Guys: do you shave your genitals?

[naughty A 23]

When I first got into the lifestyle about 5+ years ago you only occassionally saw a girl who shaved her pussy -

 

Personally I am plagued by the red bumps/ingrown hairs etc so don't do it myself - I figure neatly trimmed is way way better than red bumps - plus I still get to have sex which I CAN'T do if I shave it. but now I am in the extreme minority... every girl I encounter now does.

 

Don't tell me to try waxing - try way worse ingrown hairs and it only looks nice for a week and then you have to wait 4-5 more weeks before you can go back in for another waxing? I'm happy with it the way it is.

 

Backb to my original question - how many guys shave? I have met I think 2 - and of course a few more at a nude beach - but really what do you suppose is the percentage... and does it vary with age of the person...

 

What is your experience with this?

[ciscosv 26]

I trim the hair when necessary.

[OhioCouple 41]

My husband began shaving about three years ago. It was actually something we just tried together, before we ever began swinging. In the beginning he shaved it all, but now just keeps the testicals and shaft shaved with the upper groin area kept neatly trimmed. He has had no problems with irritation.

 

He enjoys the feeling of mine and his being shaved when we have sex. We both agree that there is definitely a different feel to 'shaved' sex.

"J" here the male half of "K".

 

Heck yes I shave and/or trim. I use a trimmer for beards and take all the hair off the balls and shaft and near the boottie area. Also, I take all the hair off in the groin area with the trimmer so I don't get bumps. I leave a patch about the size of a silver dollar in my groin area so I still have a manly look to it.

 

"K" hates to see a man with hairy balls and groin area. She says ladies take care of that area that men ought to also. I use to shave it all off which she liked very much, but now she likes just the patch of hair. Waxing is a killer and in time gives real bad bumps. So use a trimmer I say.

 

Men---trim down that area and it will add about 1 inch to the visual effect of your wanger. Use a trimmer and do it with steady hands!!!!!

[staceyandjohn 15]

Absolutely. i agree with j and k that a trimer for most and then a smooth shave for the shaft and testicles.

great for visual effect and always more sensative scrotum.

 

 

alas a lovely shorn scrotum.....? Dr. Evil?

[Guest Seymore]

no, no, no...im not about to shave OR trim my pubic hair. It's not as though it gets so long it has to be trimmed. I honestly prefer women who arent completely shaved either. Actually a bikini line is all a woman needs, IMHO. Everyone's pubic hair has a different look, and it makes women look more unique. If everyone shaved, we'd all look the same. And I really DONT buy the "adds an inch visually" thing for guys. I assumed that was the reason porn actors did it, but i dont think it looks too appealing. My wife agrees...she thinks trimmed pubic hair looks kind of sleazy on a guy, like a pinky ring or a pony tail.

[BradAndJanet 70]

Well, yes, I do. I have been smooth for about 2 years. It's easy to take care of in the shower everyday using ladies razors and Skintimate gel - which I like better than the foam. The razor stubble can be helped by applying some Dove deodorant after shaving (and it really, really works!) I like the way it feels and looks and so does J.

My husband has shaved for me. I like it much better. If he doesn't shave, he trims the hair. It's a major turnoff for me to have to pick pubic hairs out of my mouth and teeth when I'm giving him a blowjob. I stay shaved for him so he doesn't have to do the same when he eats my pussy.

 

It's all a matter of what one likes.

I have to fully agree. There is nothing more disruptive than halting all activity to pick out a hair from your teeth or the back of your throat. I have a weak gag reflex and it definitely spoils the mood.

[WildFlower 17]

My husband shaves his shaft and balls, and closely trims the rest. I like it that way. No more picking hair from my mouth at a crucial moment. lol;)

[perlwizard 15]

I trim quite often, and shave the shaft and balls occasionally. Usually when she wants me to.

