We all have hair down there; the question is what do you do about it? Do you do nothing? Or perhaps you shave your pubes, guys? Do you find shaved pubic hair more attractive? Why or why not?
As with all things in life, the answer to this question varies. Some of the gay men on Reddit, for example, say they prefer the natural look while the others go for the shaved pubes. Of course, there are also those who favor trimming their pubic hair.
For instance, MikeAlex01 is into the former. He said, “I love a hairy cock, so I say let the pubes go wild! Maybe trim a tiny bit, but don’t shave it off” while a guy whose username is GalahadGray disagrees a bit. For him, “It depends. Shaved or trimmed is good. Some full bushes are just… too much. Shaved balls, asses, and shafts are a must for me.”
Meanwhile, trimming seems a popular choice. A particular guy called Metrobear71 answered, “Trim. Don’t shave. Nothing weirder looking than a hairy dude with a bald triangle where his pubes should be. Also, shaved dicks look like hairless cats.”
Anyway, if you are into manscaping, you are not alone. According to a study, around 50.5% of the 4,198 men they surveyed—or a total of 2,120—do pubic hair grooming regularly. But why do they manscape?
The study found that “performing and receiving oral sex” is their main motivation. Further, they added:
The majority of men report grooming in preparation for sexual activity with a peak prevalence of 73% among men aged 25 to 34 years, followed by hygiene (61%) and routine care (44%). The majority of men who remove their pubic hair groom the hair above the penis (87%), followed by the scrotum (66%) and the penile shaft (57%).
For our Adam4Adam blog readers who do manscaping, can you relate to the reasons mentioned above or do you have another reason? Also, how much hair do you remove? Do you shave all of your pubic hair or just parts of it? Share with us your thoughts and stories in the comments section below.
There’s two things the interviewers in this article don’t mention: One is that all the “men are just sex crazed animals” garbage message young men are given in America by their society (media, teachers, etc) AND the thought that only things that are “clean” (food, sex, etc) are acceptable to everyone (i.e. the people making these societal “rules”). This sets up the thought that a man with a bush is “dirty” and therefore “threatening”. Bullshit. Men are then compelled to emasculate themselves by removing their pubes. Whenever I see a man with shaved-off pubes I wonder to myself, “What overpowering… Read more »
So you’re OK with a trim – for some of the same reasons I shave – but not shaving? Um… OK… And just how many faggots do you think have “overpowering females” in their lives who coerce them to shave their pubes!!?? Really? I dunno – maybe you’re bisexual and have a female bully in your life…. I shave cause I love how it feels, and looks, and how hot sex is with hairless pubes. Nobody makes me do it…
I shave completely for three reasons– 1) I have an average sized cock and a huge bush if untrimmed– so it makes my cock look tiny – -2) I HATE to spit hairs or try to get them out of the back of my throat when I am having oral sex with a man or a woman so I keep shaved as a courtesy – -3) I think it looks sexy. I have been with very hairy guys and find that sexy too- – so to each his own and always love what and who you love.
i think you got this dead on, it is to each his own, i personally dont like SHAVED pubed, it make me feel like i am with a 12 year old, not happening
I think it goes a bit deeper than just a surfaced “one size fits all” kind of way at looking at a guy that’s shaven & bald at that. I’ve done both personally & prefer to be trimmed or bald at times. I enjoy frottage against another guy that’s also shaven, just feels so freaking good & that smooth soft shaven lubed skin just makes for some seriously INTENSE orgasms. So there’s another point of view for you.
Condoms? What are those?
I love a good bush on a man, but I also love a smooth man as well.
I think shaving pubes or chests is wrong. It makes one look pubescent. I find it weird and don’t like men who shave their bodies. I like men with facial hair as well. This is what masculinity is all about. It differentiates us from women and children… Keep the hair men! Celebrate it!
Wrong? Pubescent? Weird? Seriously? And what differentiates men from woman and children is… Pubic hair?? Wow! And here I though maybe a cock might be it…
Unfortunately there are some like myself who don’t grow hair naturally and what I do grow is little more then gym pubes .Trust me I wish I could grow a beard or chest hair!
Amen to that! (see my own post below)
Agree 100%. I wanna get manhandled, not tweenhandled.
Then you must not like some Asian or Hispanic men then. Not everyone is born hairy, if much hair at all. So are they trying to look pubescent or is it something they not only mind but also can’t help?
