Personal grooming

December 30 2010

My girlfriend and I are new to the swinging world and building up to things slowly. We're considering meeting other couples or going to a swinger's party sometime soon. What is the general protocol for personal grooming among swingers? There seems to be an awful lot of women that are shaved/waxed, though I expect there's plenty enough who aren't. But my girl is a little more razor shy than most - she generally doesn't do her bikini line (doesn't like the prickly regrowth in the crease of her crotch) and she also has half a dozen stray hairs around each nipple. Would this be viewed as abnormal and distasteful at a swinger's party? I would hate to go to our first party and have her feel embarrassed about her body hair. Should I encourage her to shave and pluck a little before going, or am I worrying over nothing? The only thing she does regularly epilate is her legs and underarms. Also, regarding guy's grooming, I generally keep myself trimmed and neat, but I don't wax or shave. I assume that's fine?

    we believing that grooming comes down to a personal choice as u say before u see alot of people on here are shaven or waxed but that doesnt mean everyone is. But at the same time it is better to look well presented to others to avoid embassesment for yourselves and them, a lite trim and a pluck never hurts before attending an event like a swingers party. For example if you were to go to dinner at a fancy resturant your would wear a nice outfit thik of your bady as your outfit at one of these parties. this is our opinion and many might disagree but we hope we have helped in some way :) T&D xoxox

    Hey Toywithme in my personal opinion your gf should really give waxing a go I was shaving and hated it but a few months ago i thought what the hell ill get a XXX the best thing i ever did the pain is bearable and really quite quick and it stays smooth for around 3-4 weeks you may get a few stray hairs but 1 thing LOOFAH LOOFAH LOOFAH and she wont get ingrown hairs. As for the "hairy" nipples well i sometimes get a couple of random black ones (female hormones at their finest LOL) tweezing is quick and simple i would be embarrassed if someone saw my little black hairs around my nipple. Now onto you well trimmed is definitely acceptable as long as its not a huge bush and you have shown you take some pride with your pubic region i dont really think you will cause a stir. Good luck with everything :)Mrs curiouslykinky72 xx

    Thanks for the info. Perhaps if we do end up swinging then it's more than just her that needs to remove a little hair. :) Which brings me to my next question... How do you all go about getting hair removed? Do you do it yourself at home or do you see a professional? I'm not sure how I'd go about removing the hair from my balls and I would feel a little strange getting some poor lass at a salon to do it for me!

    Getting a sack and crack wax would be... interesting. I'm a grower, not a shower, and I reckon my wang would shrivel up and hide, leaving me horribly embarrassed! I know there's no need to impress the beautician, but I wouldn't want her to laugh either! Aah, the complexities and fragility of the male psyche. ;-)

    Mrs curiouslykinky72 - thanks for your comments. From discussions in the past, my girlfriend seems quite against hair removal downstairs (including waxing). I don't think she's a fan of the bare look and I don't see her changing her mind any time soon, so it may put an end to our swinging days before they begin. Perhaps I can talk her into a landing strip. Though I would find it kind of odd if she was happy to pretty herself up for other guys when she never has for me. Hmm. I'll show her this thread and use it as a springboard for further discussion.

    ToyWithMe - see if she is interested in trying a trim with a beard trimmer instead - you can get ones that have an adjustable comb that allows you to choose the length of hair to leave behind. No pain involved. We used to use one to great success until Mrs Loving discovered hair removal creams. One of the benefits that you might suggest to her is that less hair often equals more sensation.

I'll show her this thread and use it as a springboard for further discussion. Reading your post I had to wonder if the swinging lifestyle is really for you both. Not everyone makes love/has sex the same way and you will probably see her doing things that she has never done with you. Surely this lifestyle requires absolutely no jealousy whatsoever. Good luck x

    I hear what you're saying Ticklish. You might be right, or you might be wrong. We never really know unless we try. I'm not fussed about her behaving differently with different people - we all do that, even socially. My qualms are more about levels of effort. If she were to make no effort for me but happily went to great effort for other people, then I think some jealously is inevitable. If that kills our swinging life then so be it - we have already discussed numerous scenarios about our limits and what would be a problem for us. I'm sure many successful swingers have to discuss and potentially confront some jealousy issues. We are going into this with our eyes open and I would rate our communication as excellent.

Give it a try yourself, some people need to have someone else do it - if it wasn't someone else they'd spend fifty years in the bathroom going "OK, on the count of 3.. 1.. 2..3... *intake of breath* ... 3... 3... ". WHere other people can just "OK.. wax on... 1,2,3, wax off". Waxing yourself isn't so bad. Use a mirror and wax your own crack - you can shave the other parts, but growing any stubble THERE... god that would be annoying.
