shaving below the neck for men

hey just checking averages/standards for men who are dating actively or women who date said men. how extreme do you go w/ your pits and junk, and what implements do you use. i already have scissors of course but also a clipper set with different guides and am wondering what exactly to do with them before i go out as i haven't dated in awhile. methodology and sequence tips appreciated too. also preferences from the ladies...

 

I'm not a fan of too much "manscaping." Trimming a little is good, but that's about it. Stubble is cool if it's on a guy's face, but not anywhere else.

That's just me, though. I've heard that other women think differently.

 

I'm very hairy and a little trim here and there does wonders for my confidence. I never "cleared" any areas.

 

I try to keep my underarm hair in check. I wear sleeveless shirts to the gym. My woman discourages the shaving of body parts. She does a minimum amount of her own, doesn't really need it. I tried shaving my private area and it didn't work out very well, for me or her... Apparently my hair is very thick and even directly after shaving it is pretty rough to rub against. Stubble trouble

 

Seeing as I don't need to shave anything but above my eyebrows, I'll back out of this thread.

But before I go, I hate all of you!

 

I'm largely hairless so this isn't really an issue for me. I have like... 19 chest hairs. My armpits are sparse and fluffy. My junk is bare and smooth because I am not equipped with reproductive parts.

 

You should wax. Everything. It's expected.

And post up audio of the event. It's been a slow week.

 

You guys are gonna get somebody hurt.

...

It's been my experience that women don't particularly care about what their partner has going on at crotch level but are sticklers for hair on the torso. They either love it or find it gross.

As an aside, I don't know if anybody loves shoulder hair. Pauldrons of fur aren't mainstream sexy, that's for sure. And based on various sources, neck beards really shrivel up the ladies.

 

thanks for the tips! *i think* haha... so far i'm surprisingly getting a lot of "sherwood forest" green lights, but i think i'll at least get around the edges with some scissors if not use the clippers down there. i'm still reading so keep posting if you've just come in or have anything else to add.

 

I'm Italian, so hair tends to grow everywhere. It's actually starting to sprout up on my back. No es bueno.

As for trimming, I usually leave everything alone except for my junk, which I trim up every 3-4 weeks. If it's too long it just starts to itch and become uncomfortable.

Every once in a while I'll get rid of all of it because I get sick of dealing with it, but it's never "BBS-smooth"; I think that idea is just kind of silly on a guy who otherwise looks like a gorilla.

 

When it gets grey, a little trim to make it look a little more youthful is helpful, at least in my opinion. But I don't think most women care. Smell good and all is good. You know what they say? All cats are grey in the dark.

 

I'm mild to medium hairy, and it's not really an issue. All I do is trim my crotch.

Agreed with Alistair , I think smelling good is of much bigger importance.

 

Don't.shave.anything.
You want to trim it, that's your business, but it isn't necessary for me. I like all the hair. I'm even cool with back hair, I don't give a fuck.

 

Trim because I am in the tropics and sweat a shit tonne. Trimming things keeps my shirts dry. Not interested in being hairless, I had 15 years of that.

 

In the Summer I have no hair except from my nose up (I have some hair on my arms). Well, I just trim with no plastic clipper guard on. And I don't have any nose hair either. It is too hot, and it is easier to shower and stand in front of a fan without hair getting in the way. I don't wear much in the way of clothes while at home, and don't use the AC, so it can get hot.

I hate the hair on my stomach area, elsewhere I can take it or leave it. The stomach is the one area I would want to laser off and never worry about it coming back. In the winter time it grows back.

 

The only place I can think of shaving is my face. Even that I do once or twice a week. But I trim when I feel overehelmed. Especially due to sweat. When I shower I start soap on hairy parts (also gives more foam) and pay EXTRA care. I love having them so I prefer investing.

 

I trim my beard, but also have to run a little trimmer along the ears and nostrils, because as soon as I passed thirty, the hair on my head started to recede and thin, and seemed to be fleeing largely to other, infinitely less useful places on my body, and the ears and nose were apparently close and convenient.

I am naturally a little hairy in the body, but not like some of those dudes out there who look like they got skin grafts from a mountain gorilla. I don't do much manscaping on the body, though if there starts to be too much hair on the shoulders, I trim that down a bit, because I feel like, lower back is one thing, but dude-- too much shoulder hair is just...not attractive. Fortunately, my pits don't get too wild-- I know a couple of guys who can't wear tank tops, because if they lift their arms, it looks like the crotch shot from 19th century porn photos. I do, I confess, do a little grooming on the torsal area if I know Mrs. Levite and I are going to make an evening of it: I will shampoo, condition, brush, and blow dry my chest hair, to be certain the wife has a pleasingly soft and springy tactile experience when we're getting it on.

I do sometimes do a bit of trimming around the junk, because I find it helps with diminishing crotch smell, and with easier cleanup after fun time, and ensures no stray hair interferes with handjobs or blowjobs I may receive (or any cranking one out I may engage in). I use my beard trimmer, usually on setting 3: I'm not trying to go bald down there, nor do I need my unit to look like Don Johnson's face during the Miami Vice years. Just keeping the south forty nice and even.
