Cleanly shaven = nice to touch, nice to look at.
I shave totally as well-just about every day.
I personally don't get the deal with shaving pubes... grooming I get... I trim quite often but actually shaving is itchy for a girl just as much for a guy, and you end up looking like a little kid... there's a reason for that hair... I like to know my guy has hit puberty :p but if you want to shave down there, a lot of girls don't really care, you've just gotten a picky one. It's a personal choice, I wouldn't do it for religion though... again, a personal choice... :cool: :D
Once you get past the late teens and early 20's that paranoia about age and puberty passes. Those of us well past our 30's have no such hangups. And about the itching part. Shave every 2 or three days and it doesn't itch at all.Quote:

Well I shave also and it is specifically for those reasons. 1. It doesn't itch when I shave but when the hair grows back I start to have minor itching and I feel so clean when I shave also. 2. It is easier to wipe and clean when I pee, LOL 3. I think it looks better and feels cooler and cleaner.

Its more common with the ladies than the guys... but based on locker rooms its catching on with guys as well.Quote:

So I do remember the resistance of the younger members at that age, it was extremely rare for guys back then and even fairly rare among the ladies... many had just never though to doing it back then. I was able to convince a few to do it and they liked it, a few just were not secure enough with their maturity at the time to do it as well for the very same reasons you expressed. It has nothing to do with little kids or anything like that. Hell, it was common with the Romans and the Greeks as well to do this, thousands of years ago, so its really not a new thing. Just something that's gaining in popularity (which I am thankful for)
I think its nasty looking at really bushy thick dark pubic hair... It looks a whole lot better shaved and is more comfortable also, I am speaking of women but men I don't care one way or another. I have never had any irritations, rashes or anything from shaving but when it starts to grow in I feel itchy and I have to shave. After shaving it feels nice and cool like a hair cut and I feel a whole lot better and cleaner. The first time that I done it the only worry that I had was getting cut done there but I have never been cut, I think once because I seen a little blood but it did not hurt. I think it is not as easy to get cut down there because I get cut easier on my legs, on my legs I have been cut maybe 4-5 times only since I have been shaving and only once for the bubic area and I don't use a lot of lather either. This was my only concern when shaving but it is no problems at all now because I am used to it and don't worry about getting cut. There is a bikini line/under arm ahaving cream that you can buy, it is made my Skintimate and you can use it for sensitive skin and for your bubic hair and it works good but really anything will be okay to shave with.
So yeaah def. girls like it better when guys shave. But you are too young too be worrying about that. Focus more on school and hobbies. Sheessh. Your only 15!
This thread is 3 years old... they are 18 now.
But I agree... till you are finished with school, that is the last thing you should be worrying about. Unless you want to be working a cash register your entire life the discipline and learning from focusing on your studies carries on to life afterwards and effects your earning potiential. That applies to College students as well. And hey, I've been there as well so I am qualified to make the statement. Distractions are the last thing you need till you are finished with any type of school.

Hmm I must say NO SHAVING! Wax it if anyting so it doesn't become a ruff sandpaper. There is nothing worse than a mouth full of hair and nothing worse then the feeling of sandpaper. So I say stick to waxing, or just trimming to be safe.

WEll honestly I don't like when guys shave.. its better if they trim.. or cut down a little.. but I guess you can shave.. ;)
At least shave your balls guys, C'mon!
<<<Totally shaved.
I like it, Mrs likes it-no problem.
Shaving is great, but ingrown hairs can be a problem... a BIG problem.
Yea I am 15 to and I started keeping it trimed up about a month ago and a few days ago I thought about shaveing down their so I did but I was afraid to shave my balls, I thought I might cut myself any tips on shaveing that area
I can't recommend it but my partner tried using hair removal cream for a while. He said it stung really bad though.
It seems to have the same effect on everyone. I can't believe how highly comercialised it all is.
The hair removal products out there are not meant for skin as sensitive as that of the genitalia. It will burn/sting A LOT, and I recommend avoiding it. If someone wants to shave, using female safety (comfort) razors and female shaving cream is the best, as those products are meant to be used on sensitive skin (such as inner thigh) and will make shaving a good experience.
Totally shaved as well. Wife didn't like the idea of her shaving when we first got married... Told her I much preffered if she did and asked her if she would if I would... the fact I did for her got her past her initial resistance... now I keep it that way not just because she gets upset if it grows out, but I think if feels better when its smooth.Quote:

