Bush preference
 

I guess this is really more of a survey, but I'm curious.

I have a theory that men who prefer bush tend to be older. My thought is that the preference is based upon what what culturally prevalent when the guy was first exposed, in porn or in person.

I was curious enough to google it and came up with this abstract:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27000945/

So my completely unscientific survey question is:
Do you (a) prefer pubes or (b) not, or are you (c) indifferent?

And, what's your age?

I'm in my lower 60's and I prefer a bush.

I prefer mostly shaved but a little bush is ok. I just don't want to get hair in my mouth :p (40's)

I strongly prefer at least some bush (male 45 years old). I like the look and the feeling running my hands through it. As far as the size and type of bush, I like variety. my wife (35F) goes from a landing strip most of the year to practically full bush mid winter at my request (trims bikini line only).

Full bush, untouched my preference and am 37yrs male.

I dont tend to complain bush or not but gf complained one day about shaving/waxing and she was a but surprised when I said not to bother and she hasnt since, shes a year younger. An ex would have had a spectacular bush but had a meticulous routine to obliterate every hair. Novelty was nice.

High School fun years and Uni from mid 90s to early noughties and then full bush was still more common than not in my experience. Once I got a bit of a shock when a really prim, fashion obsessed, short skirt type had a bush on display that I never saw the like again! Was a change 2000s when even the combat and Pearl Jam shirt types were waxing to nothing.

I will say that any rumours about people picking up crabs on campus had all but disappeared by postgrad year.

This subject has been beat to death on here, but here goes. The reason older men prefer the muff is because that was the paradigm of what attractive women looked like during their formative years, from Playboy and other girlie mags, to peeks at mom and sisters, to golden era pornos and et cetera.

I personally prefer my muff au naturale. Some trimming for neatness and defining the edges is fine, and can be quite attractive too.

Mid 40s. Bush.
Clean shaved gives me the creeps tbh.

Contrarian
 

Well, opposite to expectations, I’m in my mid sixties and I defiantly prefer a completely shaved pussy. I remember all that hair back in the 70s and 80s. It was like peering into a dark, forested cavern. Much better aesthetic and cleaner overall when completely shaved.

I'm in my late 30s and I have no preference, mainly because women will groom themselves in the manner they want to and I'm not about to turn a woman down based on her style of pubic hair.

From a visual standpoint there is something classic about the old-school bush in Playboy and I find it very sexy on younger women such as linkvskosmos' wife and harchunter's wife but at the same time I've seen both women with their vagina's shaved and found them equally as sexy.

So it's a toss up.

Smooth
 

I like it either well shaved or waxed. I love to eat pussies but can't stand having hairs in my mouth

Shaved
 

My girlfriend shaves hers so I prefer it smooth

I am 41 and I prefer it trimmed depending on various factors. I don't like it so long that it gets stuck in my teeth. I don't like it so long/thick that it is all I can see... I want to see some detail of the slit/lips when standing. Some shaping and trimming just looks neat to me.

Feel wise, bare skin on bare skin feels amazing when both are shaved though I have only been fully shaved a couple times. That said, as good as it feels for her to be bald, it kind of makes me feel creepy or gives me a pedo vibe.

I'm 68 and I hate bush!

b - no pubes, smooth all the way.

Early 40s

My kink is that I enjoy seeing women in precarious situations, plausible deniability or accidental, such that others who might have seen it may have an opinion about it. For example, an upskirt caused by the wind is Much more interesting to me if it happens to an older woman who didn't expect it than a stunning young blonde; as if people would expect the older lady to feel more ashamed. Hope that makes sense. What is especially attractive to me is if such an unexpected person is secretly doing it on purpose.

As if someone might say in such a situation "I just saw your pussy, but you should've shaven it because it looks quite messy", and that would then be the reason the person would be ashamed of it, not that you just saw her nude. I know of someone who's less afraid of accidentally showing her (perfectly kept) lips than to show her boobs, because boobs are more present and her pussy is more of an innocent body part? I don't know.

A few years ago a lady in her 40's cycled towards me (cycling country) on a city bike, accidentally giving me an upskirt view of her shaven and uncovered pubic area. Rare occurrence but engraved in memory. I think it was accidental, but given her age and physique I found it extremely interesting that she was so bald down there.

But at the same time I've seen my MIL nude plenty of times. She is hairy and her pussy looks quite complex. She isn't ashamed around me but I imagine she wouldn't want to show it 'accidentally' to strangers because others might not find it pretty.


So, my vote:

bald when she has some weight and/or age (because it doesn't match the stereotype)
and hairy in all other situations (because it doesn't match the stereotype)


age: 37

The great thing about bush is that no decisions are permanent. You want to play bald for a while, that's easily done. Tired of bald? Wait a little while and you have bush again. And plenty of degrees in-between. It's the best of everything.

