Shaving to "Me" is like wearing clothing on a hot (sun) sunny beach, . . . .
Some people do, & other more sensible folks (IMHO) do not.
It is all a very "personal" choice, & definitely "not mandatory" in my honest opinion, unless there is a "real" medical reason.
Shaving the adult human bodies to look like children to me really makes me ill inside.
Probably just some old residual disgust from being exploited, molested & abused by my DNA family, not my "natural naturist" family 😉
Being raised a Naturist growing up on a (heart) "Family" clothing optional "free" beach, I don't subscribe to a lot of what the "media" raised folks feel they have to do, to feel better about themselves, or feel they have to do to comply, & "fit in" with the "textile" addicted culture here in the USA(n) 🙁
I always chuckle to myself when out with the general Sheeple (Humans) in public , because I do not shave ANYTHING.
So many times, when out shopping or whatever 😉
Women mostly look at my "furry" legs or arm pits & immediately personalize it towards themselves, when they audibly gasp at my brazen display of NATURAL furriness. LOL 😉
Fortunately being raised a Naturist, I do not care what textiles or anyone thinks about my Natural furriness ; ) This attitude seems to infuriate some, but it is inconsequential to me, because as long as I follow my "true" Natural self in life, I don't care what the "media brainwashed" consuming Zombie sheeple have to say 😉
Live, Laugh, Love life all Naturally!
Blessed be in all your Natural endeavors 😉
Always Naturally,

Nice to hear of a woman who has the courage to actually be “natural”. It seems to be rather rare these days!
Hair or Bare?:
The History of American Women and Hair Removal
https://history.barnard.edu/sites/default/files/inline/kirstenhansenthesis.pdf
A very in depth paper about shaving in America for both men and women.
I THINK THE PORN STARS WERE THE FIRST TO START THE TREND AND THE MINDLESS ONES FOLLOWED AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH WORKING BRAIN CELLS TO MAKE A REAL CHOICE.
Oops! What kind of wording with such a strong language? Please read and mind the rules of this site and kindly make a correction. (B. Unacceptable content:

You may be ignorant, but the history of hair removal goes back thousands of years.

