Should men shave their pubes?

I made this a non Poll because people just tend to vote on polls and not comment. I want to hear opinions.

Trim, yes - but shaved completely is gross

Papi at R1 reminds me of Raúl Castillo from [italic]Looking[/italic]

Au naturel

It’s okay to clip and not shave, and maybe use thinning shears.

No.

No, especially not fat men who have fat, protruding groin base; it's a turn-off as it looks like fat vulva. Fucking cover it with hair!

Enogh of this weird fashion for pubic alopecia. Bring back the bush.

It's between a man and his partner(s). Nothing to do with you.

Never shaved. NEVER.

It looks awful and that's bad enough. But going down on someone shaved is a miserable experience, unless he finished shaving only five minutes earlier. The stubble is terribly uncomfortable. And those bastards always have stubble. Always.

Bad look. Functions poorly. Don't do it. It's a total deal breaker for me. Won't go there. A man's got to have his principles.

Sometimes.

Hair creates a more slender appearance? How about cutting stripes in it?

trim and shave your balls for sucking.

" But going down on someone shaved is a miserable experience,

So is going down on someone whose crotch looks like the Amazon rain forest and smells like the bottom of a garbage can on a hot summer day.

I bet Tim Tebow shaves his bush, OP.

No, I told my partner to never shave or trim I like his furry chest, thick trail and full bush.

[quote]Hair creates a more slender appearance? How about cutting stripes in it?

Not exactly make it slenderer, but to cover that fat pubic mound up! Can't svelte up 300 lbs by a patch of hair though.

And, R14, you believe that someone shaved and unwashed won't stink?

The false equivalency you propose is meaningless to this discussion.

Manscaping is fine, to a degree. But shaving smooth of the male pubis is of the Devil. This practice must be cast out.

The Landing Strip design is too much like a Hitler mustache.

No.

A topic we don't discuss often!

More photographic exhibits submitted as evidence are needed.

It's dinner time. Won't someone please shit in my mouth?

Who is the guy at OP?

Yes.

I make my husband do it.

No. I hate shaved pubes! The guy in OP's post looks perfect to me.

Just for comparison....

R29, right is way hotter than the left.

Hair is animal, therefore sexy, at least to me. I like animls.

I don't like them "that way."

The male member needs a nice fur coat on those cold winter nights.

Wow, I ffucked that up--I mean, I like animals, but I don't like animals in a bad way.

Dark-haired guys have the hottest pubes.

Dark-haired guys have the hottest pubes.

Do dark haired or light haired guys have the hottest pubes? Inquiring minds want, no, need, to know.

Fucking love a hot bush on a man.

Blond bush is hot too!

Pubic mounds should be trimmed but never shaved to look pre-pubescent. However, hairy dick shafts, balls, and taints should be shaved smooth. I hate coughing up pubes when Im trying to deep throat a guy or suck his balls. And don’t get me started about when it looks like a rabid hedge hog has died on a guy’s lap and I might need a weed whacker and a compass to find his testicles. Gross!

Full bush or gtfo

NO!!

Yeah most gays like full bush. But some people naturally have just a cute light dusting of pubes, that they don't really have to maintain. While others have an unruly jungle. I happen to have a very unruly jungle. If I shave it will be back to jungle in just a couple weeks. It sheds and falls out like a mutherfucker, and I hate finding it places were it shouldn't be, like all over my house. So I shave it down.

It is imperative that pubes are trimmed but never shaved. The rest is up to your hairiness and sexual activities. Some may want to keep balls shaved, like I do. Others may keep their holes shaved too, like I do.

This is not the middle ages. All ladies and gentlemen must be groomed down there. Pubic hair must not run wild and unkempt.

It's those hip to hip forestations I can't abide.

R39, blond bushes tend to blend into the background -- like camouflage.

Gotta get my 🐞 🐞 🐞 🐞 stirring my menz nest hair. Hehe.

Yes, shave if you get crabs.

R40 and R44 = bossy bottoms, the sort of guy you block on Grindr after about three exchanges.

[quote]This is not the middle ages. All ladies and gentlemen must be groomed down there. Pubic hair must not run wild and unkempt.

For the love of God, no. I appreciate preferences and each person does their own thing, but please stop it with the idea that everyone must conform or else.

Yes, absolutely. Otherwise they look like monkeys....

It's all cyclical.

If you look at porn sites, bush is coming back. Covid accelerated the trend for sure.

I am sure 20something guys roll their eyes at "old guys" in their 30s who shave their pubes off or trim them very close.

Yeah you know Gen Z just scoffs at pubic hair maintenance, they hardly shower!

[Quote] So I shave it down.

R43 so you TRIM it down, silly.

R52 You're generationally off. The metrosexuality of the 90s and 00s was brought on by Gen X. Wild beards and hair came back into fashion with the 2010s hipster trend. Gen Z copycats everything 90s so except more shaved everything again.

r54 = Another bossy bottom!

Few things hotter than a natural bush on a hot guy. Bonus points for a hairy hole too.

