We were talking about it today after the other thread about shaving your balls. She shaved hers smooth tonight for the first time. I must admit, I really like it. It makes going down on her much more enjoyable for me. Never realized how much the hair got in the way. We are still debating whether or not to mow my lawn or not. Im not a very hairy guy, so I think it would look all right, but we are thinking 2 shaved “its” may produce some sort of rug burn or something when we hook up. Any thoughts on this? I dont wanna lock myself out of enjoyable sex for 2 months while it grows back. Also, I am wondering if it will make it look longer without the hair. I am thinking it might. Most of the new porn kings are shaven. Maybe thats why they look so big. ---

Nice, ain’t it? 😃 You just have to keep it touched up every couple of days to avoid that “rug burn” feeling. ---

You should go for the shave. Mach 3, nothing less, Don’t stop if you’re stubbly. Bad friction. ---

Yeah, I really like hers. I thought it would be wierd looking, but I really liked it. She says she can feel more when im down there now. I am not sure if I should do it though. That is the question here. We are afraid that there will be bad friction if we both have 5 oclock shadow so to speak. ---

Posted this in the other thread, and then I saw this one so I will post it here as well. Two shaved peoples make lots of suction. Sensitive areas to watch are where your elastic by your crotch is. When that stuff starts to grow out and the elastic rubs against it, boy look out. Oh, and if she is like I and doesn’t wear undergarments, she might want to go to a thong to stop the jeans from rubbing the front wrong. Damn, I think I know a bit too much on this subject it’s almost scary! ---

A Mach III and a regular Sensor (or Sensor Excell) will do you fine on the straight and narrow, so to speak. Do stock up on the baby powder, that’s my key word of advice. It helps with the friction/lubrication and, well, it feels good. [sub]PS: Merc: \[/sub] ---

I’m not shaved, but this girl I was with was. We actually talked about this ('bout me goin nair as well), and I mentioned the rug burn factor to her. She said doggy style should alleviate any concerns about that. Surprisingly, she was right. 😉 ---

Well, I think I am gonna give it a go. Its only hair, so it should grow back right? How long does it take for ball hair to grow back to its former length? Ill let you know how it goes. Its gonna take me a while to shave the whole thing 😃 ---

You’ll have reasonable stubble in a matter of days. I’ve been trimming mine pretty regularly since I shaved, so I don’t know how long it would take for full re-growth, but figure a month or two, depending on your original shock of curlies. ---

I kept it that way for a couple weeks which was ok, as long as you touch up every other day but, I didn’t like the whole thing shaved and during the regrowing process it itched for at least a week.
