    Dye'n It
    Used to dye it all the time befo I decided to go totally shaved. Just get a box of hair dye and go to it. Since you need so little, follow the instructions where it tells you how to do a strand test or allergy test. That will allow you to mix a small amount in the proper proportions and save the rest of the dyefor the next time. Tighten the lid on the bottles tight to keep the dye fresh. Pubes are coarse hair so you might have to leave the dye on longer , maybe 45 min to an hour.
    The bes fun Ive had is with the light blond shades, and you will have to by the stronger light blond dye like Clairol Born Blonde and again use the test proportions to mix a small amount This will give you the light blon look that is totally cool.Most of the guyz on the local wrestling team went with this dye on their heads and pubes too.

    I've been keepng my balls shaved clean every day or so and they don itch anymore, so if you like it, just keep it up.

    The Dye
    If I were to dye it, how long would it last? How often does it need to be dyed? And does the original color ever come back?
  • Mar 31, 2005, 07:06 AM

    Hey Woodtable7
    Dye is permanent, which means that the color would have to grow out to get back to your natural shade, maybe a couple of months or so. Dark roots would begin to appear, but you could dye it again to keep it nice and light.
    In an emergency to get back to your original color, you could dye it your natural color again.
    When you pick the color, look on the side of the box for what the color looks like when put on your natural color. A lot of the blond colors don't do much on dark hair. If you have dark hair and want to go to a light blond, you have to get Clairol Born Blond or other type dye made specialy to do blond with dark hair.

    Check it out, I think it's a real cool look, but if you don' have to go naked in the shower at the gym so nobody sees it, then have fun.

    Shaving pubic hair



    Hello everyone,

    well here goes.. lol.. I am a 25 yr old female and I have tried just about everything.. from waxing (never again) to shaving, nairing.. you name it. Different shaving creams and razors.. blah blah blah.. The only thing I didn't like about shaving was the itch that came after it.. At my age walking around scratching yourself is never a good idea.. lol.. so now I very closely trim with clippers and shave to shape instead.. works well.. just rinse really good.. no complaints yet.. lol Good LUck

    I believe those bumps with white in them... Those are in-grown hairs... I shaved for about a month and last time I did was about 4 or 5 days ago... I shaved mine because as far as I know naturallly

    I have a lot of hair in my area... not really long but it grows on the bottom of my penis almost halfway up and up the sides a bit too... Is that normal?

    I also had a problem with an ingrown hair and it stayed growing inside the skin for about 4 or 5 days and got pretty long.. it was a big bump on the underside of my penis and I got really nervous and thought I had an infected cut from shavign of some sort.. I got the hair out and was pretty lucky id say..

    Does anyone know how to prevent those ingrown hairs?

    Id like to hear what the ladies think about shaving too... I think we should only trim the hair short and shave the boundries to clean it up a bit...



    And seeing that this topic has 23 thousand views... anyone searching this topic on a search engine... just make a name and help some people out... you too are questioning the same thing

    I like it when a girl shaves or even just trims it down to size. I don't really like the bush down there... makes a mess in your mouth :)

    I personally have once been shaved (for a surgery) and I remember the awful itching. I wouldn't do it on my own, unless the girl asks me to do it.

    Pubic Hair...
    Hi I'm a male 35 and a heterosexual in the UK. I found this site and was curious as to what other people did with their pubic hair.
    I've pretty much read all of the entries in this discussion, and feel it's all about what you like. Here's my story and thoughts...

