Bare Down There?
Home again, tired but happy. Definitely worth putting up with the “when are you going to settle down and get married?” and other nosy questions the relatives toss out, to have an unexpectedly sex-filled weekend with a highschool flame. :D
I’m still digging through email, but found an interesting one from a friend (who doesn’t know I contribute to this blog, making his question even more amusing). He’s wondering about shaving himself. He’s noticed that alot of the porn pix have bare or nearly-bare girls, and that some of the guys shave their balls. So, he’s thinking of doing it to himself (or maybe asking his wife to help), and wondering if he does, how far should he go? Just the testicles, or off with all the pubes? What about maintenance? Does it make oral sex more interesting or fun, as Vikki at Her Desires says it does for the girls? Would it be better for both partners?
I just don’t know about all this shaving stuff. I’m seriously squicked at the idea of bringing something so sharp so close to such sensitive places. When I had the money to spend on such things, I was a wax girl. But the woman who did it never would take off as much as I’d request on my labia, I guess because she thought it would hurt. And I liked the way it looked, and felt, just fine anyway. So I’m asking y’all to pipe up with your experiences if you want to, and I’ll point my friend this way. It’ll be a nice surprise for him in lots of ways. :laugh:
And, just because it’s nice to feature a change of pace from the nearly-bare girlies, here’s a totally hot photo of Hiromi from Brett and Hiromi’s blog at Indecent Blogging:

I keep meaning to write an essay on this question in my own blog, but I keep getting side tracked by other topics, like politics, holiday erotica, or paying for sex.
But on the male side, yeah, I started to shave my balls a while back. Just the balls and the base of the cock; not the groin or surrounding area, and I’m reasonably furry. But smooth balls feel good to my own hand, they’re more sensitive, and they seem to please my playmates. Less hair in the way, less hair in their mouths.
Friend of mine is so dedicated to smooth balls he’s looking into how to get the hair lasered of permanently.
The trick is to shave often. The skin gets used to it and doesn’t get irritated. Like my shaved head, it’s only when I stop shaving then start again that the skin complains.
I started shaving myself about the same time I hit puberty. So for 25 years or so it has been as much a part of my personal grooming as brushing my teeth. I’d say I’m moderately fuzzy. No real back hair except the back my neck and my butt has just a fine layer that is barely visible.
To me the best results come from shaving all around the base of your shaft then shaving off the hair on your scrotum to the natural baseline. The natural baseline is that place where the skin that makes up the scrotum connects with the regular skin coming from your leg. The easiest way to figure this out is when it’s cold and your scrotum has tightened up. The scrotum is typicaly darker in color.
The reason I do this is two-fold. First, if you shave all the way to the crease between your leg and sac when the sac shrinks it will become really obvious you shaved because you can see the the two different skin types. Secondly, when it begins to grow back it gets irritated much easier causing ingrown hairs.
I use a Mach 3 Turbo blade, but I do not use shaving cream. Instead I just get a full lather with my body wash. But I’ve been shaving it off for 25 years. I imagine if it’s your first time the protection that shaving cream gives you might be beneficial. It’s very importnant to wait until you have decent regrowth before shaving again. Overshaving will irritate the skin and cause more ingrown hairs, little white pimply bumbs are definitely not attractive. For me that is about every other day.
To add to the look and touch I also use one of those beard trimmers that allow you to select certain days wirth of growth to trim the natural triangle patch of pubic hair. Typicaly I set it to about 5 or 6. It’s a little short for a few days, but blends in with the shaving a lot more making my pubic region look like it is naturally a lot less hairy than it is.
On a closing note, I began shaving my wife this weekend. Until now she had been shaving herself completely bare, but I thought it would be nice to have a straight line of pubic hair off the top of her crease. Making it even and straight is much easier if a partner does it. We discovered the hard way that waxing is not fun on the labia so I don’t recommend it. I do use shaving cream on her, doing my best to not get any of the pink parts!
I love hair! I love seeing and feeling that the person I’m with — male or female — is all growed up, I’ve got an old sonnet about it:
Why Not Shave?
A bearded man cannot disguise what food
He’s eaten — there it is, still on my face,
This morning’s Grape-Nuts dangling till a rude
Stare sends my hand to find the guilty trace.
And summer sweat deposits salt that burns
My chin, spotting it with itchy sores;
My breath, from little clouds in winter turns
To icy ropes that drip on all the floors.
So why not shave this wayward pubic hair?
I love to lick between your legs until
My beard is soaked with your entrancing smell
And I get hard at work, just breathing the air.
I’d lose this hardon if my face were sheared —
Smell’s not the least advantage of a beard.
I recommend the Braun 7526. I can shave my labia with a wet razor with no ill effects, but my mons refuses anything other than a quality electric shaver. I haven’t tried waxing. What’s that like?
I shave my balls with shaving cream and a cheapo BIC – works fine, just be careful. And the menthol in the shaving cream feels great! As for pubes, I trim with an electric beard trimmer and always leave about 1/8″ or so at the base of the shaft and up a bit, then a little longer (3/8″ or so) elsewhere. My old girlfriend used to love my “pricklies” as she called them. It was just enough to tickle her clit just right. I shaved her too, generally all the way except for a narrow grinding strip up top.
My new GF doesn’t seem to care one way or the other about my hair but has indicated she wants me to shave her. Maybe this weekend!
I’ve covered this topic in my own blog, several months ago (maybe even last year?). Dangly shaves me &, after traying wet razors several times, we’ve discovered that an electric trimmer works great! I use a Remington PG-200. It has a beard attachment which we use for the initial trim, then a screen attachment that we use to get everything (including labia) nice and smooooooth.
It’s also a great time of intimacy for partners. :)

