Let’s talk about pubic grooming preferences. Do you keep things au naturel down there, or do you love waxing, shaving, or trimming? For you, is it more about the physical comfort of being hair-free, or a conscious decision based on how you want to look? Is this a deeply ingrained habit, a fleeting trend, or something you do to feel more confident and to be more hygienic? What influences your nether grooming style?
We are diving into this topic because a gay man online recently asked, “Do you trim your pubes?” He added:
I’m Asian in Hawaii. I don’t trim, and I like it when it grows wild within the public triangle. I didn’t even realize guys commonly do this till a friend told me to, and I started to ask around.
Do you trim?
Do you shave?
Where do you live, and what ethnicity are you?
For some gay men, grooming is about balance, keeping things clean without going too far. One guy explained how it ties into his overall look: “I am white from Norway. I usually trim it down so it’s neat, but still there. As a person with hair on my chest, I find it would look silly being totally hairless down there, while I still want it to be neat.”
On the other hand, others don’t see the need to trim at all, like this guy who shared, “Heck, I don’t trim. I love it when my partner puts his fingers in my bush, and I get to do the same!”
In addition, some guys are trimming certain areas while shaving others: “White, US, brown hair. I trim my bush down pretty low, 3 guard, and shave balls and the random hairs that grow in the bottom side of my dick.”
Further, there’s also the perception that grooming habits vary depending on where you are from, like this guy who shared, “Yes, everyone in Europe does it. Trimming, I mean.”
Whether that’s fully accurate or not, it reflects how cultural norms can influence what people see as “standard.”
Meanwhile, some guys go all-in when it comes to hair removal: “I’ve had everything from my knees to my neck lasered off. Love it.” For them, it’s about long-term convenience and a specific aesthetic—no upkeep, no variation.
Then there are those who embrace the natural look completely: “Big untamed ginger bush.”
No trimming, no shaping, just letting their pubic hair be what it is.
Lastly, some gay men adjust based on the season or environment. One man admitted, “I do both actually. Normally shave in the summer due to heat humidity and sweat. Once it grows back, give a low, tight trim during the winter.” For this guy, practicality plays a role; his comfort changes depending on weather, activity, and lifestyle.
There’s no single right way to groom. Some prefer clean lines, others prefer natural growth, and many fall somewhere in between.
And often, it’s not just about what people like, it’s about what makes them feel comfortable, confident, and maybe even more attractive to the people they’re with.
Because grooming, like most things, is personal.
Having said all that, what about you, Adam4Adam blog readers? What’s your grooming style down there? Do you keep it neat, go completely smooth, or leave it natural? Is it about comfort, appearance, or habit? And do you care what your partner prefers?
I shave my balls but i like the look of a bush so i leave that. I have hairy legs so if i shave the bush it would look weird. But on other men i love a thick bush to burry my face in. That musky smell is intoxicating to me
Hell yes!! Agreed completely and very much my own style of grooming. Give me a hairy dude any day!
Trimming pubic hair is an American thing. In the 90’s American gay men started following feminine sexuality. Making your crotch look like a pussy became the rage. I prefer masculine guys with natural hair. As for this era of black men braiding their crotch hair…yuk.
Agreed!!
It’s a commercial trend victimizing and exploiting gay men to make money on unnecessary products. It is also a feminizing of men, an anti-masculine trend, probably borrowed over from women.
Pubic hair is nasty and looks uncivilized . I’m totally clean shaven.
Natural is best, Natural is masculine, That said I don’t turn down a shaved or trim crotch. I would like to see a dread crotch.
How uncivilized. Stubble is not sexy. Shaved hair has sharp ends.
I’m 66 so I guess I’m old school. I prefer less vs. more body hair but leave it be. I find any shaving/trimming/waxing, etc. a complete turnoff. Even if I’m with a much younger totally smooth guy, I like whatever locks of body hair he has left intact.
Nothing sexier than (mocha) black hairless crotch and bussy.
It depends on how their hair grows. If it is sporadic, then shaving is a possible improvement.
For Me I prefer GROOMED, Manscaped but then again I am not really hairy to begin with. I keep my balls shaved and smooth and my ass is baby smooth including the crack. (Probably why they all want to bury their face in it,lol). As for a Partner, I really do not care about some amount of hair but it better be under control. I will say I dated a Guy that was a Big Dude for starter, 6’5 220 that was hung like a Bull and was completely SMOOTH, Hairless. He was very athletic and had an incredible body… Read more »
Risking a razor cut anywhere near the genitals is crazy.
