It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It’s weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it’s just a personal preference women have
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.
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.
I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.
Used to like to trim a lot more places when I was younger. Stubble can be annoying, but damnit did I learn it wasn’t worth the hassle of trimming your perenium. Fucking sharp ass hairs stabbing you all day.
As a woman I have really sparse leg hair, so I don’t usually bother shaving. I don’t get any uncomfortable stubble though. At least not on my legs. Estrogen changes hair and tends to make it softer, which probably explains the difference.
I’m a guy and my leg hair drives me crazy sometimes. I sometimes get fixated on the feeling of the blanket rubbing on it and it drives me crazy. It also gets randomly sensitive to pull on or touch, I dunno if that happens to anyone else. And when it’s dry it makes my legs itch
I don’t find it nearly as bad as facial hair stubble (based on experiences with partners). You are right though in that the niceness of shaved legs disappears pretty quickly. I tend to only indulge when I change my bedsheets because shaved legs against fresh sheets is amazing
I can’t wear body warmers continuously for a long time due to static electricity with hair.
So if I could make the body hair just stop coming out once and for all, I would. Except that none of the available solutions are really permanent, except for, maybe burning the skin off, which would create other major inconveniences.

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.
My skin just gets irritated so I‘d rather not.

Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.
Does feel nice when smooth though.

Laser hair removal is not expensive and lasts for years. But only works if your body hair is dark and your skin is light colored
