Male shaving in the anal area.

I love to get rimmed so I feel it is my polite duty to not be hairy. I to not shave super often but when I do it isn't difficult. I just use whatever disposable razor I have on hand and do it while I'm in the shower.

Brazilian sugaring works really well on the anus. Virtually no "after-effects" and it looks great! Better than shaving, which I did for many years. If you do shave, make sure the area is very slippery and soapy before you shave it, so you can avoid irritation later.

I have tried shaving on occasion, but I haven't really found that it makes much difference to my feelings, and it can result in a bit of stubble. I am not particularly hairy, so that probably means that I wouldn't get much benefit.

I sugar around my anus as well. I started when I had a bout of hemorrhoids and everything I looked at was talking about not wiping too hard (not that I wanted to at the time anyway!). It hurts a bit, but it's much easier to keep the area clean and it also has more sensation during play. I have kept on sugaring that area (I guess it is technically a "crack wax" or something like that) even when I don't have hemorrhoid problems.

@moliere, and @axqr94 I'm with you. I've waxed and used an epilator to yank out all the hairs between my waist and knees so many times that my hair is 99% permanently gone there now. I wish I'd done what @phd did--paid for electrolysis on my pubic and anal areas. The benefits are well worth the time or money to remove anal and pubic hairs. Being hairless there makes every kind of anal and sexual activity feel so much better. It also makes it easy to stay clean.

When I was initially shaving and then waxing and using an epilator on my anal area and adjacent areas, I used a wooden chair. I straddled the chair backwards with my legs spread as far as possible, my cock and balls pulled up on the chair seat, and my hands holding onto the chair back. I pushed my myself backward away from the chair back as much as possible without falling off. This position produced a tight outward stretch of all the skin around my anus, butt crack, butt, inner thighs, taint, and lower scrotum. I could easily reach this entire stretched out area with a razor, wax, or my epilator to get all this sensitive skin completely smooth. I still take a few minutes once a month with my wooden chair to use my epilator on the handful of hairs that are still growing on this part of my body.

I love having my anus shaved as part of preparing me for an anal exam - makes an exam very clinical

I've never had a problem with itching after shaving or hair removal in that area in over 10 years.

I've shaved with razor and soap, which can be tricky and probably will result in some nicks. I've used an electric shaver, with better results, and also a body shaver with even better results. But, I mostly use a depilatory cream, like Nair, which works fine for me, although it is against the warning on the label. I only keep the cream on there for a few minutes, if I begin to feel any stinging, then it's been to long.

Yep. Tried it twice for the smooth skin effect. Nicks in that area aren't nice and are very easy to get (loose, crinkled, thin skin).

If I hadn't discovered sugaring I probably would have never done it again. Definitely wouldn't have done it with hemorrhoids.

Was shaved back there for a few months a couple of years back. I'd been troubled with a heat rash in my groin area and admitted to having a problem to my sister-in-law one day. She persuaded me to let her see it and that led to her giving me a few suggestions of creams I might try. When they didn't seem to be working she again persuaded me to let her take another look then suggested shaving. I was nervous about cutting myself and to cut a long story short she ended up shaving my pubic hair for me. What I wasn't expecting when I agreed was that she would want to shave around my anus but I ended up on kneeling on all fours on the bed while she shaved back there. She would then send me to take a shower before applying a cream she had to area which included where the rash was. Eventually she decided it was easier to shave me in a shallow bath then have me shower off before returning to the bedroom to have the cream reapplied. Yes it did itch in between visits but eventually it worked and the rash cleared up. Occasionally she still asks if I have had any problems and has taken the occasional look but whatever it was has gone. I did like the feeling but haven't attempted it since.

I really would like to remove all of my hair under my neck. However, since we occasionally take public bath in my country, it's hard to exhibit such a hairless body in public as an ordinary (haha) person. So my hair removal is limited only around my anus.

Gallonist, I used to feel the same way about removing body hair, especially when wearing bikini swimsuits in public. I got over this fear and became permanently hairless from the neck down. I love it. Now I even wear daring Tanga swimsuits to public beaches that show how hairless I am. In front, they don't fully cover the skin of my pubic triangle. In the back, they leave bare more than half the skin of my butt, including a good bit of skin only an inch or two from my anus. When I'm wearing my Tanga suit it's pretty obvious that I have little if any pubic or anal hair. In my gym's locker room, there's no doubt about my totally hairless crotch.

I don't know if you've see many photos from nude beaches or actually been to a nude beach. In Florida now, it's not uncommon for nudists, both male and female, gay and straight, to be completely hairless everywhere. I love being completely hairless at a nude beach. Skinny-dipping feels pretty good even with body hair. If you remove your pubic hair, anal hair, and all your other body hair, it feels absolutely wonderful. You should try it and not worry about what people think! Start a new trend in Japan!

