my gf was telling me that some girls shave more than their legs, they also shave between their legs too. of of my gf's friend even shaves off all the hair on her pussy (i think she's 13). if a guy did that, guys as school would think he was wierd maybe wonder if he was gay or something. i'm not saying it is wrong, i just never heard of girls shaving between their legs and wonder why they would do it anyway. if a girl doesn't have any hair on her pussy, then it kinda makes her look she not old enough for certian kind of things.

um it doesn't means he is gay lol

lol.... i don't know any guy that shave between his legs. but i know if a guy did and came into the boys locker room at school and other guys saw him while changing, it would make them wonder about him a little. i really don't care what guys do because i like girls and what girls do is more interesting i think.

Girls (and guys) remove hair between their legs because it looks neater and tidier as well as being more hygienic. It can make someone look younger and so from what I've read of people's preferences on this site, guys tend to trim hair so it's shorter but still there and girls either do the same or shave/wax but leave a small strip of hair down the middle.

It's not as uncommon as you might think.

Don't forget to be awesome.

My boyfriend shaves his "area". And I, along with a lot of girls I know, shave my "area" too. For me, it's mostly a hygiene thing. It tends to get stinky down there because of sweat if it's hairy. If it's shaven, I have no problems with smell.
So, to answer your "question", no, guys aren't gay if they shave their pubic region.

For me it's a comfort thing, I shave it all off because it itches if I don't and because the hairs were once so long they... went places that they shouldn't have. And I wasn't about to trim them, I saw no point in trimming when I could just shave it all off and be totally done with it.

And actually, the whole thing changes in size and shape as you grow older so even w/o hair it doesn't look the same as it did when you were a kid.

It's just smoother and when I'm on my period, massive globs of blood don't get caught in all the hair like it used to.
Cuts my showering time by at least 5 minutes.

Ah, yes. And this too.

I wax my hair around my penis and under the penis my arse EVERYTHING! its more hygenic

and it feels nicer for the girl/guy i think when they are touching you

Not really gay.
My boyfriend and I both shave, it's just not nasty, plus the period thing.

LOL, Danny...it's an education, huh?

Shaving/trimming is more common than you think. For girls, the most common is a 'bikini wax', removing the hairs on the upper thighs that otherwise would be visible in the summer when girls wear a bikini. It's pubic hair, after all, and a lot of girls don't want to display that publicly!

Then there are those (of both genders) who trim b/c they like the look. It's a personal thing, like the style of haircut on your head, although personally, the idea of a total shave looks little kid like, the opposite of teen sexual.

The hygiene explanation (esp. for guys) never made much sense, pubic hair is hardly unhygienic. It's really more a matter of personal preference based on comfort (both physical and visual), as well as this other misguided notion that shorter pubic hair somehow makes the penis look bigger, which it doesn't, unless you have no idea what a penis is supposed to look like in the first place.
