Solution
 

There is this certain liquid called "Tend Skin Lotion". What it does it is removes ingrown hairs after about 4 or 5 uses, it really does work because I use it on my neck and face. I am not sure if it will work for this, but I dont see any reason why it shouldn't. The only thing is, it smells like vinagear, and burns like hell for the first 30 seconds. I know thats not the greatest thing to feel down there, but hey, whatever works. Here is a link of the only place I know where to get it. Good luck, and maybe ill trim mine to see how my girl likes it ;)

I shave occassionally. Any pain of shaving is offset by greatly reduced pain during jelq sessions.

I've been chaste since trying this out, and am concerned about the stubble. I can't see stubble on one of the rubby bits being a good thing during sex.

NEVER, EVER EVER put Nair on your balls. A, um, friend told me so...

*cough*

Ya I shaved a couple times and cut myself a couple times...

But all and all, nice and clean.

Important safety tip - thanks, Egon.

chemicals + balls = baked beans

general rule.. please dont hurt yourselves

goldbond is like sending your balls to an ocean resort, see breaze and all. : )

another way to avoid the red itchies is to wear loose fitting clothes. sometimes tight clothes rubbing against your skin is enough to create ingrown hairs.

#1 reason for any gender to shave: so your partner doesn't choke on your pubic hairs. (EWWWWWW)

baked beans

lol!

Anyone tried NADs? I haven't worked up the nerve to spend $30 bucks to try it. I did the Nair for men and the EpilStop options and the chemical burns were miserable. I healed up, but if your trying the chemicals use it on a SMALL area first. As for me I use the razor around the sack trim above and pluck the rest with tweezers. Takes time but well worth the effort. The wife is tolerant the lover is on fire for it!!!

hmmm shaving it all off? i wouldn't mind looking like a blessed 10 year old.
but if i shave it all completely, how far should i go. i don't really feel like shaving my legs. if i don't shave my legs i'll have a line and that would look retarded.

What's the best trimming instrument? Hair cutting scissors?

I use a Mach 3 to shave a just a pair of beard trimming shears to trim back the pubes.

I shave the sack once a week or so. I found that shaving the shaft is a bit trickier and I'm afraid to knick too much around the shaft.

I have to say that shaving the sack gets to be second nature after the first couple of times.

Mach 3 Turbo blades are superior to Mach 3 blades.
Never go against the grain down there.
Avoid tight clothing that lacks air circulation.

So far, all I've seen mentioned are benefits for women, but honestly, I think there's a benefit for men besides making it look bigger. I usually won't even go down on a guy if he's "natural." If he trims, I'll go down on him... However, if he's completely shaved, that's the most fun because I have no problem giving his balls some tongue action, too. Apparently, it feels damn good. I can't imagine too many women being hot for licking hairy smelly balls. So not only does it look hotter, but it feels better too.

You're right. I use the Turbo. Such a gimmick. Add a little extra strip of moisturizure and suddenly you're shaving turbo style and you pay twice as much for the blades. Oh well. I'm hooked.

When chicks shave we like it. I shave to repay the favor. Plus, it is a great deal more comfortable and deffinately worth the not quite so large hassle.

I hate eating hairy muff so I figured girls didn't like the afro puff when they went down on me. As soon as I started shaving my girlfriend claimed to have wet dreams about sucking me off!

I trim. Don't you think it's a bit scary fiddling with something as sharp as a razor down there?

My gf shaves and I love it. It is now time to repay the favor. Plus any increase in oral would be nice. Wish me luck. I hope there isn't much blood.

problems with shaving
 

I shave pretty regular. Balls and some hair on the shaft all get completely bald. The rest gets very trimmed, almost down to nothing. I shaved again in the shower a few days ago, but it seems now that I have what appears to be little zits from my foliculs. I can pop them and a lil white goop comes out. I believe its just ingrown hairs.

But my problem is is that this has never happened. I dont think Ive been doing anything out of the ordinary. Is there any way to prevent this from happening again?

I do not have an answer for you, sorry.
However, i do have the exact same problem, and i would really appreciate
t if someone had an answer :)

that's the reason i just trim

Ok, my mum is a beautician, and I have discussed this with her re my legs before, and a few chicks have confirmed the same..

Answer is this:

When you shave, the first few times it might be ok, but as you shave more, the hair actually becomes coarser (thicker). If you then shave close, the hair will become ingrown and can get infected (white goo) - like a zit.

