Are you a smoothie?

[Nu]

Do you shave your pubic areas or not?

[funnaked]

what about us that only shave parts not all?

[bnudes]

Not yet but i want to be, i have to fiqure out what to say to guys that see me in the showers at school

[FireProf]

In my opinion, a smoothie is someone who removes all hair from their body.

What has happened is that we've broadened the "nudist/naturist" definition to include those who only shave their pubic hair but leave other parts unshaved, when we make reference to smoothies.

I have professed to being a smoothie because my wife and I remove most or all of our pubic hair but are not "smoothies" in the sense that we have a completely hairless body.

So.....your poll can be a contradiction depending on on what your definition of a smoothie is.

Completely smooth
Almost completely smooth
Partially smooth
Only genital smooth

I am a genital smoothie! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

The Prof could be considered Almost completely smooth.....only has hair on her head, eyebrows and arms.

But really, it shouldn't matter whether you've got hair anywhere on you body or not. We are just nudists who happen to shave various parts of our body for us. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Fuzzy Nuts]

I voted that I was a male smoothie but would like to change it to a male genital smoothie

[Al Bundy]

No, not a smoothie. If there was a permanent hair removal system where it would not grow back, I would consider it. Depending on the cost of course.

[funnaked]

I do not have a probem with males that are smooth, I think the ones that have "the island"look funny. females, smooth great or whatever

[Fuzzy Nuts]

PLEASE - What is the "island look"?

[nudenwv]

had to put my vote here! am a smoothie and enjoy the clean look. avon now has skin so soft body wash/shave gel! try it out at: http://www.youravon.com/pbricker

B, from the lifestyle we have (beachies, surfing, etc.) I know that some get kidded but some young guys are doing it more and more. Just to be different which with your age group, is what it is about, no? Just say: try it, you might like it!

I'll maybe give that a try. I know I have to learn to be more upfront about being a nudist and being a smoothie is a part of that.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Would like to know how to get my pubic hair long enough to braid or put into dread locks.

[Sauna]

I'm not and I have no reason to be.

[Nu]

Where are the females?

I know that this forum has a fairly significant male slant, but so far; the females are not represented in this poll at all.

[nimrod]

Yeah, Nu! Danee made a comment, but did not vote, or voted wrong. As typical the majority is male.

[jann8000]

I have been back and forth a few times, hair to smooth, hair to smooth.....I have decided that for me smooth is best.

[Sacramento Jesse]

Not a smoothie. I used to be for years but now I've been growing mine out for about half a year and I actually like the look of it. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[DenitaLC]

It depends on my mood and perhaps the time of year...a winter coat is always a nice option!

I agree. I usually trim a little in the summer but otherwise keep it natural most of the year.

I'm 100% natural here. Well, I guess I do shave my face most of the time, but that's it. I'll have to try the braiding/dreadlocks idea sometime!

[Ski Dude]

I'm a trimmer/smoothie.

[justnude]

like many others here, I feel that the poolquestions are a bit broad. What is a smoothie....genetial area only or full body smooth? Again like many others here-smoth genetials with the rest natural.

There is a permanent solution, it's called lazer and had started it but got too expensive, $800 for a brazilian. Can't imagine what a whole body would run.

I'm a genital smoothie but I also get the legs waxed about twice a year, great for getting the dead skin off after that first spring burn (I'm bad, I didn't use sun screen).

[need2Bnude]

I was a smoothie for a time, but find the ladies prefer a little bit of hair, even if its just trimmed, at this point I prefer to have some hair.

[Al Bundy]

Thanks for the info Garry. If they charge that much for just that area of the body I can only imagine what a full body would run. Not willing to sell my house to be a complete smoothie. I would probably be a little apprehensive of a laser being used in certain portions of my anatomy.

[JohnE44]

I did the chaest and genetial area I like the feel and look seems cooler in the summer

[earthpassenger(Kevin)]

I'm fairly hairy all over (compared to the average male) so the idea of being smooth anywhere is something of a lost cause for me--maybe not if I end up bald someday!
Peace,
Kevin

[Elendil]

I'm a smoothy. I thought it was a dumb idea at first. But I now find it cleaner and easy to maintain.

[UpstateNYBill]

I'm about as far from a "smoothy" as you can get.

[polingot]

my husband and i are smoothies

[papanudist]

I am wife no. If I could afford it the only hair I would leave is my eyebrows. Saw a person once with no eyebrows and that just looked weird to me.

[JohnE44]

this is another reason to be a smoothy if you go without underwere less to get caught

[P.J.]

Personally, I don't care for the smoothie look.
For one thing, it makes some adults look like they haven't yet reached puberty, but that's just my opinion. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/confused.gif
Some of my friends are smoothies and judging by the results of the poll, so far, I guess I'm in the minority. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sad3.gif
Interesting question. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/applause.gif

[TexasNude]

Haven't tried the smoothie. I am a trimmer, like my wife. Braids, now that would be a hassle?

[NakedShayne]

I have been a smoothie ever since I was able to grow hair there. To me it just looks alot cleaner. When others shave it looks alot better.

[Nu]

Interesting results with the "Smoothies" being narrowly more popular.
Figure a similar poll,done 10 years ago, would have been sharply different.

Thanks to all who voted.

[Nu]

Maybe of equal importance is that when one is about to experience social nudity, she/he should not be surprised to see the shaven or unshaven.
Also, with the results similar, she/he will not feel out of place.

[nacktman]

The top of my head is as smooth as a baby's behind, does that count?

[FMII]

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/eusa_dance.gif I have been a smoothie for about 20 years. For me, I am a avid runner and I exercise quite a bit and I feel much better being shaven. Additionally, on log runs I am not bothered by by pubic hair being cought in the pants of the shorts like it used to do. I feel it is much cleaner.
FCMII

[nakedjohn]

I have been a smoothie for a while, and love the clean feeling.

