Guys who shave... down there

Indie Indie Indie! Have you never had a pubic hair lodged like right in the back of your throat, almost in your windpipe?

Yes, I have. Yes, it's annoying. But I just hack it up, laugh about it, and continue with what I was doing. I don't see it as this big supporting reason for pube-scaping, to the degree that so many people have commented on it. I don't dislike bare, shaven pubes, but I prefer some bush.
 
Holy fuck, cbt stands for cock and ball torture :eek:..

My innocence is ruined.. :p

oh jeebus. I am going to have to work so hard to keep a straight face at work now. I occasionally have to deal with conversations on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

:eek:

This part of the thread is making me giggle...

My partner does prefer to shave, but it doesn't prevent the hair-in-the-back-of-the-throat 'gack' feeling when he's a fuzzy guy in general. It also doesn't prevent him from the "OW!" moment when my very-closely-spaced teeth pull one out on their own accord.

In other words, shaving does not guarantee safety. :)
 
Really, I never understood what the big deal is over pulling out a hair and moving on. No, it's not pleasant, but it's just a part of what is happening. Centuries of people got hairs in their mouths during sex, why are people so delicate nowadays? LOL. I'd rather deal with a hair every now and then, than give up the fragrance of sex that pubic hair holds.

YES!!! I love pubic hair on guys.
I also started to have my own grow back a bit. Not to a full bush, but definitely not completely bare.

The shaving, it's such a HASSLE. And then the ingrown hairs, and keeping up, and the red spots, and itching etc. I have a very sensitive skin and never managed to get it smooth without red spots and ingrown hairs.

So far, no complaints from anyone. I only wish my guys would do the same :)
 
This thread just made me milk-thru-nose it.

I knew a girl once, she used to have a hay-day down there. It seemed every date was a new color and design down there. Ok, seriously? Who dyes their pubes?! And the designs? Yeah, time consumer.
 
Nair the crotch and between the cheeks in the summer time (we run around naked a lot when it's too damn hot out). Wife shaves my back whenever it starts to annoy her. My last girlfriend offered to have her sister wax me (and I'm sure the offer is still on the table), but it never really appealed to me.
 
The wife told me if I wasn't a raging forest she would go down more often. So I started mowing the lawn. It was actually more like scorched earth. But in 2 days it itched like chicken pox with shingles. So I let it grow back. But then I started "trimming". Not bald, but short and soft. Now there isn't a forest, more like a putting green. The lady loves it and no more incesent itching.
 
Are there any men here who shave their pubic area and/or chest on a regular basis? Just wondering why you do it, and if you do it yourself or go somewhere to have it done. My new lover is completely shaven (chest, groin, balls, everything) and this is the first time I've ever been with a man who does that. A friend of mine wondered if he likes to wear leather underwear and maybe being shaved feels better for that - hahaha! I'm going to ask him his motivation next time we're together, but I'm interested in other perspectives from the guys out there. Thanks!

I'm glad I found this! I'm 34 and I have shaved "down there" for 15 years now. I've always hated having hair there. Last year, I asked my wife about what she'd think if I shaved from the neck down. She was indifferent about it but stated she helped her ex shave so I took the plunge. I've been cleanly shaven from the neck down for over a year now (except the arms...she won't let me do them and I wouldn't want people at work to know I shave anyway). I got past the ingrown hairs and rarely get them now because I've been doing this so long. I absolutely cannot stand body hair and think it's gross and disgusting, especially a full bush! I just don't subscribe to the social norm that men shouldn't shave body hair. I also don't think they should be chastised if they do shave/groom. Anyway she likes it, especially my back cleanly shaven and now she's so used to it that if I go a week or more without shaving I get comments about it. I love nothing more than her hands and fingers on my back during sex, especially with finger nails! I also tan too. I guess you could call me a metrosexual but I don't do nails and stuff LOL. I just don't want to be pale and hairy. I've spent all my life not really caring about how I look or being able to afford to do much about it and now I do.

The biggest problem that I run into sometimes are the red bumps that come up, particularly around the bikini line area, bum, and armpits. My solution is this. I have a small travel bottle that I use but I altered the recipe a bit to: 10 aspirins ground up with a mortar and pestle, 5 drops of glycerin, and enough water to fill the container (about a 1/4 cup maybe). I keep the bottle in the shower and after I'm done shaving, I shake vigorously and apply to my pubic area, bum, and pits like a tonic. I get very few red bumps afterward. A good, clean, sharp, 3 blade razor is perfect for this too.

As for shaving my "coinpurse" I found it best to shave it when it's a little cold...when it's all drawn up. If the nuts hang low I can't do it. A dip in a cup of cold water helps.

