My husband shaves everything and trust me when I say...it's for his "benefit" that he does that! Makes for a much more...let's say "pleasent" experience, for all concerned!;):)

Exactly my point. :)

Some good tips, but what about shaving the balls? A blade or waxing is fine for other areas, but I wouldn't dare take either to my testies. How do you shave your sack bare?

I use an electric shaver on the outer region, but I'm too much of a wuss to try anything on my nuts.

Oh yeah, and shaving your area can make your unit look bigger too.

What about shaving the other hairy thing? Now THAT is tricky. Blades and certain electric shavers can be risky when you get the folds of skin cut. Feels like a nice papercut on your brown eye too.

You know, I can "see" how it would induce more women to go down on a clean peter than a buckwheat tree.

Shaving the scrotum is actually very easy. Just shave it as you would anything else.

Waxing the scrotum is difficult because of it's temperature. It has so much blood circulating through it that the wax usually stays too warm to work properly.

Trick for both areas is to stretch it out so there aren't folds. Grab and tug, bend over and hike a leg. Use a good shave cream/gel. :Q

You used a straight edge razor to cut around your frank and beans? That is almost dumber then the act itself!

That doesn't make sense...isn't the scrotum supposed to be a little cooler than the rest?
 

Just use a disposable Bic in the shower. Shave it all the first time then keep it trim from then on. Always shave the ballzack.

I tried today for the 2nd time (did it last summer) I used a Mach 3 Turbo razor with a new blade on it and some Pro Gel or whatever that green stuff is. It seemed to go ok, but it took for freakin ever.

suggestions? flames? thanks!

Heck I use a Braun beard trimmer for that, I got it specifically for that purpose. I just trim it to make the hair short enough, but never shave it. I also use it on my legs, to reduce the amount of hairyness, so to speak. The tip is... never shave it, b/c it would cause irritation and would feel like crap for a few days, just trim the hair. I do shave my armpits completely, though, just like face.

lol, the thought of what I'd look like, standing in the bathroom with my leg hiked up shaving my bush is making me laugh. But hey, I'm all for it if it entices the wife to polish the helmut more often.

If you even contemplate shaving "down there" you're just looking for an excuse to touch yourself or you're a closet fudge packer. What's it gonna be?

If you're asking this question, you're either gay or you haven't had anyone other than you touch your junk.
Or both.
You make the call, fuzzy.

All you have to do is shave in the shower. Lather everything with a bar of soap so that everything is all soapy and slippery. Then use the mach 3 to shave. Pull the twig to make the skin tighter so that you can shave easier. Just shave every few days and you'll be fine. You won't feel any stubble if you shave like 1 a week down there. My GF loves it and I like it better as well. Also, don't comment if you never tried it or talk about how stubbily and itchie it will be if you haven't done it. It's not bad at all, and no, it's NOT GAY, you homophobics!

you shouldn't have a problem. Just use a good razor (like a Mach 3 - I've NEVER cut mysefl with it). Stretch the skin smooth, and have at it. You shoudln't ever have any cuts if you do it right.

this thread demands a related story. very funny, and no i did NOT write this!

*NOT MY STORY*

Friends, Don't Shave Down There!

It all started, as many things do, with me having trouble ****ting. No, I was not constipated; this was not a regularity problem but a matter of technique. It seems my a**-hair had grown to such a length that tiny grogans were constantly getting tied up in the matted jungle between my *** cheeks. It led to much frustration, with me KNOWING that I still had something to drop, but unable to shake the tenacious turd loose from its butt hair dwelling.

Eventually I would have to do two things:

Either reach down with some paper and try to pinch off the lingering loaf (which required careful precision to avoid smearing the creature all over my rear, especially since I had no way of seeing what I was doing) or just go for broke, start wiping, and hope that I could remove all the leftover fecal matter before the toilet paper reached its Can't-Be-Flushed threshold.I was contemplating this problem, when I had what seemed at the time to be a bright idea. "Hey, this is my butt and my butt-hair, right? So why don't I just eliminate all the hair, and then my grogans will flow out like beer from a keg!" I said to myself. It is a statement that will go down in history with a lot of other regretted statements."How many Indians could there be?" said by General Custer. "Looks like a good day for a drive!" by JFK. "There! America On-line now has complete Usenet access!" by some idiot system tech. Such was my anal shaving idea.

I performed the operation that night, with a cheap disposable razor and a towel to sit on. Starting from the bottom, and shaving from the crack to the cheeks, I began the arduous process of ridding my *** of hair. Occasionally, I would have to clean the razor of accumulated hair and miscellaneous slime, which I did by wiping it on the towel.