I am 61 and love a trimmed little landing strip. Not a fan of the full bush for reason already stated. Bald is nice if she’s not prone to razor burn - nothing worse than a nasty razor rash… looks unappealing even after 4 rum and cokes.

I agree that it’s the women’s choice how she likes it and my choice if it’s a turn on or not.

Trimmed on guys is fine - completely shaved looks like a uncooked chicken..

SMOOOOOTH
 

Give me a woman who is completely smooth of hair. I want to suck on bare skin and slide my tongue all over a bald pussy.
I am now 70 and have always loved a hairless pussy.

I like your explanation. While I don't have the same kink as you, I like it when it doesn't match the stereotype, and when women might feel ashamed of it.

I can enjoy a shaved pussy, but I prefer a hairy pussy. I'm now 39 and my wife is 35, I met her when she was 18. She was shaven, as was common for 18 year olds at that time. After a few months together, I asked her to grow it out, because I wanted to see and feel how that would look like. She was a bit reluctant, but she did grow it out. She didn't like it and couldn't understand I still liked eating her out.

In the first years, she changed back to shaving a couple of times, or trimming. But over time, she got used to the bush, although even until this day she thinks it is "too hairy" and that shaved or trimmed would look much better. But she knows I like it, and she actually finds it convenient not having to shave or trim anymore, even though she doesn't like the look on herself.

She has been a few times in situations where she felt ashamed, like when going to the doctor. Previously, she would shave the hair on her lips when going to the doctor, as she felt ashamed of her hairy lips. Now, she doesn't shave her lips anymore, but she is still not 100% comfortable with it. Also, she noticed often in the changing rooms of the gym that she usually was the only woman of her age with a bush, others would be shaved or have a landing strip. I can recall her story that she was in the changing room and the only other women with a bush were over 50 years. She was around 25 at that time.

She is always dressed nicely and feminine, and uses make up and perfume. Anyone who would see her, would see a fit, attractive, 35 year old woman. The type of woman of which you would expect that she would be shaved bare. I really like that contrast when I'm taking off her clothes, and at the moment I pull her panties down, I see her messy, unruly, untrimmed full bush. I know she would be very ashamed if other would see how hairy she is.

I also agree on your point of a bald pussy when she has some weight. My ex-girlfriend had overweight, she was over 250 lbs. I've been with her a few times in the shower and saw her squat down to shave her pussy. That way the skin would be stretched enough to get a smooth shave. Her belly was still in the way, so she always had to feel with her left hand and shave with her right hand to get everything smooth. It looked more complicated than for other women, but despite that, she could always do a super smooth shave. I've never seen her with more than a bit of stubble. Especially because of the effort she had to put in it compared to other women, and the fact that she could shave so smooth, that after a shave it felt and looked like it was waxed, I enjoyed that as well. She didn't choose the easy way.

Pubic Hair Preference
 

As far back as I can remember, my mom and most of her friends groomed their pubes in one way or another. Mostly they combed out and trimmed the longer maverick hairs and shaved their "sideburns", the stray hairs in the inner thighs, the anus, and the top corners of the pubis. By the early 70's many started to shave their labia and trim the hair on the pubis mons.

It wasn't until the late 80's that the fully shaved look became more popular and widly accepted. Before that it was thaught that the fully shaved look was mostly used by models and loose women.

My sister, my wife and sister in law all shifted from the 1970's groomed pubis and shaved labia style to fully shaved by the late 80's. They rationalized that why should they neatly trim and groom their head hair, shave their legs and underarms, and neglect their pubic hair. Why should they be looking like the Duck Dynasty crew when they prefered clean shaven the Mark Harmon look.

Personally, because I grew up with the look, I liked the nicely trimmed look. But as time went on I grew to appreciate and now prefer the fully shaved look.

Probably the US or at least areas like Southern California were way ahead of Europe when it comes to this. From what I know, the full bush was pretty much the norm in Europe during the 1970s and the early 1980s. During the 1980s, trimming became more popular, as well as shaving the bikini line, but not more than that. Only during the first half of the 1990s, landing strips and small triangles gained popularity. The fully shaved look became popular in Western Europe only around 2000, when all of a sudden thongs became popular as underwear, something that wasn't common in Europe before that. I think the peak was around 2005-2010, when shaving was pretty much the norm for all women of 30 and younger, and you'd be frowned upon if you even had a little bit of hair. I'd say the shaved look is still the most popular for women below 30-35, although many older women are fine with trimming and keeping a small triangle or landing strip. There are definitely also many women between 35 and 50 who are shaved, but it's less common than with younger women. Again, this is how it is in Western Europe.

