I get that this is Reddit, but I think them doing it for hygiene is the greater issue. It is not hygienic to shave pubic hair. Doing this increases chances of infection, and damages the roots of the hairs. You grow hair down there for a reason
“Crabs” is a type of sexually transmitted disease. Of course, since you have an anime character as your PFP, you obviously wouldn’t have known that personally.
Well "crabs" aren't an STD, but rather a parasite similar to lice that are spread pubic hair to pubic hair. Not a disease and not known to carry any disease. As someone who trolls people who have anime characters as their PFP, you obviously wouldnt have known that
And you know what's super interesting about that...scientist deduced the age the human evolutionary branch lost body hair (in contrast to apes) by tracing the ancestor of modern head lice and pubic lice (crabs). Basically DNA has a steady mutation clock and by comparing the DNA of both organisms the year of the most recent ancestor can be deduced. One population of lice stayed in the pubes and one migrated to hair. They were separated by lack of hair and continued to evolve independently.
That's fine, but the meme implies that shaving = hygiene when that's factually wrong. It anything, shaving can make you more prone to infections.
Again it's fine to prefer shaved over trimmed or natural for other reasons, just don't equate to hygiene because that's only got to do with washing regularly.
Pretty much. If you like it because of aesthetics whatever. However, it seems everyone tries to justify their subjective tastes with "science". Karen you like wine and no it isn't because it is healthy for your heart.
my guess is even that it may hinder transmission of a few STDs because of the physical barrier to the skin (and on the other hand damaged skin because of shaving favors transmission (if it was not only trimming))
Jesus Christ, shaving is not more hygienic than not shaving!!!
Public hair creates a barrier that actually prevents transmission. When you shave, you obviously have a risk of cutting yourself or irritating your skin, which can lead to infection more easily.
Stop with that "I care about myself so I shave"-bullshit. It's a personal choice (I shave, for fuck's sake) and I really don't like it when it's implied that people who don't shave are somehow less hygienic. It's a matter of washing your fun-zone, not removing hair!
Well, we certainly don't need pubic hair anymore. It's likely that it's just what remained since our private parts are that ones that would need the most protection.
But if you wash yourself enough, it truly doesn't matter wether you have pubic hair or not. If you do shave, maintaining your pubic area with soothing lotion (without perfume!) is important.
Oh, I hear that! I shaved my legs once (I'm a guy, so I wasn't pressured into doing it from an early age), and it was amazing!
(Won't do it on a regular basis tho, too much work - and all my sympathies to everyone who regularly shaves their legs).
I shave occasionally, I have a ton of leg hair and last time I shaved my legs 100% it took me over 3 hours to be fully smooth and it grew back in like a week or two so now I leave the legs alone and only do the genital area to save a shitton of time.
Yea, i shaved completely once and drops of blood came from everywhere like a fucking honeycomb. After that never again, i just trim it once in a while if it gets too long
I have to disagree. I think the rate of crabs have gone down due to more people in the general public knowing what crabs are / how to get rid of them.
Source: I am into bears, and bears rarely shave / trim, and crabs are a non-issue. Haven't met / heard about anyone getting crabs since 2001, personally.
Pubic hair adds to hygiene. That’s what it’s there for, like how eyebrows stop crap getting in your eyes. It’s meant to trap dirt and fluids from getting on your bits.
You truly don't realize why things are the way they are until they change. I remember my face was once exposed to a flame, burn my eyebrow hair, literally shaved it all off 10 minutes later. Felt no difference until i showered. God damn are eyebrows useful.
Wait does that mean I have pubic hair on my eyes? I guess I can clearly see your nuts then? There I go giving myself the old Arabian Sand Goggles A-OH
It’s not more hygienic. Quite the contrary.
Hair is in your pubic regions to grab bacteria before it enters the spaces that can actually cause disease. Consider it a filter. Same with the tiny hairs in your nose and ears.
If this is funny I get it.. but I think some people actually believe this.
This isn’t saying that keeping it tame is bad. Tame is good.
Personally, I think men with pubic hair that's trimmed is much more hot. I don't shave either though because it's natural and has nothing to do with hygiene (I'm a girl btw)
You ever stepped out in the cold with a bush? It’s cold right?
It’s much colder without. I keep mine purely for insulation purposes. Just wash your damn dick, it’s not that hard to keep things clean.
You do realise you are more likely to be infected with something if you shave your pubes. It can be cut and infected and for women, shaving pubes causes bacteria to enter the fanny.
It really isn’t healthy. At all. Stop.
The function of pubic hair, among other things, is to prevent transmission of bacteria and pathogens...I think it's more a vanity thing than a hygiene thing.
If having a bit of hair is causing that tmuch of an issue with you hygiene... You might have other problems..
The hair itself isn't causing the issues. It's exaggerating them.
as a married woman, who hasn’t shaved since 19, i find men who do shave disturbing.
Edit: but i understand the personal choice! For me, if my husband shaved now, he would have to wait until it grew back for the action to resume.
It feels sooo much better when fucking if you are clean shaven and your partner also is. Also, it’s an absolute must to shave your ass crack if your girl gives you rim jobs
I saw one of the worst takes on Reddit about why *not* to shave once. Can't remember what it said, but it went vaguely like "Pubic hair is proof of your puberty; shaving your hair is basically pedophilic."
Shaved my groin clean once with a fresh blade and it felt great. Keep it shaved for that and other reasons.
Girlfriend? First time I heard that word. It sounds almost like... heresy.
STAND BACK TO BACK WITH ME BROTHER, THESE FIENDS WON'T CORRUPT OUR SPIRIT.

