For the men...shaving down there

[lovinher 505]

I'm one of those guys who thought I'd NEVER be able to put a razor between my legs. Not me, no how, no friggin way. Just the thought of it would give me the willies.

 

After some hints from Lovinhim I finally took the plunge and did some yard work down below. Being the first time it was pretty comical and took me about a hour. (blades and balls do not mix). Now that it is done I realize I should have done it a long time ago. As long as you keep up with the shaving every 2-3 days there is absolutely no itching, even less than before. Touch ups take only a couple of minutes. Another advantage is things definitely look bigger. Now I know why porn stars do it and Lovinhim loves it!

 

So to you guys contemplating this.....just do it already. Everything seems more sensitive now. You will have less itching and your SO will have more to lick/suck without hair in the way and she'll probably spend more time doing it.

 

Trust me, if I can do it, anybody can.

 

Hmmm...now what do I tell my Doctor?

[graygo98 148]

Do you mean totally bare? Shaving/cleaning up "below" and trimming "above" is great. But bare looks .... weird.

[Thrax 384]

Hmmm...now what do I tell my Doctor?

I've been shaving my balls and shaft and trimming "above" for several years. I get an annual physical -- including the testicular-tumor check and hernia check -- done by a GP. During the first few years I went to him for physicals I was not shaven down there, but since I started shaving he's never said anything or otherwise indicated any surprise at my ball-baldness.

 

I also get a full-body skin exam done annually by a dermatologist since I have fair skin and moles (and increased danger of skin cancer because I rarely used sunscreen in my youth), and I have some eczema and psoriasis. She's never said anything either, but I guess it's easier for her to see the skin without all the extra hair there.

 

Either way, unless your doctor is just out of med school, he or she has pretty much seen it all. But if your doctor asks you why you shaved there, just give a and tell him or her you did it for Lovinhim. And you can mention you were reluctant at first, but reassured it was safe to do and given recommendations on how to do it by a bunch of swingers you've never met in person.

Now you know why "Living on the Edge" is so great...

 

I use a Braun 360 complete. Make sure everyting is dry and your fingers travel across your skin without dragging... Then use the razor. It's great. Much better than the Norelco that tore me up before. I would be afraid too if there were no other options. You can use a blade occaisionally, but you really don't need to.

 

It's the one razor I've found that is safe and works very well.

i've been doing it since i was iin my late 20's and let me tell you that my friends thought i was sick, then one day they would look at me with a really funny grin and tell me, guess what i did!

 

i know most of the girls i've been with really like it and i like the feeling when im getting my balls licked

I shaved below and trimmed above. Either way I think it looks weird, like a plucked chicken but she likes it and I guess that's all that matters. (anything for you baby ) I'm kind of hairy but blond. If I had dark hair it would look a bit odd(er). No offense guys.

Hairy or not, in a few weeks it will look "normal". And if you let it grow back, then it will look weird.

 

Bet on it.

[Esoteric 15]

I love it. Nothing worse than a mouthful of pubic hair! Get rid of it! facelick

[NakedInSeattle 159]

Love it all bare "down there." Won't even start on the benefits! I've been shaving for years and the worst thing was the irritation. If you haven't tried it, the Gillette "Fusion" is the greatest. It doesn't feel like shaving. No irritation and no nicks even on the loose skin of the sack. It feels great. Wanna feel?

[lovinher 505]

Do I wanna feel?

 

Sorry dude but no!

 

I'm going to stick with the razor for now. So far not a scratch. But thanks for the suggestions guys and I may try them in future

 

Thrax, I'm already at the point where going back to not shaving would look weirder. To me shaven, hairy, trimmed all looks weird. I'm pretty close to my Dr., we talk like buddies would so I'm sure he'll throw a shot at me in a joking way. I'll just say the ladies like it and leave it at that. He has no clue about the swinging and I would rather not go there. I go the Cleveland clinic where everything is computerized and everything relevant is entered right in the exam room. So every Dr there reading my file would know I have multiple partners and I have even been asked that several times for some reason. My urologist is a fine looking woman, for some reason I worry about her seeing it so that might be awkward. Just one of my quirks I gues.

 

Isn't there anything like hair removal creams that work without irritation?

Seems to me that would be the ideal way.

[daisy girl 34]

I love it!!!