[BrianRI]

I shave the hair above the penis and the small of my back only. I shaved my butt a few times, but my wife didn't like the feel of it if I didn't shave it that day.

[Matt Cotter]

I've been a smoothie for years now, and love it. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/beam.gif

[Lilwilly]

I would love to be a smoothy but my wife hates it so I have to be satisfied with a short trim.

[Orangexcalibare]

Right now, neither my girlfriend nor myself are smoothies.

[I. B. Nekkid]

Curiousity got the best of me so I removed the hair on my upper body and pubic area. I then went to the local CO resort to get the experience of being exposed to the elements. After a while I came to realize that I looked and felt ridiculous, it's too much work, and my scandinavian skin is too sensitive to all that shaving and chemicals! So I'm going to stay with my usual routine of keeping my shaft and scrotum clean-shaven and the pubes above closely trimmed because I do like the look and feel of that.

[Gene]

I am and will forever be a SMOOTHIE...I only have one problem. What to do when I have a physical. I have to let it grow out, so I don't become the topic of office humor. It's unusual to see a guy who's smooth. It's more accepted for women.

[need2Bnude]

I enjoy being smooth, the difficult part is when i get around people that don't understand "smoothie". Eh, smoothie is me, and i love the feeling of freedom of clothes, and hair. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cool4.gif

Im smooth just about everywhere; chest, arms/armpits, legs, pubes, balls, *** and crack and although everyone has their own personal preference i would advise others to follow suit, being completly smooth is awesome!

[Natureisone]

Yes wife and i have been smoothies for a few years now and just love it. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif
I shave all my pubic region and trim the rest of my body with the clippers.
Wife has been smoothie since puberty, as she never did like pubic hair when it startted to grow,
so she all ways shaved it off since she was about 13yrs old. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

I'm curious as to how long it takes to shave entire body (not counting removing facial hair) and how often do you have to do it? It only takes a couple of minutes to do shaft and sack and I am fair haired. Do you have a lot of dark body hair?

[walter05]

Fuzzy Nuts;

If you are shaving your scrotum then how can you still be fuzzy?

Since it is the topic, I am not a smoothie anywhere. (The closest I am is on the top or my head.)

HI brad,
I do agree with you that being completely smooth is just awesome. I have been totally smooth for many years now and will never go back having hair on any parts of my body. I just love the look and the feeling of being completely hairless.
Welcome to the clothesfree forum

Totallysmoothnudist

[HokkaidoRob]

I've gone back and forth on this one and like both options for different reasons. I suppose that I best prefer the trimmed look.

[bnudes]

I'm not a smoothie yet but I plan on it. I haven't thought of a way to explain it to non nudist friends

[Fuzzy Nuts]

I am a complete smoothie below belly button but may let mat above shaft grow back in -not sure if I like the completely bald look but will wait a couple of months for final decision. I know that the shaft and jewels will remain hairless.

[Orangexcalibare]

UPDATE!

As of this past Saturday my girlfriend is a smoothie. She has done it in the past but hasn't for about 8 months until Saturday. I'd like to affirm her and let everyone know that she looks GREAT! As she was shaving I said something along the lines of how I should give it a try and she responded that she preferred me with hair, so I did not follow her suit.

Saturday evening we went to a nude house party and she recieved a ton of comments about how great she looked. Some of our friends had seen her smooth before but as I said above, not for many months. There were 11 people at the party and 5 of them were smoothies, my girlfriend, 2 other ladies and 2 men. One duo of the smoothies was a husband and wife team. Anyways, just thought you all would enjoy hearing about this weekends activities. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/eusa_dance.gif

[MoCpl]

I have been a smoothie for number of years, at my wifes request. My wife on the other hand prefers to trim and keep a little on top.

[TxBeachin]

Wife and I are both smooth and wouldn't have it any other way! I'm thinking of trying the all over smooth look but not sure if it's worth the trouble or if I even have the body for it. Any suggestions would be great!

[Jay473]

Nope I just trim. Its about half an inch long. I don't liked the smooth look all that much because it itches when its growing back

[Revolutionary]

B, from the lifestyle we have (beachies, surfing, etc.) I know that some get kidded but some young guys are doing it more and more. Just to be different which with your age group, is what it is about, no? Just say: try it, you might like it!

Question, I have not been to a nude beach for about 2 years now. The wife and I have started the "smooth" look thing (actually I find it more comfortable) but I will be visiting Miami soon and have read about Haulover Beach. Is this trendy enough that it will generally go unnoticed or is it something that might attract stares? Just curious what percentage of nudists at nude beaches or resorts (male and female) are going with this trend.

[nakedjohn]

If you feel good being smooth, go for it. No one will care.

[emsdude]

Have been smooth for long time and loven it, it makes you look young feeling great.

[Matt King]

A female friend of mine tried the smooth look at the beach. I guess she had just shaved and with the salt water it looked like she had some kind of disease. Red and really bad looking.

[kphoger]

i recently trimmed, but i don't think i'll ever shave completely. my leg hair goes all the way up to my pubic hair, so it would just look ridiculous.

i didn't trim for comfort or looks. i trimmed because my pubic hair just gets in the way sometimes. those of you who are/were very hairy probably understand what i'm talking about. it gets caught in the zipper, it traps feces no matter how well you wipe, it traps bodily fluids after sex, you get the idea. i no longer have those problems, even though i'm not a smoothie.

i was looking through a photographer's book of "people of color" nudes yesterday in barnes & noble, and realized that i do NOT like the smooth look in black and white. in real life or in color i think it's attractive on women, but i've never seen a man who was a smoothie.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Have felt like I am waiting for puberty to happen ever since I did a complete genital shave. I like the feeling but I think I will let mat grow back in below naval and leave genitals hair free.

