I'm considering shaving my genitalia.

[Guest Incandenza]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I'm coming close to actually going through with it. For the longest time, the very notion repulsed me, but, due to talking to some people who swear by the hairless lifestyle, the idea is gaining some appeal. In fact, here's a list of advantages and disadvantages of doing this:

 

Positives: Decreases sweatiness; makes me look like a porn star; gives testicles a smoother texture; when killing kittens, the seed won't get in my pubes. I HATE it when that happens.

 

Negatives: Sounds like a lot of hassle (but then I shave my head regularly--the one on my shoulders--so I'd get use to it eventually); I'd look like a pre-pubescent boy.

 

 

I probably would've done this sooner, but there was no real reason. Due to my meticulous bathing habits, I've never had any ladies complain of a musky odor in my crotch, but, here I am. Any tips?

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

Don't do it?

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

Oh, and you forgot a negative...

 

Negative: Endless HHH jokes

[Guest Incandenza]

Don't do it? I happen to know there are ladies who enjoy caressing silky smooth testicles.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

Whatever you do, don't wax.

If you can, it's actually much better to have a chick shave it for you. It seems risky, but most girls shave their legs, pits and all or part of their crotch regularly, so they have experience, plus because of the angle, there's less chance of error than doing it yourself.

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

My wife likes it, the guma likes it, you can't go wrong.

[Guest Incandenza]

The couple of people I've talked with about this before suggested that I let a girl do it, and I'm inclined to go with that. These are my BALLS we're talking about here. I'd probably be too timid to go through with it.

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

I personally like the idea. I say go for it

[Guest Incandenza]

I'm just about convinced. Too bad I'm single at the moment, as my only other option is to use "Would you like to shave my genitals?" as pick up line at clubs.

[Guest dreamer420]

You will be one itchy bastard for awhile. Trust me.

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

You will be one itchy bastard for awhile. Trust me.

Oh hell yeah. And you may get ingrown hairs too.

[Guest eiker_ir]

but isn't it gonna be bothering later, when it starts growing again...like beard...

 

and how frequently would u have to shave it?

[Guest J*ingus]

Having had painful experience at this, a couple of suggestions:

 

1. Don't just go in with a razor and start whacking away; thoroughly trim the bush down with a pair of scissors or something first.

 

2. Do NOT shave against the grain. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Doing so makes you much more at risk for razor burn and ingrown hairs.

 

3. Rub some plain white deodorant over the shaved area afterwards, the chemicals help soothe the skin and cut down on razor burn.

 

4. After about a week, the itching will begin...

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

I've never been bad, however I do shave my legs every two days so it never gets bad. But I guess guys don't need that much maintance.

[Guest El Satanico]

I don't actually shave mine, but i do try to keep them trimmed down to a very short length.

 

I can't stand having a big old forest of hair down there, but i didn't want to deal with the itchiness. Therefore i took the best of both worlds and i use electric hair clippers(like barbers use) around every three weeks to keep them trimmed down.

 

I'd suggest trying that first to see if that's short enough for you. You could also use scissors, but hair clippers are faster.

[Guest Marshall]

Do it and post before and after shots!

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

Yeah so the handful of girls that post can see. I'll pass, my guy's is very nice anyway

[Guest Incandenza]

Hey, it's good to see Davy come out of hiding, even if it was only due to his desire to see my unit.

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

Seriously I think if you do it once, you'll find you like it that way. I can't stand to even have mine trimmed, it bothers me. None is the way to go, and it is a turn on.

[Guest LooseCannon]

As one of the leading and most ardent advocates of au natural genital stylings, I say don't do it.

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

So you perfer hair to completely silky smooth? I really don't care what my man does (he knows what I like though) but me I like it all smooth

[Guest BaldFish]

I recommend shaving the balls and merely trimming the bush. Shaving the actual bush is bad news--stubble and such. But you should definitely trim--makes the cock look bigger.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I know it's the cliche thing to say, but...

 

...I now know WAAAAAAY more than I *ever* wanted to know about some of you guys.

[Guest Sandman9000]

I tend to keep sharp objects away from my gentials.

 

Having seen what sharp shit can do to my face, arms, and back, I don't want ANYTHING that my cut my shit up down there.

[Guest dreamer420]

When you are working in that area you have to be extra careful.

[Guest crandamaniac]

[Guest Ravenbomb]

I could've gone my whole life without ever knowing Incandenza was going to shave is nuts

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

Sandman - you wouldn't treat your nuts like that. Damn that would hurt.

And if Incandenza is comfortable with his sexuality to admit wanting to shave himself, more power to him. I don't see the big deal, but I guess since I'm a female there are different standards

[Guest Incandenza]

Nut shaving is a lot more common than some people are willing to admit.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

I know it's more common, I just didn't want to know that YOU do it or are going to do it or anything to do with your testicles. It's like seeing a porn movie that has someone you knew in high school in it. It's disturbing and you don't want to see it.
