From the \*\* Do You Trim Your Pubic Hair?\*\* [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1228285#post1228285) [sub](which this thread is not meant to be, it’s merely my MPSIMS for the week)[/sub] > [@](#): > > **GargoyleWB** > … regrowth is the worst two weeks of pure hell you can imagine, it’s like frisky teething baby kittens are wrestling in your shorts. Kee-ryst! Well, at least I had the foresight to use baby powder this morning. I didn’t think about the itching then, just the nut-sack to leg stickage. I might have to expand my coverage and up the dosage! **Bill** , uh…thanks for the info. Now let us never speak of this again. (Good move on the redirect, too, I’m sure **Porc** didn’t mind 🙂 ) **Jarbaby** , the only way hot wax is getting anywhere near my package is if you are holding a candle in your mou…uh, puss…er, hand :D. **Munch** , I read that this afternoon, but no, I wasn’t referring to that.

Oh, sure- laugh at the idea of boredom and genetalia being a dangerous combination. In small amounts, it’s fine. But let me remind you that syphillus came about from men screwing sheep. Think about how bored and infatuated with your genetalia you must be before you’d decide to avail yourself in such a fashion. Think of all of the marriages and relationships killed by bored genetalia. It’s a dangerous combo, folks. Potentially explosive. ---

> [@](#): > > **Originally posted by Wet Blanket** > It’s a dangerous combo, folks. Potentially explosive. Good lord, man! I don’t know what sort of bored games you like to play with you genitalia, but razors are about the extent of my spicing things up. I agree with you 100% on that “don’t mix genitalia and explosives,” though. ---

Well, I shave fairly regularly. And yeah, you gotta wonder, “Where do I _stop_?” To avoid that particular conundrum, I only shave the scrotum and the few hairs on the shaft. Now, I highly, HIGHLY, **HIGHLY** recommend the Gillette Mach 3 razor. I’ve shaved with other razors, and ya know, that area just about NEVER stops bleeding if you nick it. The three blades on this razor, however, are too closely packed to grab hold of any flesh, so I never even come close to nicking myself. I don’t even need soap and water- heck, I usually just dry shave now. It’s all good. I just realized that the above sounds like a commercial. Probably a commercial on the Playboy channel, though. 🙂 ---

thinksnow…I hope you’re following the same procedure to shave the boys as you would shave your face. Warm water,shaving cream and a nice sharp razor. Like others have said, if you maintain it properly the itching will go away. Or you could apply lotion,or have someone else slowly apply it for you…WTF? Sorry…didn’t mean to start flirting. I already have a post party going and I’m flirting in other threads… I’m a bad bad hardygrrl.🙂 Anyone who wants to model their shaved goodies can come to my party though… ---

Think dude, welcome to the world of the shaven down there :). Just keep up the shaving and you wont itch anymore, even if you let it go for quite a while. And i agree, buy the Mach3 razors. I’ve never nicked myself with one, except a dull one (yeah, i know…). I found i do stop bleeding from nicks if i shave earlier during the shower, and let the water run over the nicks. ---

I went to the Mach III a while back for the face, have three of 'em (one in bathroom for face, one in travel bag, and one for the ex-g/f who quit visiting SoFla {boo-hoo}) so I had a spare to do the boys. Nicks disappear magically. And **porcupine** the thought of you shaving my…err… ummmm… I’ll be right back… need a cold shower. ---

Light itching is the worst this has gotten. Thanks be to baby powder! Having thought about it, looked at it, felt it, caressed it…and whatnot, I’m going along with \ **Porc** s\ idea, and letting the abdomen hair grow back while keeping the rest, as it were, smooth. Actually, after spending the Derby with one guy and 7 girls, I asked a few of the females what they thought of the whole thing (we’d been drinking.) Only one got to see, but she said she thought it was ::eyebrow raised:: “\*Very \*nice.” As Dr. Evil said: > [@](#): > > There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It’s breathtaking.

For my money, guys, I like hairy. Hairy, hairy, hairy. Nothin’ says love like a hairy chest and, er, _other_ things. Something about a muscular, hairy beast-man dragging me off to have his way with me just does me in. On the other hand, if said hairy beast-man _ordered_ me to shave him down there, that might be way cool. And I’d be very, very gentle…! ---
