Oh vanity...

Very close trim all around, shaven ass and geesh area (not much to shave, just makin it nice like we like it :D ).

Since nobody's mentioned it yet -- maybe because it's fairly obvious -- I'll just make an addition.

I was convinced to give shearing a go by a good friend who works with me. I did it (and damn if it wasn't itchy the first time), and my girl just fell in love with my unit all over again.
But the best part is, the sensitivity factor -- at least for me -- was increased tenfold, especially on the ballsack. Absolutely incredible.
Though the process is lengthy, the added feeling is more than worth it.

Re: men shaved.........
 

I don't know what the ladies think, but I know what Chico and Ramon down at the county lock-up would think.

"Hey, man, you ain't got a hair on your ass!"

"No, man, look! He REALLY ain't got a hair on his ass."

I've done it more than a couple times. I just remember it being scratchy and itchy, but it was well recieved. Plus since I strive for feminity, I shave my legs every so often. Which is also well recieved for some reason.

it adds 2 inches to your dick

Haha I was going to say that! When you shave or trim real short, there is a lot more dick! hehe

Add-on question, since I've considered this for a little while, too. Guys, how much do you shave - and how much do you leave? Ladies? Cut hair can be a bit, um, prickly (har). Does that make going down on a guy less pleasant?

I have nothing to say on this matter...

I tried shaving down there once. The ingrown hairs were enough to convince me that I should just trim.

apply oil-based lubricant such as vaseline 12 hours after shaving for no bumpies

Yup, I'm a firm believer in shaving down there. My wife prefers it that way too. Definitely worth the effort. I usually only shave the shaft and balls, then trim the rest.

I should try shaving/trimming...

Truth be told, and I do deal with it, it's waaaaaay not cool to get the little hairs in your mouth. It's like corn-silk; sticks in your teeth something awful, and no real redeeming qualities. The hairs don't really matter for the action, but in the aftermath you realize just how much better it could be made with a little effort. Like a lot of guys were saying, it's the "making an effort" thing.

Amen Brother!

Its all about the effort....

Like they say, its the thought that counts!

My gf loves it when I shave down there. Problem for me is that is gets itchy as fuck. Anyone know any remedies for the itch?

Is that leaving Vaseline on there for an entire 12 hour period, or waiting 12 hours after shaving and then applying said lubricant?

I SHAVE MY BALLS AND THE BASE OF MY SHAFT,IT MAKES MY COCK LOOK BIGGER!!!! TRY IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!

If jordan uk is anything to go by, apparently shaving also makes you shout a lot.

I think a shaved man is sexy as hell. Even just a nice close trim works wonders too.

wait 12 (or maybe8) hours, then apply

it lubricates the hair follicles so that when your pubes start growing back, their sharp edges (thanks to the razor) wont irritate the walls of your follicles. No itching, no red bumps.

The reason not to use water-based lubes like K-Y is 'cause they wont do shit for you 4 hours later while your hair is still growing within your skin. Oil-based lubes will stay with you for hours and they leave pleasantly soft skin as long as you don't have really unlucky acne down there.

I shave my balls/shaft in the shower, no shaving cream, with a Mach III razor. Works great, and I have no itch at all. Only problem is that you have to do it about every other day or so.

My biggest problem is that I'm pretty hairy overall, so I can't really go full bald down there without also shaving the stomach, thighs, ass, etc. Too much work. I trim pubes to the same length as the hair on my belly and stuff, and that looks pretty good.

I prefer hairless, because I find its alot cleaner, both for me and my partner. I'm okay with my boyfriend keeping it trimmed too. If it was out of control with hair, i think it would be a different story. :o

I found using a hair removing cream the quickest and easiest way to control, especialy around my ass. Being hairless around the back makes your farts really 'LOUD'

YEAH, NO KIDDING!!!!!

:D

Somewhat of a side question... i trim down there but have wanted to shave to see if it is liked by the females and myself. What is the best way to shave without risking sliceing something? I have a beard and sideburns trimmer but im always afraid to get it completely on my junk. Any easier way?

This is my first post BTW so dont rip me apart quite yet!

Okay, so the vaseline trick didn't work on me. Now I'm experiencing a pain that I never thought was possible! What do I do!?!

...please make the pain stop...please make the pain stop...please make the pain stop...

Anyone? I would really like some tips.

I'm with nice guy on this...OOOOUCH...

This was the first time i trimmed, because i read this...DAMN YOU THE PAINNNN!!!

But on the up side, the sex was awsome. It felt so good, and my chick liked the slick look too. Didn't have it all trimmed most just shaved shaft and around it a bit.


But now it really hurts, the stubble grows back by the evening, its itchy.

Ped, I did mine in the shower with a new razor, very carefully.

It will be less itchy and painfull the more you do it.... mine used to be terrible when i started trimming.

if you shave, say every other day, it becomes more bearable quicker.

ok, because it is really really sucking right now.


So shave every other day as opposed every day?

Yeah everyday would be too much and would make a rash,usually, and if you do it every other day it will have a chance to grow a bit and not irritate the skin as much and ALWAYS use a sharp razor. one thats been used only a couple times can still suck.

OR just stop shaving a use a depilatory (sp?) like nair, or that new Veet stuff that I haven't tried yet.



Sorry about your pain though, try to put lotion on it, may make it feel a little better. Poor thing, I know how you feel!

Thanks

Lotion helps a bit, but not much... One of my friends suggested tight underware for a week to prevent the from the balls rubbing against the legs...
I figure I'll try it and see if it helps the pain at all...

...please make the pain stop...please make the pain stop...please make the pain stop...

I am shaved I love it. I feel cleaner and more groomed. My husband loves it as well and gives mama more attention!

i think shaved is a huge turn on

I'm a guy and I've been doing this for years; shaft and balls. It started as a sexy request from a partner way back when and I have found in the interim that women are generally very pleased with this sort of thing. They seem far more likely to spend time down there and I'm pretty sure you'll like that. You'll catch some crap from guys once in a while... locker room, jacuzzi, whatever... but the only opinion about it that matters to me is the woman I'm sleeping with and she's the one who sees it 99% of the time, so what do I care? Everyone else is entitled to their opinion and I am entitled to ignore it.

I'd never really considered the aesthetic angle re: making it look bigger. I guess I'd heard it in passing before, but it never affected why I did or did not shave. Oh, and her tongue on your smooth skin on your balls.... yow. Seriously, dude... try it.

As for the itching... yeah. We've all been there. I have to agree with everyone else that doing it regularly makes the discomfort almost completely disappear. In fact, you'll be moved to keep things clean just cuz it itches less. ;)

It's part of my showering routine and I average every other day. Sometimes I'll go a week w/o doing it, sometimes every day for a stretch... just depends. If I know I'm going to be seeing the gf... definitely... otherwise it's just whether or not I feel like it.

What you do is trim it all first. Trim pubes with electric, leave balls alone. Then come back witha shard razor, and save the pubes and shaft. When you're shaving balls remember to shave with the grain, not against it!
