A comment on the WDT by a poster who prefers his cartoon penises hairless (fleafly) reminded me of an interview on Conan where "The Situation" from The Jersey Shore made a comment about shaving his entire body. This made me curious about the body grooming habits of other people. I believe we had a thread about female grooming so let's talk about male grooming. We had the beard thread, now we can have a dick-beard thread (no pictures please). Focus for the men: What kind of body grooming do you perform? I try to keep things under control with some trimming but I don't shave anything completely. If I shaved my pubes completely I would have a bare area next to my hairy legs which would look odd and I'll be damned if I'm going to start shaving my legs. Focus for the ladies: What kind of grooming do you prefer your men to perform? Alt-focus: Tell us your funniest body-hair related story. Did your attempt to use a home waxing kit result in an ER visit and permanent scarring? We'd like to know.
Fuck that. I just hand out toothpicks to the chicks at the end of the night as I guide them to the door. Always did like Bill the Cat. NSFW
Alt-focus: My roommate freshman year was ratted out by a mutual friend that he'd rubbed his balls on some fruit I had in the room before I was about to eat an apple. Accordingly, the next morning I grabbed his beard trimmer after he left for class and went to town. Never quite told him...
I keep myself trimmed as a courtesy. I wouldn't want to go near a bush, and I wouldn't expect anyone to want to touch my junk if there's a massive jungle down there. The below is not a picture. Besides, what's up with the "please use NSFW quotes if you post pictures of yourself"? That shit should be a ban...there are drunk people on this board at times, and no one deserves to drunkenly stumble into a picture of some dude's junk, regardless of how it is or isn't scaped. NSFW I once considered shaving my asscrack (there is an ungodly amount of hair there that occasionally acts as a bit of a shittrap) because just knowing it's there grosses ME out, but then I relaized I'd basically have to set a mirror on the ground and tuck my knees to my ears for an hour to painstakingly do the job without slicing myself a new one. Fuck. That. Besides, anyone who has done the full shave at any point knows the ensuing itch, followed by a week of the most God-awful stubble scratching...I'm itching just thinking about it. Having that feeling in my asscrack? Never fucking happening. I refuse to spend a week walking around on the verge of madness because I have a constant need to itch my asshole.
I shave my sack and trim my pubes with scissors once every few weeks. During the spring and summer I hit up my legs with clippers once a month, so the hair is about 1/2 inch long (my leg hair basically looks like pubes, pretty gross). Nothing too crazy, I'm just not a big fan of having lots of body hair. So basically I'm a man-scaping fag, but I'm okay with that.
Asscrack shaving is for sadists, especially when you can buy Magic Powder at walgreens for less than the cost of a razor cartridge. Anything designed to take facial hair off a black man will handle whatever oldgrowth shitforest you've got.
Here I was, under the impression that the men who shave their legs and genital areas were either male pornstars, gay, or both. I can see an argument for shaving your upper body, fine, but why anything else? If you're trying to impress a girl, I'm pretty sure that if she's fine with you showing your junk, she's fine with hair on it. (Not to mention, some women prefer it that way) If you have some rabid hatred of hair on any part of your body...maybe you're just mentally unbalanced. (like the guy above who was willing to stick a razor up his own ass) Personally, I usually have a beard, occasionally go clean-shaven, and while my legs are hairier than most dudes from the Middle East, my chest has a minimal amount of hair, so I've never had to shave it.
I may be in the minority of lady opinion, but I'm perfectly fine with man pubes and actually find a fully-shaved package a turn-off. I probably wouldn't mind if the guy trimmed it, but I don't think I could tell the difference unless it was an area I was already really familiar with. Maybe it's because I tend to go for a more rugged look anyway. I don't like bears, but I think roughly 95% of the guys I've hooked up with have had scruffy facial hair and they usually have some hair on their chests. Plus, happy trails are one of the sexiest things ever, and if it leads to this bare penis then that's just silly. If I discover that the guy goes completely bare, I get distracted with imagining him shaving it, and that is just a thoroughly weird and unsexy image. (I do not understand the mechanics of shaving a ballsack. How does that work?) Also, it just kind of seems vain and feminine. As much as I find the extent of the insistence that ladies go completely bare annoying, at least I can understand why. When you guys give head your face has to get all up in there. I don't think I've ever noticed if my nose occasionally brushes against pube while giving head, and hopefully I'm not dealing with something so small that face-planting in pubes would be an issue. And it's definitely never been an issue while having sex. (If the girl is noticing the feel of the guy's pubes while having sex, there are bigger issues at hand.) So, it's not like they're attractive or anything, but who cares? I'm aware that it comes with the package. I don't see what the big deal is.
God has not blessed with the ability to grow a beard, only scattered stubble. Therefore I keep my face clean shaven all the time. As for the goods? I do a monthly trim and Im usually good to go.
