I'm amazed how many men are in the ladies room...
^ Lol! There is a considerably larger number of men than women. I think if they didn't post here this section would be dead.
On topic - I prefer to shave. To the post above me, shaving each other can be an adventure but some people think that is weird. Mostly people who've never had an s/o to share the grosser aspects of life with.
I want to try Sugaring but I had a bad waxing experience so I'm a little fearful.
When it comes to just pubic hair, I think that everyone should shave/trim/wax. It's totally a personal preference, but I find a mess of tangly pubic hair to be more akin to a swamp.
I am not smooth all over, but I did get a Brazilian Wax on Saturday afternoon.
It was an interesting experience. The girl was very professional and very nice. She said I was the 5th man that day that got a Brazilian. She went right to work and did a good job. I have been shaving my scrotum for a while, so the hair was very short there. She could not get it so I had to shave it again when I got home. She waxed above my penis and below, then up the back side. I was not made to feel uncomfortable at all.
In regards to the pain, I won't tell you that it did not hurt at all, but it did not last long. It is just as painful as pulling off a lot of band-aids. I should have taken a painkiller about an hour before.
I did have to do some trimming on my legs to make the hair gradually slope to my crotch. I did not like the look of bushy legs up to a line where the hair stops. The hair at the top of my legs is rather random in pattern so I trimmed it back to basically a line which looks a lot better. For all this trimming, I used the Philips BodyGroom. It has several different combs to accomodate the length you desire.
I will have to wait and see what it looks like in a month to decide if I want to maintain it by waxing. It is about $55, plus tip, for the Brazilian. Another $30 for the buttocks. For some reason, the women don't have to pay nearly as much. I think the female Brazilian is $35.
Now, if the weather would just warm up!!!