I'm in my early 70s and have always preferred totally shaved.

I was able to talk my GF now wife to try totally shaved a few times back in the early 70s and she was hooked. She liked the feeling of being naked AND exposed. Her bald pussy brought a lot of smiles and attention to more than just the two of us over the decades, if you get my drift.

I'm in my sixties, and frankly only knew one woman who trimmed her bush at all. When I was playing the field in the 80s, shaved bushes were not common at all. I will confess that I would tie women up and after three or four times being tied up, I would often shave them while restrained. They'd always act shocked but mostly would maintain the shaving while we were together.

So ultimately, no real preference.

Shaved or tiny landing strip is my best option. It was always like that.

For me it's also totally shaved or at most a landing stripe. I've actually never been with a woman who didn't shave her pussy.

To me a hairy pussy looks very unappealing, the same for hairy armpits.

What is the worst is when neither shaved or full bush is happening, like humping sandpaper. When a girl makes an effort including sorting out an ass crack then she needs to keep it up or stay you clear until it grows back to full length.

An ex did shave for the first time as a suprise for me but with just a normal razor she used scissors to shorten pubes to a length she could shave including around the more delicate parts. But then couldnt close shave around those same delicate bits fully. Technique, her anatomy, type of razor, whatever, it was like having sex with a vagina that had lots of little spikey teeth for a few weeks and there was no way I was heading to the reserve hole as it was worse.

Im no expert so dont know if Veet can be used in those most sensitive of areas but it would have been on the suggestion list if she had done it again before she was an ex!!

I love totally shaved - just the idea that there's nothing to hide her most intimate area is so hot! Obviously, it's also much easier going down on her without having to worry about getting a mouthful of pubes :p

I don't like absolutes when it comes to sexual preferences. i.e., "she had perfect tits."
Well, what does that mean?
What's perfect to you is, more than likely, not perfect to me.
Also, my preference does not diminish or negate the excitement you feel for the thing you desire.

I love bush. Thick and dark are my favorite. But I also do like shaved legs and armpits.
Growing up in 1970s where this was the norm obviously played a part, but lets take the examination a step further.

I am a very visual person. This sense is where all sexual excitement begins for me--other than thought/mind based aspects which are the absolute paramount.

I like when sexual characteristics are emphasized. Heightened.
I love dark areolas that are in stark contrast to the skin they sit on.
I like thick nipples that stand far out from the breast and suggest the way one might suck and pull at them.

So, with pussies, I like hair because it contrast draws my eye, first and foremost. Sometimes, even when a woman is wearing underwear you can see that upside down triangle that tells you to "LOOK HERE!".
When the hair gets wet from a woman's arousal--matted, glossy--her arousal is emphasized. It's more obvious than it might be on a bald pussy.

Bottom line though is, I like all pussy and I'd jerk off to just about any one I've ever seen. LOL!

61 and until relatively recently, I didn't care too much. It really depends on what's uncovered if she has no fur. I like things tidy - don't want to see bits hanging out all over the place or looking like a badly-packed doner kebab!!

I wasn't much into eating out either - possibly due to my long-term partner not liking it - so nothing to gain from it, then this lovely thing came along (literally!!)...

I really like this one! She's lasered so there's no hair and no stubble, She tastes fantastic and comes like a freight train.

I can eat her all day - unless I'm fucking her of course....!!

Late 50s here, and the norm growing up was for trimmed, especially bikini line, as we live close to the beach. I remember going to the beach with HS friends and the girls would sometime be teased about their stubble.

Overall, I think I prefer bush/trimmed. I've had my wife shave a few times, and it's fun initially, but then I miss the hair.

shaved
 

I like to see what I'm getting.
Certainly would not refuse any alternative though!

Smooth
 

I am 79 today and love a shaved pussy. Yes I grew up in the era of bush but after having my first shaved/waxed pussy I was sold on no hair!! So much more fun eating and fucking a smooth one!!

