How & how much do men shave?

Used to shave regularly for many years, then pretty much from laziness and time involved switched to very short length using a trimmer.

I think shaving is silly, completely silly, unnatural and going for the porno look. It's looks good when you first see porn but eventually one matures and realizes that looking like a mature adult is sexy, and that the maintenance required to keep it up is just annoying.

Hair follicles are the source of stem cells to repair surrounding skin damage, so don't kill 'em anywhere, or you'll be unhappy later.

I only shave the hair that grows on the shaft. Doing so makes it appear longer, and I normally only do this at the beginning of the relationship, until she realizes my skills don't depend on my length or girth. So we all give in to society's pressure in some ways, but I make society bend to my will, eventually!

The secret to painless shaving with razors is to shave a little bit each day. I read on soc.sexuality.bondage-bdsm a post that mentioned using iodine when you do a complete shaving session with your slave.

My preference for me changed over the years. I started out trimming. Then I would shave the out sides of the pubic hair leaving a V over my penis. Then I noticed that shaving left my skin irritated and the nubs were quite harsh feeling as the hair grew back- I would only stay smooth at most for just one day so I was shaving all the time which just increased the irritation.

So I made the bold decision to have laser hair removal and had it all taken off. I am now completely smooth and have healthy skin- no redness or ingrown hairs. At first I thought maybe this is going to be weird but I quickly got over it and now can not even think of having hair in my pubic region.

I ended up not stopping there and decided to remove all the hair from the shoulders down. I was not a real hairy person but I had some hair on my chest, back, arms and some on my legs. I have worked out my entire life and I feel good about my body and its appearance. I definitely like having silky smooth skin all over my body and not seeing any hair on it. My wife at first thought it was going to be strange but now she loves it. I definitely made the right decision for me.

I vary in interest and motivation. Right now, I'm bushy. For many years, I trimmed. After a groin prep for a cardiac catheterization, I maintained myself razor shaved from belt line to mid thigh, hip to hip and back to anus. My partners at the time liked that but it was a lot of work to maintain without stubble.

I am hair free from my nose to my toes. I don't have much body hair except for fire arms, legs and groin. I just shave with a multi blade razor in the shower. Just part of my routine now.

About 1/4" subble for me, but the crack and sac are sugared.

Shaving preferences vary so much. They are like working in the men's underwear department in a clothing store. You can see all sorts of different selections, and can't predict who will buy what brand, color, style, or even size based on his waist (some buy way smaller than they should, clearly wanting to have a bulging packing, and others go the other extreme of way too loose, which must result in a saggy ass syndrome!). For shaving, I've seen above the penis shaved, below all hair. I've seen below the penis shaved, but above all hair. I've seen all hair trimmed finely. I've seen completely natural with no shaving. I've even seen designs. It's like the underwear thing...fun to see what is under the zipped up pants.

I'm probably the barbarian here, but I shave only my face. Reason? I tried shaving my genitals, and my poor wife suffered for weeks. I think my genital hair, when shortened, could be tipped with curare and used as blowgun darts. I'm considering an eBay auction..

I've waxed the works but it is hell getting wax off my balls. So now I use an electric epilator. It works much better though there is the occasional ingrown hair to deal with but the smooth look and silky feel is appreciated -except for folks who love the natural, hairy look.

The first time I shaved I was about 16...a single edge disposable razor, bar of soap, no experience...it looked pretty awful but I loved how smooth it felt. I have tried waxing periodically and besides the slight pain (which I like) and the intimate nature of the procedure (which I also like) I have found it wanting. It is the bumps that show up 2 days later...even with creams and such to keep the skin moist, they pop up. So shaving has always been my favourite. I like the ritual of the cream or gel, a nice fresh Mach 3 blade...etc... I have been shaving now, stem to stern, so the speak, for almost 40 years. Not being a hirsute person helps with my 'toilette'. Recently I have begun shaving my legs and armpits and chest because I have been in sissification training with a Mistress. Publicly, I have noticed more and more men who obviously shave their legs, or wax them. Like hairstyles, much of this is a fashion trend.

I keep myself shaved from my belly button to my arsehole. Feels good and my wife likes it.

I suggest you try a Brazilian technique called sugaring. The sugarist removes hair, very little pain, and almost no ingrown hairs if you exfoliate a couple times a week. I have my pubes, cock, balls, taint and asshole done every four weeks. Barely any regrowth and no shaving necessary!

I’m not a fan of pubic hair so I shave mine regularly in the shower. I also shave my chest/stomach hair. I’ve gotten Brazilian waxes before and didn’t expect to have my balls or crack waxed, but after having it done, I now love a smooth crack!

