Shaving or trimming your privates at our age?
Posted: 11/4/2009 5:03:59 AM
I was reading a thread in the 'sex and dating' forums about the "shaving craze" as they called it - the shaving and/or trimming of one's private area. It got me to wondering, is this just a thing for the younger crowd.... or is it something that is also "the norm" in our age group? I couldn't help but think that it could get a little dangerous considering how our hands start to shake, etc. once we get older.... or if we become diabetic and our sugar levels go high or low and we get the shakey hand thing going on. (Yes, I am diabetic, and my hands shake when my sugars go low.)

I would love to hear what others have to say on this subject... feedback???

I have started shaving and thought it really is a source of rectal discomfort i have found that females love it so i guess it`s worth it and yes it`s tedious but i have yet to slice anything away. I`d guess it`s easier for women and while a clean shave is great for dining purposes it`s not required as long as a bushhog isn`t necessary to find my way.

I've, at times, had it both ways. Some partners preferred it shaved and some didn't. I prefer it trimmed, instead of shaved. The stubble is very irritating and uncomfortable and I'm not about to have it waxed. I do have women friends who shave completely and others who don't. It's like anything else... a personal preference.

Well if you are a swimmer like I am you do have to partially shave it.. and trim the rest..
Otherwise you would be hanging out of your suit sort of speak and I like my suits very high cut on the leg.

So for me it is a simple practical solution and nothing more.

I am not necessarily asking for your own personal hygiene habits... but women talk... and men do too.... and we DO tend to sleep with the opposite gender - or even the same gender, if that is your preference. What have been your observations in your travels and conversations with others?

I honestly wonder if this is more of an age-related issue than anything. At what age do people start doing what works for them and not necessarily following "the latest thing?"

I was circumcised at a very young age. I don't want to shave or trim anymore off !
Does this fall under to much information?

I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's an individual thing. To each his own, and I frankly don't care to know.

What I think will happen if this thread passes the delete/don't delete test and has the chance to go on, you will find that most (not all) tell you their experience, whether they shave or not....like message #2 did above. And that is where I get the "gaggies".

I am sure that a lot will think of me as a prude, and again, I don't care. I know that my life experience proves that I am not, but I don't go around blabbing about it on the internet.

There, now, I think I have sufficiently made myself appear to be a good second for "the church lady" so I'll get off my soapbox now.

Long time ago I dated a man who shaved ‘down there.’ As well as looking a bit weird, it was not a pleasant experience. Don’t do it guys...

I think it's more esthetically appealing to just shave it off, especially if it's turning gray. It's like a moustache or beard on a man that's turning gray - it can age a person.

^^oh lordy, I can see a new thread on its way - "Do men like grey pubic hair?"
"Well, mine's not really grey. It's more a silver/white".
Hey artz, haven't you read how shaving it off makes a man's best friend look bigger?

Post 13 - but what is wrong with showing our age, as long as we take care of ourselves?
I am not one of these "forever young" advocates, sorry.... I think we should embrace our age and the experience and maturity we have gained with it. I am not one to appear as anything but the person I am... LOL... as my posting history will show. Yeah, I know a bit of a nutbar with an inquiring mind - as those who know me would agree.

Showing your age is fine for some people, but it's not for me. It's a personal preference. "Taking care of myself" also encompasses maintaining a youthful appearance and outlook.

There is some thing funny about it at times, I like women, not 8yr old girls, that can get to me at times. Not a deal breaker and what ever we figure out will work, differences to get comfortable with or adapt to.

No hair below the eyebrows for the past 20 years, chemo made it easy but then I had no eyebrows either!

Personally I like a well groomed man...as one of the guys I worked with said once...it's his wife's playground...he wants her to play a long time!

Trimming is a good thing.
Not to much, and no shaving. I am pretty safe with a pair of scissors.

You can always get those round ended ones we had in Kindergarten.
Have a glass of juice first something or go natural.

Age does not make you shake..unless there is a reason physically behind it.
Gawd how many people my age can think and BE so old, when we have so many good years to go.

I understand your blood sugar, but age? Nah. I can still rock it.


.i have a very hairy ass too .

Nair that azz...LMAO some fuzz ok

I say - leave it to the young ones.

The first bald beaver I saw (on a 40 something gal) - I said to myself .......

1. how silly
2. I guess she is ready for action - at all times - with all guys.


Besides - I found out how to find it years ago. That was long before the shave it days so ........

I need the hair for navigational purposes.

I like a trimmed or shaven nether region.....its more hygenic and appealing to me. It also tells me he cares about himself like getting regular hair cuts, trimming of toe nails and finger nails, trimming or plucking other stray hairs.....also back hair is a huge turn off and needs to be tended too also.

My fiance is finally letting all of his hair grow back. I think a man should be a man. I like hair. My fiance would go to the gym where guys think their chests look better shaved. I don't care what they think, it is me that sees it.

I am not a hairy person, red headed complexion and hairs etc., and totally straight hair every where, so have been a trimmer. The fiance likes less hair. So that means my summer bathing suit style is now year round. I just wish there was something easier to do with the daggone nose hairs that insist on growing straight out the nose...gahhhhh

I shave as one of my friends likes it that way. Not a big deal. Most of the younger women I know shave and they want you too as well. I do miss going down on a girl with a full bush. I guess that is a 70's thing.

LMAO! What an appropriate screen name for this thread! This really is a horrible visual.

I like nice, neat, clean, trimmed. It just seems more hygenic.

My preference is that pubic hair be trimmed to a landing strip on most women.
I trim myself, too.