NSFW for frank discussion about ass hair.... NSFW Im actually with the dude 100% on this one. I have a bear pelt between my taint and the top of my ass crack, I honestly think I have more hair there than I can grow on my fucking face (pathetic really). I mean it's fucking gross to me end of story. I tried shaving it one time, as all guys in this situation do, when I was 17. The stubble fucking near rubbed me raw. Shaving just isn't a viable option. I wouldnt be opposed to getting laser hair removal if it checked out with the doc. I'd have to believe being bare in that area would lessen your risk for a variety of things a large clump of hair would cause. It's a pain in the ass, literally*, to keep it clean. If you're in this situation and haven't switched up to flushable wet wipes, I don't know what you're doing with your life. I'd probably spend 15 less minutes in the bathroom after a buffalo wings night if I didn't have so much damn hair down there. It can't be as sanitary. This is all besides the fact that Im willing to bet money that any girl I was fucking, if asked, would concur that it is nasty as fuck. Has it stopped a girl in her tracks from fucking me? No, but it doesn't mean they found it appealing AT ALL. With as much hate and behind the back snickering thick back hair gets from girls, I honestly couldn't believe this would be viewed any better. It makes me feel bad for a girl just thinking about what it must look like have a big ass crack full of hair in their face when we're 69ing. God help the ones who LIKE to give rimjobs (something Ive never had done and prefer not too really) As for the rest of my body I trim up the groin area to keet fresh and dry, adding a little gold bond for extra menthol freshness. I enjoy BJs above all else and why not keep the area as pleasant as possible for your lady friend? Does any girl dislike this or PREFER all natural? My chest hair isn't that thick and doesn't bother me. I kind of had an Austin Powers penis shaped chest hair thing going on for a while but eventually my hair filled in a bit in my oblique areas as I got older. *ha-chachacha!
Um... what? Honey, if your nose isn't all up in there, you're giving an incomplete beej. I'm not saying deepthroating is my very favorite thing to do, I'm just saying it tends to be a very appreciated part of the package. EDIT: And the stepchildren! Don't forget the stepchildren! If you're giving them appropriate consideration, there is also significant hair-in-nose potential. I will simply say that turn about is fair play. Dudes don't want to floss with pubes and I don't either. Don't go crazy - I think bare sack is sort of creepy - but trim your shit and good things will result. My husband would absolutely verify that he gets more action when he remembers to get out the ol' trimmer on the regular!
I agree that a guy needs to have some hair down there. Mainly because if a guy has no pubes, it makes me feel like a pedophile. But I also don't want to have to find your dick in a thicket of pubes.
I trim my shit for me. Not for her. Nothing is more unsettling than her having to stop because she has to cough up a pube like a cat with a furball. It ruins my moment and just takes me longer to cum all over her face. How do you rate a restaurant when there is a hair in your Pasta Fagioli? Both are sometimes unintentional, but ruin the experience. Sure, it sucks for them when they're coughing like a 60 year old Welsh coal miner because they have a larynx full of pubes, but if they choke and die I'm just gonna finish myself off anyway before calling 911. Calm down ladies. I'm joking. I do it so my cock looks bigger.
I trim, but just reading this thread makes me worried. Why did I even click on this? I now don't want to eat a hot dog or a popsicle for fear the mental damage will become permanent or I will blush while eating it. Only SuperTramp would ask this question of another man.
FOCUS: I trim my hair with a specially designated beard trimmer. Usually on a 2 or 3 length setting. My girl has never stated one way or the other on what she thinks so I keep doing it because I think it looks better. Being completely shaved makes me feel like a 10 year old. Alt-Focus: One thing with having open heart surgery is that you have to be shaved from your chin to your knees. So 5 years ago when I had my last surgery I got to experience the joy of having a guy shave my junk. The only saving grace was that I was doped up.
I've never let my facial hair grow for more than week, as I just couldn't stand it. Though I did get many compliments on the excellent beard I had going after a week the itch and nuisance of having hair on my face was just too much for me. I started shaving my chest with a face razor about 5 years ago, and wouldn't ever go back. I simply look a million times better without a shit load of gorilla hair, and the fiance can't stand the idea of me growing it back in anyway. I started shaving my back in high school, as everyone can admit back hair is not cool. Originally I was small enough and with long enough arms that I had no problem getting all of the back hair with a face razor, but I've since had to upgrade to that really cool mangroomer on a stick you see on infomercials. Not because I'm fat, really. Balls and Asscrack get the regular treatment from a Wahl Hairclipper, with no guard. I cut my ballsack on the damn thing at least twice a year, but totally worth it. Basically, I'm a total mangrooming fag. Which I find a little humorous as I don't bother dressing up or presenting myself in any other fashion. I wear a tshirt nearly 24 / 7 and have never 'styled' my hair in my life.
My usual is trimming with scissors and keeping it under half an inch. I like a neat look. As for "The situation" and the others on the jersey show , my stance with the whole phenomenon is simple : Jersey shore is trash. But it's so trashy, it becomes almost artistic. Hence the appeal.
