Do you shave your pubes? If so, why?

Mackman

Every now and then i give it a shave, or use Veet. i like the feel of no hair down there, the OH likes it too. But its too much work to do it all the time, so trimmed it is most of the time.

I would imagine that all the rationals wimmins use for shaving their armpits could be applied to men grooming their pubic region: appearance, hygene, attractivness, peer pressure even?

We now live in a world where the Visual is all and have been fed a diet of porn images where inevitably pubes of both sexes are trimmed so that now it's become the norm and so we copy and emulate.

Also curious as to how many guys have just done it out of boredom. :P

Boredom - along with stupid hormonal urges - have given rise to most mens urges and their inevitable satisfaction.

Same here. I've shaved it in the past and occasionally do it, but it's just too hard to maintain it regularly. And if you leave it too long without shaving, can itch like crazy. So I usually just trim, then occasionally I'll shave the shaft and sack for a while

I do pretty much the same thing. I shaved it all once but it was just too stubbly afterwards, so I just trim the pubes now. But I do shave the shaft, sack and underneath the shack. I just prefer it that way. I feel cleaner when I follow this routine too.

The totally bare look seems weird and too much hassle, but keeping everything tidy seems like a win/win situation for me and any unlucky lady that gets to see my trimmed lawn A hairy shaft is not an attractive proposition to munch on I imagine.

Im happy to see the responses that majority of blokes do this for themselves. I was reading a thread once before and a guy said...because his misses obivously shaves "for him" that it would consider it. However, like most blokes pointed out, majority of women shave for themselves, hygine reasons.

Ive had hair below prob once in my life...once I started shaving underarms...just decided to shave everywhere else too. Just get in that habit everyday in the shower...takes 15 mins to have shower. Might be long for some people, but definitely feel fresher each time. Didnt know it was a "fashion" statement or common thing to do till more recently.

If it gets too wild down there it can lead to a lot of discomfort for me so yeah, I do shave. I don't shave sensitive areas though for obvious reasons. :pac:

It is not really that risky though. Once you are using a Mac 3 or something similar and do it in or just after a shower, no harm will come to your crown jewels

Tried with a hair trimmer before, I cut myself, blood and all. I was ****ting. :pac:

Yikes! I'd definitely avoid trimmers from now on! I've never had any problems with a normal razor and then a scissors to trim whats left.

Since I am getting it all out there (so to speak ) a dash of conditioner down there does wonders too. Especially if you're fed up of dull lifeless pubes

hygiene sounds like a bs reason to me. Your nads are suppose to be hairy to regulate the temp for sperm production.↲as for girls in my experience is that when completely clear they tend to not stay as wet.

Not true in the slightest.

i agree...if anything, i think if i had hair it would totally solve that problem...and it is a problem being bald and being extremely wet all the time

LOLZ, how hairy are your balls if you think its enough to regulate temp? they are outside your body to keep them cooler, the hair does nowt for this.

i never did anything til recently, tried trimming....liked it. looks a bit less messy

Mooo

shouldnt the question be why not?

Nothing wrong with a bit of Manscaping.I use Veet about once a month.Its definitely more hygienic.Especially round the back.I do crack,sac and shaft.I also trim the afro right down to a lawn.She loves it and like someone said...she doesnt have to keep stopping to remove hair from her teeth....I used to hate when that happened.
Top tip ....I always apply a dab of vaseline to the oul knob after a shower.Keeps it real fresh for the day.:cool:

So....My first ever post is about my willy .....

i shave it pretty much all off

i just don't like having hair in general, on my head, face, anywhere....feel so much cleaner and tidier without it

still don't shave my legs or armpits though....now that would be gay

Eh, talk about double standards :pac:. So it's ok to shave your pubes but not ok to shave your armpits or legs??? How does that one work?

Partners ??? - one partner at a time I assume (or is that for another thread ???) .

Actually I have 2 and live with them and they do shave. But they have never asked me to. I see no reason not to if they asked, but they never have.

Maybe girls are not as interested in having their guys do it as much as us guys are interested in them doing it

Do you shave your legs?

I doubt many women would be attracted to man that does that..an armpits, ehhhh why??

Trim for practical reasons. I don't see how hygiene comes into it. I find a shower every day keeps everything hygienic.

All this talk of Mach 3 has me squirming - just the thought of a naked blade

it's actually not as bad as you might think.

I have 2 simple rules i use myself; 1) don't use the electric trimmer below the lad, 2) and don't use the blade above the lad. The trimmer doesn't play nice with loose skin, and we all know what a blade is like on coarse hair! Thought about using veet before, but i think i prefer blade in my own hand than a bunch of chemicals tearing away at me nuts! :eek:

The hygiene reason is total BS, there is no difference if you wash daily. Personally i do it for myself, for the look & the feel, trim above & shave below, but the missus always loves it.

I heard guys do it cause they think it makes there "part" seem bigger?

Also personally Id go with shaven or at least trimmed but it wouldn't put me off if a guy didn't do either. Just easier to get around with the less hair down there.

hah! i guess it would depend on how insecure the guy is! I don't necessarily trim above all the time, but shaving below, well, you just have to experience it

I don't get why you're asking me?? I wasn't attacking you in my original post Just pointing out it's a bit of a double standard..

I don't shave my legs no but lots of swimmers, runners and cyclists do and I don't think women are turned off them by that. Shaving your armpits makes you sweat far less apparently, I know a few lads who swear by it. In Spain tonnes of lads shave them suring the summer to cut down on patches.

shave, no. Off topic i know, but i find cutting the hair back helps the antiperspirant work better. Maybe that's just me though.

Im not sure what you mean by experiencing it? You mean I should be with a guy who does that, or do that on myself?
And what do you mean by shaving down below? Bald down there but still keep your treasure trial? which are very hot when kept neat.
