A question for male DUers.
Which can be answered by our female-lovin' ladies too. :)

Do you really mind if your woman comes to bed without shaving? Let's keep it clean for the mods this morning, but seriously. Is it a big deal if your woman is stubbly? Does the thought of her prickly legs turn you off? (Wondered this while taking the Cosmo quiz). Most of the guys I've been with don't seem to mind, just wanted to get your take.

1. I'd be pretty happy that a woman was joining me.
Er, the answer is: I could not care less.

2. Cosmo quiz, indeed...
:D

No biggie, unless it's a matter of serious discomfort. Some folks have finer hair than others.

See, I even kept it clean. :evilgrin:

4. I love my Lady in all her manifestations.
She often apologises for not having shaved, only to be assured that it isn't a problem.

5. How long has it been called a " take "
" Most of the guys I've been with don't seem to mind, just
wanted to get your take."

7. Two things matter; 1) She's there and 2) She's enthusiastic. Some
guys are o.k. without 2)!!!

Edited on Sat May-22-04 09:17 AM by ET Awful
hell just the fact that she'd crawl into bed with me, stubbly or no, is good enough :).

9. Unless his whole body is baby smooth too...
then any guy who makes a snarky comment about my legs being stubbly can hit the fuckin' road.

10. If you go long enough w/o shaving...
.... then your legs won't BE "prickly". When the hair gets a little longer, it gets soft.

I sleep alone, so I don't expend too much energy on shaving my legs, and frankly I find that removing the hair makes the skin dry (or more dry than if I hadn't bothered).

I imagine if I were sharing a bed, I might make more of an effort (and since summer is coming and I'll be wearing shorts, I'll probably pull out the razor).

The last time I shaved my legs was at the end of January when I had a complete physical.

11. I prefer it.
I also dislike makeups & perfumes. I do like soap shampoo & creme rinses in the shower.

12. My wife is completely perfect, and I adore her
even when she doesn't shave her legs for weeks or months.

She doesn't even have to shower for days, or do her hair, and she still looks far better than either Allysa Milano or Janeane Garofalo.

I am thrilled to just be in her presence.

13. I think DH doesn't like it
but he's too kind to mention it.

I mind it very much, in a cleanliness/tidyness sort of way. So if I haven't shaved my legs and am all stubbly, I usually go to bed in sweat pants. Then, if DH still wants me, he at least knows what he's getting.

18. It's like bathing or perfume--a nice touch, but we really don't care
:)

I know some girls now who demand that their guys shave their chests, etc. so it's becoming less gender-specific. But it all comes down to a nice grooming touch that may be annoying for one party but very enjoyable to the other.

31. A friend of mine asked me why did I do it?
Edited on Sat May-22-04 10:17 AM by Champ
I said this 'it symbolizes the fact that Im a fully grown man and when a woman looks at then she then thinks to herself 'damn! his nails are better then mine!' :D

33. Women seem to have more of a problem
than I do with their 'hairy' legs. As long as they reasonable clean and presentable for the occasion.

34. Nope, the hairier the better! Especially on their chests and chins...
Whoops! You were talking about WOMEN! (says in best Gilda Radner voice) "Never mind....."
