No I haven’t but I understand men get away with a lot more than a woman does. They think nothing of “adjusting” in front of the world.
Had mine shaved once only, when I had a double hernia operation, and I didn’t do it myself.
I’d have to take one for the team. Grumble grumble 
You and me, both, buddy.
I was thinking about this from another thread. Actually, I think it is the natural result of the shaving process for ladies starting with underarms, then legs, and migrating inward as bathing suits became smaller and smaller. Don’t want any of that “unsightly hair” sticking out around the [del]dental floss[/del] g-string. Don’t want a bulge in the panties.
Not sure where the trend for men started, but shaving chests was already a thing - body-building going mainstream? Magnum PI had a furry chest.
I’m reminded of a clip from Howard Stern’s show. He had as a guest a lady who let her father wax her butt. So they did it on the show. He was not trained in any way. So he didn’t realize the experts apply wax and then paper, and use the paper to pull the wax. He was spreading the wax, letting it dry, then trying to dig it with his fingernails to pull it. :smack:
Just how big is your unkempt bush? Or alternately, how small your important bits?
Okay, question. I once had an issue requiring some intervention and trimmed the area with scissors. I was then subjected to a couple weeks of torture as the pointy bits stabbed various places until the hair grew out and those fell out. So, do you have to deal with that? How do you avoid it? Keeping bare would be one way, I suppose, but the back and forth method seems risky.
Well … a little Disney music is probably OK. But, be careful before involving any Heavy Metal or Hard Rock. A friend of mine was once experimenting with a slingshot and nailed me with a hard rock right in the worst possible place.
YOWCH! Best to just leave the rest of the story to the imagination. It wasn’t pretty. :eek:
I shave with minor frequency for convince. Oddly enough, my girlfriend actually enjoys the sensation of pubic hair.
However she does not enjoy how stray pubes seem to get everywhere, so once a month, or maybe longer, I shave em down.
Currently, I don’t. Maybe I live a boring life, but bedroom romance for me never starts with me hearing, “WTF Did You DO To Your Dick And Your Balls!?” :smack:
I’d look her in the eye, tell her that I’ve always enjoyed her acting, ask her if she had a good life & if she has enjoyed it, and then gently break the news to her that we are all a-gonna die.
I don’t know her, I’m not in a relationship with her, and I’m certainly not going to Toro-Mower some poor terrified young woman stranger’s Hoo-Ha just to save the world.
(I’m pretty sure Tony Stark has a suit of armor for that anyway.)
Look, I’m not going to suddenly start this. The day the woman who is at that stage of a relationship with me leads me upstairs and says playfully, “…you know? There’s something I’ve always wanted to try & I think it
would be fun. For me, I have a fantasy… and I’d like to see you to try some shaving” is the day I’ll think about it. Then, with a trimmer, a can of Barbasol, a Gillette Fusion, and a glass of wine,
she’ll show me what she likes & how she likes it.
Waitress…? Hold la Hernia…
I’ve never shaved “down there”.
However, if Jennifer Lawrence asked me to go any where near that area for any reason whatsoever, I believe I’m man enough to grit my teeth and do what needs to be done. Because that’s just the kind of man I am.
I don’t want to lick an 8 yo. I’m just not attracted: I want a woman dammit… And without going into details, physically, the area of interaction is not hairy: We don’t get sore (at least, not from hair) and I don’t get hair in my teeth.
Taking it, I don’t really enjoy oral, so the issue of the original post xxxxx’x xxxx xx.
I do get my face into it: it’s a kinda strange sensation but not unpleasant. I see that the term “mustache ride” has been re-defined to refer to the Blokes moustache! – that’s not how I would understand it… which takes us back to the original post:
I shave my face. My partner doesn’t like the sensation of whiskers here, there or anywhere.
Just an odd info I came upon some time ago.
The custom of shaving nether regions is much older than some posters suppose.
Arab historian Usama bin Munqidh (1095 - 1188) reports this episode, he has heard about from an arab, owner of a public bath in Mara’s.
A christian knight went to the bath and saw that the owner had shaven his groin. He was so impressed that wanted to be shaven and afterwards appreciated it so much that he asked the owner to shave his wife too. So he had a servant go home and bring the lady and stood there watching while the arab guy shave his wife’s privates. The bath owner end his story with this: “he even thanked me and paid for the service”.*
The purpose of this story, in Usama’s book “Kitab al-I’tibar”, is to show how christians had neither jealousy nor sense of honor, eve though they were fierce warriors, but as far as this thread goes, it shows that around 1100 AD, in the Middle East it was quite common for arab men to shave their genitals and that some europeans were experimenting with it.
I don’t have time for a research, but recall reading in a book about some famous prostitute in Roman or Byzantine times shaving her pubic hair.
I would guess that the practice of shaving pubic area is really old: once men started shaving their beards it was just matter of time before somebody started with other hair patches.

How *you *doing?
Well… OK. But just this once.
Nobody’s addressed the question of the “porcupine effect”. Not for shaving, but for trimming.
