally am a fan of helping one spouse, whenever possible, so I say tell your hubby you want him to shave them.

    i always wondered why women had to go through this? n thought men were simple and lucky - had to only shave off their beard if they didnt want to keep it. and just then, there were celebrity men with shaved n shiny chests O_O

    I love it when my hubby shaves me. The criticism is definitely constructive because it results in a much more attractive me!

    I just went two months without shaving my legs- in my defense I was taking a lot of flights around Europe and did not want to deal with either taking a razor through security or spending enough time to do it while being in dirty hostel showers. I shaved my legs today, and although its kind of a pain to keep up smooth legs I really like the feeling of soft material on freshly shaved legs. Maybe that's why some people do it so often.

    Some years back, my wife said that she was tired of shaving, and asked me if she could drastically cut back on the amount of foliage to be clipped. I was cautiously enthusiastic, and in a short time, wildly enthusiastic! Our love life got a lot hotter! She still shaves her lower legs if she needs to wear a skirt, but has left the area near "the gates of Glory", unshorn. The only concern my wife had, was a physical with her doctor, who told her that she wished her husband would not be difficult about it..

    Blegh I hate shaved women's legs. Epilation is so much better. Or permanent removal.

    My sister who is one of those "everyday shavers" often teases me about not shaving. I too started shaving my arms in gradeschool. So now i'm stuck with legs and arms unless i want to truly look like my father. Now that winter is leaving im stuck having to decide whether to keep what i refer to lovingly as my hair pants or not. My husband teases me relentlessly while we are in bed. He rubs my leg and pretends to talk to the dog, a pomeranian. Now clearly my legs arent this hairy but he teases me non the less.

    Hahaha, great story! I had to read it again, because I was reading all these comments, and forgot the original story :)

    I myself use wax (5 yrs now) and it's great, I forgot all about shaving troubles :) My dark, thick and long 'pets' have gotten lighter and I'm so happy for it. If I had light leg hair I would never shave either, lucky you.

    Great story again, very entertaining and useful :)

    ha ohhh god i just have 2 say that i loved the comment where some1 said that they like 2 c how long their leg hair can go and how she doesnt like shaving her legs cuz her hairs r like little pets LOL i just burst out laughing i thought it was hysterical



    & if ne1 cares @ all, lol, id like 2 throw out there that i think shaving is fun n feels good actually once u get used 2 it and accept that it's just one of those things u hate wasting time on but have 2 do. well u dont have 2, but i guess we're expected to, u kno? but i hardly cut myself shaving @ all ne more tho, n i think it would b a lot easier on u, SS, if u shaved more frequently, cuz when u have longer leghair it takes 4ever to shave (@ least for me becuz im such a perfectionist haha) n feels like slavelabor, honestly! so i understand y u avoid shaving until eventually u have 2 give in, and ive tried ur way of going about shaving (well, maybe not 2 the spider sensation extreme.. haha :)) and it just doesnt work for me becuz my legs were never completely smooth afterward, and whenever i did have 2 shave it was so time consuming and painful, but if u shave every day or every other day it's frankly much easier n less overwhelming, so u find urself getting better @ shaving and not dreading it so much ;)



    n just something random 2 think about if u're in the contemplative mood.. shaving is so costly! i mean im sure in the average lifetime we will each spend hundreds of dollars on hair removal products.. wouldnt it just b cheaper 2 get hair removal surgery in the 1st place? saves time and $ and u still get the smoothie smooth feeling.. however, if u're middle aged it wouldnt save u the cash u've already spent, rite? ha.. but im only 16 so i think it would b a wise investment, what do u think?



    i just wish the natural hairy look was sexy to every guy, i'd b so in luck :D

    I shave my legs at all times during the year except for winter. I like the smooth feeling, and it isn't too much of a hassle to shave them. I get some sort of odd satisfaction from removing the shaving cream.

    That is funny! It has happened to me too, but your story was funnier.

    I thought I was cool when I shaved the light colored hairs on my arms when I was a teenager. It wasn't so cool when the hairs on my arms grew back blacker than the chimney soot!

    Wow - I wish I could have that sense....remember how our mothers always told us to never wear underwear with holes, because you just might end up at the hospital and the doctors and nurses would see your "holey" underwear?....well that has happened to me....and so has being in a situation where I sure would have looked better if I shaved my legs...wish I had that kind of good sense and timing....thanks for the comment...SS

    That's very amusing that you thought something was crawling up your leg. :)



    My wife hates shaving, too. She's got a good sense of whether or not it's a good day to do it, however, and I applaud her for that. :D

    LOL! Thank you so much for the laugh, I needed it. I hate shaving my legs too, but also hate when they feel hairy. The drama that comes with being a woman. sigh. Lucky for me, Hubby doesn't mind hairy legs so I don't shave them often unless I'm wearing a skirt. Take care. :)