[Shavedinohio]

I have been a smoothie for many years. I am shaved from the neck down and love the way it feels

[NewShyNJGuy]

I've been for about three weeks now and my girlfriend is going on about 3-4 months. I have to shave about everyday, but it's worth it. The Norelco Body Groom is actually really good. it may take longer than shaving with a razor, but i still have not gotten any shaving rash. It's good for all parts of the genital region, you just have to pull it taught enough for it to work.

[SoCalSmoothy]

Originally posted by Nu:

I am a total smoothie and have been more than half my life. Indeed, my family expects me to be as smooth as they are. My wife throws a fit if my legs and genitals are not waxed, shaved or plucked. My kids tells me my barely hairy back is a forest. So my wife takes out the epilator and plucks away. My wife says she never liked adult movies because the guys were always too hairy.

So am I a smoothie? You bet and darn proud of it.

[Wildcard]

I have been shaving [ or now useing "VEET"] for years, way before it was the IN thing. I have very little body hair to start with so my chest and legs have very little. I enjoy the look and feel of it and I feel very naked.

[totallysmoothnudist]

Yes and I am proud to be one. I have been totally smooth from nose to toes for over 15 years now and will never go back having hair on my body. I know that body shaving is time consuming but for me, it is well worth it. Like most smoothies, I just love the look and the feeling of being entirely hairless and naked.

[roadrambler2]

positively ,makes me run faster !!!!!

[NorthVanNudist]

As I believe the term "smoothie" refers to being completely without body hair,I had to vote male and not a smoothie. I shave my balls and around the shaft of my penis, but do grow the pubic hair above my penis (although I keep it trimmed reasonably short). This just takes a few minutes a day to maintain, and I do it simply because I enjoy both the look and the feel.

As nudists, there seems to be a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of shaving. I can only assume those males who are so opposed to shaving other areas of the body on the grounds of being "natural" all have full facial beards and moustaches. But as a nudist, I equate shaving other areas of the body to shaving the face. Some of us are clean shaven, some have goatees, some have moustaches, and some have full beards and moustaches. Just a matter of preference.

Fuzzy Nuts mentioned he was going to let the hair above his penis grow in. I have seen lots of other men with this "half-and-half" shave I prefer at Wreck Beach, so I think it must be reasonably common.

[hommenudist]

I voted male smoothie. I remove hair everywhere from the neck down, that is everywhere I can reach safely with a razor. Fortunately, I come from a family that was not very hairy and hair does not grow on my back. Do have a few small hairs where I cannot see but using a razor there is not worth the risk. Not much hair on legs either so once every 6 weeks handles that. The pubic area is shaved about twice a week.

[emsdude]

Smoothie all the way ,no hair no problem makes you look younger I think.

[Al Bundy]

Another Dear Abby regarding a hairy situation.
"I have been dating Hennie for a few months. Although I have been in relationships where I thought I was in love, this relationship is special. I don't believe in rushing into intimacy, but we agree it is time to take our relationship to a new level.

The problem is that she doesn't want me to be naked in bed. Hennie does not like the feel of body hair and insists that if we are to be naked together I must shave or wax all of it.

Cuddling nude is extremely important to me. It makes no sense to be in the same bed and not hold each other. It is so important to be with her that I will try to get rid of my hair, but I can't help but wonder whether this is a red flag. Could she be a lesbian? Could she be doing this to put me off or test me in antother fashion? Something about this doesn't feel right, and I am not sure if I should comply or not. - Hairy"

__________________________________________

A good answer for Hairy....Keep the hair, and get rid of Hennie, just a few months and she is already trying to gain control. Find someone that likes you the way you are.

[hommenudist]

Like I said before I am a male smoothie from the neck down. It enhances the feeling of freedom from clothing. Even though I shave I would prefer to be waxed professionally; draw back is that I am too shy to make the necessary inquiries of estheticians to find out which one(s) would be willing to wax me from the neck to the toes. Including a brazilan wax.

[nudebushwalker]

Rather than shave my body, I get it waxed every 12 - 13 weeks (started off at 6 week intervals several years ago, but gradually extended intervals (the regrowth does actually slow down and thin out, over time (a v e r y long time..), despite what some people claim)). A little short term pain, but lasts longer and smoother...

[BrianP]

Something I have noticed is that the females of this site do not post on this topic. Why is that? I have also noticed we do not get many posts from the ladies on other topics either. I would like to know why if anyone has the answer or think they might know. Thanks!

In terms of females, there are not very many on the whole forum.

Doesn't appear to have a long beard either. I am not sure that I would shave as much if I also had chest and back hair that kept growing out.

At the present time I am not a smoothie, and have not been smooth for about six months. I have been a smoothie and really enjoy the look and feel of being smooth. My girlfriend shaves about once a month and looks great smooth. I will start shaving again at some point in the near future. The first shave after letting the hair grow is always difficult but it gets easier with each shave

[gymnoboi]

YES I'm a smoothie and love it. It's been so long since I've had pubic hair I can't even remember what it looked like.

[nudismguy]

I'm an almost completely smoothie to use Fireprof's classification system. :rolleyes:

[wingshot]

Not a smothie here, but I like the look.

[NudeMinMaine007]

Not a smoothie here. (But would love to be) I havnt had pubic hair for many years now and would never grow it back. The problem I have being a complete smoothie is due to the fact that I am a very hairy person. The amout of time I would need to shave it all would just be foolish let alone trying to do the places that I can't reach.Maby some day I will be able to afford to go have it all waxed.I have done the waxing on the pubic area and found it to be the only way to do it, but the cost facter is to high to do waxing all the time,so I shave on a daily basis and every now and then go in and get it waxed.