    I don't consider myself sexually adventurous at all.
    I can't remember exactly when I first trimmed my pubic hair, probably when I was 25. It was something exciting, but with shame attached, as I thought it was a bit kinky or perverted. But after that I trimmed every few months. Length wise I guess it was a inch (25mm) long. It does make Mr Happy look larger too. But that wasn't the reason. It was more about personal grooming and general tidiness. My girlfriend at the time who is French liked it. I never had a problem in the changing rooms as with most men they try to avoid looking below the chest. A few years later I noticed that some women in porn were shaven. This I found very exciting, giving the man a very intimate insight to the vagina, and I did encourage my girlfriends to trim and shave. Some did shave and others only trimmed quite short. I use to like shaving my x girlfriend, who enjoyed it too. The thought of shaving myself became increasingly tempting, and once I asked my girlfriend if she though I should. Her reply was nothing, not knowing really what she thought, I stalled the shave until I felt that she would like it, as a rejection post shave would leave me sexless and hairless for a while. Then a year ago I read an article and it mentioned that some religion required that the men's body's were hairless on a regular basis. I was talking to some mates in a pub one night and recounted the article, and when I mentioned the part about shaving, two of my friends admitted that they shave their pubic hair off, and had done for a few years. Their Wives like it. I was in shock, as I always considered it a bit of a taboo.
    So a few months later, I finally did it. Gulp! I found it quite sensual and pleasing to the eye after a day or so. At first, it looked very naked and odd. Not child like, just clean and powerful. My Girlfriend thought differently, "It looks wrong", but after a few days she got use to it, and liked to stroke the smooth skin. I kept it like that for a few weeks. The skin got red and smart for a couple of days then settled down.
    I found that shaving every other day in the shower kept it smooth and I had no irritation.
    KY jelly is ideal, as it's very smooth and makes it easy to see what your doing while shaving. I let it grow back as I grew bored. A few months ago after a messy break up with my girlfriend. I decided that I'd not bother seeing any women for 6 months or so. As relationships were doing my head in. I could do what I liked, not having to have approval from anyone, and not caring. I shaved my pubic hair again, this time for my own satisfaction. And I kept it like that for 2 months. Partly to see if it caused any skin irritation, it did not. I didn't find it a chore to shave it every 2 days. And it felt like I was taking pride in my penis. I don't shave it now and I don't trim either. It's very long, perhaps because I wanted a change. I know I will do it again.
    The question is when it's hairy, to shave it off is a very sudden semi permanent thing to do (Exciting), but to grow it to a length that's socially acceptable in the changing (Locker) room, takes at least 10 weeks. I want to wait now until I meet a girl, and if she wants it that way, I'll do it to please her and if that pleases her it will please me. In the end of the day it's just a hair style. Tastes and moods change. As I can see in present Pornography, Shaving pubic hair is popular. But is that a fair representation of normal people who don't perform and pose sexually for others. Sure it's a stimuli for all who look at it, and influence. It shouldn't be an issue really, but sex and things connected will always gain our attention, as we are so driven by natural desire and emotions.
    It's not a new thing. I'm sure it's been done for a long time, since people could cut hair I guess.
    The Gay issue, well gay men are well known for looking after their appearance, so if being hairy untidy and smelly is to be a man, think how ridiculous that sounds. It's a matter of personal preference.
    I hope to hear what you think, as I've realised a few things just typing these thoughts.

    PS "I'm still embarrassed about what I did, and I don't think I'd admit it to anyone I know, Why?"

    smoothdrew
    Im 43 male, I have been smooth down below for about 5 years now, The first time I shaved was b-4 my vasectomy. The Dr couldn't believe when he started to prep, & saw me totally shaved. I kept shaving for a couple of years, then my wife sugessted I wax as it would last longer. Now I wax every 6-8 weeks. It stays smooth much longer, after about a month it starts growing back in, then I can't wait ntil the next time I wax it off. I prefer waxing because it is totally smooth for a couple of weeks. Shaving would give me stubble daily, and I would have to shave every 2-3 days. Oh, I still shave my shaft & Balls, as it hurts when ripping the hair form those areas.

    Length ?
    Well, an Inch is OK, not too long, the idea of really long pubic hair, the smell of bacteria from sweat that would collect there. Yuck! But isn't that the reason for the hair in the first place, to make a smell that the opposite sex find attractive?
    Even half an inch is quite tidy I guess. But I imagine that shorter than that and your looking at it being irritating to your partners lol.

    Help
    I shaved my and balls for the first time 2 days ago and I got razor-burn, is there anything I can do to stop the burn and make it feel all smooth and everything? :confused:

    Shaving burn
    Hi SWW, in my experience, I never had any problems with shaving burns.
    Some people are more sensitive than others, saying that, there are some tricks of the trade.
    Have a bath and soak for 10 minutes ( after 3-4 times you'll find that you can do it without a bath, and do it in the shower)
    Use KY Lubricant instead of soap. (Much smoother and closer, less dry)
    A fresh razor (with the grain then against)
    Use a moisturiser or oil afterwards to stop dry skin. (oil is better as it holds moisture in)
    Shave every other day, and if you keep to that the hairs don't get long enough to irritate.
    After a couple of weeks, the little red spots go away, and your skin gets use to it. The red spots are hairs just growing under the skin, for some reason this stops after a couple of weeks. I guess the skin hardens a little to the shaving. You might want to leave it 4 days between each shave at first, just to help the skin get use to it.
    Shaving your balls is easy if the sack is warm and stretchy, not tight and hard. Also it's quite difficult to get every hair the first time, after a couple of shaves you should have done them all.
    I hope this helps! : )

    So when you say to soak for 10 min what does that mean? Soak before I shave or what? And what do you mean by the soap and KY? Is that instead of shaving gel? And the razor, I tried going against the grain and it killed, I cut myself, so do you mean do just go with the grain right above the shaft and against it on it? Sorry for all the questions, it's just really irritating.

