Do have a preference? Natural? Shaved? Trimmed? Shaped into a heart or some other design? ---

Natural, unless there’s so much hair that it looks as if a bear is hibernating down there. For the extremely hairy, a bit of trimming is fine. Shaving is a huge turn-off for me. Reminds me of little boys and eunuchs. ---

Trimming. I keep mine in check, so should he. But the whole bald thing weirds me out - makes it look pre-pubescent to me. But YMMV. ---

(male) I have mine to just above where it goes from “slightly fuzzy” to “scratchy” since, presumably, scratchy would be bad, hence, a tad longer so as to be comfortable but not get in the way ---

Trimmed. Enought to get to the good parts. Although I was with a guy who was very big on being (both of us) completly shaven. More sensation. Now, I don’t care that much, inless he’s growing a shubbery down there. But I’m staying smooth. ---

Fluffy and clean. I can stand a whole lotta hair, as long as it smells like soap and not ball butter. ---

Shave the balls and trim the rest. ---

Whatever else – clean. I haven’t encountered anything besides au naturel, but clean is a must whatever the length. ---

Depends of the texture; if you’re wire-like, you might keep it shaved, but just a trim is fine otherwise. ---

Mens are supposed to have hair. Bare = icky/creepy. I have a primoridial attraction to fellows what gots fur. A couple curls out the opened v at the neck of the shirt and some instinct from way back in time wants me to pounce. It’s as well I’m civilized. ---

As long as it doesn’t get stuck in my teeth. ---

Going to go with clean here as well but I prefer it when my boyfriend shaves coz it’s all nice and smooth and it doesn’t catch in my teeth. ---

Agreed with \*\*catsix \*\* and **Freudian Push Up Bra**. Appearance-wise, I don’t care as long as it’s clean and isn’t unruly. When it comes to certain activities, however, shaved balls are definitely a plus. I hate getting hair in my mouth. Even a strand hair of my own squicks me out and I must stop whatever I’m doing until I fish it out. Shaving the balls definitely cuts down on that. ---

Clean and trimmed, that’ll do for me. ---

Clean is the most important thing. I don’t like totally bare at all on guys; I just think it looks really weird. If he has a wild jungle down there that necessitates hiring guides to find anything, trimming is appreciated, though. ---