[texasjoe]

Another smoothie here. I shave every other day. I'm lucky that my hair cooperates. It almost never itches.

[DenitaLC]

Right now yes but it depends upon my mood.


That is my stance too......it's the one hair style I do tend to change more than that on my head!
;)

[smoothdnbelow]

Okay everyone...as you can tell by my log-in I am a smoothie and have been for quite awhile. Nothing else like it. I wouldn't go back because this way is so much more comfortable and hygenic. It's no trouble if one maintains this a couple times a week and I don't think you have to remove All of your body hair to be labeled as one. Try it once and you won't go back. Enjoy!!

[Prasant]

It is great to be smooth.. but I dont shave completely.. jsut trim it very short..

[B4dger]

Both my wife and I are smooth. I have been smooth for 30+ years, my wife for about 25 years. We were definatly in the minority, in fact we were the minority, who were shaved at our club all those years ago. How times change, we are now a part of the majority.

[Unclothed Aubrey]

I am a genital smoothie! I shave my chest once in awhile.

I am not a total smoothie. I shave shaft and balls,and trim the rest short. I shave everyday.

[computerstation]

i have been shaving my pubic hairs about once a week for about a year and a half now. it feels wonderful. wife has tried it, but says it's too itchy growing back. i say shave more often, she says it iratates her skin.

i think both women and men look better smooth

[RichNH]

Question: I know that if you shave your face with a blade verses an electric razor the skin develops less sensitivity and toughens up a bit.

Has anyone noticed the same for other areas of the body?

[cybernude]

Rich

Yes Rich this was the case for me.
The first couple of weeks your skin is a little more sensitive and then you will just adapt to the shaving just like on your face. After a while you will no longer have a rash or itching at all.
I shave with baby powder and no water at all because, the water causes the skin to swell and the hair is more lkiely to become ingrown or itch. You can get a much smoother and better shave in your nether regions this way.

[natureboy2]

I like the "clean" feel but, too much hair and too much time involved to stay that way.

[shaved couple jp]

Hi friends, we are smooth for ever. Since we met 30 years ago, we enjoy it. We shaved, pulled it out hair by hair and so on. It feels fantastic.

have a nice time and stay smooth

Personally I feel better being smooth, It looks better and feels cleaner to me. I have shaved my whole body my whole life with few exceptions. but of course to each their own.:D

[bigmac2x2]

[smoothdnbelow]

Smoothie forever. The look and feel is awesome. Not hard to maintain if you keep doing it frequently. Smooth as a babies bottom!!

[Shavedinohio]

Being shaved from the neck down and having a full body tan is what I like best.

[1smooth1]

As you can tell by my log in I am a genital smoothie. I am not real hairy so there is not a noticeable shave line. I shave the shaft, balls and all above the shaft every day. By shaving daily I don't have any stubble or redness or bumps and it only takes a few minutes to do.

[nakedjohn]

For me it is time to get the razors out. Have not shaved in a week. Love the smooth feeling.

We shave everything from neck down but wonder about laser hair removal for genital area. Has anyone here done it and would they mind sharing details of procedure (does it hurt much when they get to the 'good parts') and telling about how much it cost? Thanks

[miken]

Love the look and feel. Just wish that it wouldn't grow back so fast.

[NKID_D57]

I have gone back and forth between full brush, trimed, and smooth. Currently I am smooth. Been so for about a month. I love the feeling.

[Nakios]

Been smooth with little or no pubes since for almost 15 years. No going back ever!

[ShaylaAndrews]

I have been a nudist since age twelve, but have only been a smoothie for about 7 years. I started to shave it all off after my divorce, sort of like starting with a clean slate. I loved how I felt without the hair and have been doing it ever since.

[florida-david]

too much work to keep shaving. If god had wanted you to be smooth, he would have not made hair grow all over. It seems as you get older, certain parts of the body get harry-er and others less so. I prefer to let nature take it's course and let the hair grow. If it was not for societal norms, i would probably let my facial hair and the hair on my head grow as well, but folks in my line of work are generally clean cut. I don't like to see everyone shaved, but it is their body to do as they wish. I prefer my natural fur.

[naturistrunner]

Both my wife and myself have remained shaven since the beginning of the year - one of the few New Year resolutions we've kept!

Just added some of my photos too

[Aaron_bongart]

No, not a smoothie. If there was a permanent hair removal system where it would not grow back, I would consider it. Depending on the cost of course.

Now there is!

Have been shaving or keeping it closely trimmed for about ten years.

Variety is the spice of life

[tanmatt]

Never thought of smoothie as refering to all body hair.

[BeachBum]

Nose to toes..... love the smooth look and feel :)

[steve53]

Greetings ya'll, new guy here, I've enjoyed the comments posted here and I would agree that it's a personal choice. I was smooth then I was not and yet may be again. It's kinda cold around here and even the opportunity to be nude is far from Texarkana. Regretably these forums are as close as I can get to socially nude without getting arrested. Former member AANR. When in Florida there were no nude beaches in the area and the beach I liked was up at Venice. It wasn't a nude beach so I settled for wearing the smallest swimsuit I could find to match the legal requirements. Not sure I could do that at a local lake here. Shaving was a neccesity which gave at least a sensory feel of being nude. I love the beach, the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea.

Happy Holidays to all

[MJ_KC]

I had been shaving on occasion up until about 2 years ago, when I decided to stay that way. Now I remove all hair except my eyebrows, eyelashes and the hair on the top of my head.