[hose4play 15]

I am totally shaved

[AlmostHuman 16]

Never thought I'd go that route but a couple of years ago I decided to check it out. It worked out well after I got over the intial shock of bare skin under the tumble weed.I went thru the usual stuff you deal with the 1st time (razor burn/bumps etc)

The benefits outweight the downers so bare or very closely trimmed is the way to go for me now.

[zztx1 18]

When the hair grows back on the top or on the balls, do you ever get complaints from the female partner that you are stabbing her pubic area with sharp hairs. Whiile I cannot even identify the areas where these hairs are growing back they can tend to stab a well trimmed female area.

[chrisunion 19]

I never thought about shaving my cock and balls completely, until I seen how wild my wife got when she was having sex with another guy who was completely shaved. The way she was sucking him off and licking his balls with such sexual pleasure, she said it was great to give oral and not have to deal with a man hair in her mouth. So after that i have kept it completely shaved.

[two_execs 15]

I shave below may be once or twice a week and keep the top part neatly trimmed just long enough to avoid irritation. My wife loves the way it feels and always coos when she sees that my balls are smooth

[belgiumCouple 15]

I once had a sexpartner who was shaved and she suggested I'd do the same. Ever since I've been shaving once or twice a week. In the beginning in a very oily bath and with shaving foam to avoid irritation. Now (about 1.5 years later) I can just pass the razor under the shower or in bath without any shaving foam or oil. I would never go back and when I see a 'jungle' in a swingers club I turn my head away. My wife (who started shaving a bit later) has the same opinion about this and wouldn't like me letting it grow again...

[landb4fun 15]

there is a shaving lotion my wife uses called "Veet", you just lather up your balls wait 3 mins. get into shower and rub the lotion off with wash cloth and your balls are clean as a nice wax job on a muscle car, no pain all gain

[charms123 52]

We keep each other completely smooth.

[lovinher 505]

I'll have to check into "Veet". I've been having problems with ingrown hairs and I'm starting to wonder if it is worth it. Does anybody else have any experience with this stuff?

[us2maybe 15]

I find that my mate finds sex more enjoyable when I shave - she's not crazy about the regrowth - so I shave my pipe and ball bearings probably more than my face.

 

5'oclock shadow on your balls ain't cool...

[landb4fun 15]

I been using Veet about once a month and I don't have any problems at all.

[eskimo 18]

I had been shaving on a regular basis when my wife told me that she prefers it furry. I kind of liked shaved, but when the boss speaks, I listen. It is now furry.

I have this problem with my boyfriend, it feels like sandpaper when he shaves! I had to tell him to stop it. He is black, maybe it is because of the different hair texture with him? Anyway, I prefer him au natural, and it doesn't get in the way of a good BJ either! Most black men don't seem to be too hairy anyway.

[Frankie 18]

I've tried waxing a few times, looks pretty good. But now lately I have been going all natural on my bush, seems some ladies do like a hairy man but some prefer bare, so I'm going to stay a la natural for now.

[crazi429 16]

I just shaved for the first time this week and have shaved daily so far but am unsure. Balls are no problem but the area above and around the shaft are rough and sore. I use the razor mentioned above and it seems to work great but it get rough quickly. I wear a full beard because my face breaks out from shaving so I am hoping for not the same problem down below.

[celtic239 297]

I just tried shaving below for the last few weeks. Man the irritation kills me for at least a day and a half. Is "VEET" the same sort of stuff as "Nair", because I read that stuff will burn your balls off.

[ncmd_couple 597]

I have been shaving for about 8 years. I use a Mach 3 razor, and skintimate gel. When you first start shaving you need to sooth the area, hydrogen peroxide is an option, several others. But as you shave on a regular basis, it gets better. I shave every three or four days, and the morning before play time in the shower.

[crazi429 16]

I do hope it gets better. I have been shaving daily or else the stubble get really severe. I tried some hand lotion I got from the hospital during my hosipital stay for the hip replacement last night and today has been much better.

[Chucat 31]

OK guys...so like you know how you get those promotional razors in the mail? Gillette sent me a FUSION model as a promotion a while back. It's a 5 blade inline...really smooth...and 99.9 % knick free. It's a nice razor but the refills cost a freakin fortune. So it was perfect for me as an occsaional razor. I've only just started shaving...DOWN BELOW...maybe a few months ago. I usually shave fresh for club outtings and play dates. That razor works really well. I use Edge jell as the glide media and shave while showering. The hot shower works wonders and Edge gives you a cool menthol feeling afterwards...ahhhhhhh!