…Love what you’ve got…and Love what you do!
weird? really? imo its like this with that attitude of yours you aint getting even a hand job. well maybe a hj.but settle down amigo. you are sounding like the weird one here.shaved is the only way to go.hair looks bad and tends to be more sweaty. a major turn off.
Shave It! Shave It! Shave It!
Who wants to go to the local barber to have his teeth cleaned? Plus, hair-in-the-gut causes an upset.
Keep hair where it belongs: on the top-of-the-head and apply a razor where it belongs!
Let’s keep our teeth clean & clear; Let’s not upset our stomachs or digestive systems and let’s keep our linens clean.
If your digestive system has problems with hair then you should see a physician immediately. Because of our environments humans ingest hair on a daily basis. Even the hair in your nose that breaks off ends up in your gut not to mention pet hair in food and the unidentified percentage of hair that the FDA allows in processed foods.
Obviously, you did not get the jest of what I wrote? I was being facetious not serious!
I agree 100%
HUGS & KISSES!
AT LAST, A DROP OF THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS FROM MOHAMMED!
Always remember…
we want to be smooth as silk and soft as a baby’s behind!
Allow our mouths to glide over the surfaces… to our favorite places…without the need to stop and remove hairs from in-between our teeth!
Boys!
I am grateful for the plethora of responses!
Must they, however, be all pejorative? Isn’t there a drop of “The Milk Of Human Kindness” to be found, anywhere?
Can there not be one A4A Member who agrees with Kasper? Must Kasper face complete and absolute condemnation?
Have pity on his soul and allow, one response, to be affirmative!
Unshaven preferred(but not a dealbreaker). For cock, scrotum, an ass, the more hair, the better.
As someone who only shaves only my face and thereby wasn’t asked to comment, I will anyway. Yes, I’m old school and in my early 60s. But this topic touches a nerve of sorts for me because even though I prefer guys with only some body hair (bears turn me off), I find a guy’s body hair above the dick and elsewhere a significant part of the appeal. Here’s the ‘touches a nerve’ part: One time about 20 years ago, I went down on a guy only to notice that he had shaved the hair above his cock maybe 2-3… Read more »
Hey guys I dont shave but I do a trim. One reason is I enjoy giving full body nude massages and it is easier when you don’t have alot of hair to work around. And the shaft does look bigger and more eager to please. I live in Orlando and would love to find a buddy to trade body trim with Yes its hard to do the back as well as your ass and the jock strap looks even hotter when you are neat and trim
Matt: I’ll go back to my original post on this subject: females in our society have determined that pubes are “dirty” and therefore not appealing. Since the early 1970’s men have been emasculated by our society. In the past 15 or so years we’ve been hearing in the media about “clean” food et cetera (what the hell is “clean food”? Like anybody wants to eat dirty food???). Since women now raise the majority of male children single handedly in America they have convinced our boys/young men that pubes are bad. These women love it when men shave off pubes keeping… Read more »
It makes me feel cleaner. In addition, I am traumatized every time I give oral to someone and invariably the damn hair ends up in my throat (forget the flossing at least one member has mentioned). That is the most uncomfortable feeling and is distracting to the point that the sex becomes more of a burden. No matter what I do, I cannot take it out.
Trimmed pubes and smooth shaved balls are a big turn on
A shaved cock looks bigger and shaving makes it more visible. You can also see more of his boner if he is shaved. Also I tend to think of shaved guys as being cleaner. If he takes the time to take care of his appearance h is probably also showering and who doesnt like a clean cock?
Thanks for all your responses/feedback guys. I guess for me, the comment made by Greg above most resonates. Among others, you said this: “I like the feel of buzzed pubic hair and underarm hair. I prefer guys who are naturally smooth, and guys who shave/trim approximate that. I was never into the bear/otter look.” For your first like, the thing I don’t like about buzzed or shaved is how the cut-off hairs feel – very sharp/pointy and unnatural feeling. For your second like, I also prefer guys who are naturally smooth(ish), but I disagree that shaving/buzzing approximates that. And I’ve… Read more »
Some guys are super hairy everywhere and can carry it well. It fits them perfectly! Other guys are hairy and feel a need to trim. That fits for them. Some guys have hair and want to make it go away from everywhere. That work works for them. There are guys who are attracted to each one of them. Hooray for us all! I’m attracted to men. Not women. Not young boys. For me if I have to pause and spit out a hair that has ended up in my mouth, it means I am having a fun time with a… Read more »
So about the news that Gus Kenworthy has gone over to the other team?