I've had my bush shaved and had it full but I've found out one thing about men, if you give them a peek at it shaved or full, they will fuck you just as good and hard. I rarely wear panties (or a bra for that matter) and I usually wear a somewhat short skirt. That makes it easier to flash. As you can probably tell I fuck around a lot and I flash my pussy at men that look like good fucks. So naturally I have a lot of quickies in some very interesting places. You can tell, I love big hard dicks up inside me. I like to suck them off too. If you're wondering about my Hubby, his dick is so small that I keep it locked away in a tiny, steel, chastity cage. Don't worry about him, he loves to watch me get fucked. I unlock him and give him a very slow hand job once a month if he's been good. He gets to take care of my pussy, shave it when I want it smooth, trim it, rub it, and lick it clean when it's full of other men's cum. I usually have him thank the other man for fucking me so good. (aint I a b*tch, but it's fun.) He is a great pussy eater too, a very talented tongue. Even my girlfriends say he's the best pussy eater they've ever seen. That's why I keep him around. Hubby kept my pussy shaved smooth when I danced naked professionally at night clubs a few years back . It got me more tips when I spread my legs real wide for everyone to see. It made me wet as hell when they applauded. Men seem to think I have a very pretty pussy. I think they're right. It's very tasty too. That was my dancing name, Tasty. Well since I like showing off my pussy and no one here has put up a before and after picture I'll put up 2 and you can be the judge. Hairy or smooth? Oh, it's Ok to jerk off to them if you like them. I take it as a compliment.

Bushes

Here are 2 more to choose from. Me spreading my pussy was shaved but grown back a little. I think it's my best open pussy shot. I would autograph pictures of it I had made up at the club. A quick feel and $5.00 would get you the picture. Love Tasty, my dancing name, and the taste of my pussy. The other hairy one of me on a bed I think is really cute. Isn't it a lovely little hairy pussy? It was taken right before 3 big black men I had Hubby call, come in and fuck the hell out of me. As usual Hubby watched and took the picture. Later he ate a lot of cum out of my little hairy stretched open c*nt. Which do you like better?

My ex was very loose. Hotdog down a hallway situation. The only time I could feel anything was when she had a bush.

Anytime a woman spreads her legs wide open and shows her pussy its fantastic. I like the bush look the most. I have considered having hair down there as a rite of passage for both men and women. When I first started seeing women naked in porn magazines they always had some hair down there and that look has stuck with me since.

Similar, look I grew up with

I like the look of some hair, shaved lips is nice but I like hair on the pubic mound

Bonus is a lady just trims and leaves her ass hair

Her preference too
 

My wife just had her latest Hollywood wax. I could spend hours running my tongue over her smooth slit and mound. It turns her into a quivering wreck, which she says is down to the sensation of being bald.

Hot Wife
 

I still fuck big cocks and even at my age I can still get younger men with big cocks to fuck me. This is me now at 60 years old. I don't have my Hubby shave me much anymore and my lovers don't care. I still keep Hubby's cock locked in a Ms Lori chastity cage that is completely secure because he now has a piercing through his dick. I take it off of him once a month or so and give him a very slow hand job if he's been good. He still enjoys watching me take on sometimes two huge black men at a time. They seem to like my furry pussy and Hubby is fine licking my bush clean when they are done with me. Once in a while I might have Hubby keep me shaved smooth for a few weeks but you need a shave every 2 days or it will itch growing back. When we go to the beach it's a good thing to have a pussy slave to keep you shaved smooth and watch you with new men you can pick up. Well enjoy my 60 year old hairy pussy.

A story on bush versus no bush
 

I happened to sit in a nice armchair next to a table with a number of girls who are, as we say in Germany, freizügig. The talk had been about training, diets, how OK each of the girls were with their boobs, and so on and so forth. Nothing unusual, except perhaps that they did not in any way soften their girl talk just because I happened to be there. And eventually they started in on the pros and cons on shaving. One of the girls, let's call her Linda, stood out because she thought that shaving must be unnatural and detrimental because 'we are born with a bush and therefore that must be beneficial, so, shaving is surely stupid'. Linda was also into natural gardening, wore clothes of linen and hemp, you get the idea. Nothing wrong with the logic I suppose, and nothing wrong with natural vegetables and clothing, but, she was, as unfortunately very often, a bit too strident and sure of herself. Her friends looked somewhat awkward, especially those who had enthusiastically talked about the pros of shaving and had now more or less been labeled as idiots.

One of the 'pro shaving girls' now turned to me and asked me "Hey, you're a real spa lover, you've probably seen the pussies of half the women in this town, what's you're opinion, shaved or not?" I just went "Shaved, no question about that" and got a heated tirade, which I will not attempt to repeat, from Linda where she essentially wondered (i) why I hated bushes and (ii) what that might mean about my possible preferences for too young girls. So, I asked her "What do you prefer, ice cream or chocolate?" She answered ice-cream whereupon I mock-angrily asked her "Why do you hate chocolate?" I thought that would do the trick, but she just looked bewildered, poor girl. Then I could not help myself and mock-leeringly added "Personally I could eat them both" while wriggling my tounge rather 'suggestively'.

All the other girls couldn't help laughing at that, but, the laughter eventually died out and everyone of them looked awkward again because Linda was still sitting there quite bewildered, and had not gotten that joke either. The gang broke up rather quickly afterwards. Oh well.
