I just turned 14 a monthish in a half ago.. and well, I’m having trouble understanding things.. My stepmom, tells me I could shave if I wanted bc its just that guys like it more, but my mom says “NO NEVER EVER DO THAT” And yeah.. And im not really going to be like, having sex for a while, but I am REALLY self concious about myself… ;l im under a depression stage, been in it since I was 10.. and I just wanted some othe opinion, so should I shave down there? ;l

Answer #1

im turning 14 this month but I dont shave down there its too awkward if your not going to be having sex for a while then you shouldnt shave down there unless your ready , so enjoy life and worry about that stuff when the time comes

Answer #2

Its totally up to u. Seen as though your not planning on having sex then it wouls say thers not really any point but if it would make you feel better go for it. Its a chore having to keep it up though, it can be irratatating, itchy, and pricky when it grows back .Honest opinion iwould say dont really do it because its rather annoying but thats up to u ! x

Answer #3

Answer #5

Why not? She doesn’t look at your crotch, does she?

I’d go ahead and do it. It’s a little hygenic, too. Just because you’re shaving doesn’t mean you’re sexually active.

Just go for it! 8D

Answer #6

you could if you want to. but you said that you are not planning to have sex, are you? so no one will see anything down there cause we always wear clothes.

Answer #7

Well, if you don’t want to shave, you could trim it a little if you’d like. If you’re curious about it, I would try it once and if you like it, continue, if not, don’t. But yes, it does protect that area from things like irritation of being rubbed by your pants and all that fun stuff, it’s like a cushion if you want to think of it that way. Also, if you do start shaving, the first few times, it will be scratchy and odd feeling, so if you think you will shave when you become sexually active, you could start before then, that way you’ll be used to it and comfortable with it by the time that comes and so when you do something sexual, you’ll be thinking about the good feeling instead of how itchy your crotch is. I hope I helped =)

Answer #8

Well, I’d say its really your choice if you want to shave down there. If you’re not planning to have sex, then I’d say don’t do it since my understanding that shaving down there can be really annoying and irratating. I’m 23 and don’t shave down there for one I haven’t found my Mr. Right to be with, and another thing, some people told me I shouldn’t do it since they say it protects that area. If you really feel self conscious about shaving down there, then I’d do it if it’ll make you feel better. But, then its really your choice. Good luck and wait til your married to have sex which that might be awhile since you’re 14. Take care!! And don’t do anything stupid. Oh, one more thing, don’t worry about what other people think and that includes your stepmom thinks.

Answer #9

Since you’re not having sex, I would probably say no, since no one’s going to see it anyway. BUT on the other hand, it IS cleaner if you do… but my mom says that it protects your coughAREAcough a bit… like prevent stuff from falling in? or whatever? I dunno…

just like a random thought, I shave my arms, and legs, and underarms, and the hair that grows after I have shaved it tends to be rough and prickly… would that be the same thing to the area?

for me, I’m going to shave it when I plan to have sex, or when I’m old enough. maybe around 25? or I might not even : P

your stepmom seems to be the stylish, fashionable type of mom, while your mom seems like the traditional ones. my mom is more traditional… so my advice might reflect that ><

Answer #10

it’s UNCOMFORTABLE!!! I would wait it out as lonnnggg as you possibly can.

Answer #11

I think whether to shave or not is entirely your own decision. I mean I’m seventeen years old and I had my first boyfriend at fifteen who was the first boy I did sexual stuff with, and the first boy to actually see me down there lol, and I didn’t shave nor trim one bit when I was with him. and by me not shaving nor trimming at that age was a huge step for me because I seriously am one of the most self conscious people you will ever meet. so if I can do it, you can do it! lol. stress less about what the other person thinks, when you do start getting into that kind of stuff they will either be completely new at it as well and not even know what to expect, or they will have expectations but they’re not going to rip on you if your different to their previous partners? everyone is different. so if you feel you want to give it a go, then give it a go! if your scared or still a bit iffy about it, leave it for now and come back to it later when it really matters.

there is also the factor mentioned below about the hair growing back thicker, thats a possibility to take that into consideration lol.

but seriously stress less. the more time in life you spend on worrying about what other people think, the more time you’ll waste of your own where you could be happy and feel like your on top of the world.