Last, I love a good shaved vaj, even it's still a little prickly. In fact, prickly is like sweet agony to me and it gets me off every time!

This! I like my guys to at least...tidy up...Im actually a fan of it being all gone, but I wouldnt do it either so im not goingto ask them too.
 
Shaved long time now!

I have been shaved for about 15 years now. It started simply because my wife wanted it that way and I figured I might get more oral sex because of it. But I found I like it smooth down there. Shaving is not that difficult, even in the ball area. A good safety razor makes all the difference. But I can't shave more than about once a week or it iritates the skin.

and hopefully you got more bjs....
 
Hard to say really. Would I have received fewer if I hadn't? Does any guy ever get enough? But guys should be fair. If you expect the ladies to be shaved, then they should be too. I think in the many years I have been doing it, I have only cut myself twice. Not really any worse than cutting your face.
 
Some lady's do not like the hair,they do not want to feel like a beaver.

Good point. And I must admit, I find a shaved pussy to be much more visually appealing than a hairy one. Everyone should be happy with it. I keep shaved regularly and my wife usually doesn't like to shave. So, we are probably opposite from most. But if it works, do it.

For centuries, the sight of a bush was a big turn-on. It wasn't until internet porn popularized clean-shaven pussies that it suddenly became appealing. Watch some classic porn from the 60s and 70s and no one is shaven! Women only needed to trim a little if they wanted to, and shave the bikini line so that their bushes didn't stick out the edges of their bathing suits. For a man to shave his body or pubes 15 years ago was considered very, very odd. Only gay men, bodybuilders, and certain types of athletes (cyclists) did it.

But the current trend is directly related to online porn! Back then, porn wasn't as easy to access as it is now and there was no need to be as explicit as there is now. People felt lucky to be able to bring home a naughty super 8 film for their projector and get an eyeful of bush! And the films had storylines and took a while to get to the money shot.

Nowadays porn is so readily available online - but to keep people on a site, they need the payoff sooner. That requires having everything shaven, and positioning the actors so that all genitals can be seen more easily on camera. Viewers don't want to wait, they want to see it all, up close, right away, forget a story. It's basically a marketing ploy to get more porn customers, so the trend is to have all shaven genitalia, and this has brainwashed the masses into thinking that hairless pussies are more attractive. It never was before, so why is it now? Pubic hair is a sign of sexual maturity. Think about it. Personally, I don't like my pussy looking like a child's.

While I don't believe my pussy looks like a child's when it's hairless (mostly because I have a developed clitoris and labia that I distinctly remember not being that way when I was a child), it's true that the porn industry is what made it appealing to people. They've proven that the porn material you watch can influence what you get aroused by, to the point that men who aren't pedophiles start getting erections when they see their baby girl naked, because they've been so trained to see that kind of genitals associated with sex.

And since porn stars often also have surgery on their labia to make sure nothing "sticks out" (which by the way is counter-intuitive if the only point was to make it so people could see everything, it's quite obvious that it's not the only reason here).

I personally don't think the idea was to make women look like children, though, but like dolls. Dolls have nothing showing, they're smooth everywhere, they don't have discoloration around their asshole, etc. So to achieve that "plastic" look porn introduced shaved/waxed everything (except what the barbie doll has: head hair and eyebrows, the later still needing to be trimmed to look the "right" way). And yes, it changed what people react to, but the point wasn't to make them children, it was to make them objects, to remove their humanity and animality (what's more animal that hairs when you're a mammal?)

It is a shame when people start to require it or become unable to orgasm or get excited without it, and it's definitely a matter of habit (I've noticed a similar thing with attraction towards males, in North America people seem to find circumcised penises to look better, and uncircumcised ones to look "weird". Believe me, people don't think that way in Europe where less that 1% of males are circumcised.

Now, does it hurt anyone if you do shave? Not really. But being asked to is definitely something that makes me more than uncomfortable. It means "you must match what I've seen in porn" rather than porn reflecting real life.

Anyway. My husband shaves sometimes. I don't like the way it looks at all, but it's his decision to make. I hate when it's growing back though, because it hurt having sex, the hairs scratch my clitoris and it's very painful. It's also less enjoyable when he's bald than when he has all of his hairs, because there are no hairs to stimulate me as he trusts in and out, meaning my clitoris gets no stimulation instead of getting tons.