[Tanman aka Mike and Marie 16]

I have trimmed and shaved. And completely shaved in the past (Too itchy..won't do it again)

 

Marie likes things trimmed and some areas shaved. And actually makes you look bigger

[Guest Seymore]

i wanna add one last thing here...pubic hair has naturally soft ends and feels good against your face. Trimmed pubic hair has sharp bristley ends and is like putting your face against a scrub brush.

[Guest stitch_va22015]

I might consider clean shaved, the reason is very simple because I enjoyed the way it is.

[Brian and Jo 344]

We both shave our genitals and cannot contemplate ever having pubic hair again. The smooth body is cleaner, more comfortable and more attractive to look at in our view. Best of all it is more sensitive so smooth sex is very enjoyable. When we are having oral sex there is no hair getting in our mouths and when we fuck the feeling of our smooth bodies grinding together is fantastic. Most of the couples in our circle shave too and so do an increasing number of our non-swinging nudist friends.

[TennMan24 15]

Yes I do shave, in fact I shaved this morning. I just think it's cleaner and more attractive to females.

[Guest stitch_va22015]

I like something naturally.

[joseph3d 15]

I don't know how I would ever shave my pubic hair & area. Here is the deal. I am very hairy all over my chest and it goes right on down into my genital area....I am hairy all over.

 

Wouldn't I look funny if I shaved the hair around my genitals since there would be a hair line???

 

Does hairy guys really turn off others? After reading the posts here, it almost seems rude to be hairy since it does get in the woman's mouth. I imagine it is genetic.

 

Edit: PS: From the male half of the couple.

[sexualhealingmn 15]

We stay trimmed...sometimes we shave...

I love hairy chest men....and it's normally a requirement!

[mksNmd 15]

We both trim and on occasion I will shave my testicles. The wife loves the smoothness. However, we don't think it's appropriate to "demand" from anyone to trim or shave. We have seen numerous ads where the couple makes that a requirement. Personally I like a woman that has a neatly trimmed bush. I don't really care for the shaved ones.

Well, welcome to the board. Did you post an introduction in our introductions forum so we could get to know you better?

 

Yes I did - about a week ago now, or see my profile.

 

I have confirmed my earlier diagnosis and find myself truly addicted.

 

I was prompted to ask this question because - I refuse to shave again myself - because it ingrows and I find the red bumps extremely unattractive - AND - I would find it very silly to see hubby shaved as he's another one with body hair on his legs and chest and would look very silly if he just shaved the one "patch" as joseph3d said. Neatly trimmed is sufficient for both of us.

 

Since we frequent OFF premise clubs it is easy to tell that more and more of newer female acquaintances are shaved now (rather than 5 years ago) but it is not so easy to tell about the men.

 

not so idle curiousity, I guess.

[Brit_Pair 62]

Another regular male shaver here!

 

Fully shaved testicles and shaft, and some light trimming around the rest of the area. She loves being able to run her tongue over completely smooth balls and up and down a hairless shaft. She also thinks there's something additionally arousing about the appearance, like you're serious about the way you look for sex.

[Uneed_Love 15]

When we are together we shaved completely the genitals because it's nicer to be shaved for a 69. When we are separated I seldom shave but she does.

[Brit_Pair 62]

The problem I've found with shaving your testicles is just how irritating it can be when you don't stay on top of the situation. The prickly regrowth rubbing against the inside of your thighs can drive you insane!

[Roxysbayou 20]

My husband shaves pretty regularly. I love it! I also hate hair in my mouth, lol. But he finds that he is much more sensitive without all of that hair. It feels great to him!

[Guest FreakyBytch]

I hate when guys shave their dicks. It takes away from the manliness. Besides, I like a smooth dick, but NEVER take the hair from the nuts, that just looks funny to me for some reason. I also hate when guys shave their genital area mainly because when it's just growing back, those damn prickly hairs stick the hell out of you and cause irritation sometimes. Other than that, I love to feel my husband's soft curly dick hairs tickling my clit while he is making love to me. (vaginally that is, although we do sometimes but rarelly make love anally).

