To Shave, or Not to Shave?

erotica_scoop

That is the question.
My answer is, absolutely. I just spent some quality time taking care of nature’s overgrowth before a long hot soak in the tub with a little oil. It feels great.
Depubing your privates goes a long way to improving sex. Personally, not only does a guy’s facial stubble enhance my oral experience, but so does being relatively hairless where it counts.
I’ve said it before, oral puts the pleasure in sex. For me, there’s nothing quite so enthralling as well-done oral. (Of course, a girl can’t live on oral alone.)
But oral can be a dirty job. In which case, I say: Run like the fucking wind.
Let’s face it. Better hygiene gets you better service.
Spelunking can be downright nasty when you don’t know what you’re about to encounter. This is true of cavernous spaces as well as muff and cock.
Now, I realize hair is natural. There are those who will wax poetic about keeping your pubes intact. In fact, once upon a time, I used to preserve my forests. It wasn’t a moralistic thing, though. It was all about razor burn.
It’s bad enough to have razor burn anywhere on your body, but to have it between your legs, in the folds of the skin, is damned unnecessary.
That’s one of the problems with “maintenance.” For those of us with sensitive skin, it can be a chore. Fortunately, thanks to lovely chemists and chemicals, the gods of the Bunsen burner have made it possible to go mostly hairless without the nasty skin reactions.
So the question is, why should anyone resort to harsh chemicals, razor burn, waxing, or electrolosys just to remove hair that belongs where you found it?
Because there ain’t no food group that includes hair. Because there are better ways to floss.

Now, I enjoy giving head. I do. If the guy is clean and trimmed, that is. Hygiene means I’ll go the extra mile to give that extra special service. If things ain’t spiff? You’re banished to the quickie lane, my friends. Trust me, it’s better I linger and do a little detailing. But do your share.
Body odor? Don’t even pass go. Too hairy down there? I’ll be cut off at the path.
After all, oral pleasure isn’t about routine. It’s about moving around and applying pressure, sucking, nibbling, licking, and massaging all over the region. It’s not about just the head or the clit. It’s about the inner thighs and everything in between. Without excessive hair, a lover feels more like roaming and nibbling. Face it, skin tastes awesome. Hair, not so much.
Besides, too much hair robs you of some great sensations.
For example, that tingling, arousing feeling that hits you when your partner pauses mid-oral, and you’re sopping from a mixture of saliva and your juices, and they lean almost completely in, hovering, and breathe long, hot, slow breaths onto your your moist skin, causing this titillating mix of hot/cold that’s enhanced by their breathy breeze. It’s like the perfect day at the beach.
These days, I may not “shave” per se, but I’m very well trimmed. I praise the makers of Veet and other fine products for making my life a little more comfortable and sexy. I can’t believe I ever tolerated the bushlands, because I now find it itchy and the wrong kind of moist. I enjoy the extra attention my lovers give me.
That said, I gotta say, it’s nice to see more guys caring about their coiffs now. If it helps to do the job better…
After all, it’s very empowering to deliver quality oral, and taking the long, twisted, scenic route makes it all the more rewarding.
When proper forestry practices are maintained, of course.

    Gotta admit, it’s something I’ve considered for a while but never quite got round to – until this morning!

    Looking forward to the reaction to my efforts… 🙂

    You should come back and share!

    What prompted the decision to curb the coiff? “Was it something I said?”

    But good for you. I gotta say, it’s nice to have a little less down there during a hot summer, too.

    i love the picture across the top of your blog (header?) it’s fabulous.

    and on the subject of the post, cash flow probs recently made me not be waxed for a few months. and it was all kinds of wrong especially in the hot hot summer heat. and luckily, just yesterday i rectified the problem thank’s to a new beautician i found near chinatown (TO).

    keep this up (got here via Mimi)

    Thanks for the compliment. The banner was just picking a bunch of photos I liked, converting ’em to black and white, resizing ’em, and pasting ’em together in a single file. Quite fun. I’m pleased, and glad it’s going over well, too.

    It’s amazing how much money’s connected to having self-esteem. Without it, the wrong clothes, wrong looks, and just too damned much hair. Heh.

    Yer a Canuck? Lovely!

    Thank god for Chinatown. 😉

  5. therocks

    no i’m an Irish! living here since last year though.

    luckily not having much money is never an obstacle in Chinatown where fruit n veg for a week with a few cans of coconut milk thrown in cost about a quarter 🙂

    I’m amazed when I talk to or listen to people beyond my little circle of friends that don’t trim up.

    I’ve been manscaping for 7 or 8 years now, and although it’s not discussed in great detail among my friends, they all do it too.

  7. Grover

    I’ve done it. Unfortunately, it itched like a motherfucker when the pubes started growing back. Did make me look bigger, though. 🙂

  8. scribe called steff

    Rocks — Cool! What brings you to Canada, then?

    I’m Irish-Canadian, but the fam’s been here three generations now.

    Mark — It gets unpleasant. I think it’s getting more common to trim, but that’s a recent thing.

    Thanks for coming.

    Grover — Somethin’ to be said for looking bigger, at least. Heh. Trimming’s adequate.

    I have to say that picture of the two chicks is too hot! 😛

    Too be honest, if I had my way I would eliminate all hair from my body, except mt head at least until baldness sets in. I get really close from my own upkeep, mind you. I am really not attached to body hair at all. I used to sport the bic’d look back in the day and I think it is a really clean feeling/sensation especially after a hot shower.

    At present I manscape regularly and tend to my back at all times. I hate the way hair grows on my back (thanks dad) and abs so off it goes. I keep a thin layer on my chest off and on but never let it grow obnoxious.

    I also appreciate a rather porcelain honey pot, but usually if the chick doesn’t have one I offer to give her a “lady shave.” I tell you shaving the honey pot is a lot easier than a face!

    peace

    those girls get me giddy, and i’m straight. sizzlin’.

    i always find it hot when a guy wants to shave my legs, so i’m sure i might enjoy being trimmed before the act. that would likely be a very hot experience.

    i dig things that involve trust. i think it’s sexy and hot when you have to have faith in your partner. i like the lack of control, and finding out my faith was well-placed. mind you, i enjoy having all the control, too… very flexible.

    but yeah, those things always make me a little wild.

    I went for my first brazilian almost 3 years ago. Haven’t looked back. Never will. LOVE it for so many reasons.

    Great blog. Keep it up!

  12. scribe called steff

    jas — i still have to screw up the courage. i hate pain. i’ll get around to it.

    penny — thanks!

    too bizarre that we found similar photos which led to similar thoughts on hair.

    yours was first chronologically, but I swear this is my first time over here, tempted by your comment on my blog about sex toys.

    freaky cool…

    I waxed – all of it.

    AND

    I waxed for someone else. (People say that’s lame – if you are going to do it, you should do it for yourself – I say BULLSHIT, you would never go through that much hassle for yourself.)

    I like the look and the feel. At first it’s very sensative, but that does go away after a while. And I do kind of miss the sensation of having the roots of those little hairs manipulated.

    My biggest problem is with ingrown hairs. “Loofah!” they say! Sure, I loofah like mad (which is probably why the sensitiveness wanes). But from time to time, you still get those seriously ugly little buggers that have decided they’re going to grow out UNDER the skin instead of over it. And getting rid of them is not only a bitch, but supremely unsightly too.

    Trim…wax…trim…wax: six of one, half a dozen of the other, in my view.

    Hugs,

    rg
