Your pubic region:

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Mine is perpetually glossy. I shave my crotch more than my face, actually.

 

I have a "thing" about pubic hair. Hairy pussy? I won't go near it.

[nl5xsk1 0]

I shave, but not with a razor & shaving cream ... I use clippers, the same one that I use to shave my head with. (technically not the EXACT same one - that'd be gross - but the old clippers that weren't cutting my head tight enough).

 

I don't use any attachments, so it's pretty tight (a #1 crop) but there is some peach fuzz. So far, minimal shaving injuries, a little nick hear & there but nothing too catastrophic.

What, like electric clippers? On your balls? That's insane.

[Black Lushus 0]

it's not insane, it's safer than regular razors by far...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm a blade guy.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

How are fucking clippers—what with their meshing gears and whatnot—safer for your nutsack.

[Black Lushus 0]

they're not as sharp as a straight blade...dude don't you use razors?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Unless you're taking the housing off of your razor for some reason, I don't think the "meshing gears" should be a problem. It's the rotating knives that get me.

[nl5xsk1 0]

I don't know if I'd say that they were safer than a regular razor, but I wouldn't say that they're any more treacherous, either. I don't press down hard on my junk or anything, but just kind of hover over them. I normally get a nick or 2 each time, but not enough to really bleed or anything. Just a drop or two. (typing this up makes it sound worse than it really is, I swear.)

i'm talking like clippers used at a barber shop, not like electric shavers with the 3 spinning circular razors and what have you, i think that's the confusion there...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

It's so much quicker with a blade, at least for me. Few good swipes and I'm clean. I keep up on it, though.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Reading this gives me nightmares of the loose skin of the sack easily getting caught and shredded in the clippers.

 

And I guess it can be done, but I have trouble imagining any sort of guard giving you a close enough trim.

 

And, two days later, my balls still hurt a little from any direct pressure placed on the injury.

 

EDIT: Black Lushus, no, I knew what you were talking about. I just couldn't imagine it working or being pain-free. But then there was a time when taking any sharp objects near one's junk seemed like a fool's game.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Clippers aren't as close, either.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

What the hell did you do, anyway? Stay with the grain, don't go against it. The balls and groin shouldn't take more than 9-10 swipes with a good blade.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Cut a little too closely, is all. Same as when you cut yourself shaving your face, except the worst thing ever.

[nl5xsk1 0]

I think that I'd be more likely to cut myself with a standard razor & cream ... you actually have to go onto the skin with that. With my clippers, it's just breezing over the area, and I'm careful not to nick myself with the edge of the blade. Piece of cake.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I gotta say, that the only benefit to all my hair falling out was this (well that and the money saved on haircuts..)

 

I would have never shaved it had it come to that, but having no hair there is great. And since it isn't growing back, I don't have to keep shaving to maintain it that way.

Doesn't this leave your crotch all stubbly? I couldn't deal with that.

[Black Lushus 0]

yeah it can get itchy sometimes

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

That's masochistic. Just shave the shit. It's cleaner anyway.

[Black Lushus 0]

okay, basically i shave the sac and the base of the shaft with a blade, trim the rest with electric clippers...

[nl5xsk1 0]

Doesn't this leave your crotch all stubbly? I couldn't deal with that.

I stay groomed enough that the stubbliness is kept to a minimum ... I'd say at least twice a week I spend a few minutes looking around down there, keeping things high-and-tight in the right places. You never know when you're going to end up with some drunk skeezer in your pants, so it's important to keep things looking and feeling their best.

You know what else works if you're prepping for a night out which might see you hook up with some drunk chick? Baby wipes. You don't have to take a shower and your balls smell fresh, to boot.

I was watching this show last night with my girlfriend where this old lady on that channel Oxygen gives out sex advice. And I mean, an OLD lady too, there's a certain comedic value with the show that comes with Loveline-quality calls at times. There was a girl who had asked this question about shaving her pubic hair, and she had an interesting response.

 

Apparently the purpose of pubic hair is to reduce friction during intercourse AND it's supposed to stink for a reason, because the smell actually contains pheromones which are supposed to invigorate your partner. It works both ways as well.

 

So needless to say since it serves a purpose, I'd trim it but not shave it, much like my eyebrows.

Were Big Show and Tom Selleck there?

Well damn. Just...damn.

So wait. A smelly crotchal region is supposed to be invigorating to the partner? Maybe she meant invigorating in the sense that you'll sprint out of the room after smacking a pine tree taxi cab air freshener on their crotch.

[Internet Warfare 0]

Just to be clear... when you guys talk about shaving above the penis, you don't mean bald...right?

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

So my brutal and disgusting crotch rot stench that can be smelled from 10 feet away could help me get laid?

 

Fuck I better get moving before the bars close.