[CanadianCouple 18]

Neither of us shave our genitals, but having looked through many swingers ads, we realize many do. We haven't swung with anyone who've been clean shaven down there, although one woman was close -- stubbly would best describe her, and wasn't the most comfortable feeling for me while going down on her.

 

The one and only time I was clean shaven was in preparation for my vasectomy. I first used a hair removal cream, specifically Nair, and learned a very painful lesson - particularly since I used it in hot bathwater. The vasectomy almost wasn't necessary after that.

I shave it all off and I agree with ya on it feeling like a scrub brush "which can be a turn off", I can not get it baby smooth. However I would rather deal with that then the gaging lose pubic hairs "so NASTY" I have recenty tried to eat out two females who were not shaved and I nearly vomited.... I can not and will not try to eat a hair pie again. Also pussy without pubic hair DOSE SMELL better. The hairs hold moist gunk, I have gone down a lot of women clean shaven "except two" IMHO it is nicer. As far as males I can't do a bj unless it is trimmed... I don't care if it's shaved. I don't like the way totally shaved men feel when that stubble hits your chin and lips it HURTS. Women however when you are eating them you are not licking the stubble and it dose not hit your lips. I say ladies shave it guys trim it. It will be a MUST for me from now on if a women wants me to go down she has to be as bald as I am or it's not going to happen. Just thinking about a women's pubic hair gags me...it is a 100% turn off 4 me. My husband trims he says he can eat hair pie but, not if it's a real jungle "lol". More then 75% of the women at the club we attend are shaven.

[enigma69 15]

We both shave - she basically shaves her whole pussy, leaving just a short strip above the top of her clit - I find that it looks really sexy, and the feeling of eating out a smooth, soft pussy is unbelievable.

 

As for me, I usually use a hair removal cream - I find that as long as you follow the instructions to the letter, it usually is fine - I once left it on for a few minutes too long (the first time I did it ...) and my balls were extremely sensitive for a day or so - no permanent damage though ...

 

I find that using a hair remover eliminates that stubbly regrowth the hair seems to grow back softer somehow ...

 

And I have read a lot in the posts here about the Dove deodorant - it has only recently become available here in SA, so am going to give that a try soon too ...

 

But for the record - smooth sex ROCKS !!! There is nothing better !!!

Yeah, the first time I tried it, I did the same thing. You know, "to make sure it was really working". Ouch! Follow the directions...

 

It does help with the stubble though, and if I know we're going to be getting 'frisky' later, sometimes I'll use it after shaving to get a little smoother.

[Brit_Pair 62]

With regards to hair removal cream, would a 'specially for bikini line' variant provide a gentler alternative? Or were you already using that sort of cream?

It's a product called Nair (for "no hair"?) I just looked at the bottle and it does not specify where you should use it, but it "leaves your legs silky smooth." It's really not a problem if you don't leave it on for longer than they say to. The first time I was just 'making sure'...

Sounds almost as appealing as dipping your nuts in sulfuric acid.

[Paul&Audrey 21]

I have kept kept myself smooth for nearly 3 years. Wife has loved it from day one. Of the few FFM 3somes we have been involved in, the other lady has always been very impressed with the sight it creates. I am otherwise a VERY furry individual, and the wife says having that area shaved smooth draws attention to it so very well...

[CABob 16]

For me it works, I like the way it feels. I keep it short on top and shave my nuts. Makes me feel cleaner and I've really enjoyed giving myself this much attention.

[Neptune1 16]

I can't stand hairy women and I'm sure they don't pubic hair in their teeth. There is a "feel" that is fantasic with pure flesh against flesh.

 

We were with a couple a few weeks ago and before the evening was done, Ms. S had them both on the bathroom floor waving a razor. (Got the film to prove it) They both got off on it. Next week-end at a private social, the same couple was enlisting Ms. S to shear a few other friends.