Who am I to tell people what to do with their pubic hair?

What about my lady balls?

I wonder what the evolutionary reason is that thicker hair ended-up in armpits, chests, faces and crotches? And heads, of course.

The more bush the better. Sometimes a guy at the gym joins me in the open showers, and I see a larger, thicker bush than I expected. A total turn-on. I like to guess how much an attractive man has. If I'm insanely curious, I'll drop manscaping into the conversation. Usually a man with a big bush "confesses" having one, revealing the information I am seeking. If I'm horny as hell, I'll suggest we go elsewhere....

Playgirl's Antonio Contrelle drives me wild. Playgirl was a gathering spot for bush-y men, as well as the gay magazines like Blueboy and Torso. You wonder why I miss the 70s and 80s?

Shaved is ok, hairful is ok. Professional achitect like Myself is trained for danger of pube in teeth.

There were lots of guys with big bushes in my fraternity in the 80s. Luckily we had open showers, and six of us could be there at the same time. Two of these guys even used blow-dryers to make their bushes look thicker, I kid you not. One I would blow 'til my knees got bruised. I think he would have let me, if I had the courage to ask. He now has a gay son. The other was an arrogant jerk. I had no interest in him, even though he had a bush I liked to see.

[Quote] I wonder what the evolutionary reason is that thicker hair ended-up in armpits, chests, faces and crotches? And heads, of course.

To cool off those areas. Prevent bare skin from sticking.

No, it looks weird.

Shaved pubes is a deal breaker.

Who is the idiot that started this trend? Yeah please! Give me some itchy balls! Yes, I'd love to have short little pubes growing back in and sticking into opposing tender skin! Fuck that shit. Natural works best. Thank goodness the prepubescent boy-look is beginning to trend down. This has been one of the most idiotic fads ever devised.

I completely agree, R2.

This thread should have closed with r2.

Shaving goes too far. Some guys could use a discreet trim, though.

I have more pubes like OP's example, spreading farther, and also longer. Very moundy. I trim a little, just the bit that, left unchecked, wants to "catch" in my foreskin.

Of curiosity I shaved my balls a couple of times. It's an interesting feeling and a different sensation in sex (and ball sucking) but I prefer them as they are.

“Two of these guys even used blow-dryers to make their bushes look thicker, I kid you not.”

That’s a great visual.

Shaved pubes and even pubes cut as short as quarter inch are a dealbreaker for me.

I have (more times than I care to count) gotten into a guys pants and saw little to no pubes and said “never mind“ and got up and walked out.

The only thing worse than shaved pubes is poor hygiene.

The main reason men shave their pubes is because they think it makes their cocks look bigger.

NEVER have anything

Shaved=pedo

Clippered.

I can't stand going down there and getting a mouth full of hair or having to pick stray hairs out of my mouth.

trimmed is like a brillo pad, no thanks

I am a hairy beast - I get hairs all the way up my cock shaft so I had to have most of that lasered off. The rest I need to trim once a month. It takes some effort to look this cheap.

The only areas that should be shaved are back, shoulders and the upper arms above the elbows.

Trim, yes. Shave, no.

I'm a pubic hair fanatic and they should NEVER be shaved. I want a man to look like a man, not a 10 year old boy. And no matter the dick size, if there's no bush. then there's Nothing there, At All.

R82 how old are you? Have you seen many 55 year old men’s untrimmed bushes? They look less like your masculine fantasy and more like filthy angora goats. As one of them, I know. Thats why I trim. It is not a pretty sight.

Pubic hair makes a man, a man. Shaved pubic hair makes a man a girlish boy.

"Pubic hair makes a man, a man."

This may come as a complete shock to a gold star queen, but women have pubic hair also. Does that make her a man as well? By your idiotic reasoning it certainly does.

Whether you shave or trim, a gentleman should always be well groomed and presentable.

A gentleman should always be well groomed when presenting.

I met a guy at the gym who was in the military and had a flattop crewcut. No hair on his chest, but solidly built. Nice nipples, too. He took off his clothes to take a shower, and his bush was bigger than OP’s. It was disconcerting to see a carefully managed flattop and the jungle below. It was hot as hell. And a big dick too. He was only there for a week. Didn’t muster the courage to tell him I’d get down on my knees. Regret it totally.

I am not a fan of a big bush, and I'm not a fan of a completely shaved crotch either.

Shave the balls, the shaft (straggly hairs on a shaft are just gross looking, and horrible when sucking dick) and around the base of the dick. Trim the pubes to about 5mm. Perfect.

Fuck no! OP’s bush is hot. Save the razor for your scruffy beard.

Sam J. Jones was the lead character in the 1980 production of the movie "Flash Gordon" He also starred in the TV series "The Highwayman" in the late 80s.

The answer is NO!, OP. No grooming at all!

Fuck r90. I hate absolutes. Trim ffs. Shaving all pubes is too extreme but so is dead animal pubes. Sam Jones is blond and mostly smooth. When you start posting links to guys who have more body hair the look is much different—and needs to be trimmed back

Trim. Please! No one likes all that hair in your mouth!