I’ve waffled with the idea of asking one of my FWBs to help me with grooming my pubes, cock, and balls. It’d involve using a comb to lift the hairs on my balls and the base of my cock. Running a trimmer along the comb, once it has hairs lifted. All would be safe. No razor or trimmer cuts because the comb would always be in between. I do this myself, but the results are always iffy. At some point, when a bud and are happily spent and chatting, maybe I’ll get the balls to say, “I need a favor… Read more »
The Guy I am currently seeing surprised Me when he disrobed and I discovered a completely shaved pretty athletic body for a Guy in his 60s, Divorced and recently out of the closet. He told Me he saw so many buff Guys at the Gym that got his attention and he figured Why not? He likes that I have very light to little hair myself and says he loves a baby smooth set of CAKES. I asked whether he wanted to incorporate that into Play and he was All Over That but then again he is into trying All kinds… Read more »
I trim the hair around the base of my cock and keep my scrotum hair short, otherwise bush. I find by trimming the base of my cock oral sex feels more sensitive and when I Top I like to get in deep an not have the hair get in the way. I prefer hair on a dude’s cock and balls. Everyone has their own preference.
I shave it off i have been doing it for many years and it’s the only way I like it it has nothing to do with making my dick look bigger it’s just the way I like it and I perfer guys that are shaved also only because pubic hair holds smell and I don’t want to smell your piss when I’m sucking on a cock everyone has there own thing this is mine thanks for reading
And I agree with you 200% Prime69. It’s a personal thing but guys, please wash better down there. Prime is right. Pubic hair holds the smell and it’s piss and funk!!!! Thumbs down all you want. Wash your ass and nutts!!! Lol
Scrub a dub dub! Two or MORE men in a TUB!!! Or shower. Lolololol
crotch smell, — the smell of Masculinity. I want a man that smells like a man.
That’s not the smell of a man. It’s the smell of an unwashed, dirty man. I honor everyone’s right to their preferences, but suggesting that having balls with only a light musk smell (or better yet no smell at all) is not masculine is ignorant.
It makes you look pubescent, not making genitals look larger, that’s a myth.
Shaved smooth! Love that feeling!
Yessssssss! It’s far more radiant and sultry. It feels so much better . Looks sexier when you really spread your legs too. So many men come to my room when they see it.
Indeed! I started doing it when I was in my early twenties.. I would go to New Orleans to a really amazing private gay sex club there. I’ve always been totally smooth naturally so trimming pubic hair seemed absolutely a good decision. I could not believe how much attention a smooth 145 lb gay 23-year-old could get until then…lol. it’s also where I first experience being in a sex swing so let’s just say I became incredibly popular when I would get cuffed into it. So smooth it is for me, although I have no problem with anyone else’s grooming… Read more »
I used to go to the sex club on Toulouse in New Orleans. I don’t know how I didn’t get pregnant with all that cum! So I get it!
I have always preferred to have a bush, and I like whoever I get with to have a bush. I can accept if he trims it, but I somehow find it more sexy with its random shape. I like that touching it stimulates all of the follicles, and that arousal collects his scent more easily, a cue for me. I do like the shaft to be hairless. Hairless sac is convenient, especially if some CB bondage is possible, but that is not so essential as a hairless shaft. For that matter, I always prefer a man to have the hair… Read more »
It seems like you might have some stuff to work through. In one breath you say shaved nuts are good for CB bondage, but in the next you say it’s going to kill your libido and in another that it makes you feel like a perv to deal with if.
Shaved shouldn’t make you think of the exploited. The two are disparate subjects. Hope you figure it all out.
I said seeing someone with a shaved BUSH made me feel like a perv. I never contradicted myself. Read it again and see. You are the one who is confused.
I trim, shave it down. I do it for hygiene, the heat of the summer.
Dont understand why shaving does anything for hygiens. More likely i would think to cause nicks that could get infected

I’ve always been more into hairy masculine men, but below the belt I prefer someone that does some grooming. I do not enjoy choking on hairs and picking them out of my teeth. As a curtesy I trim down below and shave my nut-sack. However, I do not care for the bald prepubescent look.
If I’m picking a guy’s pubic hair out of my teeth, it means his cock has been in my mouth. A good day!
Men belch, fart, and sometimes smell like men a bit even shortly after showering, too. All’s good! I wouldn’t want a partner scentless or smelling of deodorant, scented soap, or cologne. I like it when a man has the scent of a man. Not a woman or something manufactured.
I think you’re just into funky men. Please don’t rationalize, it’s your life. Do as you feel.
Thank you Eric. You’re my kinda guy!!!
I trim.
I appreciate that some people love the wild look. I am not that person, and I try to be respectful if they want to give me head. When I give blowjobs, the worst part is CONSTANTLY pausing to pull a stray hair off my tongue or from between my teeth. No thank you.
I keep myself totally shaved. I have not met a man who doesn’t enjoy my shaved cock, balls and ass. On the other side, I also love shaved men.
I would say they enjoied your cock but might they have likex it better more natural?