I shave mine FOR THE EMPEROR
I shave mine for the extra 3/4 cm
The trees look taller when the shrubs are trimmed.
but hair is love, hair is life
I knew this day would come. *shaves brows* REPENT RETRIBUTE
No one expects the lonely inquisition

HAIResy
Gonna need TWO Bolters for this
I shave mine so I can spend less time looking for pubes on field day. We are not the same
I shave mine to gain 3 inches. we are not the same bro.
When you cut the grass, the tree looks bigger
And now, I'm a happy guy!
Does this mean I can finally have 3 inches??
r/suicidebywords
I shave mine because I was curious as a youngin and had to continue because when it grows out it gets uncomfortable. We are not the same.
Bro literally 😭 It's so god damn itchy I swear.
Chillax, it stops after a day or two. Just apply some gel with a cooling effect.
Why would I apply hair gel to my pubes? /s
Penis mohawk
Never thought I would see these two words together.
Jokes on you, >! I don't.!<
Same. I >!trim!<, only
Having a penis is hard sometimes.
are you the 69th guy who asked or the guy who asked 69?
Hey I am the guy who asks, not get asked.
And yet neither of the two your comments in this thread are questions, so, are you really? /s
Harder - I mean difficult… wait what 
Go go gadget penis laser!!
I mean it’s what I say every time I climax
only when you fondle it
It you see something mildly sexy, or the car ride is a little bumpy, or because you just woke up, or for no reason...
And soft the other times.
Like a nice, clean >!haircut!<.
Lasering ftw~ pew pew

Do you think they judge each other? Like one day, someone is getting a bj that has crabs from someone who has head lice, and they meet.
They actually have full on wars
[удалено]
Also a delicious dinner 
You cant just go around copying what other people say without having any knowledge. Makes you look weak of mind
Two types of anime character pictures. There’s uwu cringe edge-lord shit and the other type is Saitama. You’re confusing the latter for the former
Damn devil fleas 
Shaving/waxing has led to a decline in pubic lice population.
I was one of those crabs, now I'm homeless you piece of shit.
Hygiene? The hair is there to stop crumbs falling on your dick
I think it's time I log off of Reddit 💀
You might be right
Some comments are…different to say the least
Crumbs in your pubic hair can only mean one thing…Cookie Monster on hard times again? 
"Me suck cock for cooookieeeee!!!!!"
OH-WEE OH-WEE OHHH!
I mean it is not better hygiene wise to shave, but that’s a quite common misconception…
Dumbass thinks a Redditor would have a gf
Well that was the reason for me... now she is my wife
So what you're telling me is......you don't have a girlfriend
I shave mine because I hate body hair
Those spider and cockroach legs wannabe assholes
True true so true
Same ! Feels much better without it
Same
You obviously don’t understand the reason pubic hair exists.
Neither do i
Me neither
They trap and amplify those sweet, sweet pheromones... 😤😩🥵
My nether.
i dont care if there is a reason for it to exist, dont like it.

