pubic hair removal

I hope this does not seem silly....Is removing the pubic hair safe?  My husband would love most of it removed for sexual pleasure.  I have done it once or twice to please him but worry that removing all the hair takes away a protective barier.

my friend just started shaving and i asked her about the itchiness. i think the key is to shave often (like every couple days). thats what i have been hearing anyway. i still cannot get over how it looks when the hair is gone. doesnt look natural or something. maybe one day i will give it a try.

I tried removing the public hair... and the itch was unbearable.... is there any way that I can do to reduce the itchness?  I shave one every 2 week.

To me it feels much cleaner to shave, dh and I have done it for years. It is all personal preference.

I don't know about growing it back. I shave at least every other day - so there's never itching or discomfort at all ;-)

I forgot. I once read an informal gyn poll that suggested most women in their teens/twenties shave, with decreasing popularity among older women.

I can't stand the way it feels when it is growing back.  It's like the worst kind of stubble!!  And..when it gets long enough, it sticks through your undies/pants and drives me nuts!
I'm with Oceans3.  Makes it seem like a little kid to me.  Funny, I've always thought that, but never heard anyone else say it out loud.

Bye, all--MH
