Well I do. I use scissors on the bush until its about 5mm long, and then a razor on the scrotum to make it totally bald. Its great, it adds at least one inch to your penis length. ---

The importance of penis legnth (& girth) is in the…experience, not the visual! Us wimmins are not visual types; in general we tend to be a bit more tactile. 😃 Having said that…No. I shave it all off. ---

You bears. I swear! I give myself a haircut downstairs from time to time, but as that region has not had a lot of traffic lately, it may be a little overgrown. Hi Opal! ---

Shave it regularly (weekly) so that new friends can see the tattoo more clearly. ---

So, I guess I’m done posting for a while, since Bluebear is not at home right now. Why, what’s the matter, **UncleBill**? Jealous? 😛 ::saunters off, pretending nonchalance, not noticing the slight drool at the corner of her mouth:: [/hijack] Please excuse the interruption, **Dave**. Carry on. ---

Ever since a woman explained to me _why_ I should, Oh, Yeah. Now I like it that way and can’t believe I used to let it go wild down there. ---

Not only do I shave my netherhairs, I save the clippings in little paper baggies in my attic. No, they’re not for sale. ---

As evidenced by [the Brazilian thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=59951) and countless others, there are clearly two different species of dopers. The ones who never do extracurricular grooming and those of us who couldn’t imagine _not_ doing it. I prefer a routine of using Nair about every other week or so with a every other day touch-up with the electric razor in the interim. I’ll use a regular razor to tidy up anything not covered by the nair. I prefer mostly smooth with a little landing strip in the middle. 😃 ---

I’ve been debating this very subject for a few weeks now. Should I or shouldn’t I? I would be interested in hearing the pros and cons so to speak. Anyone have an educated or just plain opinionated thought? All views welcome - well – that is… aw damn - you know what I mean. 😉 ---

very trimmed bush, and shaved scrotum. It’s more aerodynamic and looks better with the piercing. ---

After she asked (specifically about the scrotum area) and I replied, like you, “Why should I?” she says, “You get a much better blow job, if you know what I mean.” I shaved that night. 🙂 And now I think, kinda like **Turbo Dog** , that, despite not being pierced myself, it looks much better.
