I don't understand why anyone would like that so much. I mean I can understand being neutral about it, but I'm thinking like for sex why would that be interesting or desired over shaved?

As a father with a daughter, a completely shaved mons on an adult woman reminds me of changing diapers.

shaved or unshaved is ok as it comes through the door.

Myself, when I do find a regular model to work with, I request that she not shave her pubic hair for a certain duration of time.

This model was one for an example. I asked her about a year ago, to forgo shaving.

I shoot them as I find them, but I generally prefer a natural (or neatly groomed) bush for art nudes:   [All photos 18+]

For bodyscapes and glamour, bare is more appropriate:

Hard to find unshaven photographic models these days, although models for life drawing usually have a bush.

Beautifully natural and taken care of down there!

And one of my "go to" girls and fine-art muse Kat Love. She is truly an artist/model and natural as well as a real inspiration to the genre.

Thanks Art!  Already had Zin Star on the list.  I added Kat Love.  You may not remember, but I met you at Jody's one day last year when we picked her up to shoot for the day.  I was with 2 other photographers... Robert Neil & Jaime Vega.

I much prefer women to have public hair for what I shoot. And I will even go as far as saying that in some shots, the models NOT having pubic hair takes away from (ruins) the shot.

The problem is that when some models that shave, it leaves razor burn, stubble, or they don't shave regularly and you get a few days' growth....all things that can be very distracting and off-putting in an artistic image, IMO. These are all reasons I prefer women not to shave (trimming is fine, of course).

Now I'm not opposed to models shaving completely--some do a good job and leave things very smooth. But that doesn't necessarily mean I want to shoot that area and show everything. It doesn't always make for a good photo. If a model has hair, it looks more natural, to me, regardless of how that area is displayed in a shot.

As an example: (18+)

I asked for all 3 models to not shave, but only one of them preferred not to shave, so I had to work around that with the other 2 models, and in some cases, ended up with shots that were unusable because one model had hair and the others didn't. Some might say I should've gotten 3 models that all shaved, but as I described earlier, I don't necessarily prefer that look for artistic images and like to leave a *little* to the imagination and not just throw it out there for all to see.

Does she have an MM profile? I remember frequenting her OMP page and not sure if she even models anymore. She's one of the, maybe, 2 or 3 models I would actually pay to shoot with.

I am a Photogrpaher who loves to try and duplicate the Classic Figure Art Nudes!  That being said, I am a real fan of models that do not completely shave and actually have Pubic Hair.

The following is an image from a shoot a couple of months ago out at a group of Abandoned Houses in the Riverside, CA area:

So what do you think about Pubic Hair?  Do you prefer it or not?

Post an image of yours where the model proudly has Pubic Hair!  Be sure to only like to image(s) and mark as 18+ to keep the MM Moderators happy!

Ha! I'm on a list.

It's more practical as an art model.

Today, for example, I was posing in contorted, open-leg poses for an artist for 3 hours.

Having a bush covers your bits, and gives a natural "shadow" when genitals are not supposed to be the focus.

I think I gave a poor old woman a minor stroke in Kansas when I showed up to a class shaved and posed like I usually do. lol

I can use either but one of the best Models I have ever worked with is Kari Marie out of Denver.  A true natural woman and a fantastic model and individual to work with.  I highly recommend using her if you are in need of the natural look.  Some of the smoothest skin I have ever seen.