WildBill2, because the public bath in Japan is different from the beach, it is impossible to think in the same way. We are totally naked in the public bath. Most of the Japanese are not very hairy, basically the color of the hair is black, so the presence of pubic hair is very visible. Anyhow, I cannot be so courageous.

Regulary my anal area is depilated, using depilatory cream, doing my self facing a mirror or my spouse doing it to me. Never problems because the cream usage.

Try waxing it

I regularly shave my anal area. I prefer it this way - It’s more hygienic and it’s easier to wipe off excessive lube after anal play. I never had any problems with itching, but I might give sugaring a try.

I like keeping my ass clear of hair, and usually sugar to keep it off (it's like waxing but with a sticky sugar paste). I do it about once a month. It makes keeping things clean much easier, and I like the way it feels during play as well. Sometimes the hair around my anus would rub during play and didn't feel so good.

I agree! It can be very unpleasant if hair gets pulled in during insertion.

I shave my crotch and anus using a Gillette Fusion razor and Shave Secret, a clove scented oil that can be found at WalMart. I like it better than shaving cream because:

a. for the front part (cock and balls), it is easier to see where you've shaved and to identify stray hairs.

b. it's easier to maintain a firm grip on the razor - with shave cream, my hands would get slippery when it wiped it away, making it easier for the razor to slip in an undesired direction.

I like having a shaved ass - better for rimming and dildo play, and neater cleanup after BMs.

I shave with a Gillette multi blade razor and regular shaving cream. Never had a crotch itch or any mishap's. I enjoy shaving all around my cock as well as my balls by pulling all of the parts out of the way to both see what I'm doing, as well as to have a tight and smooth skin surface to shave against. I do the same on my anal area, but I can't see down there, so do it by feel. Only about once per week.

By all means keep the pubic area clean of unwanted hair. Great for that clean feeling.

I use an EPILATOR (Emjoi 4 Men) which is a very good and easy to use. The first time that you use it trim your hair as short as possible pull the skin very tight and remove the hair. This time will be the hardest because the hair is still full size. After a few uses the hair becomes thinner and thinner in time it will almost go away. I epilate about once a month over my whole body it keeps me smooth and it isn't much work at all.

I find it a simple procedure in the shower. Simply soap up my anus and slide a multi blade razor, with an aloe lube strip, down to my hole and shave away from it. It does a nice job. Unless you approach it as a fun kink my motto is the KISS principal.

I have tried to do it a few times with a blade razor but always get a rash that bothers me for 2 to 3 days, now I get a friend of mine to shave with a electric razor like the barber shops use and I have had no problems.

Most of the time I use a electrick beard trimmer, for the long hair. The use shaving cream and a safety razor

When not rushed I like to use shaving cream and a safety razor. However when rushed I use Nair or similar. Enjoy reading the other posts as I got other ideas to try, which might be much easier. I have little hair to begin with on my body, so it is easy to stay hair free.

I regularly shaved my anal area in the past but switched to sugaring a few months ago. I go to a waxing studio to get the hair removed. The first time was a bit unpleasant, but totally worth it! The skin gets perfectly smooth and you don’t have to worry about regrowing hair for a couple of weeks.

I found this one. Have not bought it yet, but I'm going to. What it says about it sounds very good. "Painless shaving" Translated from swedish it says "No more painful or bad-smelling shaving methods. No more cuts, shocks or burns

I definitely prefer waxing over shaving. This way I don't have to shave every day and the hair is gone for about 6-8 weeks and it grows back thinner. I don't like shaving that particular area personally because I break out in an itchy rash due to sensitive skin. If you do wax for the first time, get it done professionally and ask for the male brazilian wax, but ask for between the cheeks waxed too. Also I recommend exfoliating the area first with a product such as Biore charcoal scrub before the wax.

(Some places automatically do this, others don't.) An average price is approximately 70 USD, but if you want a more permanent solution get laser hair removal. It does take longer and is a little more painful than waxing. I don't know the price for that. And if you ever do get a rash or redness, apply a cream such as Desitin to the area to get rid of redness.

My bf has always shaved or we have shaved each other including around and the anus. I talked him into get it waxed since I do mine. He tried it once I can’t get him to do it again he said it hurt too bad. I told him I get get easier each time but he went back to shaving maybe one of these days he will try it again.

I hope he does try it again @JaniceH, being waxed is amazing. Maybe if you promise him something if he does it again, some kind of reward? A long ball-sack licking and rimming session now that he's smooth?

I always prefer the use of depilatory cream, made on myself in front of a mirror, or done by my spouse. Days after days, so much softer than shaved with a razor, less pain and irritation than waxing.