This it to the editors of this blog – I just wrote two response to posts here but neither one is here. What’s the problem? I’ve had this same thing happen before and it baffles me. I use my name and email and you can confirm I have an account with Adam. And I wrote respectful posts. I’m so frustrated by this… Why should I bother if you won’t “approve” anything I write, for whatever reason! Can you please give me an answer to this? Thanks much!
Sadly queens will be queens especially those in charge unfortunately. Those who push for censorship will themselves be the same ones SCREAMING when it happens to them. This may or may not make it, cause I’ve dealt with something similar on another website called RealJock, talk about caddy, spiteful, editions there, wow.
I love smooth shaven guys.
Love a hairy bush if too hairy trim it but not go all the way
This might sound creepy, but as I got older and it turned gray down there, it was disturbing for me, so I shaves em off and I absolutely love it
nothing more sexy and appealing than a natural man. not looking for someone who looks like they are just beginning puberty
I like a guy with hair down there When I see a guy that shaves it looks like a kid with a big penis a real turn off for me
SHAVED!!!! I shave almost everything. My forearms and thighs down are trimmed close. Shaved smooth chest, pits, pubes and ass. I just despise body hair. I am in heaven when I have sex with other smooth kinky guys!!
I have hair all over and as such I am all natural. This being said, my personal opinion is trim to natural. I don’t trim as I am lazy in that respect and just have better things to do with my time. Also I have tried trimming and that actually takes more time and care than full out shaving. If you are naturally smooth that is hot but I’d rather not get razor burn from your day old+ stubble. Part of being a man is having hair!
Trimmed is best. Stubble makes my tongue sore, lol
For me, Guys must never go completely smooth. I like to me with and service a MAN. Not or to be confused with any other type of human. I will say that I don’t appreciate a bush gone wild. If I wanted hair in my mouth. There is the top pf your head or your arm pits.
I love a shaved cock nothing I hate more than hair in my mouth while I’m giving him head if I have to stop and pick hair out of my mouth then it takes all the fun out of giving him pleasure and the same for me nothing better than a hot smooth cock to suck on
I have a preference for shaved. There is nothing worse than get a pubic hair caught in your throat….
Shaved pubes makes a man look like a little boy and I am NOT interested in being with a little boy. The more hair the better!
I don’t want it shaved
I used to trim the bush, and I would shave shaft, sac, taint, and crack. Now, I shave only the shaft, and I leave the rest. I used to prefer hairless chests, and furry cracks and hips were annoying. But now, I appreciate the natural hair. It simply dawned on me, when I saw a sexy straight friend pull off his shirt, and a large patch of chest hair contrasted with his boyish face: hair is part of his uniqueness. I know we are focused on pubic hair, but it follows from that concept. Hair is part of him. Hair… Read more »
Trimmed bush,shaved cock,balls and ass heightens sensitivity
Two points: I think it depends on the person. Example: I think Ashton Kutcher looks sexy with his baby smooth hairless body and a younger version Tom Selleck look sexy with his hairy body. Me personally prefer to trim my azz hairs during the hot, sweaty, summer months. I feel cleaner back there trimmed. After a long soaking bath, I use my favorite sweet- smelling lotion (Noir by bath and body works) and lotion my entire body. I feel super clean back there all day.
If it’s out of control then a little trimming is ok. Otherwise shaved pubes, chest & stomach make my dick go limp.. Just to feminine..feels like chicken skin and looks boyish. Masculine natural hair is a big turn on for me except for back hair, that’s not appealing. If one is naturally smooth that’s not my preference but at least there is some faint pubic hair. Anyway, i’m not sure where this trend started but i’m not into shaved bodies.
I’m enjoying living in the 60s for the second time in my life, and at this age I’m just as unhairy as l was at 20. I am who l am and I’m not changing. If someone has issues with that, than that’s their problem. I’m tired of trying to adjust to accommodate other people’s desires, at 60 for once they can fucking adjust their taste to accommodate me for a change. I’ve always found it odd that people struggle to find “the one”, and are so relieved to finally find that perfect person only to start wanting to change… Read more »
Not. Not. NOT.
Full pubes, or somewhat trimmed. Shaved… NO, GROSS. I do not want a crotch that looks prepubescent.
