I get some kickass tan lines on my legs from my straps while kayak surfing.
You'd get a good laugh if you saw them.

Hrm... sounds like you want it bald? If so, trim then shave. However, I would suggest just trimming with scissors or a beard trimmer.

This thread is hilarious. The thought of shaving my nutsack never even occured to me, and after reading this thread, I still won't do it. But more power to those of you who do. I don't even shave my face, hell, I might only trim it once a week. I guess I'm just lazy. Thank goodness the hair on my face is nowhere near as much as the hair on my ass!

If I did shave, I guess I'd be more concerned with that Indian blanket growing on my ass. There's nothing worse than a case of swampass that lasts most of the summer. I don't know if I could handle the cheeks slip-slidin' away though. That might be too much of a change for me to deal with. My wife likes the hair redistribution on me anyway. For now, I'll stick with trimming the facial hair and nose hair and leave the rest to nature.

Why do so many guys say "I can't believe you'd ever shave that! You're so crazy!" But 3 seconds later they tell their girlfriend, "Shave the bush".

Trimmed or shaved is probably better than nothing in my opinion.

I use the SEIKO FEATHER TOUCH SHAVER.
It's MUCH safer then a blade. And my chick loves it shave. I only trim the top. Them boys are smooth and she loves it.
ezduzit229@aol.com has them for like $50 shipped right now. I paid about $65 when i bought mine and it comes with a cheapo trimmer to trim them bushes.

And to those that wax, what's an over the counter product that works well? I might try it, since shaving is like an every other day chore.

Nair Microwave wax works pretty well.

i didn't know so many guys shaved their pubes, or even trimmed it. i would have guessed a lot more people asking, "wtf? guys trim their junk???" i think this calls for a poll.

first remove the balls from your sac, don't want to shave them off by accident, right? also mach 3 = 3 blades = 3 times the cuts, so kitchen knife would be ideal. stretch out the wrinkly skin so that it feels silky smooth, then pour hot boiling water on sac to open up the pores for easy shaving, don't want the process to be painful now, do you?

good luck, feel free to pm for pics

darn this thread. I decided to shave and now it itches and hurts like heck!!! Plus it grows up too fast. I'm trying to decide whether to just grow it out again or get a new razor blade and shave it closer (old one turned out too dull to get close enough) But if I go that route, I'll probably have to shave everyday to avoid the discomfort.

To those who shave, how often do you have to do it? I know it's different for everyone depending on how fast it grows in by just wanted to ask anyways. Plus, what other options do I have at this point. Only 1 positive and that's that my girlfriend said it felt a lot better without the hair but liked the look of it with hair.

As far as shaving goes.. how in the hell do you de-hair the nut sac...? And how do you make it so it doesnt itch at first, directly after shaving? Trimming the bush itches like a mother!

should i go aginst the grain and how often should I shave again. It seems to grow in at such a fast rate that I'll be wearing out a new mch 3 every day, which can be quite costly.

If I just attempt to grow it back now, please tell me the itching will only last a couple more days and not months and months...

I've seen quite a few men nude, and nearly all of those that I have seen trim at the very least. The majority trim the top, and shave the nutsack. Right now... I just trim it all. :-/

This from a woman... while you may be able to interpolate based on your life experiences how painful you guess it to be, the reality is that it hurts more than that. So there. :p

I suggest that anyone shaving down there consider applying some of that new-ish "Naturally Smooth" (such an ironic name) lotion a bit after shaving. Helps reduce irritation, and with luck, will reduce your frequency. Once you've done it for a while, it should only take a few minutes and cease being a major chore.

Having read the entire thread, I have three things to say.

1) I have never shaved or trimmed below the collarbone - no complaints or requests. I'm just not "naturally hairy" I guess.
2) I've had both shaven and unshaven women - and naturally the former is much preferable to the latter for "certain activities."
3) Red Dawn is going to cost someone their job when they stumble into a thread like this at work.
