Hair or no hair?

May 17 2026

I'd always assumed 2020s grooming norms were pretty straightforward: women hairless below the neck, men tidied up and increasingly going the full laser route too. Then I was asked to keep the laser away from my intimate area, which surprised me a bit.

We had a chat about this recently and I wanted to bring it here. So what are your hair preferences? For men, for women, across the board including head hair, facial hair, underarms, body, intimate area.

What I'm noticing around me is a bit of a mixed picture. More guys seem to be going the laser route, but at the same time I'm seeing more women with unshaved underarms at yoga classes, and dating profiles on RHP where women specifically say they don't like beards.

So what are people's preferences these days vs what we assume everyone wants? What do you personally like vs what you actually do when you're heading to a lifestyle event or a date because it's a "norm". What's a hard no for you? Where's the line between hygiene and personal style for you?

Women with beards would be a hard no for me.

Other than that I’m not bothered by it. I’ve enjoyed flings with women who trim a little to being totally bare. My attraction is to other qualities.

I would say the level of overall personal cleanliness is more important.

For me, I really don’t like facial hair. However, I’m ok with very short, well groomed if there is facial hair. Never a long beard, or scruffy one, that is an instant turn off. The reason, I love to see a man’s face. I want to see the jawline, the full outline of their lips, their dimples if they have them and their chin.
Hair on the head, that doesn’t matter much to me. Bald, balding, short back and sides or long. However, I don’t like scruffy messy hair. I think it looks dirty.
I definitely prefer light to minimal body hair, but it’s just a preference, so if they have a hairy chest, no probs, it’s genetics, so whatever will do.
Downstairs, I absolutely prefer hairless, or at least well groomed and kept short. I don’t love a rogue pube in my throat during a bj, so minimising that probability is certainly appreciated.

For myself, I do prefer to be hairless, just because I like it myself. Underarms are lasered also. Again, this is a preference for me, not others.

Personally, I like to be hair free from neck down to just below waist. Sometimes I will leave a small strip. I can only wax, grey hairs cannot be lasered. My preference on a lady is to leave a small strip. It comes back to personal preference. I had a partner that didn't like me hair free, she thought I might by gay. Either way keep tidy.

I don’t mind well kept facial hair on a man. Not into the full lumberjack beard though. Well manicured facial hair is good for me. I do like a well manicured lawn on men and definitely like a waxed man down stairs. Just love the look of it and hairless downstairs stairs on a man makes a better experience for me if I am going down on them. For me I am bare with regular use of wax for down below as I like that for me. It’s up to each woman for their choice on natural, landscaped or bare. Bri

I personally love a full bush on a woman, but I also love a waxed one as well. Guys need to be well trimmed and balls shaved/waxed not for aesthetics but practically.

lve never been a big fan of the bare adultlesant look . Much prefer a nicely trimmed bush or landing strip pussy. lm much the same , trimming and shaving balls.. In saying that , the majority of liaisons have been bare and have not been a game breaker..

Personally hate bodyhair...
I know it's natural but excessive body hair is a huge turn off for me.
I like my men clean shaven, not a stubble in sight, chest back waxed, minimal arm/leg hair, pubes absolutely trimmed.
Every inch of me is lasered.

I dont mind body or facial hair at all. Love a sexy hairy chest to snuggle into, while running my hands through a nice soft beard 🤤 absolutely not a deal breaker either way, cleanliness is tho!

I keep mine neat and short trimmed, I find the clean shave 😺 feels a bit too childish for me lately...

I'm not to concerned with a woman's grooming, but, I do like a woman with a bush or some public hair.
I find it feminine and very sexy.
