I have lasered skin, and no hair at all down there, so this leaves my skin very unprotected and sensitive. If someone shaves recently or has a very soft beard, i don't usually have any issues. BUT it also depends on how rough they are with their face (i.e. are they sticking their tongue out and licking, or are they scraping their stubble against your labia and clitoris while shoving their tongue inside you). I've had some guys show up with such sharp stubble that DATY was excruciating for me because they were scratching my vag so hard, and other guys with stubble that were conscious of it and made sure to keep their face off of it, and use their tongue only. Depends on the lady's skin sensitivity, the sharpness of your stubble or beard, and your technique. Just something to keep in mind. I really do love daty, but it's to the point that I can't stand anyone scratching me like crazy and being rough because it turns my clit numb, and then it's no fun anymore and that's kinda the whole point of sex. Being conscious of how your provider feels is really important and will definitely increase your mileage and rapport as well. Someone who hurts me? Well they go on the do not book again list.