    Sww
    First soak in a hot bath for at least 10 minutes before shave.
    Don't use Soap, as it will dry the skin.
    Use KY jelly or alternative, much better than gel. Gel is really liquified soap.
    Shave in the direction that suits you. Usually against will give a closer shave, but can remove a thin bit of skin as the hairs will be pulled closer to the blade. This does give a slight soar feeling when doing so, as it's pulling the hair slightly out of the skin. You will get use to it.
    Promise.

    Me and my boyfriend
    I am Emma,
    :) I have been shaving now for about a month. I have been with my boyfriend for a month and a half, just as we was getting upto rude things, *as you do hehe* I noticed he was shaved, no I didn't think it was gross or sick or anything like that, I found it to be very nice, especially since he does it every night and it is very smooth, whilst giving him oral I do not recieve a mouth full of pubic hair either, I find it to be very sexy :D, very sexy indeed. It is cleaner and yes it is easiar for masterbating :).



    So that's my opinion on it, and oh by the way it stops itching :D, like I said I have been shaving for a month and I haven't itched for 3 weeks.

    Hi SWW, The acne thing sounds bad, unless you mean reddish pimples. This is just hair growing under the skin. However, if its spots/acne you have on your Penis, I might consider a trip to the Doctor, just to be safe.
    What could be happening is sweat is making the bare skin soft and sore. Try Talc or even stick type deodorant after shaving. If you can't get hold of KY jelly, (Water based Glycerine lubricant) Try hair conditioner, I've heard that works well too. Different people prefer different techniques. Look on the internet, there's lots of sites about this subject as it's very popular and growing all the time.
    You have to give it time, and don't expect to have porn smoothie in the first week either. Your skill and technique will improve in time, if you have the desire to keep up with it. I haven't for a long time so wouldn't expect a spotless skin the first time. I think it gets better each time you do it though.

    Emma
    Hi Emma, was the reason you shave your pubic hair because your Boyfriend does, as it seems to coinside with dating him?
    Or was it something you did without each other knowing?
    And if you both didn't know, why do you think you did it?

    For guys I think it's a tightrope if your single anyway.
    There seems to be two sides to it. 50% of girls like it shaven or a very short trim, and the other can't stand it.
    Women on the other hand are around 75% shaven and few prehaps only 10-15% with long Pubic hair. And lets face it, Very few Men hate shaven women.

    What was your perception of Shaven men before you found out your boyfriend was a smoothie. : ) and have you ever spoken on the subject to other women about it. What do your friends think?

    Sorry lots n lots of questions...

    Hey
    Hey, thanks for replying, no I didn't shave because my boyfriend does, I got the idea to start shaving again because my ex boyfriend told me not to get showers everyday ( I was paronoid about what people thought of me) and my ex was pretty controlling mostly the reason why it ended after a year and four months I couldn't put up with it anymore, and with me being me I started to get laid back and stopped shaving and stuff, I got really laid back, and then I met Rich my boyfriend and decided that I had a reason to be on top of myself again, so here I am now.

    If people had have asked me what I thought about it before I got with Rich (About guys shaving) I would not have blinked an eyelid, Im too much of an open minded person, my ex had a "bush" and I wasn't really too keen on it as it was not very nice but now I am with my boyfriend I love it!

    :D

    Hi Emma, your X sounds like a weird control freak! Better you're out of that.

    So you shaved before then, and Rich give you a reason to be on top, Good for you.
    "Self love is not vile a sin as self neglect" W Shakespeare.

    Being Laid back is perhaps what I'm doing at the moment or was, as I had no real concern with meeting a women. But recently I've started to dress better, get my hair cut (Head). And I guess grooming your Pubic area is like any other part of you, tidying your appearance for others as well as yourself. Pride and respect for yourself.

    Shaving
    Hi,
    One very important thing to remember about shaving ANYWHERE on your body is this:
    The more you shave, the tougher the hairs!
    The more you shave your face and chin, the tougher the hairs become, and become much more "stickly" and strong.
    So, keep that in mind. If you keep shaving your pubic hairs, it won't be long before you will have to shave them all the time!! Otherwise, no one will be able to touch you!
    Best of luck,
    fredg