Shaving was working OK, but I wanted to try something besides just shaving with a Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor. I tried waxing a couple of times and did not like this at all. Way too much pain and it is messy. A few weeks ago I ordered an Epilady epilator, online from Target, and got it in two days from when I ordered it.

I was already shaved, but thought I would try it out. Being shaved turned out to be a good thing as that meant it wasn't able to find as many hairs to pull out. That meant that there wasn't much pain to deal with. I used it twice a day for the first two weeks and now there isn't any real need to shave every day. There is almost no stubble at this point and each time I use it, there will be less to deal with until I reach whatever maximum benefit it has to offer. Well worth the money.

[sdson]

I use a chemical hair remover and it works pretty well. The down side is that it's smelly (I use it in my outdoor shower-problem sloved) and you have to be careful to keep it away from your genital (It burns like the devil). I bought an epilator a few years ago but I wasn't consistent using it. From your post it sounds like the results are better (no hair growth) if you stick with it. Maybe I'll give it another try.
I usually just trim my pubes but remove hair from underarms, legs, chest, penis and scrotum. I sweat a lot and having less body hair makes me feel cleaner.
This time my pubes are smooth too. It's a new look and I'm still getting used to it.
If I decide I don't like it, it's not permanent.

[nudeinwa57]

Just a dumb question. I have dreamed of being smooth a long time and am going to start this week. Should I shave everything with a blade razor first be trying to use any of these tools like the epliator?

[MJ_KC]

Just a dumb question. I have dreamed of being smooth a long time and am going to start this week. Should I shave everything with a blade razor first be trying to use any of these tools like the epliator?

Shave first. You wouldn't want an epilator getting hold of a large chunk of hair all at one time. That would not be my idea of a fun thing. Also, do not try to use an epilator on your genitals, unless you don't need them any more. This is from personal experience. Momentary contact was enough to convince me. Ouch!

If you have never shaved, or it has been a long time. You might want to shave every few days for about a month before trying anything more harsh such as waxing or using an epilator. Give your skin time to adjust and you will have better results.

[nudeinwa57]

Thank you for all the good advice. How about Nair, do you think it would be a good alternative to shaving? Once again not the genitals I understand. :)

[Nu]

There was originally a poll attached to this thread.
It appears it did not get carried over during the recent forum system conversion.
But,by my recollection, it was running about 50/50 on shaved versus unshaved.
This 50/50 split carried thru to both males and females.
This is great.
That's means that no one going to a nude beach will feel out of place.

[MJ_KC]

I have never used a chemical hair remover because of the danger of a chemical burn. What I am doing works so good that I am not interested in trying Nair.

[nudeinwa57]

Thanks for all the help MJ.
Today, as a Christmas gift I received a Norelco Body Shaver. This solves my issue as to what to use on a regular basis. I tried out and it works wonderful with no problems.

Merry Christmas

:)

[RichNH]

Just be sure to use a new blade and little pressure. Go slow and do not cover the same area more than once or twice.

[rikkiann]

Ive been completly smooth since i was 13 and id never go back. i think it
is so much cleaner that way

[shaneone]

I used to shave, now I wax instead. Its great, will never go back

[nudeinfl]

Sometimes I shave, sometimes I do not. Depends upon my mood. Periodically I like change-or get lazy.

[fre2bnude]

I can't be bothered to shave my face let alone my body. My head and facial hair gets trimmed because I have to do so but the rest of my body hair is just left to grow, that doesn't need trimming. To be honest I prefer to see some body hair.

[Sauna]

It was interesting to read the postings in this thread backwards. You can notice that many persons have changed their minds several times during this thread.

[martinvt]

I only occassionally go smooth. More often in the summer.

[nudeinwa57]

I have only been shaved sice last month and so far I love it. But will need to look at another way than shaving, it's pretty time consuming. :)

[Bobby Hill]

Aren't we meant to have pubic hair ?? its there for some reason.

[NudstRalph]

Being smooth is more cleaner and looks very nice. I have been shaving my pubic area for over 15yrs.

[Cheri]

Not a smoothie at all and will never be.

[Pete Knight]

Not a smoothie at all and will never be.

Me neither, I much prefer the natural look, I did shave for an operation once but found it uncomfortable so I'm glad to back in full foliage.

Pete Knight

[Quietman1951]

Nope, that would be to great a task to under take, and extreemly difficult to mantain.
I'll just keep it all natural.

[Josh-here]

Nope, definitely not a smoothie here! I know its real popular, but i have never understood it. I think it looks strange, especially on a guy. Only seen it in pictures, but I think it makes middle aged men look like they are returning to the baby stage, or like "big, round, pre-pubiscent boys" :)) Just my own opinion....

[no_tlines]

I would say semi-smooth, here....neatly trimmed :)

[nakeduni]

Yep, smoothie all the way. Feels better.

[countryguync]

I tend to shave all over when the weather warms up about april. I keep the bush late fall through winter.:D

[GrayWolf]

Full beard and need a haircut at the moment, but smooth from neck down for a long time. Wife is smooth too - without the beard! It has benifits. Try it. You might like it. It's not irreversable you know.

[bobontheriver]

I agree that the time of year figures into the mix somewhat. I live on the lake, in the desert, so in the spring and summer, it is all gone. But, in the winter, when it is too cold to enjoy any sun, I give myself a break and let it come back a bit. I still have it trimmed short, and some dangly bits are still smooth as I ride a mtn bike a lot year around

[NakedSailor]

if you have a hairy chest and stomach how do you decide where to start the smooth part?
personally i just trim, i tried smooth but my wife didn't like it as much

[Steveapple]

Natural here. Can't see the point in being smooth. I know one's not supposed to look at others, but can't help feeling that smooth guys always look somehow 'incomplete' to me, as though something is wrong.