I am all in on shaving. everything. It’s not to feminize myself I just enjoy the look of no hair.
Shaving is a definite deal breaker. Its like hacking off one of your balls for gods sake. I m 64 years old and have been at this game for close to 50 years. For me its like something is “missing” . In my day a guy couldnt wait til he got pubic hair. I can understand some twinks that want to feminize their look but for a man to do it is ridiculous. Especially older guys. Who the hell wants to see that chickenfat??? Like a campsite in the middle of a forest!!! This whole shaving thing began in the… Read more »
No shave! No shave! No shave! Pubes are so sexy… especially when it’s a thick bush!
I much prefer a man’s body left as is – no shaving or trimming any body hair. I consider myself, unfortunately, “body bald” and I wish that weren’t the case. I love body hair. I am not interested in naked boys and when a man’s body hair is removed – especially pubic hair – I feel like he looks like a prepubescent male. That is just not attractive to me…no matter HOW large his erection might be. Body hair is nature’s way of showing you’re a man, not a boy.
Reminds of an overnight date: clean-shaven, tall, handsome, athletic, brunette-brown-eyed, great head of hair, sweet gentle man; we pulled of our clothes and there it was. I had no idea, just how clean-shaven he really was, lmao, just a prefect big, beautiful dick and no hair at all, it remined me of those ducks that hang in some Asian restaurants, lmao, total turn-off. I just LOVE hairy men, even if it’s on their backs, I can see a trim but not totally shaved off completely baby smooth.
Shaved or trimmed extremely low is a must for me. Hairy genitals, asses and bodies are indicators of poor personal hygiene as the hair traps sweat and dust particles therefore creating unpleasant body odors plus performing oral sex on a hairy cock is a no for me as the hair gets trapped between the teeth and can also get swallowed which is just nasty.
Practice proper grooming, no one in their right mind wants to sleep with a prehistoric cave beast
Love smooth cocks. Some hair is ok, but a fur coat on the junk is not hot at all. Love myself shaved smooth. Only bad thing being smooth, when a scruffy guys face bottoms out on your pubic area. The bristles are kind of unfun. Do what ya like and like what ya do!
I prefer hairy partners, but I appreciate minimal hair on his nuts. It’s off putting feeling the hair in one’s mouth while sucking or licking his jewels.
Absolutely, Tim! I love a big crop of pubic hair, but also love a guy with shaved nuts. They are so soft.
Trimming is okay but shaved is a game changer. It is an absolute turn off for me.
I appreciate a shaved everything below the naval, front and back. That is how I keep mine, nice and clean, and I shave every other day to keep it smooth.
I myself have been shaving my cock and balls for 6-7 years and now shaving my entire body as a CD and normally I like shaved more but depending on the man sometimes some hair down there is interesting at times
It’s clean and smooth
I love when a guy shaves his taint. ass, cock , balls and leave a lick strip for his pubes. I feel it is so damn hot to feel his smooth body, ass, cock and those sweet cum filled balls. No need to worry about getting those hairs in your mouth to ruin the moment. Having a stud being smooth excites the moment and both can enjoy the slickest moments of rubbing cocks together and feeling those hairless balls- they even taste better without hair on them. His taint and sweet ass are so smooth, that you both will be… Read more »
Prefer a nice bush
I just shave my scrotum and shaft to heighten the pleasure of feeling a mouth, lips and tongue pleasure me in those areas. All other body hair is intact. Including the face.
makes my little cock look …less littler
Not in2 dudes that shave or trim. Not in2 seeing razor or chafing bumps. Let it all grow out. Makes that area smell even better.
I just want to have fun. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the tall grass or the putting green.
For my 2 cents, I prune and shave in summer to avoid chafing while working in the heat which I learned in Africa on the northern Sahara desert the hard way. I do not have a real prefence for either shaved or full bush. I do find that nicely trimmed means less hair in my teeth and mouth which can be unpleasent.
Love a shaved guy love to lick a nice smooth pair of ball while I’m deep throating a cock smooth cock and balls makes me hot af
If I’m going down on a guy he needs to be shaved or trimmed at least. I hate getting hair in my mouth & the last thing I wanna do is floss one’s left over protein out of my teeth with his pubes. Plus when there’s a BIG bush down there it traps odors, makes it easier to sweat in that area, as well as traps moister which contributes to odors, bacteria, etc.