 

Bald is beautiful and feels good too!

[nubian_cpl 15]

I don't prefer to see men totally shaved. All the men I have been with have had hair. It just looks more manly, and I like "Menly Men"......I have never gotten a hair in my mouth while giving head and find that concept odd. My husband thinks the female body looks better with hair on the crotch area, neatly trimmed. I agree a bit of hair looks more artsy on a womans crotch area. And there is nothing worse than a completely shaved crotch with hair bumps discoloration and such down there.

I use a cream called Veet. Its nice as it comes with a type of scraper which acts like a razor (but with a rubber blade) so gives a really smooth finish.

Hehehe ... we have been in this position a couple of times too - we met, we saw, we shaved them .... and they loved it !!! And then they intorduced to more friends the next time we met for the same treatment - its a lot of fun, and the responses from the other partner have always been ... WOW !!!

[Bubblicious 15]

Have shaved completely before and found it sensual/yet if not kept that way to many issues I.E. itch etc. I have kept my testicles shaved for some time know to enhance oral sex and pleasure on both parties involved

[Chris&Amelia 253]

While the wife will occasionally shave, she has told me in no uncertain terms that I am never to shave my genital region.

 

She prefers hairy men.

[Michael 12 16]

I have been shaving my cock and balls for years, like the neater look, and have gotten many compliments from women.

[Brit_Pair 62]

It may have already been mentioned, but there is an added benefit for men. Shaving below the cock, and keeping above it trimmed back, has the side effect of making an erection look even longer.

 

Hoorah!

 

An optical illusion it may be, but it's a satisfying one all the same!!

[spamcatcher 36]

I'm one who is. at present, shaved on the penile shaft and scrotum. The pubic hair above is also trimmed. And I have red hair on the rest of my body, which some of you indicate might look odd, contrasted with the clean look of the pubes.

 

Personally, I love the hairless look on both sexes, although my preference is long, flowing, luxurious hair on the head of a lovely woman. Still, I'd be curious to be in the presence of a naked woman who even had a bald pate. (no prejudices here...)

 

The female body is the most beautifully-designed structure in existence. The graceful curves and lines are a delight to the senses, and the feeling of the soft skin from head to toe, uninterrupted by the presence of hair, is a huge turn-on for me.

 

I'll never forget my first experience with my shaved wife, when I slid my hands from her breasts, down her stomach and then to the newly-denuded pubic bone above her pussy. Oh, my God -- how sexy is that!? Unfortunately, although she will shave occasionally, she finds it too irritating to keep up with, and so I settle for a trim most of the time. On the plus side, sometimes when we get really randy, she loves to spread for me and let me get in there with my battery-powered (and -- yup, it vibrates... ) beard trimmer. I had the handle end in her just last week in fact, as I was doing an impromptu trim and thought I'd give her a little something to smile about at the same time...

 

As far as my own shaving habits, I keep on top of things, using a disposable safety razor in the shower, with plain soap, at least every other day. Usually, I'll follow up with a fragrant lotion gently rubbed in to soothe and heal any minor nicks.

 

Personally, although you might find this over the top, I enjoy everything about being shaved in the 'nether regions.' I enjoy the very act of lathering up, stretching the penis to shave the shaft and manipulating the scrotum to shave it clean. I like that phantom "extra length" appearance other posters have alluded to. I love the cool, smooth feeling of my hairless balls, both to my own touch and when my wife has been stroking the shaft to erection and then reaches down to fondle them.

 

Nobody has brought this up yet, but I even think that intercourse feels different (and - to me - better) with a shaved dick. I only recently began to shave again in this most recent round -- two weeks ago today, as a matter of fact. That night, in bed, we went for a little "extra".

