How and why? Why why why?

And, crucially, why for pete's sake?

Didn't Captain Zoom speak at length on the pleasures of all-over shaving some time back?

Ganesh

11:52 / 15.04.05

Presumably because some people like the smooth-all-over feeling and/or the enhanced tactility.

Why not?

It's the stubble-all-over feeling I couldn't deal with.

Ahhh, BBU. You've given yourself away there. There's a lot of Why's asked, but there's also a how, which makes me think you want to do it but are a bit scared.

Don't be. If you want to do it, get some scissors and trim the area all over. Get a sharp razor (your average normal razor does the trick) and apply shavinf foam. Get to work and rinse. Check for any dangly bits you missed and do it again. Apply moisturiser.

Any thing else you want to know? PM if you're too embarrassed.

For the Ladies

Well it would give me a shock to discover.....

Crabs

Ewwwww!!!!!!!

Jub

13:54 / 15.04.05

what are you ewwing? crabs?

oh dear oh dear oh dear.

shaving's not such a good idea when it comes to crabs though because they live all over your hair down there - includign (gasp!) your bum.

If anyone is affected by this problem I recommend Prioderm, which stings a bit but is much more affective than shaving.

Now grow up and stop being so bloody repressed about the whole thing.

I actually meant it would be a shock to find shaved balls. Suppose I shouldn't be shocked as many women shave their regions as well but never occured to me that men shave their bits.

Quick straw poll reveals a lot of (straight) guys do it to stay in trim.

I mean if you want a girl to make giving head easier and nicer for you, s'only polite to do the same, right?

Sounds a bit risky, ay? Not so much of a shaving cut as a puncture.

William Sack

14:08 / 15.04.05

People seem to be addressing the "why?" but not the "how?" I have only ever shaved my face, which is generally pretty straightforward. Isn't shaving your balls like trying to tatoo a piglet?

Ooh, God, no shaving. A close trim downstairs is all well and good but I think common sense says all knives, scissors and stabbing weapons need to be kept upstairs.

No sense doing a Sweeny Todger.

So what do you trim with then? Teeth? Pull them out one by one?

I got fed up with unwanted pubic floss from going down. Especially last time I nearly choked on one. Kinda ruined the moment.

So I thought I'd lead by example. Makes oral sex much better, much ball sucking. Having your perineum tongued is also fab.

If someone's going to do you the service of giving you a blow job the least you can do is make sure they don't gag on your pubes.

Isn't the technical term for this a "waxed sack 'n' crack" ? Ie, aren't you supposed to get it done at the tanning salon or wherever ? It just sound like an accident waiting to happen otherwise..

Welcome to newbies, BTW!

Just be sure you like it, because it doesn't grow back quite the same. And dear god, THE STUBBLE! Though I must say, the ball stubble was no where near as bad as stomach stubble, especially when wet. (There's a lesson here for everyone: profuse bady hair + fucking nutter girlfriend = badness)

Having said all that, shaving isn't bad. Personal preference and all.

i believe shaven pubes also make the penis look larger, one of the reasons male porn actors do it pretty much as standard.

"When I was 14 a zorastrian named Velma ritrulistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking. I suggest you try it."

20 bucks if you pluck the hairs out...

Popular to contrary conception -

*cough* - Sorry; contrary to popular misconception, I have shaven my balls on a handful of occassions. The first time was when I was 15ish for reasons I currently can't fathom. The wrongness of it was colossal, mainly because I shaved my age back to prepuberty in appearance and for that reason I haven't really attempted another go until recently. Cor, I fucking hated the careful, slo-o-ow process. My balls are therefore bushy territories and they shall remain that way for as long as I have my mind made up.

Really?

I know that comedy misreadings are the lowest, but I read that as "my ball are bushy terrorists", and I almost squeeked with delight.

I wouldn't expect too much from this GKB. With pornstars there's also the camera-adds-10lbs factor in operation.

So your original "for pete's sake why" was a little disingenuous then. Hmmm.

Why did you decide to do it again then if it was so bad?

(also, if your scrotum is slightly cooler, it will be tighter and that makes it easier to shave - don't have a bath or anything first!)

Ah, but a hot bath softens the hairs and makes for a closer shave. What a conundrum.

Having done this twice (once because I lost a bet and once because it was a really boring, slow afternoon that makes really dumb ideas seem ten times better than they really are), I've made the observation that the pubic hair has some kind of temperature controlling function too. Removal of hair brings with it a day-long, clammy kind of feeling. I guess if you do this constantly you'd get used to it, but personally I prefer the normal state of affairs. And yes, the stubble while things grow back rivals some species of cactus. Or at least it feels that way.