[almclatchie]

I have tried shaving but hate the regrowth and, always seem to get a rash despite different techniques. Tried creams, to inconsistent results. If anyone knows of a truely permanent method of removal I would be very interested, would even use it on my head as there is not much left up there anyway.

[nakedjohn]

Tomorrow is shave day, can't wait to a smooth body.

[naturistoftheyear]

Already quite annoyed at having to shave my face every day to keep it uncovered, so I'm certainly not going to bother shaving it down there as well.

[tk]

My wife enjoys the fact that I shave off the pubes,as do I. She did also for a while but it was a pain for her to keep on shaving.

[smoothdnbelow]

I've been a smoothie now for 6yrs and love it. There is no better feeling than being smooth. No real hassle to keep it that way. Just regular shaving and upkeep. For those who question whether they would like it or not, give it a try!
You won't be sorry.
Smooth and proud of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SilentJ]

Another smoothie here.

I was a smoothie off and on through my early and mid-20s. In my late 20s, I started cycling frequently and the constant tugging of hairs on long rides convinced me that I should stay smooth during the warmer months. After a couple summers of being smooth, I got used to the feeling and now I stay smooth year round.

[melissastarr]

I want to be a smoothie and have tried it on 2 occassions, most recently New Years of this year. The problem is the actual shaving: it's a lot of work and it's hard work, as I can't see the area that I'm working on (my breasts get in the way.... ) So I'm not sure it's going to happen again unless/ until I have a significant other to help out, a bath tub (I only have a shower stall now, rather than a bathtub with shower), or some kind of inspiration. Still, I do want to be a smoothie as I like the feel of it and I think I like the look of it now.

While I too think it would be fun to do the smoothification process with a s/o....until you meet somebody you might consider going to a salon. One of the girl's that I work with had me laughing so hard my sides hurt when she told of being taken for a "Brazillian" w/o knowing excactly what she was getting.

[melissastarr]

What in the world? A salon???? Somehow I can't imagine my hair salon doing such a thing. Is that the kind of salon you mean? And I'd have to go like every other day, too- kind of weird, huh?

Melissa

[DenitaLC]

Currently, Yes, sporting the smooth look. It's a mood thing! :)

[barebuns]

I've shaved a few times over the years, too much work to maintain. It's all I can do to keep my face shaven. I believe the last time was as part of my Halloween costume - I shaved nearly my whole body including my head, wore a top hat, carried a broom, painted myself white, my eyes black, and my nose and penis orange. I was an anatomically correct snowman. The trouble was the bald white head and black eyes made me look scary like the voodoo witch doctor from Jame Bond many years ago, not fun like Frosty.

[NudeTopher]

Yes, that is exactly the kind of salon that I mean. Except instead of them shaving your (to borrow a word from Homer Simpson) "goodies" they will wax them. Others on here will tell how waxing makes much sense since the results last for such a long time.

[melissastarr]

Waxing? Sounds painful. Any reviews on that one.... or is anyone still alive to tell a review?

Melissa

[Malkovsky]

I tried shaving once or twice before and even though I like the look its way to much work so trimming is must do.

[GrayWolf]

Darn right I'm a smoothie, from the neck down. Full beard from neck up. Shaving time is probably the same as you clean shaven guys. And no visible stubble if you skip a day! My wife has been smooth a lot longer than me. It's just a matter of practice and going slow when you get close to the good parts. Razor bumps go away after a couple of months and then it's just like parts that you've been shaving for years. Visit shaving section of your store for 'stuff' to put on razor 'red bumps' and you'll be fine. Try it. It's not irreversible you know.

[wantago9]

[QUOTE=DenitaLC;4163]It depends on my mood and perhaps the time of year...a winter coat is always a nice option!

I agree with DenitaLC. In fact when hair starts to grow back I get itching. Guess my hair is thick. So . . . I trim in the summer time, just so that, I get tan all around. At least I tried.:confused:

[MJ_KC]

Tomorrow is shave day, can't wait to a smooth body.

My Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor stays in the shower and I shave every time that I take a shower. If I feel any stubble, it is gone. I don't wait for it to grow out any. I also use an Epilady epilator if I decide to wait long enough for the hair on my legs to grow out slightly. It pulls the hair out and then there isn't much to shave for weeks.

I have to go to the doctor a lot and get frequent blood tests and was getting real tired of getting the hair ripped off various parts of my body. Doesn't happen now that I also shave my arms. Getting the hair ripped off my arms was hurting more than the stick from the blood tests.

I go in for heart surgery and heart catheterization in a few weeks and there won't be much need for any shaving prior to this being done.

[MJ_KC]

Waxing? Sounds painful. Any reviews on that one.... or is anyone still alive to tell a review?

Melissa
Tried a do-it-yourself kit a couple of times and decided that shaving every day in order to stay totally smooth was a much better option. No wax for me.

[wolf_humor]

I would like to get the permanent hair removal. Otherwise, it is hard to get a fully good shave. I usually just trim it down to about a half inch.

[naked4me]

ive been smooth for over 10 years now wouldnt have it any other way

[NakationGal]

Waxing is great (at least for women) - the more often you do it, the easier it gets. It just gets real expensive :eek:

Take some pain killers beforehand, and make sure your waxer uses numbing cream.

[chops]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But now that I live in the warmer climes I think it's a habit I'm gonna keep. I've heard waxing is super smooth and lasts longer. Maybe a home kit some time...

[Larry Sam]

hey I tried the waxing and the pain drove me back to being hairy. Too much trouble for me

[pault413]

I guess I'll never be a smoothie. I'll never sahve my beard. Actually I think I have always preferred natural. If it grows naturally leave it alone, except to trim it up.

[pault413]

Additional comment. I actually felt more naked when I did shave my genitals than when I do not.