Getting a bunch of hair in your mouth has never been very sexually stimulating for me. I don’t remember how I stumbled on the above site, it may have even been here but it provides a lot of how too for all tastes.
Bare down there is fabulous! For men and women alike. The first couple of shaves can be harrowing, so take your time. Even better, have someone special do it for you.
I have been shaving the nether regions for several years and love the reaction a smooth pussy elicits from someone. And, once, to my surprise, a new lover shaved himself for me. Quite pleasurable! Roooowr!
I get waxed – I have a great guy I go to who uses the real bikini wax, and gets *everything*. Sure, the first time is quite unnerving because a) you have no idea how it’s going to feel (yes, it hurts – remember that really bad band-aid being pulled off? Ya, worse than that) and b) you have to spread ’em for a stranger (and let him dig around in there to get it all). Somehow it seemed easier because it was a man, in my view anyway. You *do* have to wait until you get enough re-growth to do it again, and it can be pricey – but, I love the feeling after; it lasts a long time compared to shaving; and, I have tried all manner of other ways (except laser) and I get SO irritated, sore and just plain not able to show that part of me “in public” for quite a while ;)
well, first of all, someone who knows how to shave his face can shave his balls. having shaved Master’s dangly bits for Him the other night, i can say that if one has a decent razor (like a Mach 3), it is easy enough, and most assuredly erotic. patience and care are key.
my Master is a hairy one, and it is a wonderful change to have bare balls to lick and suck on. not unlike the pleasant nature of licking bare labia. and take as much off as you like. (i prefer to stick to the parts you want to have licked more often. i don’t shave everything, nor does Master.) yes, it feels good. removing hair enhances sensation, just as having a smooth face feels good. as far as maintenance… i shave my pussy nearly every day. Master shaves or has His balls shaved once a month or so. the prickly regrowth doesn’t seem to bother Him.
i personally believe it makes oral sex more of a pleasure, on both …. um… parts.
It doesn’t matter on which particular day I am diggin through my email, there is always something in there regarding penis enlargement, sex or viagra. I like that because I have a tiny penis, so small that I have to use tweezers to pee. There is this one great penis enlargement blog availble that inspired me and I tried it out. Unfortunately, when I tried to link it here, I couldn’t type in the url with my nose (remember, my hands are always busy searching around for my penis, and they are slippery from the stale smegma that leaks out of the little depression where my penis should be.) Anyway, I made significant gains against all the negative speculation, my penis is now the size of a small earthworm. Check it out.

You’re welcome, Brett — it’s a great picture. Hiromi has nothing to be embarrassed about, imo.
And thanks to everyone who’s offered helpful info; I’m going to email my friend later today.
Brett, Hiromi is gorgeous just as she is. I’m apparently in the minority in _liking_ hair down there. The shaved look doesn’t appeal to me at all. You can’t “muffdive” if there’s no muff!
I’ve had one complaint, even on the same day I shaved, that the stubble makes licking unpleasant. Anyone else have that happen?
I’m also in the minority here, too. I don’t like missing pubic hair at all. It’s a major turnoff for me. I mean, I can let it go, it’s not a hygiene issue so it’s none of my business what my girlfriend does, but I still prefer hairy women. I really don’t get the current trend towards hairlessness for everyone.
There’s an ass for every seat, as they say.
Bacchus, I love the way you edited that comment spam!
:laugh:
Thanks for posting my wife’s picture, Aphrodite — Hiromi’s terribly flattered and a little mortified. :D She’s starting to doubt her pubic hair with all this talk of shaving, but I think it looks really good in this one.
Shaving the pubes is fine AS LONG AS he does it regularly. Nothing is worse than ending up with a raw chin from pubic burn (and trying to explain it later to others – lol)
As long as it’s not a bush (pardon the pun boys!) I don’t like picking hairs out of my mouth and having them tickle my nose while I deepthroat you. Keep it manscaped, at minimum, and I’m a very happy camper. When I’m happy, I promise, you’ll be VERY happy. ;)