 

No burning balls or five o'clock shadows (these had me rollin), but I would be interested in trying the Veet. I mean...no matter how good you are with a razor...it's a sharp object near a very vital organ...accidents are bound to happen.

[crazi429 16]

I use the Fusion and it seems to work well. We don't buy the refills it usually cheaper to buy new razor kit or look for special packages. Last time I bought a Kit with razor 4 replacement blades and shaving cream all for less then a 4 pack of replacement blades. Today we bought just the razor kit with new handle with blade and 3 replacements for 1/2 of what the 4 replacement blade kit cost. The irritation seems to get less daily so I hope it will all go away soon. Still just trying different things for after shaving to reduce the irritation. In fact I shaved my face for first time in 20+ years and with the newer creams and razors its feeling better than it ever did years ago. Sure was a shock to the family Red or the kid have never seen me with out a beard.

[ownerspet 506]

I don't care what my doctor thinks, and he has never asked. I think if a doctor asked me why I shaved down there, I would ask him if it was going to cause medical problems. To the best of my knowledge it doesn't, so I don't really think he would be concerned.

[happynudcpl 15]

I am 45 years old and I have been shaving down there the age of 19. There no other way for me. Since my wife and I go to nudist resorts and beaches we see more men that shave.

[Guest warrencouple]

I've been shaving ever since I got the tubes cut, started out just the balls, eventually started shaving everything below the belt...

 

Use a Fusion as well, if you go to some of the warehouse clubs, you can get a *lot* of refills for about the price of a new razor and refills. Currently have something like 24 refills waiting around.

 

Wife definitely prefers the smooth look.

[Chucat 31]

So the Fusion is a good tool for the tool! Thanks for the suggestions on getting cheaper refills. I will look into both. I did forget to mention one final step in my process which is a comfort to the jewels more than anything. I use Gold Bond Ultimate Comfort Body Powder to dust off the jewels with. This cuts down seriously on chafe and abrasion, plus it has a nice aloe scent. I do keep the little soldier powder free however, just in case he's beckoned to an oral engagement. I somehow don't think the powder would be very palitable.

[Swing*8701 887]

Ed here-- I recently taken to shaving my testicles and the area around my cock. Susan thinks it's great. One thing, if you're using a blade, as I do, you might just nick yourself and have some bleeding. I have found that having 'liquid bandage' spray was a life saver as I was able to spray it on and have sex shortly after with no bleeding.

[jimmigeorge 15]

I have been clean since my angioplasty in 93. I was left with what ex and I called a Hitler mustaches Well that came OFF REALLY FAST. As it grew out the irritation made me to keep things clean. Now it just part of my morning shower.

[richwig 16]

Yep. A couple minutes in the shower each day keeps the balls and shaft hair free. Mrs (and other ladies) love the feel of the skin and I've noticed are much more willing to perform oral.

 

For you voyeurs: The view when playing is incredible! No hair to get in the way.

 

I too let it grow back for my first couple of physicals, it looked weird and itched like crazy. Now, I don't bother and my Dr. hasn't said anything. If he does, I'll simply tell him it's at the request of the Mrs. and he can ask her if he wants more detail.

I like your answer for the doc if he ever asks! Heh.

 

The Mr. shaves, as he said, and it's quite nice. We picked up some Veet the other night and will give it a try on the weekend to see how it is for smoothness. We'll be sure to post results.

Unless the member in question develops a @#*&!! cyst from an ingrown hair as a result of shaving... my poor sweet spousal unit is suffering thusly right now.

[MapleCpl 67]

Guys, try waxing your upper pubic area!!!!

 

My wife does it for me and it works great. The first time we tried, I nearly saw stars but by the second time it gets a lot easier. The biggest benefit is that you will not be stabbing your lady in her pubic area when your hair starts to grow. Your hair will start to grow a lot softer and it will grow less and less over time. My wife also waxes me in between my legs and anal areas so it's all clean.

 

DO NOT attempt to wax your balls as the skin is is too soft and it just doesn't work well at all.....other than that, I freaking love waxing. I can go for about 3 to 4 weeks without having to get it done again.

