OK, answer me this. Now my experimentation with this type of grooming has been very limited (read: just neatened up the V) but you guy seem to all have agreed that you start with the jumblies and the pole, and usually move up to the abdomen. This is all kosher, but what about where the sun don’t shine? You all seem to stop right there at the taint. Now logistically I’m with ya, shaving ones ass is a hell of a dillema. But from a goals standpoint the first thing I’d think of shaving is my ass. Thats the one place that just looks silly with a thicket there. I’d move from the ass forward and use my judgement as to where to stop from there. Something would just look awry with a slick bald patch surrounded by hairy chest, legs and ass. I think a bald pelvic region would at least be balanced. I guess you guys just weren’t bored enough to do it right. ---

Number of reasons I didn’t shave back there:[ul]Even when naked, that area is rarely, if _ever_ the center of attention, ya dig? I figured the itching, in such a tight, enclosed place (between the cheeks) plus sitting on it…:eek: No thanks. I didn’t really want to, actually. I was kinda getting carried away shaving as much as I did in the first place! I’m just glad I stopped before trying to shave my legs. Some say shaving your pacage might make it appear larger. The last thing I want is for my _ass_ to look bigger. [/ul] ---

The last time I saw thinksnow, I was virtually FELLED by the testosterone emenating from his crotchal region. And the hair on his chest and back just sprouted forth from underneath his t-shirt like he was transforming into the hulk right before us. My husband had to actually hold me back from attacking him right there in the middle of the restaurant, smearing my giant mozzarella sticks all over his sweaty, beast body. 😃 jarbaby ---

It’s true, he did. [sub]But Jarbaby, I don’t have a hairy back!?[/sub] I don’t know _how_ we managed to sit next to each other throught the whole meal without one of us or the other throwing each onto to table and ravishing them for hours to the hoots and cheers of the other Dopers. Odd. ---

I’m one of the few guys who regularly shave ‘down there’ as well. The thing is, I like my men to be as smooth as possible, it is only fair that I return the favor, right? Luckily, I’m not that hairy to begin with, but the ones that are there are really annoying me. So, a few years ago I tried for the first time to shave just the ‘bikini line’ (no, I do not wear bikinis, but I don’t know what else to call it) and went immediately too far, just as **thinksnow** experienced. So the shaft hair went, the balls and the little place between the anus and the balls (always forgetting that word…). And then I thought, ‘I can’t stop _there_! I’ve come so far, I should finish this.’ So indeed, I shaved the complete anal area. It took quite a while as it is not the most convenient region to shave and mirrors only make it worse, but when it was gone, it was a relief. It really felt great to have such a smooth butt and firmly decided that this was the way to go from now on. However, two days later the regret came: the dreaded itch had started. And, as **thinksnow** also mentioned, it is one thing to itch when it is at the front, it is a whole different matter when it is in a narrow environment and the temperature is too high to sit in comfortably. I believe I stayed home form work that day and kept on the couch, to afraid too move. But alas, it only got worse the day after and I couldn’t stay home from work anymore. So I decided I put some lotion between the cheeks, but that was not a success either, as it felt like I had pooped in my pants the whole day. Anyway, to cut a long story short, it was hell. However, as strange as it may seem, I did shave again not too long after that. I really liked the smooth feeling and had a date at that time, so I felt like I had to. I found out that it itched less, and after a third shave it itched less again. The moral? There is none, except that I’m now a frequent shaver and my partners have never complained. Quite the opposite actually, almost all found it quite a turn on 😃 (And here ends the story of Aghris and the razor. They lived happily ever after) ---

I’ll bring the shaving cream, you bring the whipped cream. Towels are for later. 😃 But back on topic, I DID have the dreaded ingrown on the old shaft, hurt like the dickens to free that bad boy, but being the kinda guy I am, a little pain can be a GOOD thing. Vacation last week lent few opportunities for touchups, so I had several days’ growth to contend with last night, no problem whatsoever. Now if I can just get somebody to SEE it! ---