[eagle59]

I have tried both the totally smooth look and the close trim look. of the 2 I prefer the close trim. I do shave the hair off my shaft, but the rest I trim with electric clippers. I am very hairy and my hair grows very, very quickly so when I tried the smooth thing it was very itchy and it botherd me a lot. I have found that by triming close, you can achieve the clean look you desire without all the bother of shaving daily and scratching constantly.

[cmasson]

i shave all my hair about once a year but i always shave around my genitals leaving a nice clean straight line about three inches above every other day

[Viper05]

no , i don`t shave , i just trimm it a little when it gets really long

[Bobby Hill]

NO !!! We were meant to have some pubic hair.

[GrayWolf]

Yes!!!!!!! We were meant to shave our pubes and let our beards grow! And get an occasional haircut. Try it and see. It's not irreversible you know.

[BackpackerBrian]

I am not a smoothie. I am a person.

BUT, if I were to be a smoothie, I'd be one that had lots of strawberries, bananas, probably blueberries (be cause I LOVE blueberries), perhaps some pineapple juice, and maybe even exotic kiwis.


What kind of smoothie would you be??

[nakedcowboy]

not a smoothie at all. I enjoy all the colors of my hair, brown, red, blonde.. I am practially a calico! No need to remove what nature gave me, it's a work of art in itself

[naked in ohio]

This thread reminds me of a question Gilbert Gottfried was asked on Hollywood Squares one time. He was asked, "What do you do about a hairy back?"
His reply, "Welllll......I always close my eyes and try to imagine that she's wearing an Alpaca sweater." lol

[unitednudist]

Ive shaved it once, I hate the feeling of it shaved. Will never shave it again, although I MAY trim it. Overall I don't really mind how it looks.

[str8nudeguy]

^i used to shave it initially but now i trim it...i find smoothies good to look at.... although some hair is not bad either

[fre2bnude]

I'm happy with my body hair, so is my wife.

[Quietman1951]

I would not even think of removing my body hair. For me it is an early warning system, I can usually feel the presents of biting insects, before they can attack my skin.

Besides it would be too great of an effort, to remove all of my body hair.

I'll stay natural as God made me.

[mountainman]

I must confess that I find body hair gross; for me there is nothing more attractive than a completely smooth body, especially if it is a male body. I am male, I am not gay, but, sorry, that is my opinion.

I agree, I find body hair gross. I'm straight and I feel a fit nude human form, devoid of all body hair is perfect art, and very pleasing to view, male, female, or better, poseing together.

[atalanta]

My body hair is part of me and I have no interest in getting rid of it. First, it would be too much work and I cannot safely reach my back with a razor. Also I feel that it helps to dissipate perspiration in hot weather or during exercise, and to avoid chafe, while in cold weather providing a degree of warming insulation under clothing.

[steve1979]

i hate clothes, and i hate hair, so i'm a smoothie naturist ;)

[jippison]

i shave my body from neck down. love the look on me and others. more guys should try it.

[hemster]

not a smoothie!

[camerashy]

I started by just trimming a bit but had a ex-girlfriend that got me onto shaving my pubic area clean. Now I shave everywhere with the exception of my pecs, my wife and I both like the shaved look but she still likes to the look of my chest hair, I don't have much but she want's me to keep it. So other than that we're both smoothies :)

[blindmanin99]

I don't shave, but I am a partial smoothie. I like the feeling of not having hair on my scrotum. I have shaved before, but I didn't like the stubble that grew in and I always got nervous with the razor. Instead, I use Nair, but am very careful with it. If you try it, make sure you don't leave it on too long (it'll hurt). I actually haven't used it in a while. Once I removed most of the hair, I finished the rest with some tweezers and maintain it every day or two, also with the tweezers. It's not any trouble at all and it doesn't hurt. Does anybody else do anything like this?

[tdstorm]

I prefer to wax the pubes, lasts a lot longer.

[Nudekj]

I don´t shave. I´m hairy & I like it. I like to be as natural as possible, this is why I like naturism. I have nothing against those who prefere to shave though.

[Mike_001]

I'm officially a smoothie now, and love it.

[Fredro Starr]

I am a trimmer...

Story of my life, inability to commit...

[Naturist Zoar]

Just kissed my beard good-by the other day.
I left the moustache though.
I was amazed that I had no tan line on my face.

[nmnudem]

I don't mind the smooth look on others, but as for me I don't like the way I look without hair. I tried shaving my chest once and absolutely couldn't wait for it to grow back! Since I am also quite hairy I had problems with a few ingrown hairs too, ouch! I do however trim my pubic area and sometimes shave my sac and shaft smooth, but I don't think that qualifies me as any sort of smoothie, more like a "manscaper" :D

[DaveNudist]

I finally decided to try out the smoothie look tonight and I love it... This summer I had my first experience with real nudism since I went to a resort for a day and the one thing I noticed was most people shaved... So I finally decided to try it today and it's great, and I somehow feel even more nude than I was before....lol

[zad]

My girlfriend got rid of my hair once with cream. It felt good for a couple of days but was itchy as hell when it started to grow back. I just stay a la natural now ;)

[Naked in SATX]

I will sometimes shave or trim, but I'm real lazy about keeping it up, so it stays pretty hairy most of the time.

[pault413]

Anyone ever tried any of the hair removal creams? Are they safe? Do they work? I am afraid of razors in my genital region.

[jayne]

i shave completely sometime i let it grow a little, but never more han a week before i shave it all again, i love it being smooth, it just looks neater i think.

[Naked in SATX]

Anyone ever tried any of the hair removal creams? Are they safe? Do they work? I am afraid of razors in my genital region.

