Men! Our climate in Africa won't allow not shaving o! The odor that would be coming from that place wont be cool at all. White people can leave the hair and still smell okay cos of the cold in their region.

What about spiritual implications of shaving the hair? You remember what happen to Samson in the Bible? There is power in the natural pubic hair and once it is shaved, the power is gone and nothing can bring it back. Recall that you were not born with it and God who ur it there did not made mistake.

Hmm! Maybe it is a smell you don't like, but it might not be an offensive odor.

Did our forefathers shave them off?

Were our forefathers eating the same thing we are currently shoving down our throats?

6 Reasons Why You Should Shave Your Pubic Hair by lalasticlala(m)

Now, when it comes to pubic hair – shaving it or not, the first factor to be considered it health, then comfort, then physical appeal.
In the end however, it all boils down to personal choice.

There are people who get turned up by long, curly pubic hair and there are those who cannot deal with a pubic region that is not as clean-shaven as Stone Cold Steve Austin’s head.

Still, no matter your preference, you must know these 6 benefits of shaving:

A shaved pubic region is cleaner and healthier. How? One of the places affected by our daily activities is the crotch; sweat and dirt gather there and soon mixes with bacteria, clinging to pubic hair. When you bather, a portion of the clinging dirt remains and soon birth infections. If you are shaven, however, a simple hand-rub leaves you clean.

A shave pubic region has less risk of odour. When you don’t wash of the clingy dirt, your next sweaty session will create odour. Because the crotch does not have enough air circulation the odour soon becomes noticeable and pungent. So, why not shave?

A shaved pubic region is less prone to cuts during sex. Sometimes, when sex involves hairy joystick/vagina, the hair gets in the way and causes cuts in the genitals or condoms. These cuts could be open doorways to infections.

A shaved joystick looked longer, bigger. When you have a farm around your joystick, it looks smaller. Shaves, the joystick borrows some illusory added length.

A shaved vagina/joystick looks inviting, ready for oral pleasure. The average woman/man will be more willing to tongue-please a shaved joystick/vagina than a bushy one. If you want to get really intimate, then stay well groomed down there.

A shaved pubic region allows for more sexual sensitivity. All the skin in the pubic region is sensitive – covering it with a garden is reducing the pleasure area. Shave and allow for direct skin-to-skin contact and of course more pleasure.

For those who still don’t want to shave, make sure you wash your pubic region every well; wear underwear that allow more air circulation; change underwear frequently and keep it short.

I need a summarize copy
[quote author=dkingsman82 post=42252692]Tunde Ajaja

When it comes to personal hygiene, one major aspect that has been trailed by diverse reactions is the issue of keeping or doing away with pubic hair, the hair that grows in the frontal genital area

To some, nothing else nauseates like seeing hair in their partner’s private part, while some people are delighted by it as the sight of it is even a major turn-on for them, and to some others, it really does not matter whether the hair is kept intact or not.

To Mr. Johnson Agbede, a lecturer in his mid 50s, there are a few other things that are as disgusting as seeing a hairy private part. “You know how it feels when you see thick (sometimes coloured) hair in someone’s armpit? That is the way I feel when I imagine anyone keeping his or her pubic hair. My wife knows and she dares not keep it. I don’t keep mine too and I make sure I shave every Saturday,” he added.

Agbede, who is a father of three, said he believes the hair should never be allowed to grow because, according to him, it tends to harbour dirt and cause body odour over time. “Keeping it just does not make sense. For what purpose?” he queried.

But just as much as Agbede despises pubic hair, Mrs. Taiwo Peters, a business woman and mother of two, says she sees nothing wrong with keeping the hair in that region “as long as it is kept clean.” Perhaps, her stance is also informed by her husband’s preference for keeping it intact.

“My husband tells me that seeing it turns him on and that the moment I shave it, I would be on my own. I could trim it mildly but not absolute removal. For him too, he doesn’t shave but he could trim it when it is becoming too bushy.”