 

I'd bought my wife a pair of nipple rings to try -- she loves having her nipples sucked and tweaked. I suckled them to erection, then put on the rings, which are designed to exert pressure on the nipple through two small balls on the sides of the ring. She moaned in delight, and said that she wished that they could be adjusted to be tighter. All the while, we had a light on so that we could both see the sexy adornment on her breasts, and how erect they kept her rosy-tipped nipples. I love to see my wife's face when she's in sexual ectasy and this was doing a pretty good job.

 

I entered her from atop -- something kind of rare for us these days -- with my freshly-shaved cock and made love to her while sucking on one of those delightfully captive nipples. She climaxed quickly, mostly because of the foreplay and the new sensation on her nipples, I imagine. Perhaps this speaks poorly of me as a lover, but though my wife has failed to have an orgasm only a small handful of times in our 31 years of very frequent sex, it is rare for her to have it vaginally unless she's on top, riding me. So this was a treat for me, too. There's nothing quite looking down at a sexually-satisfied woman who you've just brought to orgasm in the "traditional way." (But I like all the others, too....

)

 

For me, there was a definite difference in the way my cock felt in her, because it was smooth against her smooth internal softness. It seems improbable that some fine hairs can change the sensation so much, but the difference is discernable and unmistakable to me.

 

So I intend to keep shaving, despite the discomfort that can come with sweating in warmer weather. One thing that I've found is that a switch from conventional underwear "briefs" to boxer briefs makes a difference, because my "package" is now not so tightly bound against the body the way it is with regular briefs. This seems to cause fewer irritation than I've felt in the past when I was shaving regularly.

 

And there's always the potential for embarrassment. Being an older guy -- I'm 52 -- I doubt that there many of my generation who would engage in this activity or talk freely about it. And what would my doctor -- a female -- say?

 

Oh well, to hell with 'em all! It's part of sex and sensuality. And those things are healthy for the soul, the spirit and long-lived marriages. I'm all for that.

[Michael 12 16]

I have been shaving my genitals almost daily since 1995, and I don't think I will ever stop.

 

I have had several women give me that "are you weird" look the first time they "saw" me, however, not one has ever complained about how it felt, and of course, they never stopped while in the act of oral sex to pick hair from their teeth!

 

I personally prefer a shaved pussy, it seems to make the female form prettier, and feels much better to me both orally, and during intercourse.

 

P.S. a note to spamcatcher-

 

I'll be 50yrs. old in July, and my doctor is a woman. She has never said anything about my look, I think more men shave this area of their bodies than we think!

[smoothmoves 16]

Ms Smoothmoves and I have both been totally shaved for quite a while now. About 2 years for me, and off and on for about 10 years for her. We both like the smooooth feeling. The entire genital area is more sensitive to the touch, and the lack of hair makes it much more fun to lick and nibble. She says she really enjoys touching my balls, and it must be true. They always get a lot of attention after I shave. Friends we meet have also commented on them at parties and clubs and things.

[LarrySmith 15]

I shave COMPLETELY every time I shower. Once I started doing it daily, the bumps, itching, etc went away.

 

Top 10 list why this man shaves:

 

10) It is a lot cooler in the summer.

 

9) When you wipe yourself after taking a dump, you're no longer grinding the fecal matter into your ass hairs like your loading a paintbrush to paint racing stripes in your underwear.

 

? Can't catch crabs if there is no nest for them to hide in.

 

7) When I get to rubbing and grinding around when I'm fully inside her, the hair used to drag and pull. Not anymore.

 

6) If I want her to, shouldn't I do the same?

 

5) It feels entirely different when she licks my balls and their hairless, or when she tounges my ass and its hairless.

 

4) It looks cleaner. Have you ever seen Ron Jeramy? enough said.

 

3) The hair on both of us used to 'wick' away the juices. Now the juices smear around the bare skin and it's even sliperier.

 

2) It turns her on when I'm shaved.

 

1) It makes it look bigger.

[icanrace 15]

I shave everything every 2 days with shaving creme and a sharp straight razor.

[Maine 15]

I shave. I like being smooth and from past experiences others like smooth too.
