For this couple the male  showers brushes his teeth and gives himself a trim -so about 5mins preparation but the female thats a different story she goes shopping for new lingerie new clothes(dont know why as they are taken off immediately upon arrival) gets her nails done ensures she has waxed and then does her hair-so about 5hours preparation lol

Sounds about what we expected to hear!

Just like a normal outing, guy = 5mins, girl = many more minutes/hours etc!

Going to a party on the 30th April as a wedding anniversary outing!

First time too, Mrs has already bought shoes, lingerie and the Mr has bought some racy boxers.

Just wanting to know with the male, is it preferred by many (women) that the less hair "down there" the better?

I suppose everyone has there own tastes when it comes to down there. Wots important is wot u feel comfortable with whether its the trimmed look or the au natural look.  We both prefer the trimmed look or the waxed look. Hope you guys enjoy yourselves at your outing. We are heading to Debauchery on Sat night and cant wait :)
