Do you shave your... You know... Pubic hair

This should prooooooobably be on ILTMI, but what do I know?

Also, kinda disappointed that men and women don't have the same poll options.

It's kind of ludicrous form of denial to think that some women don't also remove facial hair.

On the main subject of this poll, though, I am sick to death of the whole thing.

I'm sick of people telling women they should remove their body hair. I'm sick of people telling women they shouldn't remove their body hair. IT'S OUR FREAKING HAIR. ON OUR BODIES. IT IS OUR CHOICE WHAT THE HELL WE DO WITH IT. Either way.

Not that I'm pretending that social forces on this issue are in any way balanced on both sides. But seriously - insisting that women SHOULD NEVER DO THIS THING, EVER is just as bad as insisting that they must.

I will say, however, that there was nothing quite like eating a pussy of the afternoon, then later, later at the dinner table with mom and dad, extracting a single red pubic hair from your between you teeth. That's an expeience that the kids of today can never have, with their shaving and waxing and dolphin-smooth netherworlds.

In the pubic interest

I was gonna say havent we done this, more than once maybe?

Yep. That's one of many threads.

as it were

Sorry, that Guardian CIF just really wound me up. Especially as it was getting tweeted around by people who really should know better. Well-meaning gone to the dark side. Like... let's help women by... being just one more pressure telling women what they should or shouldn't do to their bodies.

I should just stay the heck away from threads like this, especially when I'm feeling unwell and cranky.

Shaving's like breastfeeding - no matter what you choose, we're all wrong in someone's eyes. :/

Shaving, breastfeeding, having a career while parenting - it doesn't matter what the issue is, the basic message is always: WOMEN! Whatever you do, you are WRONG.

wasn't there some "moment" in the u.s. elections years back where they asked clinton if he wore boxers or briefs? I expect over the next couple of months we'll learn how romney grooms his balls

Men who trim their pubic hair: insecure or thoughtful?

I thought I'd included facial hair removal for women in an option; I certainly intended to. Apologies for any offence caused. I put the poll together quickly via iPad and should probably have spent longer on it.

I was thinking more about male athletes, as a side-effect of both my increased awareness of cycling culture and the likes of Tom Daley being everywhere. Plus the other night while changing for football a hairless teammate claimed smooth male chests were now "on trend".

And I was probably only thinking of male athletes because it's so embedded as the norm for women to remove body hair in western cultures, and the taken-as-read nature of that is clearly problematic. Is it as much the norm in African, Asian, middle eastern etc etc cultures?

I personally hate shaving, but feel slightly as if I should be cleanly facially shaven for work, so compromise by just shaving on Mondays. In my last job I shaved about three times a week but it was a much more businesslike office.

I pluck my eyebrows in the middle for aesthetic reasons, and tweezer out occasional black hairs from my shoulders too. Pretty much no one apart from Emma and I see my shoulders for any length of time so there's not much logical sense to doing that beyond vanity and clinging on to youth.

So how's the best way for women to shave facial hair? I don't but would like to.

I use Rogaine on my junk for that Wookie look.

If I wrote for a teen dramedy, I'd want to find somewhere to put the line "He was totally Iron & Wine down there."

It just occurred to me that you could market a geriatric incontinence diaper to Wookies as Wookieleaks.

as soon as i saw this was gonna cite the classic 'men who trim their pubic hair ....' thread, started by mr hand and referenced above by. Both an immeasurably valuable primer and fascinating record of its time.

As an athlete, why would you shave your armpits but not your head? Unless armpits is just an aesthetic choice.

Yeah, I don't get shaving armpits, if only for the lack of sweat absorption.

as for me: MAN/TRIM (waist down + shoulders). I wish I started doing this years ago but was too caught up in pointless normative ideas about what's 'acceptable' for non-freakish men - to which I have two three-letter words: FUK DAT! (of course it's not like these areas were being seen by anyone, so it hasn't really made a difference anyways).

pussy of the afternoon

It freaks me out how all of the men in movies are ken doll smooth when they take off their shirts these days.

cant pee on u

I wrote a widget that auto-comments "I heard he shaves his pubes" on any news story about Mitt Romney, hit me up if you want the script

was just gonna wait six months to add this to ilx posts that haunt your thoughts

i look after things. all over. i don't like unkempt but there's nothing wrong with it, per se. quite often those that don't look after the hair don't look after the other things. tbh i'm always kinda surprised when i come across (...) the "natural" look now and gays are different so, whatever. do what you want.

I am a man and I systematically tape my pubic hair to the wall in chronological order

In fairness, I think I trim more out of concern for 'good design' than any sort of bodily issue.

"He's like Frank Gehry down there."

that's a terrible thing to be like.

thanks for asking, nick.

i like to keep my ballsac completely razored, and extend that up to the shaft, if there's anything happening at the base of it. i scissor down the top bush but don't go too short on it. i do all this in the shower. at the end of the session, i squat down and drag the mach 5 over my taint and the sides of my asshole.