If the guy I’m with shaves down below, I want him shaved, no stubble. The last thing I want is to deep throat some dude and get my lips ripped up on his 5 o’clock shadow. A regular bush is fine, I just prefer that the base is trimmed back. I hate getting pubes stuck between my teeth. As far as me, I have ghastly hairy balls, so I trim it in tight. I keep the base of my cock trimmed low and the main bush trimmed at about 3/4 of an inch. Plenty to play with if the guy… Read more »
No,i like my bush,just a good washing!Lol
I live in large city in the Midwestern United states. I am half Italian. If I want to take a second part-time job, it will be something that pays, not grooming down there. I used to hate how hairy I was–bush is thick, mod hairy everywhere else including patch in the small of my back. Then I found out many guys love it. Including what has been called my Hole Patch and my Assstache.
Love to view your amazing sounding body
I tend to let it grow but keep my ass smooth hair is a renewable resources so if he likes bush ok if he likes trim ok or Ill get waxed for those who want it smooth..Last BF had a chastity fetish and somooth from meck down going caged and hairless for 5 years was interesting
I shave it all smooth love the feeling and don’t go for guys with a bush
I use to trim my pubes, I don’t bother anymore. I don’t mind other men who trim, but to cut all of it off looks so weird.
I shave my pubes and balls every couple of days since wife loves me smooth so she can suck my balls. I use an oil called Shave Secret that works well.
That dude is a LUCKY WIFE!!! Lololol
All it needs is a comb and conditioner. Although, if your hair is completely straight and longer than one inch, trimming it to one inch will make it easier for your partner to explore down there, so they are not wading through a forest. Otherwise, it should be ALL NATURAL!
Trim, don’t shave. And that’s what I prefer also.
Agreed.
I tried the smooth shaved thing (pits, chest, cock, and balls) years ago. Glad I tried; glad I gave it up. Too smooth; things stuck together when shaved. And stubble totally sucked. I trim my pubic hair when it gets long. Seems to grow that way only along the sides. Now and then, if the sack hair gets long, I’ll trim that up a bit as well. Given a preference, I like guys to look like guys with hair in all the “original equipment” places. Guys who are totally shaved remind me of boys or women, neither are what I’m… Read more »
Others can do what they want, but I like to keep trimmed. I love a thick plush carpet of pubic hair, but the older I get the more gray and wirey mine gets. I never had much hair to begin with and it just looks better to keep it neatly trimmed. Like a neatly trimmed beard.
Don I like to keep it clean and shaved. Much easier to keep clean with no hair. I shave it all every day
I keep it au naturel – the way I like it in other men as my moniker might imply. In fact, I like every part of a man’s midsection to be hairy. But, you know, tastes change (pun intended). I used to like twinks – still with hairy genitals – but am now more into older hairy types.
I shave my balls and trim the rest but not too short.
I love the feeling of a nice untamed hairy bush against my face when I’ve got a cock in my mouth.
A shaved cock feels so good to me working in and out of my mouth while I am sucking it
Natural hairy. Don’t like that prepubescent look, huge turn off. Fine with shaved balls, but hairy is best. It looks even worse on a guy that is super hair and has shaved pubes… it’s laughable. My dick is small and my pubes are crazy so I will trim the very ends of from time to time, but you’d never know because of how long and thick my pubic patch is.
my ex wife got me into the habit of shaving and , post-divorce, have kept it up. personally, i prefer a shaved shaft/balls so i can enjoy giving head without gagging on /spitting out pubes. i won’t say no to someone i am attracted to if they are unshaven but it won’t be a long term situation; especially, if they are unwilling to , at lest, groom. given a choice i am all for the smooth look followed by closely trimmed.
Use a Depilatory instead…it removes hair but leaves no stubble as the hair is dissolved under the uppermost dermis no irritation no rash no burn absolute smoothness just like a baby’s behind!
My partner has a shaving trimming fetish. I grow it out until he takes it off.
I use a product called “Nads”. It really works well on the balls and butt hole. I keep the other parts trimmed. Guys seem to like the look and feel and so do I.
Let me try it out and I’ll give my HONEST OPINION!!! 🙂
Comb it, condition it, leave it alone.
I shave my balls only
I shave my cock and balls and trim my bush. I like sucking dick but hate having to stop to remove a hair. If the guy has shaved balls I always lick and suck on them. They never complain…lol.
Shave chest is all for me. Leave everything else as is, legs, pubic etc. Natural is my preference.
I have light body hair so naturally I am not into any overgrowth and prefer a Manscaped Dude. I do prefer smooth shaved balls and if my partner has minimal to no hair I like to rim because that area is such a sensitive erogenous zone that responds well to touch and taste. Most Guys have told Me that my smooth ass and hairless crack with a very pink rosebud is what attracts them to me. Somehow I always manage to attract total Asspigs that are on Hole Patrol because they are determined to get in there and OWN IT.… Read more »
