Shaved or natural?

[+ glennnn]

I'm sure this thread has been discussed before, but this might be a slightly different take on it. Do you find you are getting more tolerant of the look of a shaved groin and balls? One of the things I longed for as a pubescent boy was the hairy crotch of a grown man, both for myself and in my anticipated sex partners. The guys in the locker room with a treasure trail commanded my attention, because they also had a fully grown cock. Hair= bigger dick= sexual maturity = woof!

 

Seeing the shaved hunks on sites like Sean Cody was somehow disturbing at first. Were they really old enough to suck and fuck? Was I turning into a pederast?

 

Now I'm seeing the beauty of a bare cock more, since so many are on display. What's your take? Is this look becoming more acceptable to you? Would you (do you) shave yourself? Is this a new standard of male beauty and hygiene, or just a passing fad like growing/shaving a beard?

I hope it's just a passing fad. It looks completely wrong to me.

Shaved balls & ass are fine especially if you like sucking balls & rimming but shaved pubes? NO! Trimmed is fine but a good bush is soooo sexy!

I'm ok with it totally gone on just a few very special "mature" guys. if on a twink it is a total turn off (but I'm not into twinks to start with.) There are also some mature guys who are light skin, blondish and who don't have much to begin with - they are still a turn on, even if they get rid of what little they have.

I DO like the shaved balls - nice and clean to suck and play with, same with a cleaned up asshole (pardon my French).

I make sure to clean up both of my areas (I use Magic). I do leave the rest in place but trimmed/occasionally a bit modified because I get frequent ingrown hairs and they can be quite painful.

It's not a deal-breaker, but it's definitely a bit of a turn off.

Men have hair, boys don't.

This occasionally becomes a topic of conversation on "clothing optional" beaches like the ones at Cape Canaveral National Seashore in Florida. (For example, at Playalinda's infamous lots 13 and 12, the single guys... gay, bi or bored with their wives at home... tend to gravitate to one section and sometimes pay the extra two dollars for a backcountry pass to the wild blue yonder of fun-fun-fun, the hetero couples tend to occupy the middle portions since anything they do won't get them arrested for indecent exposure and the homophobics who don't want any other dudes looking at them while they tan out their asses occupy the other extreme. Just go to where you will have the most insightful discussions.)

 

In a nut-shell...

 

Many between 18-40 and shave are going through a "Gothic" stage. Likely they will also sport tattoos and piercings.

Many between 40-65 and shave mistakenly believe that Just For Men might make you itchy down below. It does not. Trust me.

Many between 65-90 (and there is one 87 year old I have met who still looks young for his age and has no shame to his game) usually have been hanging at the beach so long and have tanned so much that you don't notice one way or the other at first.

Also some shave because they think their manhoods look... bigger.

To each his own.

 

Personally I like smooth buttholes, and a trimmed bush.

Which is also my preference. Glen was talking specifically about a shaved bush.

This seems to be a discussion focused on genitals, body front, and adjacent surfaces.

 

Is that to be taken to mean that back and arm hair are beyond the pale? Even "dads" in porn seem to remove back hair. My options would run from the irritating (Nair) to impractical (shaving) to the inconceivable (waxing), so I'm curious.

 

I don't plan on doing anything about it, but it is good to know how others see you.

I like neatly-trimmed.

I'm sure there are people out there who like back hair, but I don't know any. Having your back waxed is excruciating, but there is an electric shaver with an extension handle that does a decent job removing the hair from those hard to reach places. It doesn't get you as smooth as a razor shave, but it removes the visible hair and you don't get stubble when it starts to grow back.

I have posted before that I have used MAGIC for years - back, upper arms, balls, ass. I have never had any irritation.

Plus, on occasion that I need it done, it's nice to have someone to 'smear on - smear off in the shower'!

Every opinion is one of personal taste. Many men prefer their women to be shaved, even down below. Some men are turned on by hairy arm pits on a woman. Hair on a man's back is no biggie.

 

Back in 1942-43, it was considered quite masculine in Italian movies at least. Here is a clip from the classic Ossessione. Not that matinee idol Massimo Girotti had a lot. Note how satisfied SHE is.

 

 

Sorry this has nothing to do with shaving the pubes. Yet it was still fun inserting a black and white movie clip into this thread.

No irritation and no complaints!

When I'm going to have sex I trim my balls and pubes. I feel it makes the "sucking" of my dick a more pleasurable experience and I prefer it as well. But I like public hair and an "ass" to be natural. I've adjusted over the years.

A very specific answer to my question. Thanks!

Natural

[samandtham]

For the groin, I prefer it to be trimmed as close as possible, so every three days I do one pass with a Norelco OneBlade. I don't like the shaved look on myself, because it's only nice on the first day. I've been with a few guys who don't seem to mind the upkeep though.

 

I shave the balls though. I hate all that wayward hair.

Years ago a friend of mine explained that he shaved his pubes because he was tired of getting them caught in condoms. That made sense to me.

[Mydavid]

I'm uncut. And it makes me feel annoying when the pubic hairs go between my glans and foreskin. It usually happens in the morning. I guess I get hard in the evening and the hair is stuck there when my penis becomes soft.

I know it might be because my penis is short, alas...

Does Magic burn your balls like Nair does if you leave it on too long?

What is "Magic"?

[+ Funguy]

Magic is a cream hair remover originally developed for African American men to eliminate the "shaving bumps" they get on their neck from actual shaving. Smear it on, leave for 7 minutes (label says 4 I think but after 20 years, I find that 7 works for me) and wash off in shower. Always do a test spot if you are new to the product.

Great on balls and ass, too. If you are doing much of your body, do it by areas. Sometimes it can feel funny if you do everything at once. I do back, ass cheeks, upper arms, upper legs, and the areas mentioned above. Once a year I do my chest and abs if I see some ingrowns coming on. Also if I am going to the cardiologist and having an ECG done - there is more than enough hair that I look moth-eaten afterwards!

No. And get the one that has aloe in it! I sometimes leave it on even 10 minutes before i start to get rid of it. By the time it's all gone, it may be up to 10+ minutes. I remove it in the shower, esp. if i have someone to "help" me with my back side.
