Is it ok to shave your pubic hair if you are a christian?

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you felt you needed to ask that. rofl. Do you seriously think you need permission to tidy your lady(or man) garden?\n\nI should think it's alright. Unless the 11th commandment is 'Though shall not shave thy pubes' or it condemns the removal of pubic hair somehwere in the bible .....

If your Pentecostal , i understand the point your trying to make. However, like u said, u have to use the whole Bible and that means making sure your following the principles of the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.\n\nA good example is given at Galations 5; 2 and 3 where Paul states that a man who is trying to follow the Mosaic law is not benefitting from Christ's sacrifice but is subjecting himself to the whole Law. Christians are free from that, but are to hold the principles of Loving God with our whole heart and loving our neighbor as ourself. If everybody did these 2 things , they would be obeying the Bible to the letter.\n\nAs for hair, we're encouraged to follow local custom.  Men in those days all wore beards too, but that's not as common in our society, but nobody makes a big deal if we're clean shaven.\nThe Bible is reasonable, we just have to make sure we are too.

Being circumcised means removeal of the forskin. It is usually done at birth. In the Bible it was a form of Covenant between God and His children. It most likely has it's good reasons as well as bad ones. Easier to keep clean, but maybe less sensitive because the forskin is a protective covering. With the forskin you must be sure not to leave any soap or you may be one unhappy camper if you scratch the blood out of yourself in your sleep. I think in this day and time it is a matter of preference. If you are 19 and have had no problem, my advice would be, If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Since I am a female this may be considered wrong advice but I am a Mom and I am answering you just as if you were my own son asking me. Did your Mom not talk to you about this when you asked questions or your Dad? Maybe they were embarrased, but they should have told you or at least let your family doctor explain about it. By the way I have a son, he is circumcised just like his dad was.Oh yes, Christ was circumcised just as all Jewish males were. And I have heard(though I can't speak from first hand knowledge) it is painful for a baby boy and more so for an adult. Best to ask a doctor on that. It seems I read somewhere that keeping the foreskin makes a man more likely to get cancer, but I might be wrong on that point...again talk to a doctor. I hope you and others will find my advice sound and full of good judgement.

First of all it's Biblical, it says in the Bible that it should be done.  I think Abraham did it when he was way old as an act to be closer to God.  I dunno somebody correct me if I'm wrong.  And second, men with foreskins get infections.  Not only will he have them but he could very well pass them to his partners.  It's damp and dark under there that's practically screaming bacteria.  My son .. will be circumcised.

No, there is no Biblical instruction for a woman to keep their public hair shaved... this is a social standard.  In some countries (such as Europe as of a few years ago), some woman do not shave their public hair. Shaving for a woman is considered cleaner and more feminine.

yes, because if thats what you want to do, then go for it. If you ever read straight through the bible, every damn thing is a sin even going to the bathroom is plus its no one elses place but gods to judge you

It's really up to you and what you prefer. It's not unsafe or bad to have the hair removed as long as you do it the right way. Make sure you go to a reputable salon that sterilizes their tools. And afterward, make sure to clean the waxed area (or shaved, or whatever) so that it does not get infected. Removing hair form any area, especially the pubic area, can make skin more prone to infection. I would not reccomend shaving the area or tying to do at-home treatments yourself.

Both shaving and waxing (as well as laser hair removal) are viable options for your pubic hair. Waxing does not hurt that bad at all, and lasts for about 3-4 weeks, shaving can itch, but if you wait towards the end of your shower or bath, use a new razor, lots of shaving gel, and put on un-fragranced lotion afterwards, it usually is just fine.  DO NOT USE depilitory creams or gels (such as nair) for you pubic hair - you could cause skin burns, and even permanent damage, which would be far more painful than waxing EVER would be.\n\nGood luck,\n\nEssin' Em, www.hotmoviesforher.com

Only if its her husband's beard...\n\nNazareth 34:67 states, "Christian women may shave the beard of her husband only."\n\nHope this helps

I have often wondered this, too. I found a pretty good article on the subject, if you would click on the link below. It doesn't really promote it, but it doesn't condemn it either. It, basically, lets you take a look at the reasons in your heart for doing it, and where you stand with God. \n\nThe Bible warns us against getting wrapped up in our looks, but it also says that we should try to make ourselves look good for our husbands (different words of course).\n\nIn response to Catlins Playhouse's remark, sin is sin. I say that because of her comment "do you think God is going to be mad at you when all these other people..." God will judge us based on His laws and the convictions He places in our hearts. If you go to have cosmetic surgery and you feel the Holy Spirit urging you not to, but you do it anyway, you will be judged on that. \n\nI'm not telling you not to do it. I think you should pray about it. God will let you know.

Actually, pubic hair is there to protect the body from infections. its kinda like a second skin or shield from the outside. some people do shave their pubic hair but some say its dangerous because they lose their 2nd coat of protection. but its whatever :P

In Islam circumcision is not mandatory.\n\nBut because Islam says that one must not have even a drop of urine on a person (outside the organs of course) when praying five times a day, then it would be hard for those uncircumcised people as they need to clean their "thing" every prayer time.\n\nSo it is not mandatory, but highly highly highly highly highly recommended.

Removal of pubic hair is a cultural thing. It's fairly common in western cultures, but not in Asian cultures.

Its nice to be closely shaved, some guys shave it all.  Its a personal preference.
