View Full Version : Shaved legs and sex

I've been shaving my legs for first time this past summer, and can honestly tell you that after experiencing 6 months of the wind hitting my naked legs ( I'm normally on par with a werewolf ), I won't be going back. Luckily I didn't crash at all, though that was the original reason for me doing it.
My wife however has a different opinion. She says that she feels uncomfortable having sex with me because of the stubble. She also says that's it's something "****" ( I don't share her usage of this term ) do. That doesn't bug me. I know why I do it. She said if I was a pro and making money racing my bike it would be okay, but not until, if ever, that happens. I'm letting them grow out over the winter, but plan on shaving them next season.
Does anyone else have similair problems with your significant other? If you do, how do you deal with it? I absolutely love:D cycling, but can't stand my wife's nagging. I supppose it a yin-yang thing, in order to keep balance in my universe.

Perhaps there is a deeper communication problem in your marriage?

This should not be a major thing, either way.

But, given a choice between shaving my legs and sex, I would have no trouble making that decision!!

Aso, if it really bothered my wife, I would not shave my legs. I would respect her wishes as a portion of my love and respect for her. This is not an important enough issue on which to take a stand, IMHO.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the cycling, where shaving legs it was must, it took me few years to make my new friends on this continent to follow my steps, and now I don't do this on regular base but when we do it once a year is party time where we all get together with our spouses and joke about our experiences. I don't crash that much any more ether but shaving legs once in the spring brings back good memories.

Wait a minute.

Your wife is willing to give you sex?

I'm not sure I understand this thread..........

Yes Raptor there is someone else on the board with a similiar problem.

My better half says "No way Joosie! You're my squirrel and that isn't going to change."

She is a cyclist too. But holds to her demand. :(

Shave one leg and let the other be hairy, that way you both will be happy!

From the bottom of my very modest four years of marrige, I give this advice:

Choose your battles.