Where ingrown hairs occur, you need to exfoliate the skin (read: scrape a few layers of skin off) so that the hair can grow out of the skin. This can be done with a lufra or back scrubber or something and you can actually get shower gel with little grainy bits which help too.

Moisturizing on top of all this also helps.

The other alternative is to wax it!!!

i shave my shaft,balls, inbetween my legs, and in my crack. it's a whole lot cleaner looking and since i've done it years ago, girls like it better. My gf loves it.
I use this shaving stuff called Coochie Cream my gf showed me, it's awesome.

are there any possible problems if i loofah my crotch all the damn time then, cause yeah.

I have to admit, I travel natural, and my gf threatened me that 'if I ever try cutting my hair she'll leave me'

I've got quite a lot of body hair and logic tells me that if I shave one place, more places have got to go....I'm not about to put that type of dedication or $$ (professional) to make a change. However I have thought of doing the trimming, but I've yet to get a beard and mustache trimmer, and I'm not about to use the backside of my electric razor anywhere close to myself.....

I've been doing it for so long I just use soap or conditioner because shaving cream is more expensive. Half the time I'm staring off in some other direction or thinking about something completely unrelated. I could probably do it with my eyes closed, too. It takes me all of 1-2 minutes in the shower 1 or 2 times a week. I cut myself once attempting to use a beard trimmer on a low setting. The clippery things pinched my, er, loose skin. However, I have never cut myself with a razor.

gigwatz, get a beard trimmer, use a longer hair setting and try trimming a little bit. see what happens... and if she notices and maybe likes it, try going a little shorter the next time around. you don't have to shave everything, either. to keep things "natural" looking some guys leave the happy trail and trim only what can't be seen when the pants are on.

You don't want to exfoliate too hard, either. Especially not after a recent shave because you might end up pushing the hairs further into the skin which would only worsen the situation.

Can anyone confirm that hair becomes coarser due to shaving, or is this a myth?

I don't know if I believe that the hair becomes coarser due to shaving. I've been shaving for like I dunno 7+ years (legs and bits), my hair is almost as thin and soft as it was when I started. However, I started shaving prepubescence. I think that the my hair is slightly coarser due to maturing more. It would make more sense if hair becomes coarser with age, but I have nothing to back this up.

Well, here we go. Googled for "shaving myths" Got this URL: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/healt...content13.html
Here's what a dermatologist says
<hr>
Myth: Shaving causes hair to grow back faster, darker and coarser.

Fact: It's just an illusion, according to Dr. Kitha Griffin, an Atlanta dermatologist. "New growth is often sharp-tipped and stubbly, depending on the removal technique," so it may appear bristly, she says. Hair grows independently, unaffected by anything external. Dr. Griffin adds that if this myth were true, all men would have thick dark beards.

shaving all the way is nice...trimming also helps out a lot...wife loves it

Yeah, i use an electric razor mostly, and a Mach 3 for the ares around my schlong.

I've never shaved my shit, but I do try to keep it trimmed... the problem with me is, I'm a decently hairy guy, I have it all over the place, and if I'm going to be shaved down there, I want to be shaved all over, it doesn't look natural to be hairy all around your nuts, but clean shaven there... my gf at the moment doesn't mind my pubic hair (she doesn't complain at times tho) and loves every other hair on my body, she says it makes me look sexy (Er, ok SURE ;) so I don't shave my face anymore, but that's just me :)

I did suspect such :)

motdakasha - thank you for debunking that myth..saves me some work ;)

and regarding ingrowns...

try shaving with the hairgrowth direction, and invest in a good tweezers.

Im the only one predicting pain and itching right?

you should read this thread:
"men shaved..."

But to answer your question... no. It's a little itchy at first and the only "pain" I can think of is if you slip while shaving, but that's as true of my face as it is my balls, so it's not like the end of the world. The itching doesn't really start until a day or two after the shave and, like your face, the more often you do it the more the discomfort goes down. If you skip it for a while and go back to it, it'll be itchy. Just keep at it for a week or two and you'll hardly even notice it.

i only tried this once... once.. i work concrete and all but omg.. i started to itch.. nah.. ill just be a hairy mole lol ill trim but thats it..

It's summertime, hot, sweaty balls are not happy.
Loose drawers and talcum. Just make sure you shower befor you see your girl, Cause who likes the taste of talcum?

there are many many products out there that will help you with your problem. I've been considering shaving down there again and have been trying to find out how to stop that problem from happening before it starts and before I shave it again.