So I went through making sure I was all nice and clean and smelling nice (the usual when you get a new girl, got to spend a lot of time on your appearance). Then I got to the goods... I really wanted to make sure I was up to date... so I shaved my pubes hoping to get a better outcome then last time. Well it was the same old itching and burning and scratching. I don't know if this is something you have to deal with every time you shave or what. I know it wears of about a week after you shave, but by that time you got to shave again. So when I shave I do it in the tub with really warm/hot watter, but I still get little red bumps. I really would like answers and help. I use a normal manual razor and I use shaving cream after I let my goods be in the water for about 2-3 minutes. O and I am a guy lol.
Trick is much like how you would do your face. In fact even after 30+ years of shaving my face is still more sensitive that down their. I find a good Gel to be better than a shaving cream, Use a good razor. I Like the Mach 3 but Currently use a Fusion 5 blade, a dull razor will tear your skin up as well as I find disposable razors to do, avoid those. I spread the gel around after each stroke, never do multiple passes over bare skin, downward angle strokes, side to side in each direction BEFORE doing an upstroke. Going directly to upstrokes will scalp you like you are seeming to describe.
Scalp me... wow that sounds harsh.. thanks for the tips
Its doesn't really matter what you do as long as ypu feel comfortable xx
I think it is perfectly fine to do it. The fact that most guys like their girls to have no hair in their lower areas and they are wild and gross isn't fair. They should at least return the favor. I personally think hair is gross and I don't like it anywhere. The only thing is if you are going to shave you have o make sure it is daily or else it is just gross and stubbly... lol eww.
But yeah it is fine, I like it that way.
Im about to turn 17, and I had trimmed my pubs once in the past but then allowed it to grow back. Now that summer is here and soccer is starting I said "Hey imma shave everything down there, because I thought less hair= less sweat." So its been about 2 days since I shaved and its really itchy now, I have some red bumps but not too much but it really itches under my balls. The hair is starting to grow back already and is very grain and short and maybe is poking my skin. I have a soccer practice tommrow and I need some advice, is there anyway to make the itching go away so I won't die at practice. Or should I just shave again to make it very smooth?
Shave every other day and keep it that way. Just use a good gell (better than foam), ALWAYS use a good razor, not a disposable (likely reason for the bumps from scalping)... never pass a razor over bare skin without gel, I smear it around after each pass. Also wash well before shaving.
Ok so your saying that I should shave it again?
Yes... never use up strokes until last. Side to side, downward diagonal in both directions then up strokes smearing shaving gel between strokes. I keep some on one palm while doing so. This avoids the red bumps you describe. Has for me anyway.
I use a Fusion 5 blade razor, The Mach III is almost as good. Avoid any disposable razor... any of them will cause this.
Yea so I did what you just said, but I did it wrong I didn't use the razer at an angle and instead of avoid thoese red bumbs I got more and I made a few cuts as well. So now am back to square one, what I really need is a solution that will get ride of the inch temporally so I can particpate in my practice tmrw.
Well if you managed to tear things up like that you do need to give it a rest for it to heal. Luckily that's only going to be 3-5 days of any real discomfort.
Hello I'm a 16 year old female and I thought I should throw my opinion out there.
I personally don't like hairy men - and I mean hair anywhere so for me a guy that shaves everywhere including between his legs is perfect for me.
But then again some people don't like guys without hair and prefer a jungle it is all a matter of personal preference - it doesn't make you any more or less of a man for shaving your groine area.
You just have to make sure you do it as often as your can because stubbly regrowth isn't nice :)
But apart from that if you feel happier doing it - do so , and there are girls out there that like it better - they just don't reli want to say
Hope this has helped

Hey, I'm a 15 year old male, and I don't have a clue what to do about shaving my groine area. Should I or not? Please explain why!!
I'm really confused about it.. all I know is that my mate did it once and he was itching for about 2-3 weeks, and he looked in pain lol.
You have to trim it as short as possible first before ever picking up a razor. And its personal choice. I find it much cleaner and easier to clean as well as less itchy in hot weather IF and only IF you keep it that way by shaving no more than every other day.
Its something you want to do and keep and not let go for a week between upkeep because then you will be prolonging that day 3 through day 5 itchy period. Otherwise don't do it at all.
Thanks man, ill give it a good think.. like shaving.I statrted and I cba now lol. :p
You'l learn the technique fairly quick, what gets you smooth without getting razor burn. Much like you learned shaving your face. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to do it.
Practice makes perfect. And don't worry, every so often I manage to do the same thing. About once a year. So even with experience you still manage to do that by accident every so often, I guess it helps you remember to pay attention.
I am also a guy of similar age and been thinking a about shaving, the thing which worries me is that it will grow back thick and darker like when you shave facial hair etc...Quote:

Im thinking just a trim will do..
I'm strongly considering trimming, much better, but it won't grow back darker or thicker.
Trimming more suitable as it means you do have some hair down their, which is always (in my view) better than none.