Slowly, my twin cheeks and the between-ravine began to resemble the hairless mounds of a newborn babe. Finally, I wiped the razor one last time, and surveyed my work. The towel was covered with a pile of hair. My a** was smooth as ivory. I smiled, satisfied, thinking my troubles were over. Little did I know.

I now have a great respect for anal-hair. Like everything in this world God created, it has its mighty purpose in existence. It was only after I had removed it that I started to learn how much I had been taking it for granted. For one, it provides friction. I learned this the next day, when I walked out into the sun heading for class. After climbing two flights of stairs and starting to sweat, I started to notice something unpleasant. The sweat was accumulating in my crack, and was causing the unpleasant sensation of my two *** cheeks sliding past each other with every step. I thought about going to the bathroom and wiping it off, but had to get to class.Eventually, thought, it would dry. Unfortunately, it did dry, but only after mingling with the microscopic ****-molecules lingering around my brown starfish. When I stood up after class, my cheeks were stuck together with a slimy sticky ****/sweat combination. As I made my way back to my dorm, it started to itch.

God-DA*N, did it itch! Felt like a swarm of ants was making its way up and down my crack. Fighting to keep from jamming my hand down there and scratching away, I rushed back to the dorm. Unfortunately, this exertion caused me to sweat, and when I finally reached my room, my cheeks were sliding back and forth against each other like a pair of horny cane-toads. I quickly dropped my pants, and attempted to dry my ass off by sticking it in front of a fan and spreading my cheeks. As I pulled the two mounds of flesh apart, a horrible stench burst free and filled the room. Every dog within a 4 block radius started to howl. I had it worst of all, as the ripe aroma of festering ****/sweat went into the fan and blew back into my face. I fought to keep from heaving. And as I sat there, fighting vomit, my ass cheeks spread and dripping, with the concentrated aroma of my body odor mixed with the tangy smell of my own **** blowing right into my face, I had only one thought: It will be like this until the hair grows back.

Weeks Later on, trying to deal as best I could, wiping my ass at every opportunity, I discovered another wonderful use for ***-hair: Ventilation. I attempted to launch a fart, only to have it get stuck between my ass cheeks. Apparently, with no hair, the two pink twins can get vacuum sealed together, and the result was a frustrating fart that slid up and down between my cheeks like a lost gerbil.

As if that wasn't enough, I am now enduring further torture. As anyone who has ever shaved anything knows, when hair is first growing in, it comes in as stubble. Imagine your ass having the texture of a brillo pad. Well, that is what I am dealing with now. It is a hellish torture, and there are many times when I just look out he window and contemplate why I shouldn't just jump out and get it all over with in one fleshy splat, rather than endure this constant agony.

There is nothing wrong especially if you are a Nancy Boy. I bet none of you guys go to the gym either (or at least shower there)

I'm not insecure, I just don't see the need to be so effeminate. I guess if Ihad a small dick I might consider shaving just to make it look more normal.

How is it effeminate?
Either way, if your girlfriend(s) dig it, why not do it? If my gf says "It'd turn me on if you shaved your nads," my excuse would NOT be "But the fruitcakes staring at my junk in the locker room might get the wrong idea...."

If the guys in the locker room are checking out your package while your showering, I think you've got bigger fish to fry than the hair on your nutsack.

This post should win an award for using 4 slang terms for testicles in one shot.

Well I really don't why I'm getting into this with Red Dawn...but here goes :)

My husband, who shaves everything, goes to gym 4 days a week and showers there. He also has nothing to complain about in the size department! It is just a matter of preference. Some people like to look like hairy beasts other's don't! He shaves for me...I shave for him....one big happy :)

i'd get my ass crack waxed if i didnt feel completely silly asking for it at a salon.


but i do shave my asscrack every once in a while. because my buttcheeks slide together, they tend to grab and drag hairs out, which gets very painful. that's why i shave. i also get swampass, and shaving tends to help that.

i dont shave the front, or my scrotum, mainly cause i'd feel silly doing it. i do trim, though.

Running around like Prepubescent children. Sealy keep shaving, that knowledge is going to power many a Geeks Sexual Fantasy tonight. In fact I bet a few of them hightailed it to the bathroom to rub one out right after they read your post (you know they did)


Maybe I am missing something here. Do you guys have Pubic hair that is like an Afro?Does it grow so much that it obscures your manhood?
