Pubes.

Let's talk about how everyone grooms their pubes.
I really can't stand having any pubic hair. I shave mine, but I do love a good wax. I would get waxed all the time if I didn't have to pay for it and didn't have to wait for the regrowth. The woman I go to uses some awesome kind of wax for sensitive skin and it barely hurts. She's awesome. I always go for the full brazilian. In the mean time I just shave.
Regarding partners, my current partner shaves as well (just by coincidence) and I don't think I could go back from this. Makes things so much more pleasant.
Speak on it!
I remember at uni we were talking pubes and everyone was taking the piss out of this one guy for trimming his pubes. I can remember being really shocked that they were taking the piss and that they didn't trim their pubes.
I get a bikini line wax and just trim the rest with scissors. I used to shave but I get too many ingrowing hairs. I have shaved all off before but it was too itchy growing back.
I need to get waxed soon.
I shave it all - been doing so since I was 16. I can't stand hair down there....ick. I've never been brave enough to have it waxed though. The thought of letting it grow in long enough for it to be waxed drives me crazy.
But I've never been with a guy that shaves his....never even known a guy who has done it experimentally - not that's admitted it at least. They have so many nooks and crannies - you'd think it would be dangerous.....
I like to maintain the bikini line, and trim the bush; regardless, I always trim. I really can't shave or wax it all....some actually grows on the inner part of the outer lips. My current partner, D, does a partial shave and keeps the rest trimmed as well.
Shaveeee. erryyy day.
I would wax, but seriously, the wait, nothanks.
Half of my motivation to shave is my tattoo, because sometimes it peaks out of my jeans and people are like LEMME SEE.
I love when guys shave <3 Loveee it.
I'm one of those guys. Chest, groin, the boys, all of it. Can't stand the hair. I've been seriously contemplating a Body Bare shaver though, so I don't have to suffer the occasional nick or irritation. Anyone tried one of those?
It's odd to me that men aren't expected to have the same grooming habits. My guy is into fitness a lot; maybe that's why he removes his. Kind of a muscle-building thing. It's weird to me that some guys get flack for trimming. Maybe, like other meticulous grooming habits, it's seen as "gay" or effeminate. Dumb. Well I am quite grateful for my man's habits.
I get so many ingrown hairs and it's obscenely uncomfortable when I do shave that I finally threw my hands up in the air and said "Forget it!" Though I might get a bikini wax one day, but right now I don't care that much (boyfriend doesn't care much either).

I'll be frank since we're all adults.
Lots of guys "manuscape", not many talk about it though..some just around the base, to make themselves look bigger, but it also gets the pubes out of the way so their girlfriends and boyfriends don't get pubes when they give blow jobs. (Almost 100% of guys whom are nudists do this. I've been to clothing optional events.) Many guys, and I'm not sure if this is a gay thing or not, shave their balls too because it looks better and feels better during oral sex both giving and receiving. Personally I like a guy with pubes but appreatiate when they are trimmed some and the balls being shaved is something I could take or leave.

Word. The regrowth from shaving is so uncomfortable, and I don't care enough to try waxing.
I used to find the regrowth uncomfortable, but now I rarely get an ingrown hair and am never itchy. I think your skin gets used to it. I remember the first time was madness.
Thanks for the insight Tweety. :) I definitely have heard of men shaving their balls to make themselves look bigger.
I don't shave anything at all. I enjoy my hair thoroughly!
Dustin doesn't shave, either... I don't think I would like it if he did. I mean, yes, sometimes you get pubes in your mouth.. but who cares? It actually much more annoying when I get my own hair of my head in my mouth which seems to happen much more frequently, especially if my hair is not pulled back during sexy time.
Has anyone seen the curb your enthusiasm that larry david gets a pube stuck around his (i assume) uvula? so great!

*high five*
Same here! I sometimes trim down the bush for special occasions (like for a REPO! performance - costume purposes), but that's about it.
I haven't shaved anything for a while now. What's awesome is that James thoroughly appreciates it and fully embraces being a mammal...he's the first guy I've known well who is totally on the same page about pubes. :)
I actually prefer hairy men, but I keep my bikini area pretty well maintained except when I get lazy
I shave my pubes every now and then.

lol, I laughed at this for some reason. I don't know why.
Lubes, I like chest hair ok, but not really back hair, for example. For men with really nice bodies I tend to like hairless the best. For everything. Shows more detail.
hesp, I haven't seen that episode, but I do know that there are more than a few cases in medical history of women getting a pube wrapped around their clit and then it becomes mummified and falls off. Ha! So bizarre.
I am pretty much a natural girl, being blonde I really don't even have much hair there. My man trimmed his once and I was like, "what the heck? did you do that for me or you?" It didn't make much difference to me.
I have debated doing the full Brazilian thing once just to surprise him. Though knowing him he wouldn't even notice and all the pain would be for naught. Or he might LOVE it and then be disappointed when I refuse to be that high maintenance about things. (not that it is for others, but would be for me)
My first time with trimming was when I had my 2nd Csection (I'm sure they did with my first too but I was too out of it by then). The nurse got my IV started and said "Ok, now we need to trim you up down there" and I was like what the HELL! Not a total shave more like a clippers down to about 1/4 inch all over. My husb left the room he was laughing sooooo hard.
I used to shave every single day, but then got lazy, and stopped. I haven't kept the area shaved for some time now, but I wish I would. I'll start. P calls me a hair ball.
kmk, I hate back hair too!
and if I had blonde pubes, I probably would just let them grow like crazy.
of course, as a job, I'm glad that people love to be hair free.
I enjoy the little bit of fuzz hair in the center of the base of a guys back, otherwise back hair no thank you
My new guy shaves. I reckon it looks quite nice. *shrug* He says I'm a little unusual for not shaving down there. ;D I'm thinking of trying it. I would maaaybe get a wax, but I'm really short of money at the mo. ::)
