Interesting. Non of you have sex that involves touching legs I guess. I am trying to be pretty for my partner, and shaving legs is one of the easier tasks to accomplish. My hair is black, so maybe that's another reason, you'll see it without trying if I am nude.

I am single now, but I never had much even at he height of puberty. I never had hair above the knee. It Was patchy in my teens - moslty on my shins and knees. There was a small patch abor my ankle. It was also fairly fine then and now it is even finer. You can't see it or feel it since it is so sparse.

I get "your skin is so smooth" as the most common reaction, so my partners don't find it either. I am a dark skinned black woman and my hair is dark brown or something. So it is invisible since there isn't any contrast.

I end up shaving my legs every few months. My mom has no leg hair and pretty much never had it. My sister has some and needs to shave more than I do.

I shave other areas more often, but legs are unnecessary for me. I am sure the few strands left will just fall out soon enough. I also do not have arm hair. Technically there is some but it is super fine and sparse. You can't see it or feel it.

Mine is so light and fine that you really can't see it unless you're SUPER close to my legs. And while I can feel that there's hair on my legs, it's soft, not stubbly. Certainly nothing that's going to put a partner off from sex.

And to be honest, 90% of the time, guys don't care about the stuff we think they do. Plus, we have to put up with face stubble (OUCH!), so they can deal with some leg hair! LOL

Amen to this. Never met a guy who cared about hair that's almost invisible. You have to be in exactly the perfect lighting to see it anyway. Husband always compliments my non-stubble legs, so he's good with it. I hate shaving. Got lasered a few years ago, so few dark ones are gone. I live in shorts all year 'round and just don't care about this stuff anymore. No one else seems to either.....blonds can have a lot of body hair but it's usually fine and not obvious. I'm so full of scars and sun-damage, some body hair is way down my list.....

haha-sure...but what's the dividing line? So...everyone poops...that doesn't mean I'll do it every morning with the door open while he's lying in bed.

And yeah, I don't shave every day like when I was 15! But I certainly DO shave a couple times a week in the summer and maybe every week or so in the winter. I'd love to be a blonde with sparse hair, but I'm not...and part of my frequency is that I love the feeling of sheets on my smooth legs...mmmmmmm... so yup, I definitely take care of business as needed.

So yes, I shave.
I tried to rep yoi for giving me the best instant laugh out loud I've had in a long time!! Hilarious!

Living in Florida, I definitely shave more often than when we lived in the north. Since we've had some cold spells, I've been wearing jeans so no shaving. LOL

When the weather warms and it's nice enough for shorts, I shave. It should be nice enough for shorts tomorrow

Yeah my wife lets it go longer in winter. It's not an issue. Aside from that initial stubble.