I have to shave every couple months, most of my body, just to keep the fur down as you can see in some of my pics, I envy guys that have very little hair. I don't like even shaving my face, just a pain in the ass and feels like a waste of time, but I don't like looking like a street bum either.

My first time shaved was when a Then GF asked me to. Not sure early 20s. Made me feel very naked.

Then latter on with my first wife I was hairless all the time. And still am

I shave. Couple of times a week . Never wanted to but had extensive bladder and prostate surgery. Leaving me with. Leaking problems .. I was getting a lot of skin irritation and my female doctor said. Try shaving yourself it will be easier to keep yourself clean. Ten years later no irritation . Best decision. Of my life .

I shave, regularly, primarily for comfort. Playtime doesn't seem to mind either....

I had all the hair below the neck IPL removed almost twenty years ago. Almost all of my play partners like the smooth look, and the skin is much more sensitive to touch.

So I decided to try waxing. I had been trimming everything below the waist with those little electric clippers but had read here about how nice a waxing turns out so decided to take a crack at it.

Hair was about 3/8" long and I figured I'd start on the patch above my penis. Wife said she "had to be there for this" and helped me get going.

Well, h-o-l-y sh-t! That's some rough stuff. Pain, bleeding. I only got about half that area done and had to quit for the day. I'm gonna give it a day and get back to it but man, that was something I was not expecting.

I thought wax would be an easier way to get my bag, since the clippers like to pinch loose skin, but I don't know now.

Laser or electrolysis! you'll love the results

If you are sure you want your pubic hair gone for good, then definitely search in your area for a laser hair removal business. Do a search for the one that combines the best reviews with reasonable pricing. There can be a big cost difference in treatment plans. You will need to go at least 8 times or more (about 4-5 weeks apart) for treatments. It won't kill every hair, but it will reduce it down to almost no hair and what's left will be fine and not coarse. I use a dry razor about once a week to get the small hairs left which doesn't cause any irritation. The newer lasers don't hurt (at least it did not hurt me) and can sweep across an area so a treatment session doesn't take that long- a pubic area would take about 15 minutes if that.

I love the feeling of being smooth and having healthy looking skin with no irritation or redness. I feel like sex is better because you feel so much more having exposed skin vs. covered with hair. Getting rid of my pubic hair was one of the best decisions I have made.

Man has evolved through many 1000 years. Body hair lost the primary purpose.

Now is only in the way, it has not any sense. If you are not fetishists for hair, then is another story.

I prefer male or female body without hair. All my partners, They have no body hair. Some did not have any hair when we met, some had when they came, but they did not when when they left. I enjoy to shave or make man or female hairless in many ways. Nude body is softer, more comfortable to play, cleaner, easier to wash, enjoyable, aesthetically nicer.

If you are in dilemma, answer the question:

What you do when a hair is in your mouth, .....me too.

I LOVE a man w/ a hairy chest! It's not a deal breaker if he doesn't, but I do like it if he does. I don't like hair on the face, in fact it's a deal breaker if he has a beard or 'stache. I don't want a shaven groin but if he looks like ZZ top down there, then by all means, do trim.

I love a guy with a beard Idk why, but I do. LOL! Some men rock a beard and it's an added blessing/need it.

@Miriamvee Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You are so right about the purpose of body hair being lost through the ages. Fortunately for me my body hair is minimal. Hairless anus, legs, abdomen, and chest. I shave what little underarm hair I have. My pubes would be hirsute if I let them go. I couldn't shave so I trimmed them for many years. For some time now I exfoliate them with depilatory cream. I want my sex partners to be hairless as well. I do not want hair in my mouth either.

I clean shave (bald) from my nipples down to my knees every week, front and back. I use an electric clipping machine for most of it but i use a disposable shaver for my bum/anal region.

How to you reach your back? That's a problem for me. I'm hairy like a bear, and my gal will do it for me, but getting our schedules to mesh isn't that easy...

I've had 3 or 4 Male Brazilian from professionals and I can attest that the patch right above the penis is by far the worst. The rest of the front, including the scrotum is tolerable. And I absolutely love getting waxed between my butt cheeks.

As a late teen I knew a lot of older nudist males that were full shaved.

I thought it was such a lovely look I started shaving myself from a very early age, soon after I started getting hair.

It always seems to me to make you look even more nude, and even now at a much older age I am proud to go to the nude beach fully smooth.

Where I am I know some nudist males (and females) who have effectively never had pubic hair, shaving or waxing from their peach fluff days.

No doubt that I will be in the minority on this one. I prefer my natural body hair and I prefer men with natural body hair. I am not opposed to trimming but like a man to be mostly natural.
