Should I Shave?
I recently got together with a wonderful girl who requested that I “manscape” my pubic region. It’s never been a problem with any other partner, and I don’t really have a good idea of where to begin. Can you offer some advice on techniques or products for this?
Well, first of all, you shouldn’t think of your pubic hair as a “problem”. It really is all about preference and personal style. Though it’s also true that manscaping, both in general and particularly the pubic region, has become a prevalent trend in guy grooming techniques recently. Perhaps the best way to think about it is one of perspective.
Do you ask your ladies to be clean-shaven of their body hair? Do you prefer that a woman be au naturel in her pubic region or do you ask her to shave that as well? While many men don’t give this a great deal of thought, even the trend of feminine grooming in that region is relatively recent, and should not be taken for granted as something girls just “have” to do for anyone but themselves.
So, if you’re still on the fence about grooming your pubic hair, we’ll cover some of the basic reasons why it can actually be really awesome, as well as offer some pointers on technique.
Manscaping Benefits
So, you’ve come to a crossroads, young man. A gauntlet has been thrown, and now you must choose the manner of your actions. Seriously though, grooming your pubic region can be a gratifying exercise for you, as well as pleasing to your partner of choice.
It’s not as difficult as it sounds, and hardly needs to be a painful experience. Here are some of the reasons why it can be awesome.
1. Clearing the Underbrush
Grooming your pubic region may be the best idea you never had. For one, it makes your penis look larger, because there’s no thatch of short n’ curlies hiding your endowment. It will boost your ego and also elicit a pleased reaction from your partner for several reasons.
2. Better Sex
It’s not that it will actively do anything to boost your prowess, but grooming your gear will have an impact on the sex you have. First, if you choose to shave or otherwise rid the area of hair entirely, it will amp up your body’s response to sensations, making your intimate moments feel that much more intense.
3. Partner Response
Especially if you’ve chosen to groom at a partner’s request, you can be sure that she’ll thank you in the best way possible. Consider how you might feel if a well-groomed pubis was something you felt was essential in a partner for a productive and enjoyable sex life. If they respond to your request by grooming themselves in a way that you find pleasing, don’t you want to show your appreciation and admire their hard work?
4. Hygiene
It might seem odd, but removing hair from any portion of your anatomy where it grows thickly is actually very good for your hygiene. It reduces odors, makes your ablutions more effective, and also can be good for your skin to catch a breather every now and again.
How To Manscape Your Pubic Area
There are a number of ways you can accomplish this task, though each has its pros and cons and there is no single correct solution. We recommend trimming, since it’s the easiest to achieve and maintain with the help of an inexpensive electric trimmer.
If you go this route, leave about ½ an inch of hair to avoid itching. Also, do yourself and everyone who shares a bathroom with you and stand in the bathtub.
Trimming dry hair can be a mess, and that’s not something you want to have to spend a lot of time cleaning up. Some of the alternative methods you could employ are listed below with their pros and cons attached.
Shaving Pros: Silky smooth skin and neat appearance.
Cons: It itches when it begins to grow back, ingrown hairs, razor burn, and stubble if not maintained every 2-3 days.
Depilatories Pros: Very smooth finish.
Cons: Harsh chemical smell, and a potential for contact dermatitis due to allergies.
Waxing Pros: Extremely smooth finish that lasts far longer than shaving or waxing.
Cons: It hurts and can be quite expensive.
There are other methods you can investigate, such as electrolysis or laser hair removal, but they tend to be expensive and often produce unsatisfactory results for a variety of reasons. We hope this has been informative and helpful for you.
It should be apparent that there are a number of benefits to doing a little manscaping on your own time. It can boost the intimacy of your interactions, enhance your enjoyment of sex, and please the ladies who are doing their level best to please you. We see it as a win-win.
