    Well that‘s just not true. Sure, some women like having smooth legs. But you have to ask why. Probably because society tells them that it‘s normal for women to shave their legs and if they don‘t, they are abnormal. Or why do most men shave their beard but almost none their legs if it‘s such a good feeling?

      I tell my wife she doesn’t have to but she hates how it feels. And for whatever reason she feels more confident and sexy that way. It had nothing to do with me. I’m not gonna dissect what role society has in how she landed on her preference, I’m just gonna respect her preference.

        I did not say that it had anything to do with you and if your wife likes shaving that‘s completely fine. All I‘m saying is, that women shaving their legs has originally nothing to do with how it feels. It came with the introduction of short dresses and grew into a beauty standard and societal norm.
        So yes, some women like it that way but many don‘t and yet still feel the pressure to do it.

      Truly spoken like someone who’s never jumped into bed immediately after a warm shower and a good leg shave.

      Look I don’t shave anywhere anymore because I’m fucking lazy, but that right there is top tier sensations. You should try it one day.

      The feeling of the hair brushing against/catching on fabric drives me nearly out of my skin. Hate hate hate it. That’s why I shave. I don’t feel like I have an obligation to do so because of “society”. It’s just a preference. It feels nicer and more comfortable.
