A Question for those that shave or trim their pubic hair

I was wondering for guys who shave or trim their pubic hair if they feel a need to cover up when in situations where they are naked in front of other men- like a gym locker room/shower area?

If so why?

And were you more comfortable showing yourself to others before you started manscaping?

I regularly keep myself trimmed, getting rid of all of the hair on my cock and balls and keeping a patch of hair right above that area. I'm fine in the locker room and shower and don't feel the need to cover up or be ashamed of how I look.

I have no hair from the top of my pubic area to mid thigh. I have no problem showing it anyone. If anything I was more bashful with the hair.

I used to be very pee shy too. no longer.

I will respond to my own question.

First off I have no pubic hair. I used to trim and shave but it left me with irritation and razor stubble. So I made the decision to have laser hair removal. I now have smooth healthy skin with no hair.

The situations where I am naked with other men has been in gym locker rooms. I don't know any of these guys because it is a large gym (LA Fitness) so I am somewhat anonymous. I do get completely naked for showers but I do loosely hold a towel in front of my genital area when walking from locker room to shower room. So if you look, you can see that I don't have hair. Basically I don't walk around completely showing myself- some guys do but most don't. And when drying off in the shower area I am openly visible.

So do I feel a bit uncomfortable showing others I have no hair- yes. But over time I am becoming more comfortable or at least don't mind if other men see me completely naked in the gym setting. Interestingly, if I ever went to a nude beach, I would be completely comfortable walking around in full view. So the setting / situation does impact on how I feel in terms of revealing my smooth genital region.

I have always trimmed my bush, oftentimes completely shaved it off. At the gym, no one seems to care, much less notice. I would say about 20 percent of the men in the locker room have shaved their pubic hair to some extent; I don't think it's a big deal, and frankly none of the business of the other men.

I'm shaved and don't think twice about showing it in the locker room. It seems that it is becoming much more common. I am a nudist, and at resorts and beaches I would guess more than half of the men are shaved. The appearance of my cock and balls frequently results in questions in the sauna or steam room which leads to a discussion of the merits and how-to's.

I regular shave all the hair off my cock and balls but leave some of the bush above. Just keep it in trim. I've never been shy letting others see me in the locker room. I think most of the guys at my gym seem to do some manscaping.

I shave by balls and keep them smooth. I do not give a hoot about what the guys in the gym think about it. If they are that interested in my balls, well I am not adverse for them to take a real close look if they want to! I leave the hair above my cock pretty much alone, clipping it for length one in a while. My wife likes my smooth balls and says that the hair above tickles her face.

I have no pubic hair. Keep mine shaved from the top of my mound right back just bihind my hole. If it gets a double take on the beach or where ever, thats fine, I could really care less. I keep it bald for myself. I love it!!

I am shaved smooth from my nose to my toes. I have never worried about others seeing my shaved body. in the dressing room at the pool you will see the gamut of pubic hair styling in the showers. I don't consider it a big deal.

I keep my balls and dick shaved completely and have done since I was 18 when my then girlfriend said she would give me a blow job only if I was smooth. I found I liked the look and have kept it that way ever since. I'm not shy anyone else seeing my manscaping in the changing room at the gym and don't care what anyone else thinks.

I usually shave balls, shaft and above but leave a strip which kinda joins up with the hairs going from chest to belly. I have no problem in getting naked in front of others - happens often when I get to play at my local swingers club and no longer care who looks. It took me a long time to lose my self-consciousness and accept myself for what I am. I've never had any negative comments so I can't look half bad!

I don't feel the need to cover up, but I did feel more manly before I started manscaping. I feel less manly now.

Lots and lots of guys are smooth, these days. I've never felt any awkwardness in gym showers or locker rooms. Usually, several others also are smooth. I remember, once, a few years ago, in a sauna some guy asked me how I shaved. He was quite hairy, and said his hair grew back in too fast, he'd have to be doing it almost everyday, and didn't have the time, but he wished he could.

NOPE. I was shaved all the time way before it was the in thing.

The Y shower [ no joked please] Nude beach. It my cock and I don't like pubic hair.

I dont shave, ive never got the hang of doing it effectively, but i do trim short with clippers,

i dont cover up at the gym, swimming pool or sauna, i like people to see me,

i dont care for the prudish behavior of today, kids are going to have body dismorphia problems if they hide away in cubicles instead of open changing rooms and showers, by not seeing other real bodies they will think air brushed models are normal

I don’t feel uncomfortable and I don’t mind others seeing me naked. Therefore there is no need to cover up in the gym shower. In the public sauna, the majority of men are shaved anyway. That’s at least my impression.

Manscaping the center zone makes it have a better appearance, but beauty is in the eyes of the owner. Not into a shaved back side. I’m not that harry in that zone.

Towels are for sitting on in the steam, dry sauna and for drying off. Wrapping that thing around the waist is unnecessary. No one has anything that everyone has not seen before.

I shave my balls, and the base of my cock. I trim around it also, using a #2 or #3 guard on the clippers.

I used to go a gym every few days. Never really cared who seen or didnt.

Like many that replied on this thread, I’ve shaved my shaft and scrotum completely for many years-way before it became a “norm”. A few instances in my younger years, as a reciprocal practice with female friends into massage and erotic shaving. I use a beard trimmer to keep the remaining pubic hair at about a 1/4” length. I routinely visit a large health and fitness club three or four times a week, I notice a few guys trimmed and partially shaved, many more au natural.

No need to cover up. I’m happy with and proud of who I am and how I choose to present myself. If anyone has an issue with that, that is their problem and none of my concern.

I shave off all the hair at my pubic area, cock, and ball sack. When I am in a gym locker room, I will admit that I am a little bit self-conscious about being completely shaved. Although, I am in the locker room to change my clothes and am not there with any intent to have other guys see my dick. I don’t stand by a locker facing in to the room so that every guy can see my sex tool, and I face the locker just keeping to my own business. If another guy does see that I am totally shaved, then it’s OK because I doubt he would say anything to me, and I really don’t care what his thoughts are of me being completely shaved.

Through the process of permanently removing all of my pubic hair, probably more than 10 men and women have been intimately involved with my now hair free condition. Right now I'm proud of it and I could care less who see it. I have not had a bad reaction from anyone that I have noticed. For me, completely smooth is best!

I shave my scrotum and the area around the base of the penis. I trim the pubic bush so that it is flat with the abdominal wall. I do not cover up when I undress at the gym since most of the appearance oriented men under 50 do the same sort of grooming.

It's nice to see this thread that I started a few years ago is seeing new life.

Since posting in 2016, I now have had a few years of experience in the gym completely hairless. As I mentioned in 2016, I don't parade around displaying myself- I am completely hairless head to toe after laser hair removal. And I can say that I have never been asked by one guy about my bare look. Other guys who are bare and do show themselves do seem to notice, but we really don't engage in any conversations about pubic hair styles or lack there of.

As many have reported in this thread, it's no big deal. You don't have to feel any embarrassment or be self conscious about your choice of pubic grooming- OWN IT!

Frankly, I don't think anybody cares or gives it much thought.

I have kept my body smooth for many years. It all started when a adult wanted to roleplay with me as a much younger guy & I instently loved it & keep myself smooth. I LOVE the look & fel of being smooth and feel that its cleaner.

Since some years my pubic hair is completly shaved. I have no problems to show it or getting naked in front of others. So i do not cover in lockerroom, gym or public showers. Some men are shaven, trimmed oder unshaven and the most oft them do not cover. I do a lot of sport and i think ts cleaner and looks good when it ist smooth.
