I have a tidy up so to speak.\nThis is personal preference, some people like to leave it totally natural, while others go the full hog and bald as a babys bum !!!  Some people trim and style it like an upside down triangle and hearts(even colour it).\nThere is a few ways off removing the hair, the easiest is waxing but not to every bodys taste.  Another favourite is shaving - be sure not to go over the same area to often as this will irritate the skin.  Trim the hair down to a short length before shaving with a pair of scissors, then have a warm bath, this will make the hairs softer.  Try and use a fragrant free female shaving foam, never dry shave. Use a new ravor every time, this will prevent infection. Hold the skin taught and go once in the direction the hair goes and then once in the opposite direction.  Rinse well when complete.  You may finish off with a very fine dusting of baby powder for a smooth finish. You may notice that the more you carry on shaving the less irritation you will have and less ingrowing hairs, and the itching will ease but unfortunately will never truley go away.\nTo make it fun or even part of foreplay, you could always get your partner to carefully do it for you, and this way there won't be any missed bits.

No matter what you do, shaving will only be good for about 12hours, then you will have about a week of itchy, spikey hair.  The best is to have the area waxed, otherwise just trim closely with scissors.\n\nRemember to exfoliate really really well to prevent ingrown hairs.

I don't know about whether such a procedure exists, but what the others have said is correct.\n\nA lot of men and women think it's extra sexy if you don't have much pubic hair.  Lucky you that you seem to have been born with this trait.  Think of your lack of hair as a blessing, not a shortcoming.\n\nWomen who have hair down there endure a lot of pain to get rid of their hair with things like Brazilian waxing and laser treatments.  And usually this is expensive also, as in "I can't believe I'm actually paying someone to put me in this much pain!"  Less expensive treatments like shaving have to be kept up, and sometimes they itch, and sometimes your vagina feels like sandpaper when the hair starts growing in.

Switch to aveno brand soaps,and you need a better moisturizer,i will suggest eucerin it is thick and works great. I am sure you are just having a dry skin episode.You also should increase your water intake which will help your skin regain itys moisture. I would nt relate your itchiness after masturbation to having a dry skin problem. Probably your body is just more relaxed which allows you to feel that your itching more then before you masturbated.

Well there are a few differnt reasons it can happen. Infection of the hair folicles, Irritation , and ingrown hairs.\n\nThe best way to shave is to shave with a new or sharp razor and shaving cream for sensative skin, shave in one direction to limit the irritation, and do not apply alot of pressure. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin, and possibly clog your pores. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nAnd yes it will itch but the Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

Sensitive skin shaving lotion and make sure you shave with the grain, never against. In other words, always handle down.

Sounds like you're simply chafing a bit.  Try chapstick before and after (during might be a little awkward and unromantic), and make sure he's freshly shaved.*\n\n\n\n*Make sure you're freshly shaved too.  Guys really, really, like that.

Sorry can't tell you what it's from, could just be dry skin. Try a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil. It really helps get rid of the itch.

Do NOT use Nair or any similar product! It is way too harsh for that area. \n\nI suggest shaving after having a hot shower or bath. Make sure you shave with a new razor, lots of foam and in the direction the hair grows. \n\nIf you want a more long lasting effect, go to a salon that does exotic waxing.

Try getting a anti-fog mirror for the shower and shaving after the steam has softened your skin.  Also, don't run the razor too many times in the opposite direction of your hair growth.  This is what irritates the skin the most.

Well, with all girls, it is pretty hairy down there. Personally, I think it's gross. Depending on the way you are most comfortable with, try trimming it. It might make you feel like you have less. Or you can shave it all off. Just be careful. Some get waxes but I cant imagine the pain and the cost. I think your best bet would to just trim it first and see how you like it there.

Waxing will prevent this. What you see is the root you can't get when shaving.

Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin in the shower.  Make sure you shave in the direction of hair growth.  If you want a closer shave you can then shave against the hair growth but it might cause irritation.

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to shave all the time, & she would rub on some stuff after shaving.  It was either called Bikini Bare or Bikini Zone.  She was able to get it over the counter at Wal-Mart, I believe.  Anyway, that may help.

Not much you can do but learn from your mistake and NEVER shave there again. Zits and bumps and rashes are about as unsexy as it gets, which is why shaving here has gone out of fashion. Keep the hair clean, but keep it!