Interestingly, those who support it say getting rid of the hair makes them feel clean and fresh while those against it say it does not allow for friction during sex and that leaving it is not harmful in any way. Thus, the argument keeps going back and forth. Findings however revealed that most people shave their pubic hair and their reasons differ.

Notably, the methods people use to get rid of the pubic hair include shaving (with the use of razor, clipper or scissors), creaming and waxing, which is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root before new hair starts to grow back in the area between four and six weeks.

But according to some experts, pubic hair should not be shaved; rather, it should be left as it grows because of the roles it plays as a cover that shields the organs from avoidable infections and friction. They noted that shaving could open up the skin for pathogens bacteria and viruses, thereby increasing the spread of sexually transmitted infections, skin irritation and other skin infections, like Molluscum contagiosum.

In addition, they said the removal of the hair could increase the risk of genital skin infections because small cuts or scratches occasioned by the removal of the hair could open the door for viruses to cause infections.

Even though the situation applies to both men and women, a study published on the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology found that about 60 per cent of women who shave their pubic hair were found to have at least one health complication, and the most common health challenges found were epidermal abrasion (a wound caused by superficial damage to the skin) and ingrown hairs.

The study revealed further that women who are obese are almost twice as likely to report a complication and almost three times as likely if they have total hair removal.

A consultant gynaecologist, Hugh Byrne, told United Kingdom Telegraph that the removal of pubic hair could lead to abscess, a swollen area within body tissue containing an accumulation of pus. He explained that an increase in abscesses as reported had been caused by bacteria that enter the body through the hair follicle that was left open. He however said the solution to such infection could be through the use of antibiotics or an operation.

According to a review of some studies on Journal of American Medical Association, published on Mail Online, the act of removing pubic hair could cause a deficit in the mucous membrane of the skin, which could allow viruses or bacteria to enter the body.

“Waxing causes deficit in the mucocutaneous barrier that may be sufficient for viral entry and transmission, potentially increasing the risk of acquiring STIs,” the report said.

The report added that waxing as a form of removing pubic hair does not only increase the risk of contracting STI, it also causes small injuries to the skin, the underlying structures, micro tearing of muscle fibres, the sheath around the muscle and the connective tissue. This in turn

As a matter of personal hygiene and practicality leaving ur pubic hair for long isn't the best, especially if you find urself in situations where u can't take a bath or change ur undies too much pubic hair breeds lice and fleas, and causes itching and body odor,

Its good to trim pubic hair, leavin pubic hair was good before the invention of clothing.

But its now obsolete cos we wear cloths, forget what d doctor says, they aren't always right, use common sense.

Re: Why You Shouldn’t Shave Your Pubic Hair by Naturalle(f): 10:56pm On Jan 23, 2016
Please for the sake of cleanliness, it is advisable to shave it completely. The hair retains moisture droplets; urine, sweat or natural juice which cld still cause infection when not properly washed, not forgetting the stench.

You can use a shaving cream and accompanying spatula to avoid any skin abrasions.

Re: Why You Shouldn’t Shave Your Pubic Hair by Naomite(f): 11:06pm On Jan 23, 2016
I partially agree with d OP. Indeed it is not advisable 2 shave the whole hair at the pubic area and its isn't healthy 2 leave it bushy and unkept especially in this tropical region such as ours because of the climatic conditions which will inturn make that area irritating and unpleasant 2 the eye. As an health educator, my advice 2 all is that; we should ensure we often trime the hair and also wash our pubic part with only water during shower and everytime we visit d toilet or bathroom #mensanaencuporelsanum#

No! Don't use shaving cream on ur P.V part. Its very unhealthy and may lead 2 some pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) some droplets of the cream might find its way in2 ur V and cause a great deal of damage 2 ur Reproductive OE sex organ as u may call it. Use a new scissors insteed 2 trim the hair a bit 2 allow fresh air grin and ensure u stop wearing tight fitted pant often and also refrain from using saop and disinfectant 2 wash ur private part. It can lead 2 d killing of the mucus and enzymes that protect d external Instruments thereby giving microrgnism otherwise bacteria and viruses free and direct asses 2 the internal part of ur sex organ!