[steversk 19]

A couple of years ago I decided to surprise my wife and shaved my whole pubic area. I had no problem and I liked the way it felt. However, my wife thought it looked strange. So now it just keep it trimed.

[Chucat 31]

I have to agree whole heartedly with Richwig! The view is much better in unobstructed fashion. The other part about the view is (speaking from a really "average" view point cuz I know some of you guys out there are hung like Shetland ponies and this probably wouldn't apply anyway) after I shaved I kinda looked...well...just a little bit larger in the endowment department. I know...it was an optical dillusion...but it made me proud!!!!

 

My missus also thought it was a liitle "different" looking at first, but she has grown really accustomed to it since it's sort of common place in the lifestyle. This thing about wax jobs though...wax on...wax off...seems a karate chop to the adams apple might feel better, but I can't say from experience...so I digress! I do wanna hear more about the veet from warrencouple...then it may be time to give that a try if there's no burning ball syndrome afterwards!!

[acorn42047 15]

Thought I'd chime in. My wife wants me to shave. She says it will be better for both of use when she goes down on me. I'm all for that. But I don't want to put a razor on my junk. I actually only have to shave my goatee area once every three days (someday I'll hit puberty), So I'm not very experienced in the shaving department. So...

 

I just received a bottle of VEET Sensitive Formula. I tried it on my nipples this morning to see what it felt like and there was a very slight tingling sensation. It was not bad at all. I will be trying it on the boys tonight. Wish me luck as I wouldn't want any of my compatriots to see this. I will post a review upon completion of my mission.

 

I hope it doesn't burn .

[acorn42047 15]

Alright I'm done. Let me preface this review with a little info. I'm in the Army and I'm currently deployed to Iraq. This means that I can't hang out with my wang out in the mens shower as this is against Man Law.

 

Here is my AAR (after action review).

 

What was supposed to happen: I was supposed to go into the male shower get in a really small shower stall, apply veet to my legs, balls, shaft, and taint, leave veet on for 5 - 8 min then rinse off. Hair is supposed to come of easily and with minimum pain.

 

What actually happened: Well all and all it went of without a hitch. I was a little cramped in the shower which made it hard to reach the lower part of my legs. After applying veet there was very little discomfort and no pain. I attribute the discomfort to having just clipping the sensitive areas. I left the veet on for about 8 min. And with some rubbing with my washcloth 99% of the hair came off rather easily. It was a bit messy as I'm pretty hairy below the belt. I got out dryed off, went to my room and admired myself. I then applied a product call nutrogena after shave lotion to my legs, and the wedding tackle. There is still a little hair here and there that I cleaned up with a razor. In my own home this would not be a problem.

 

Conclusion: I have found a product that is the answer for me. Completely satisfied and I will purchase veet over and over. As always YMMV.

 

Ask me anything.

 

Steve

[fun4Ds 1,098]

Well son of a b*tch.... I'm gonna get some veet.

 

Unless someone complains....

 

Your way cool, for giving us a heads up on this...

 

Thanks

[CuriousLeo's 19]

I used to shave with the Mach3, but all the Veet posts made me go out and try it. So far, used it twice, in two weeks. pretty good product. I need to leave it on longer though.. I was nervous. I have used it on the whole area, and as long as it doesn't get in or too close to the back door, there is no feeling for me at all.

 

I'm gonna stick with the veet!

[Chucat 31]

OK so like the sell on Veet sounds like the real deal! You know a little tingling around the boyz isn't such a bad thing...at least NO burning balls!! Now, I really don't like to sound as "living under a rock" as this might sound, but could you explain the squirrel on the trampoline thing to me please? I've always been intrigued with our "furry little friends".

[cuminmd 7]

Well I guess I'm going to have to run out to Wal-Mart. Been shaving the boys for years been wanting to try nair but every one said it burned real bad so I didn't. Just kept on shaving can I get veet at Wal-Mart.

[rpu3 630]

You'll never get the Spousal Unit to try it on his parts.

 

We tried Veet on his back prior to a trip to Belize, and his back was a complete mess (broken out, peeling skin, the whole nine yards) and that stuff will come nowhere near his body now.

 

I've used it myself to dehair the nether regions with reasonable results - I just don't have the patience to sit for 10 minutes to keep doing it.

 

The only moral to this story, besides "good luck" would be perhaps a skin patch test might be in order before you gentlemen slather your balls in it, just to be safe?