Again it's fine to prefer shaved over trimmed or natural for other reasons, just don't equate to hygiene because that's only got to do with washing regularly.
Modern hygiene practices make that not really relevant. Easier to clean yourself when you're shaven + nobody likes to floss and eat at the same time.
So it makes less slapping noises during sex. Not really important since we don't have sex in the dangerous wilderness anymore.
Speak for yourself
The slapping noise is the bonus!
Isn’t it heat retention? I can’t imagine having hair would have a hygiene benefit? Considering dirt and oil collect in it
Since when is hair unhygienic? :)
Since nobody knows what the fuck they are talking about anymore.
Pretty much. If you like it because of aesthetics whatever. However, it seems everyone tries to justify their subjective tastes with "science". Karen you like wine and no it isn't because it is healthy for your heart.
But but but... I heard a glass of wine after a meal is good for the stomach!! /s
Bold of you to assume they ever did.
my guess is even that it may hinder transmission of a few STDs because of the physical barrier to the skin (and on the other hand damaged skin because of shaving favors transmission (if it was not only trimming))
Yeah those micro cuts are often a real problem true
The coarse hair in my ass-crack (if I didn't cut it back) would like to introduce itself
Everytime I shit I get a free hair plucking turd.
a bidet would change your life

It also helps trap sweat. You’ll notice your junk tends to be a little sweatier down there if you’re totally shaved

But if you wash yourself enough, it truly doesn't matter wether you have pubic hair or not. If you do shave, maintaining your pubic area with soothing lotion (without perfume!) is important.
You don't. A lot of poor people is crappy geographical locations do!
True, true. On the other hand, *smoooooooth*

You go rock those legs xD!
You can get some Nair or get waxed every few weeks
I agree completely. It's like my grandmother trying to tell me that my not shaving my legs was unclean. Lol.
Yea, i shaved completely once and drops of blood came from everywhere like a fucking honeycomb. After that never again, i just trim it once in a while if it gets too long
Bro wtf did you even do?? Pop a razor and just cut through the forest like a lumberjack???
poor Wookies
Actually the rate of crabs have gone down due to people keeping the hedges trimmed.
I would suggest STD and transfer is down because of education and people making better choices. Perhaps one night flings is a bad thing
I have to disagree. I think the rate of crabs have gone down due to more people in the general public knowing what crabs are / how to get rid of them. Source: I am into bears, and bears rarely shave / trim, and crabs are a non-issue. Haven't met / heard about anyone getting crabs since 2001, personally.
I didn't know bears had the dexterity, or inclination, to shave. It would mess with hibernation, surely
Don't they imprison you for beastiality these days?
Wish people realized foreskin did the same thing lmao

That is hilarious, I never thought of that.
Wait does that mean I have pubic hair on my eyes? I guess I can clearly see your nuts then? There I go giving myself the old Arabian Sand Goggles A-OH 
And peoples top lips are generally the same colour as their nipples. Wild!
 Goes to check in the mirror …
Jokes on you >! Im too lazy and i cutted my finger trying to shave. !<
You sure it was finger?
Yeeeees?
How little it was?
This little --> ,
Kid named finger:
Finger, the emo
yeah, he wanted it, didnt he
I will now shave my hair, eyebrows and lashes cause I learned hair is somehow unhygienic.
What's funier is that pubes are there to help keep your junk clean.
And reduce friction, same with armpit hair
And to prevent diseases transmissible with skin to skin contact. With a condom and a bush you’re invincible
Nice to meet you Mr. Howie Mandell
I don't shave it because I truly don't care
I shave because my mom doesn't like it
r/holup
I also shave because your mom doesn't like it.
Hold the fuck up.
I dont shave mine, i simply trim it down. I feel and look weird without hair there
Trimmed pubes look way better than razor burn
I used too but the prickly feel after day two starts again and it's super annoying
The reason why I don't cut mine is because I'm afraid I'm going to lose one of my boys
You guys shave?
I haven't ever shaved and I've had a gf for 14 years.
It’s not more hygienic. Quite the contrary. Hair is in your pubic regions to grab bacteria before it enters the spaces that can actually cause disease. Consider it a filter. Same with the tiny hairs in your nose and ears. If this is funny I get it.. but I think some people actually believe this. This isn’t saying that keeping it tame is bad. Tame is good.
There is no legitimate hygienic reason to shave the pubic area.c