I've never tried any of them, but they might be a little harsh for sensitive areas. If you decide to try one, maybe test a small area first.

[kxix]

i shave my privates but not a smoothy... considering that smoothy would be someone who keeps all body hair off...

[cmasson]

yes i am usually shave around genitals daily like to feel clean

[yorkguy]

Yes I either shave or have a very close trim!

[nudistbob]

my wife and i both shave pubic area love it that way.I think women should
keep it shaved or trimmed looks better just me though. We have done this
for 37 yrs so you no we love it that way.

[TampaTan]

I am naturally smooth....got just a few hairs on my chest & even then they are just not prominent.

So when I started to the nude beaches 8 or so years ago, I decided to keep a mostly smooth pelvic region....by that I mean I am totally smooth except for a small 1 inch square patch on my pubic bone just above the shaft. Don't really like the totally clean version of me, so that's why I keep this style !

[earlash]

Anyone ever tried any of the hair removal creams? Are they safe? Do they work? I am afraid of razors in my genital region.

I have used nair for men in several forms. But never on the genital area, which is not recommended.

[Kawazxr]

I shave my genitals and pubing hair for some years,and it feels good,i dont
remember how it is to be hairy.

[BroNudist]

I do shave my pubic area regularly but, I dont think I consider myself a smoothie since I dont totally shave off all of my body hair...just trim it all nice & tidy.

[Josh-here]

Definitely not a smoothie here. I prefer natural. Although since participating in naturist forums I have tried a bit of trimming a time or two to see what it was like. I can't bring myself to shave it all off, I just think I would look goofy.

[paulwb2]

Anyone ever tried any of the hair removal creams? Are they safe? Do they work? I am afraid of razors in my genital region.

try a product called Magic Cream....its a powder that you mix up into a paste, its available at wally world and elsewhere, it is usually in the same area as the shaving cream....been using it in the genital area for long time....

[kxix]

i've the very same thing in my mind for guys... is it better to shave or to use hair removal creams?

[BareItNZ]

Yes, that is exactly the kind of salon that I mean. Except instead of them shaving your (to borrow a word from Homer Simpson) "goodies" they will wax them. Others on here will tell how waxing makes much sense since the results last for such a long time.
In every city here there are salons (spa), where they do waxing (brazilians, bikini), some do men too, but I never tried it yet, want to try it at least ones Irene goes every summer.
I don’t know about the states, but I guess they are there too.

[BareItNZ]

That is my stance too......it's the one hair style I do tend to change more than that on my head!
;)
Is that not what it is…
I see it too like my hair on my head, depends on my mood how it exactly will be. We naturist/nudist/clothes free, show more of out body than only the hair on our head. In the winter we take less care about the hair below, but in season when more people see it we take more care of it, trim, shave, waxing, whatever…

[Nudesuncpl]

Who shaves? From what we've seen lately at clubs, on cruises, and at our home parties, the question should be, "Who DOESN'T shave?"

[HabaneroSting]

Nope. Hairy and lovin' it...

[Croydon]

You are right, in every city, there are spas and establishments that offer waxing BUT if you are a man, it may be difficult to find one that offers the same service to men.

I am sure it isn't difficult to find a salon that offers the usual male waxing: back and chest.

The question is, will a man be able to find a salon that offers brazilian wax to men. If you do not live a in a major metropolitan city, it may be hard.

Before moving to Washington DC a year ago, I lived in NYC and there were salons that offered waxing for men and women. The same waxes they offered to women, there was a male version of it. It wasn't unusual to go to ANY salon and just ask for a brazilian wax.

Living in DC, it is quite opposite. One would have to search hard to find a place that offers that sort of waxing to men. I have found this to be same situation when I went back home to Boston. The only other city where I found no problem finding a spa that does male brazilian was San Francisco and LA.

Before moving to Washington DC a year ago, I lived in NYC and there were salons that offered waxing for men and women. The same waxes they offered to women, there was a male version of it. It wasn't unusual to go to ANY salon and just ask for a brazilian wax.

Living in DC, it is quite opposite. One would have to search hard to find a place that offers that sort of waxing to men. I have found this to be same situation when I went back home to Boston. The only other city where I found no problem finding a spa that does male brazilian was San Francisco and LA.
Croydon, I don’t live in the States, but here in New Zealand as far as I know there is only one chain of spa’s who offer it for as well women as men. And yes there are for more spas’ who offer it only for women.
Normally I shave my balls and penis and trim around it, so I would call me a smoothy. But out of interest I want to try a Brazilian waxing in this spa, just to see if I like it and who know I get hooked.

How do you use the magic cream, make a paste and wash it off. How long does it last. Are there any precautions that you should be aware of.

I'm not a total smoothie. I shave my scrotum, butt, thighs, and trim above my penis.

Head and face shaved, down south I trim with clippers.

I've always preferred the natural look. I sometimes give it a trim but I couldn't imagine myself ever trying the completely smooth look.

No, I'm what you might call a "trimmie." Got a nice little triangle.

Just follow the directions on the can, I usually dont leave on more than 15 min ... do what I did the first time I used it test it on all types of skin and make sure you "burn" yourself...have heard of some people doing so...

dragonfly has been completely smooth for years, says she likes the way it looks and feels! i agree with her!!!:laugh:
as for me, i trim it short. to take it all off would look stupid on me. i am hairy and to be bald in that area would stand out and look foolish:eek:

I created some consternation on another thread by noting the analogy between a shaved man and a rubber chicken. With apologies in advance to those who might be offended, I'll repeat the analogy here:

Pale + Floppy + Bald = Rubber Chicken

I don't wish to offend anyone, but I will say that I am unshaven and it would not look good due to amount of hair on the rest of my body. Shaving is a personal choice, but I agree with the above analogy.
