So anyone who has read my blog (which will probably be no-one) will know that I have recently shaved my head. I figured it was something I should try at least once. Before I did it I already had in my mind head shaving as part of a scene, I guess the act can touch on various aspects of power exchange, humiliation (especially for women), objectification etc... I was told by a friend afterwards that I should of gotten it shaved as part of a scene, made a post on IC, see if I got any takers :P. I'll admit since having my head shaved I feel like I look more like a submissive in a subtle way. So I guess my question, aimed at couples in D/s relationships. If you partake in head shaving of your sub, what does it mean to you? Does it reenforce the TPE in the relationship? How do the subs feel about it?

I keep my head shaved (No.1). My crown has thinned to the point that it's no use trying to disguise it (that will be the excess of testosterone that causes male pattern baldness). Thus, adopting the adage "if you can't hide it, make it a feature", it stays closely cropped/shaved. Previous partners have generally liked the look, comparing it favourably to Bruce Willis (probably should have gone to spec savers). There is something very subservient about a female having her head shaved, but it would take a brave woman to allow that to be done I suspect |

I actually don't know what I would do if he wanted me to shave my head. Our hair is so connected to who we are, to our feminity imo. Last year a medical condition caused my hair to thin temporarily and I was devastated. I know its "only hair" but I would hate to loose it. A friend of mine is going through chemo at the moment and that is one of the things that really upsets her....for the rest of us we are more concerned aout her health.
I think its probably a good thing that he likes my hair long |

I love when my Dom clips my hair esp if it is part of a scene. It can enforce the submissive nature. I have at times had my whole body shaved so am super smooth. It is the grooming aspect, esp when/if linked to puppy play. The best part is off course the rubz that you get and the feeling of very closely cropped hair. Next step may be actualy doing a Kojack ! I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. |

I am not sure it does anything for the T/PE thing for me. You see, I'd love to shave a woman's long hair - but would not like it to stay that way. so would never do it to a partner.
It is one of my hottest fantasies though. My goal - to save women from nature (Dior) |

I dont have much hair and keep it quite short as it is but I have been toying with the idea of letting it grow to the point I usually shave it (usually go as short as "2") and letting my Mistress shave a word into it for the session or if we are out for the night. Then after shaving it all over when going back to real life after. |

i like the feeling of being shaved by another person as it really does make me feel more sub,it is after all something once done you can't hide.as it is now i don't really have a choice due to mpb but even so the difference between even a number 2 with the clippers or a completely smooth headshave is so much more humiliating for me,feeling the razor taking away those last few milimetres is a truly humbling feeling for me and leaves me completely sub to the shavee. in search of all life has to offer |

Also I am just lazy, I find it hard enough doing my chin every day or two nevermind doing my head as well. Plus my partner thinks I look like a thug when it is too short. |

God, I wish. I wouldn't mind having my head shaved, although it might be hard to explain at work. Currently growing my hair at his insistence, so he has more to pull at (In fairness, I do love headaches caused by excessively brutal hair-pulling,) and slightly pissed off about it as I like my hair pretty short. I hope he doesn't want it longer than a chin-length bob, but it isn't my decision, obviously. |

Not done any head shaving, but find body shaving (I am talking on a man - preferable hairy all over) can be a very erotic scene, and well as making him feel very subservient. Shaving his crack and sack, legs raised in air so everything is fully exposed is a splendidly humiliating position for him to be in. Plus he has the delight of itchiness all over his body as the hair grows back as a delicious reminder of the scene. |

If Master were to shave my head (which I don't think he would because he's encouraging me to grow it) but IF he did, I would find it very humbling in a nice way because of how he'd have the power to take something like that away from me and I would give him that pleasure if that's what would please him.
As for the implications of how it would affect me on a day to day basis, well, I'd wear a wig...I've nothing to complain about because I find wigs far easier to style than real hair...no straighteners required! sweet lol ETA: I've just been thinking more about this and on a humiliation level, I'm wondering if it would feel like being a sheep being sheered (sheering>>>animal>>>dirty>>>less than human>>>issues of dignity train of thought) It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice Edited 24 Jul 10, 8:59 PM by totallycoverme |
