Do you Shave?

Ok ladies, this question is for you, guys if you really want to answer you can. Do you all shave your legs, arms, underarms, etc.? Because I was talking to a girlfriend of mine and I was going on and on about shaving my legs and arms and thinking of just getting them waxed for the summer so I don't have to deal. When wham, she informs me that she doesn't shave, never has and that guys find it sexy. So...yeah. I find it vaguely disgusting really. So I have to wonder, ladies do you buy this non-shaving attraction thing and guys, do you think it's sexy in any way to rub up against hairy legs/arms?

Ew.
Any guy that finds that sexy isn't a guy I wanna be with.
Ew.

It doesn't bother me unless it's ridiculously noticeable.

i'm pretty bad at keeping up with leg shaving--probably once a week hehe . . . but my leg hair is really, really blonde so it's only visible in the sunlight and it's really fine and soft, it's never been prickly. so i can get away with shaving only once a week pretty easily.
underarm hair, i keep up with, especially since when i go to the gym, i wear tank tops. i don't want anyone dealing with bushman armpits.
idk why anyone would bother shaving their arms, though, unless their arm hair is particularly dark, coarse, or thick.

there's a reason men prefer blondes
and it's the hair factor, more than anything else

Wtf? I've never met a guy that found hirsute women attractive, but I suppose it takes all kinds
I am blessed with almost no body hair, but all key areas are shaved/waxed regularly, and I can't imagine why any woman would NOT want to, quite honestly. Deodorant on unshaved pits? That's like smearing frosting on bigfoot - ew. I don't see how you men do it ><
Haylo - have you ever tried sugaring? I swear by it.

What's sugaring? I shave everything, the reason I bother with my arms is because i'm brown-skinned and my arm hair is a darker color than my skin, thus it's visible. It's not like wildly growing or anything, but I prefer my lower arms to be smooth so shaving or nair is called for. Nair used to have this stuff that you just rolled on like deodorant, it was fantastic for arms, but now they don't make it anymore.

Sugaring 101I understand a number of salons are offering this now, but I do it at home.
I started using stuff I saw a long time ago that didn't work very well. Then, a few years ago, I tried Nads and was sold again (it works really well).
More recently, a friend gave me a recipe to make my own at home - it's a LOT cheaper that way (Nads is $20 a tub).
It works similarly to waxing - you apply a layer in the direction of the hair growth, apply the cloth strip on top, rub it a few seconds to get it adhered well, then rip off in the opposite direction of hair growth very quickly.
I found the 3 keys to success were 1) make sure you exfoliate the area really well first, 2) dry it well and dust with baby powder or talc before applying the sugaring junk, and 3) do not forget to moisturize after.
Takes trial and error, but once you get it down, it takes no time.
It does not stick to the skin like wax does, just the hair, which is why I love it,and at least for me, my skin recovers much faster. I've had hot wax rip off skin before (on my eyebrow... fucking ouch).
Major plus? It washes off with soap and water - so, say you are doing your brows, your kid comes in and bumps you, and you smear the sugaring paste all over your eyebrow, you can just wash it off and start over. Once you are all done with all areas, just hop in the shower.
Wow, I sound like a commercial... anywho, you get the idea lol

I also like Magic Shave. It comes as a powder, you mix some with water to make a paste. Put it where you want hair gone, then scrape it off later. Doesnt hurt like waxing, just sounds more uncomfortable than it really is.
(For lady parts, use the sensative powder)

Waxing and shaving your chest is for faggots.
Back hair is disgusting.

I couldn't get into the sugaring thing because for the life of me, I just can't do my own waxing type of thing unless it's my eyebrows. downstairs, it's just awful. I mean I love a brazilian, but it's SO expensive to get done professionally and I won't/can't do it myself. I love nair, but it takes so long to just sit around waiting for it and what do you do for 10 minutes while you're waiting for it to be ready to come off, walk around with cream on your crotch or sit in the bathroom and wait are your only options, really, so I've gotten a little complacent.
however, to answer your question - i can't imagine walking around without shaving. it would be totally disgusting. i feel gross if i haven't shaved for two days, much less ever. my hair doesn't grow particularly fast, nor is it very dark, but man.. i prefer that fresh-shaved feeling. only time I go more than 2 days without shaving is if I'm spiting Jonathan for not having shaved his face for too long and his prickliness is hurting my face. eye for an eye!

Last chick I went down on hadn't shaved in like a week, didn't bother me *shrug*
Now if it was a jungle, I'd have been a bit grossed out.

well it varies from area to area.. bikini area you don't have to shave as often, and in fact shouldn't shave as often because your skin is too sensitive there and the hair too coarse - if you shave lots down there, your bikini line won't be happy with you.
legs/pits, however.. those are a different story. I do those every day, personally.. well, not my thighs. hair doesn't grow there for me really, way less there than on my arms even and I'm not a hairy person. since it's just calves and pits it's like a 5 minute daily endeavor, max.
I figure.. I don't like hairy guys. If I don't like hairy guys, I should probably grant the courtesy of not being a hairy girl.

I trim my shit downstairs, as a courtesy.
I couldn't give two shits less if my crotch is a manjungle, personally.
