No Shaving = No Kissing?

main.jpgOne of the things I hate most about being a girl is shaving. Guys have to shave their faces, yes, but they can also have beards, and there’s nothing wrong with a little stubble. Oh wait, there is? Gillette’s new ad campaign says, “no Fusion, no kiss.” Apparently, girls do not want to kiss men who have any stubble at all. So men need to shave it all off with Gillette’s new Fusion razor. I totally disagree.

Stubble can be sexy, right girls? I’m not really big on beards (though some girls are), but to me, there’s nothing at all wrong with a little five o’clock shadow.

Gillette’s new ad campaign is probably one of the worst campaigns I’ve seen in a long time, due to content and message. The interactive video basically tells guys to shave or all they’ll get from girls are handshakes. If you tell the video you don’t shave, a super annoying man describes way too many types of handshakes to you. If you tell the video you shave, they proceed to give you kissing lessons. The kissing lessons consist of women who are half dressed with their boobs hanging out, talking about kissing.

Right.

Of course there’s a time and a place to be clean shaven, but you don’t have to shave it all off to get a kiss from me. And guys who shave their chest and other body parts? Ugh, no thank you. I don’t want a man who feels like a girl. I’m certainly not saying back hair is sexy, but have hair where you’re supposed to.

Boys, don’t let Gillette tell you we’re not going to kiss you if you don’t shave for a couple days. Oh, but if you need Gillette’s kissing lessons, you probably won’t be getting kissed any time soon.

    Some stubble is all right, though it depends on how coarse/fine the gents hair is. I've had cases where it has rubbed against my skin and been annoying, then again I used to be a girl who loved clean-shaven men…now I don't mind a bit of hair at all.

    I love my boyfriend's stubble. In fact, I complain when he shaves. It's sexy, and I really don't mind kissing him with it. mmmm.

    I definetely have a thing for guys who have some stubble. I agree, I don't really like this ad campaign.

    Okay, switch that around for a minute. Let's imagine a commercial in which a guy and a girl are getting after it, and he starts taking her knickers off with his teeth– then makes a face and announces, "No Venus, no 'lingus."

    I, frankly, would be pissed as hell. And I do tend to keep myself shaved down there.

    So yeah, I'd have to disagree with the Fusion folks. I mean, when I'm kissing my man, I'm typically after his mouth, not his chin.

    I'm with everyone else on this one. I don't mind some stubble and whatnot. Doesn't bother me.

    And Elise, I snorted at your scenario with Venus. If I saw that commercial I think I would die laughing first. And then I would be angry.

    It's not so much kissing that's the problem. It's cuddling when his cheeks have that sharp stubble and after a while it starts to rub you raw. But facial hair is fine. My boyfriend is rocking the chin puffy, and i like to play with it. I do have to say I HATE mustaches, though. I just hate them.

    As a guy I've found that for whatever reason when I was sporting stubble I've had more impromptu trysts than when clean shaven. Stubble or no has never been an issue regarding kissing.

    However… being clean shaven, without stubble, has been a MUST for, as Elise put it, " 'lingus". The overriding sentiment being, "I will NOT deal with any whisker burn! Go shave first!"

    So, it depends on your objectives. I keep clean shaven every day.

    The right amount of stubble can definitely be sexy that's for sure, it's definitely a turn on for me :) But yeah too much and it's like "Ouch! Get that sandpaper away from me!"
