"Dressing Your Pubes"

Last week, I was at the gym and just finished my shower after an exhaustive workout. There was a young man, standing before the full length mirror, fully naked, brushing his pubic hair (yes, I looked). This went on for about two minutes, presumably to ensure ever hair was in place. Is this something new that I've missed all these years? Do men actually do this? Just asking.

Probably applying Kwell

I think that even for men, that's bizarre behaviour. I think he was trying to attract attention. I joined a big health club franchise, and during my orientation, the employee pointed out some of the different folks. The gay guys, always lifting weights, What she called the Unibombers, who get closer, and closer to women till they're getting sweat splattered (we're supposed to report them). The posers, who spend a lot of time grooming, and yet we never see them work out.

No, I can't say that I've seen anything even close to that at my gym (YMCA). Did you get any particular vibe from this guy as to why he might be doing that? Or to put it another way: Was he (as suggested), applying something to that area for medical reasons? Or did you feel that he was doing that just so that he would look nicer for his date later?

Grooming of the pubic hair is very common for men who are fit and appearance oriented. It seems to be more common for guys under 30, but older guys do it too. I typically trim the hair above my penis to have it lie flat and about a half inch long. I trim and shave the hair back off my upper thighs and shave the scrotum. When I have a physical coming up, I let the hair grow natural but will comb or brush out any curls. I have never seen anyone do it in public though.

Oh, I keep mine trimmed too. I just think it's really strange for a man to do that in public.

I've kept my publc hair in various states from shaved to full natural. The ONLY thing I've done in public is washing at the gym showers. Shaving or grooming was always done in private - always.

I have seen my husband brush his pubes and his chest hair at home after showering and getting ready for bed, but this guy, doing it in a gym locker room was clearly looking for attention.

Once in his underpants the hair gets messed up anyway.

He's undoubtably gay looking for hook-ups.

Remember that underpants are never a requirement.

Most likely. That was really the gist of my previous comment. Did this guy appear (meaning look, act, talk) as if he was cruising for a different kind of workout?

This sounds like nothing more than an exhibitionist drawing attention to his genitals. Even in the extremely rare case that he was applying medication for public lice or something else, he should have done it at home or a least in a bathroom stall.

When I was a teen I had a membership to the YMCA and I recall seeing a man using a blow dryer to dry off his entire body including his pubes. I wasn't too thrilled seeing a communal hair dryer so close to someone's nether regions...

Not me, but then I've hardly have any pubic hair left after years of epilation.

As weird as I am, I'm calling this guy weirder.

Don't you think the guy is just trying out a new pick-up/hook-up play? Just hoping to attract someone's attention into starting a conversation and if it clicks then leading up to a proposition to have a good time together ...

I'd say it's bold, maybe almost defying social conventions, but not all that weird. Maybe you could say it's a more original approach.

Interesting, but very unusual! ...

this means that he had very long hairs! ...

i never thought something like this! ...

pls give us news about him the next time!

Ciao

I think that any young man looking at himself in a mirror (for at least two minutes! ) and brushing himself is his attempt at his own public service announcement. In a college course, I remember learning that 95% of communication is non verbal. I'm certain, however, that they used a different example.

That is a new one for me. I have seen guys take longer than usual showers at the gym but never this type of grooming behavior in the locker room. I did have a former college roommate that preferred to use a blow dryer on his body than a towel after his shower stating that it was more efficient for the amount of body hair he had. He was very straight, always having sex late into the night with some of the most beautiful women. I was certainly jealous.

I've "fluffed" mine with my fingers on occasion, but it's not when I'm in public (it's for the "benefit" of my wife, though I really can't say if she notices). In public definitely no. I don't care enough. If someone else wants I suppose they can watch me dress - I'm secure in the knowledge that I can politely decline anything further should the need arise - but I'm not going to put on a show for them.

When I was in my 20's and just messing around by myself I would comb my pubic hair out in all directions so that it made it less dense and spread it out. This is before I started trimming and shaving, which started in my 30's. I look back now and kind of laugh at how ridiculous I looked with this huge bush that extended out in all directions. I never exposed myself to anyone after have done this because I would have been embarrassed.

My pubic hair has been long gone (laser hair removal) for several years now and I don't miss it.

I brush my pubic hair at least once a day. I live alone so always done privately. I like the stimulation and it gets the blood flowing in the pubic fat, it feels so good.

I loved to brush the long, dark, pubic hair on my wife and then suck on her pussy lips.

Back when I had pubic hair before I started to remove all of it and keep it nice and smooth, the last thing I would of ever thought about would be brushing or combing it. I would have cracked up if I saw that.

Only thing I like doing with my pubes is shaving them all off - don't like them, and they would grow very long otherwise. 😡

I don't shave them but I do trim them. Otherwise they would be a foot long!

It seems dumb to do when it's just going to get mashed down in your underwear.

It wouldn't be bad if they did not grow so darn long - 3+ inches, they get in the way and make cleaning the backside a choir. For me it's easier and faster to get rid of rather than trim - and if feels so nice to be clean…

Unfortunately men do this. I can't tell you how many times I've seen some dude parked in front of a locker room mirror in the Captain Morgan pose with one foot up on stool blow drying and fluffing his man bush. I don't get this at all.

I'm a quick shower, change out, the door in 5 after a work out type of guy. I can't stand brushing teeth or clipping toenails in a public locker room, let alone a fully nude spread and fluff.

Just my 2 cents.

Do they use hair spray?