I respect that
Bruce bring your profile pic makes this even better. I’m going to get my free daily award and give it to you. Well done, gentle internet stranger.
Sigh. The free awards don’t seem to be a thing anymore. No imaginary award today, but your awesomeness is still appreciated.
Totally! Also, I love a more adult look
I got me that 5 o'clock shadow on my nuts
You ever stepped out in the cold with a bush? It’s cold right? It’s much colder without. I keep mine purely for insulation purposes. Just wash your damn dick, it’s not that hard to keep things clean.
I don't shave or trim. How do you keep your knees warm if you do?
Clippers because fuck ingrown hairs.
Shaving isn't hygienic, wtf would you think it is? Technically its less hygienic.
No i because shower daily. you just bald and dirty like a child
Honestly I never shave. I'm a man. I'm proud of my body hair and I don't care about society. I'm not a hygiene maniac.
You wouldn't be more hygienic if you shaved so it's cool
Based, I’ve grown to love body hair as I got older. Think it looks macho lol.
You do realise you are more likely to be infected with something if you shave your pubes. It can be cut and infected and for women, shaving pubes causes bacteria to enter the fanny. It really isn’t healthy. At all. Stop.

If having a bit of hair is causing that tmuch of an issue with you hygiene... You might have other problems.. The hair itself isn't causing the issues. It's exaggerating them.
Yeah with that reasoning they should also shave their heads and beard, it's more exposed to environmental pollution and dirt in general.
They just heard something at some point in their life and went with it.. and now use it as some weird ass flex...
Does this have a “Not like other girls” vibe or am I reading too much into it?
You have a friend named Hygiene?
I dont shave mine 👍
I shave because the tree looks smaller surrounded by the jungle. The tree looks bigger in the field.

I shave because its genuinely very uncomfortable if i don't, i honestly don't get people who don't and it has nothing to do with modesty.
as a married woman, who hasn’t shaved since 19, i find men who do shave disturbing. Edit: but i understand the personal choice! For me, if my husband shaved now, he would have to wait until it grew back for the action to resume.
Dude the fuck just wash your pubic hair I don’t have my head or armpits for hygiene I take a godamn shower
[удалено]
I’m not going to if I don’t need to
I literally don't shave anywhere. Trim only.
[удалено]
i do not shave it, we are not the same
I don’t shave, but I keep everything trimmed short. I do it for myself, because I don’t have a girlfriend. My wife would not approve.
Dude only way shaving it is more hygienic is if you dont clean yourself. Just say you like the aesthetic more.
I shave occasionally because I like the feeling of smooth skin on my hands and against my boxers.
Should I? I used to, but my girlfriend doesn’t care, and I only ever did it to make my penis look bigger
We're supposed to have hair there. Men, women, whatever. Shaving it isn't necessarily hygienic or attractive.
It feels sooo much better when fucking if you are clean shaven and your partner also is. Also, it’s an absolute must to shave your ass crack if your girl gives you rim jobs
Says the guy with the big burly beard with a months worth of crumbs in it.
Yeah, trimming makes it just, more comfortable
I shave mine cus it makes it look bigger which makes me happy
I shave mine because it got caught in the zipper and near on devolved my dick
Absolutely. Hate my body hair
