I’m not talking about models or actors or athletes, I mean average Joes.
I ask as I know a lot of gay guys and they shave but this summer I have seen a lot of guys with shaved chests running around and I never noticed that before.
Or is this a new trend?
What about the pubic areas? I know gay men have been shaving them for awhile. What about straight guys?
I generally keep myself well-shaved, but over this past summer, I’ve neglected and have gotten quite bushy. Methinks it’s time to hit the razor again… thanks for reminding me.
And no, I’m not gay. Not entirely, anyway. I’m just odd.
I’ve only shaved my face. I don’t want to shave my body hair, cuz it would grow back to quickly. IM gonna have to go out and buy some nair or something of the sorts.
OK I’m 12 years old in the California desert its about 105 f the hair is growing in…
It itches really bad …
I get the wise idea of shaving said area , with an electric razor … and then I dry shave the rest …
I’m sweating by now its burning badly what do I do?
I take a handful of old spice and splash it on said area the home alone kid had nothin on that one …
Family gets idea of walking to the local gas/snack mart to get snacks , I’m walking bow legged by this point in the heat totally miserable
step dad asks what’s wrong I tell him he laugh sympathetically and says its going to grow back and itch worse … turns out he had it done in the hospital in a bad motorcycle wreck
it turned out to be the worst week in a half in my life
well ok the worst week after the " i dumped boiling noodles and water down my swim trunks" episode
err i didnt read the whole op the aforementioned horror was my adventure in pube shaving
I should note that not all pube-shaving experiences are as described above. I’ve always found it quite comfortable… just trim the area before you shave, though. Shaving long hairs is what causes razor burn (for me, anyway).
Yeesh, now I’m suddenly feeling all uncomfortable with a hairy scrotum…
My roommate shaves his pubes, and the effect is fairly frighenting.
That guy has got to start wearing shorts around the house!
I recently met a man who shaved his entire body - chest, legs, pubes, all of it. It was cooool.
I shave my fingers. Or more specifically, I shave two of my fingers. For some unknown reason, I have one single hair growing on the back of each of my middle fingers, right below the first joint (counting down from the fingertip). Hmm… I notice they’re getting long again, time for another shave.
I can attest that at least some men who shave their pubes are most definitely not gay.
I’ve known at least 2 guys that shaved their pubic hairs, and neither of them were gay. As far as chest hairs, I know a man (hetero) who doesn’t have very many chest hairs. Occasionally, when he gets tired of the little patch of migrated pubes peeking out the top of his shirt, he’ll shave them.
TMI time.
I had a particular lady once elighten me that oral sex is much less pleasant when the giver has a tumbleweed in their face. What she said made sense, so from then on, I obliged.
The only time I ever shaved my pubes was when I had crabs. Pubic lice are awful, awful little creatures. Yuck.
I personally don’t shave that area, but I’ve found it quite enjoyable to have it done for me. After a few episodes of imitating the cat coughing up a hairball, the wife took matters into her own hands, so to speak, and gave me a good trim to the pube area, and even more fun, a ball shave. It’s now become a weekly ritual that I truly enjoy.
I did, for a time, shave pretty much everything under the sun (the err… regions, armpits, belly, buttocks, but never the legs, for the reason that I’d need a Weed-Eater to do those.). Maybe I’ll go at it again. Body hair’s a pain in the butt, and I live in a humid, subtropical clime…
Shaving anything on self: arrrgh!
Anything shaven on others: ewwww!
I’ve rather reluctantly compromised a bit and shave the cheeks area between moustache and sideburns, and the neck below the beard. These are the most sparsely growing facial hairs I’ve got, and it still takes daily application of the razor, still requires far more attention than I want to give it to avoid raspy little stubblies being left behind (which by evening will be there no matter what).
Female significant others: can’t get herself to quit already with the leg-shaving but she only does it during months when it would show. I keep trying to convince her to bleach 'em blonde if she can’t stand the appearance.
All in all, a stupid & uncouth barbarian custom.
Legomancer: you got scammed by the oldest trick in the book, man!
Studies show that women are more attracted to men who demonstrate an ability to grow facial hair. However, once a lady has her hooks in ya, she wants you to shave off the goat so that you are less attractive to other women.
No, I am not a bitter, cynical man.
I’ve been a regular Nair user down south for quite a while now, first for completely irrational reasons, then for extremely good ones.
I wasn’t talking about facial hair. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
My hubby shaves his pubes frequently. I personally havent got an opinion on yeah or nay. However sex goes more smoothly when I am not doubled over sneezing from a hair up my nose!
Ah, well then, we’re on the same page, Lego. Except that I haven’t been using the equipment.