Anyways, it's definitely not normal to be turned off by hairs, when hairs have been until so recently the thing that made adults arousing and children not arousing. I wished people with hairs had representation in porn (as well as everywhere else in the media, really, because I don't limit that to just pelvic hairs), because some women being shaved, bleached and implanted is fine, but if you can't find anything else, or have to look for it specifically, we're just training new generations of teenagers to be attracted to things that don't exist naturally, and making it hard for people to make a decision of what they want to do with their bodies.

I know people often think I'm overreacting when I say things like those, but as someone who, for several years, made the decision not to shave anything (not my pelvis, not my legs, not my armpits, etc), I'm only too aware of the hate speech you can get just walking in the streets. And that makes no sense to me, and in the end even I was pressured into shaving again just so I can walk in the street without being insulted or having children point at me like I'm some sort of circus freak.
I mean think about it. I merely made the decision not to alter my body, and somehow that made me dirty, disgusting,obscene to children, someone who didn't take care of herself, someone who couldn't expect anyone to ever be attracted to her, etc.

I certainly resent the fact that I now spend hours every week changing myself, giving myself the message that the real me is ugly and I need not to be it, only to be able to go get groceries in peace. It just wasn't worth it in the end, but it's hours every week doing something I don't really have a reason to do, except knowing that I'll be discriminated against if I don't.

And I still can't wrap my head around thinking it's the way it should be, that people should go through something they find uncomfortable and painful (even shaving leads to razor burns, itchiness and ingrown hairs, waxing/epilating is of course even worse pain-wise) before they can be "normal". Shouldn't "normal" be the way people are in the first place?
I mean imagine if we as a society thought everyone needed to have a tattoo, otherwise they're gross and unfuckable, and so people who weren't interested in tattoos in the first place had to go through getting one just so people would leave them alone. You'd probably think "well obviously, everyone who wants a tattoo should be free to have one. But in all logic, that would be the exception, not the rule".

I feel the same about body hair. How many people would have decided to shave if they had never seen anyone shaven, and just came up with the idea on their own? Most people don't make the decision, they just follow what they've been told, and that kind of sucks, because people really should be given personal freedoms about things like that.
I don't like shaving. It hurts, I sweat more and stink as a result, it takes a lot of time, it feels less nice and when I look at myself, I feel like a plucked chicken.

And I really dislike that it's spreading to men too. It feels like at some point someone thought "hey, women are supposed to shave body hairs but men aren't, that's not fair", and instead of making it so that everyone could decide either way, they concluded "let's make it so men are supposed to shave as well".
I don't think that one is porn-related as much as it is about cosmetic companies thinking they'd make more money if they also sold products to men.
I mean, it could be porn-related. But really, you can see a guy's junk regardless of how long his hairs are, unless he's really small, and porn actors definitely aren't. And the interesting parts of a man's penis to show on camera are at the tip of it, not the base. And as for the doll thing, that would presumably only apply to gay/bi porn, where a man is the object of desire (women notoriously prefer other forms of porn than the visual one, so pictures and videos are rarely targeted to them).

Well, I wasn't expecting to rant for so long! I'm not saying shaving is wrong, bad or anything. I'm fine with it, I just wish it was a decision that wasn't made for me. And while I know I can make the decision not to shave, I also know the consequences of that, and they're even worse.
 
The reason I keep myself shaven has very little to do with sex and lots to do with hygiene. Females are juicy, bloody creatures, and I think having hair just makes those things linger. I am particularly hairy though.
 
The issue with hair removal associated with Hygiene is just like the association of Circumcision with Hygiene: it is more psychological than having any concrete non-disputable basis in scientific reality.

Yes, shaving can help prevent many illnesses or conditions of the genitals, but so can WASHING and WEARING A CONDOM, the same goes for the foreskin that circumcision claims to "help".~

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd rather get off my lazy bum and wash my body & avoid having sex with people without a test first rather than shave or cut off various parts of myself. :D

Here's an interesting fact: circumcision DOES NOT PREVENT STDs NOR HAS BEEN PROVEN TO "REDUCE" STDs (WITH UNDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE FOUND IN A PROPERLY CONDUCTED STUDY) <-THIS IS THE PART MISSING FROM SO-CALLED "STUDIES".~

men and hair down there

I've had men both ways, hair and no hair.

I prefer some hair. I like it a little trimmed but not so short that it's rough. I like the cushion it provides since I enjoy a lot of clitoral and u-spot stimulation.

Sometimes it's nice when the testicles are shaved. But it's not a necessary thing.

I do love me some hairy men. ;)

I'm also cool with women not shaving. I recently went over a year without shaving anything and the guys that I was with didn't mind. I did occasionally trim the bush for my own liking.

I have sensitive skin and fast growing hair so shaving and hair removal is like torture and a waste of my time.