1) for cleanliness
2) make it look bigger
3) encourage girls to suck my balls

what do you say to encourage them

I started waxing my little moustache recently and it was like a biore pore strip x1000 – it hit all the body terror/self-inflicted pain buttons that all the best grooming buttons hit. I can't imagine what it's like to get a Brazilian. Me and a friend were hanging out at a patio bar recently, watching a lightning storm, looking at the waxing parlor across the street. It has a clip art of a cat on the banner. We decided someday we should abuse some percocet and get out pubes ripped off together. That's really the only context I'd want to do it in, though – having a weird, borderline illegal ritual with a close gal pal. I think bush looks good.

dylann you are completely awesome imo

i don't say a damn thing. a tidily shaven ballsac does all the talking for me.

it's work enough trimming my facial hair 1-2x a month

i also like to think it looks natural, as if i was just naturally hairless on my balls, too. it's not in-your-face bald. there's hair on the thighs and up above but you know. so it doesn't look weird when i go to the bath house with my friend or change at the gym. the fucked up thing is that i often end up growing out a beard because i hate the pain and effort of running a razor across it. i also think i look slightly feminine and sleepy without any facial hair but i hate the beard, too, so i'm stuck in this fucked up position of trying to meet people for the first time when i have 2-3 days growth on my face at just the right darkness.

Ouch. This, in particular, was what I had in mind:

My pubescent hair is waxed like Poirot and I am considering pitshave to always have that meterosexualfresh zesty feelin

"prickly interregnum" are the only words I remember from the Joy of Sex.

I think I'll just arrange for everything EXCEPT my junk/sack to be absolutely covered in hair. It'll be like the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.

(sorry)

I'm sorry, guys. Forcing you lot to have to do this crap too or face the opprobrium of society, that was not the equality I signed up for.

yeah good thing that society has never expected men to shave sensitive parts of their body until recently.

does anyone else have a problem with earlobe hair? my dad has all of this disgusting hair growing out of his ear holes which thankfully I haven't started getting yet but I get hair on my earlobes which is really annoying.

ear hair sssssucks. easiest place to cut yourself shaving. definitely invest in an ear hair trimmer.

there is no way i am reading this thread but man, is it tempting when i scroll casually through a pubic hair thread and see mies van der rohe's brick country house project, like, ooh - - kinda into finding out the backstory on that one

Somebody on here must have the EMP Museum of Gehryian pubitechture.

that was not the equality I signed up for

Shaving the pubic hair is a confirmed Sunnah.

Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: Five are among the Fitra acts: "circumcision, shaving pubic hair, plucking out armpit hair, cutting one's nails and trimming one's mustache" . Muslim also reported from Anas (Radiya Allahu Anhu) that he said: A given period was limited to us as far as trimming the mustache, cutting one's nails, plucking out one's armpit hair and shaving one's pubic hair. We were told not to leave them for more than forty days . So, it is not advisable for the man or the woman to leave any of the above more than 40 days, as this is a Sunnah of cleanliness and a means to remove impurity.

So, technically, my architecture down there is arabesque.

i suspect that has to do with crabs more than anything but Sanpaku i don't really get your link

Nature evolved hair off of us so we can check out each other's hot bods - so men, keep goign with nature and finish the job

Fatwa No 86539: Shave the pubic hair regularly

pubic hair is not public hair !

i have learnt so much from this thread.

whether i act upon the advise is another matter, but still, ilx proves its worthiness yet again.

Hirsute men are hot. That being said, simian hair patterns are not.

I started getting nostril hair about a year ago and promptly invested in a terrifying little rotary hedge trimmer thing, because fuck nose hair. And a few months ago, I picked up a basic trimmer/shaver thing (to keep my forearms clear for maximum tattoo visibility) and went a little trigger-happy, and ended up doing my legs with the second-closest setting. Turns out it feels great in the summer, there's no itching or anything, and it looks fine.

xpost GAH. Man, if I ever start getting chest hair over my collarbone I am going to rip that shit out by the roots.

haha i had an american legion baseball coach long ago who was so hirsute that there was basically a line on his lower neck where he decided 'that's chest hair' and stopped shaving

and y'know it's rough because really, what are you gonna do? that guy was a dick, tho, so it was funny

I started getting nostril hair about a year ago and promptly invested in a terrifying little rotary hedge trimmer thing, because fuck nose hair.

I need to get one of those. I've always done mine with big hair cutting scissors and every time I have those up my nose it makes me picture that scene from The Dead Zone.

I want Sam Elliott's shirt!

have a friend with *nose hair* and it's a problem for me. how to broach?

just reach up there with a pair of tweezers when he's not looking and YANK

That's rude and, more importantly, unsubtle. "Accidentally" light them on fire with a cigarette.

Just say "hey mister you got some bats in your cave"

Wtf was Sam Elliott doing in Teen Beat?

Being fucking hairyhot, that's what.

OK I once dated a fitness guy who shaved/waxed his chest and guys lemme tell you pls dont do this: chest stubble is NAGL when youre um, getting the friction from it you know? Ow.

back stubble is also a no-no

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I do not believe that anyone who knows me could describe me as a beast man, but I am oddly fond of my body hair. I suppose in a way it means I am a bit like all the bears and dogs of which I am so fond.

People shaving their pubic hair is unnatural and wrong.

I want to be ok with bikini waxing, I really do. I've only had one experience with it though and I think it has left me scarred for life. I am not sure what I was expecting but it certainly didn't involve winding up on my hands and knees, holding my cheeks apart while a small Brazillian woman got closer to my bits than any gynaecologist ever has. Did I mention that the room had mirrors on all the walls? The whole situation resembled something out of a medical fetish porno. *shudders* That said, the results were fantastic. Until I get over that particular waxing experience, I'm sticking with shaving/trimming.

That sucks, man. The experiences I've had have been much nicer and discrete and involved no squatting of any kind. But, still painful.