Thank you, I agree 100%.
Good article. Hair removal on the entire body is not new. I've read about those ancient Egyptian porn stars sugaring to remove hair before! We have a lot more methods now besides shaving such as using an epilator and waxing which last longer.
of course personal choice to be naturalist or nudist
Yeah, shaving is a personal choice. I vary in my "looks" so I get plenty of all worlds. As a spectator, we all should just love every kind of look there is, hair wise. "Variety is the spice of life", for sure.
I agree that it is a personal choice that should be talked over with your hubby or wife and consider their feelings on the subject. Also if you both decide it is not for you unless you lasered your hair WILL GROW BACK!!!
I want a Yurt out in the woods, but I'm stuck living in a house, that I gave the last bit of all the $$$ I had to get my baby brother out of a ghetto apartment complex that was responsible for stealing my vehicle, by entering his apt, & taking my keys off the hook 🙁
Omg
Nice conversation topic.
Aesthetically I love a natural woman most. I still love a shaved, or manicured woman. You all look beautiful. my fave is a natural woman.
I think your post is to help distinguish nudist from 100% naturist.
As a lot of us have sex… yes shaven is good for many reasons.
Cleanliness, sensitivity on parts, and also more exposure for sexual turn on.
Everyone has a preference for their lifestyle.
For naked acceptance in my opinion there should be no conflict btwn nudists and naturists.
yes total naturism means no showers no clothes no artificial shelters..wherever you draw the line.
Shaved is beautiful to me too!
Such a huge grey area….How natural are you?
I hope we all become more natural, but we all have our pace, and attachments to our current lives.
I bet all of us here are "sheeple" as you say. Unless we live in caves or trees, we are all sheeple!
Lets get along and get nakedness fine!
Shaving its not comfortable. Much more better its laser depilation – after 4-6 time – You skin be free from hair, and easy to clean, healtier…
But: no all People be identical, for some be the best hairy, for some "like baby".
As naturists I thought we were more tolerant of peoples likes and dislikes without having to justify the reasons for being different if you don't like shaving don't do it if you prefer the smooth look it's your business. I think this blog is starting to run out of mileage but that is my opinion, no offence intended
Yes, if it is your "choice" to shave whatever you want, then do it, but I don't like being fed the usual BS & lies about hygiene I've always been told by those who know, but won't admit 😉
I agree with cherbear..i have not shave my arm pit and pubic hair..
I hope you are not judging people who "shave for sex". Sex is a natural and wonderful part of life and as adults, we are free to express that and do what we need to make it better. I know from personal experience how painful it can be to remove a condom when your hairs get rolled up in the rubber. Many people enjoy or have partners who enjoy oral sex but may not particularly like the errant pube caught in their throat. Some have partners with sensitive skin and don't like the coarse hair.
Thank goodness I don't have to wear condoms any more, for I'm like you and find dragging blades across my skin about as pleasant as wearing clothing on a hot sunny beach.
"Shave for sex" is a reason to shave as well as for comfort in general. "Adults shaving to look like children" is strange. I doubt anyone does it for that reason.
I don't think it would work very well unless you were a young adult. But I've heard of grown men wearing diapers, so I guess there are all kinds. (I'm not talking "depends")
Don, there were a few Men I was sold to as a child for "their" pleasure, but I will ALWAYS remember they shaved EVERYTHING off, & I believe in my broken childs mind that they did it to be child like, & therefore not accountable for the abuses they performed upon me & others that could be bought for a very hefty $$$ price, for their perversions. Go ahead & flame me! It was my life trying to survive my DNA Father & Brother, & their friends!
Oh my gosh Cher! I did not know this part of your personal history! So sorry to hear! Sending love your way!
Omg..
Thus i think in cap dagde..it is wrong to have sex.. swinging at the beach which has kids and family..the biggest naturist village which also attract exhibitionist…perverts..
Good on you for not following the flock of sheep. Mysel,f I occasionally shave my cheeks and trim my beard. Mostly for comfort. I like hair but also respect peoples freedom of choice more.
I like dating woman who at least have trimmed pubic hair, When we are having sex, I do not want to feel like I am looking for a golf ball lost in the "rough" 🙂
Looking for golf balls in the rough, are you sure you are having sex with who you think you are????
Is anyone really sure having sex with who you think you are?
Yes I have to agree with what Cher and several others have said and while I say it in a different way that is shorter. "If everyone would just mind their own business the world would be a better place. "
thats quite a statement. i only shave my face
Rich F has really hit the nail on the head.
Surely, you would not want people to think you are ageist, sexist, racist, sizeist? So why are so many naturists getting themselves into a stance of being hairist / shavist / tattooist / piercist etc.?
Sure, I have preferences as far as what I do or not do to my body and sure, I do find that my stance is not aligned with everyone else but I do try hard to be accommodating of all others and their differences, whether it concerns body issues, class, wealth, religion or politics.
Unless one is actually under threat, hey, live and let live!
Different strokes for different folks.
I do like the smooth feeling, and I believe my wife likes me if I do shave my face, otherwise I could scratch her. And I do pluck the rest of my body hair as well, but that is just my choice.
The best part of being a nudist was the non-judgmental ways of others. I have found as of late the nude world changing just as the outside world is. More and more people live their days looking as everything is offending them. The nudist world has become judgemental on nearly everything. Doesnt matter what forum you read anymore, people are attacking others beliefs. Where is anyones safety zone? What business is it to anyone what others prefer. Why must we always need to justify the way we live to others. Thats what kids do. Is the easy way out in life. Find fault in others so as to rise above the other person. Damn it! Im sick of it!
As the great physicist, Richard Feynmann, said, "What do you care what other people think?". It's your life and your body, nobody else has the right to tell you how to live or how to decorate yourself. Those who do tend to be either insecure about themselves, or very controlling. Either way, it's their problem, not yours.
You are right, grooming is a "personal" choice and "not mandatory". There is no reason that other people removing hair from their face or any other part of their body should make others "ill inside" any more than how a person dresses or doesn't dress should offend someone else. Some people want to be hairy and others don't. It's their body.
Shaving/waxing is a personal choice. Respecting others for what they value is to me what naturism is about too. If you love hair, great, if you don't great too! As you rightly say, if you want to follow the herd of sheeps and this makes you happy, so be it! As long as I can be naked and be surrounded by like minded people who love me for who I am and not who they want me to be, then peace and harmony on the world!
You are a beloved Naturist Marc, whatever you choose to do, or not do to your body ;)(hug)
I shave my chin simply because I don't want a beard! BUT the rest of my body entirely is naturally hairy! The only place I can't have hair where I would have liked some is. . . on the top of my head! I am the only male in my family to have developed a large bald area on my head! (why me?). . . but I haven't had any bad reaction to my hairiness. . . most people (daily) are too shocked (initially) that I am naked! 😀
You shave your chin? That's why you look so much like a child. 😀
I agree completely. Natural is always hugely better. Shaving to look childish or whatever is just ugly and fadish, in my opinion. I don't enjoy seeing them either.
Agreed..to look or feel like a child is wrong reason..if not why the hair grow there in the first place..how long still the evolution..