But I like all that hair in my mouth!

Half you prissy bitches would have choked to death in the 70s. Nobody trimmed then. At all . I loved it. So what if you had to spit a few hairs out ?

Never! I love the pubes peaking out from the top of a Speedo!

Gross!

I loved living in a dorm. I saw everyone living on our floor naked at one point or another in the group showers, many of them multiple, multiple times. More than half of them had big bushes. We were so at ease with each other I don't think anyone was uncomfortable while their bushes were out there for all to see. One guy was so comfortable, he walked to the showers with his towel wrapped around his waist, and the towel was hanging from his shoulder on his way back to his room. Girls were allowed to visit our rooms, and these unscheduled full-frontal displays in the hallway made us cringe. I don't think he would have cared if a girl saw him naked. It seemed he was proud of the reddish-brown hair which was thick on his chest, his crotch, his forearms and his legs. He was a big, muscular guy. He worked on a barge going up and down the Mississippi River for the previous two years. None of us wanted to be the one who told him it has to stop. Our RA wasn't one to defend the rules, so he was naked in the hallway all school year. That reddish-brown bush is still fresh in my mind after 35 years.

It’s okay to clip and not shave, and maybe use *thinning shears.*

*M A R Y*!!!! MARY MARY MARY!

A super hairy bush = super hairy hole. A red flag, if you will.

Anyone pluck 'em? I like my guys pre-pubed.

Definitely yes. Shaved balls, and either trimmed, or shaved pubes. Trimmed chest, also.

Go suck on this R92.

And that goes for all of you who get off on cocks looking like they belong in the poultry section of your grocers freezer.

A full bush is preferred.

I'm kinky and open to anything. It's of no matter to me how people groom. It would never be a criteria about who to fuck or not.

I say do whatever makes you most comfortable. I don't really care either way, as long as decent hygiene is observed.

Those of you who want trimming or shaving, is this too much bush for you? Just trying to put some perspective in this thread.

Personally, he'd be in my bed by the time I post this.

He [italic] is [/italic] cute

That man in OP's photo post should. That's entire Central Park down there.

R61. Thanks for posting. Antonio Contrelle was Playgirl’s Man of the Month / July 1981. Then he was Playgirl’s Man of the Year / January 1982. Sexy man from the top his head to the tip of his foreskin.

R107 his bush is not offensive. I would leave his upper pubic area unclipped but Id definitely trim/shave the hair covering the bottom of his shaft and shave his balls and taint

R83, You're a fuckin pussy. You don't like a grown mans bush, then shave your weenie and go back to being a little boy. Sorry you hate your pubes, little queen.

Shaving pubes should be illegal.

r7, the most epic "boundaries have been stated" of all time. LOL.

Shaving someone's balls is very sensual for both the shaver and shavee.

What do Connor and Myles have to say about this?

Shave or manscape.

I have a friend who shaved his pubes. He had sex and caught MRSA through the tiny abrasions his razor created. He will never modify his bush again.

[quote] Shave or manscape.

[quote] He had sex and caught MRSA through the tiny abrasions his razor created.

Shave. Have people forgotten how lovely and sensual a proper shave can be? It's like a ritual. And done properly there should be no "abrasions". People get MRSA sharing towels or razors or other personal items as well. Just saying.

I don’t care if they do like I’ll still fuck a guy who shaves but I prefer hair.

I hate it. Unless it is natural or freshly waxed, I will just not eat an ass with stubble. Like just wash the ass and hair and let me dive in. Hair is sexy.

OMG -R104 is Harry Potter!

[quote]Have people forgotten how lovely and sensual a proper shave can be?

No, we never knew. There is nothing lovely about shaving off your pubic hair.

[quote] This may come as a complete shock to a gold star queen, but women have pubic hair also. Does that make her a man as well? By your idiotic reasoning it certainly does.

He clearly meant that pubic hair makes a man an *ADULT* as opposed to a prepubescent boy. No need to bring women into this. But speaking as a non-gold star gay, women with public hair are also preferable to the shaved/landing-strip look.

Maybe a minor trim, sure.

But the plucked chicken look is an instant boner kill for me.

What do the pube lovers think of this handsome guy’s bush pouring over the waistband of his underwear?

Dee-fucking-lightful, r126.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Keep the bush; toss the face.

I like a trim middle-aged central European with an enormous bent cock, entirely shaved crotch and ass, and maybe some tacky fetish gear, and good drugs.

R83, you've really triggered Miss R112.

R126, I would rip his underwear off and dive in. That makes me horny as hell. Neither of us would sleep for the next 48 hours, gladly.

Don't get me started on those nipples. Actually, get me started on those nipples.

R126 uses the name "man_the_samm" on his instagram account. He claims to be Egyptian and Russian. He also has an onlyfans page.

It's amazing what you can find on the internet when you are driven by hormones.

If you guys like untrimmed bushes, maybe you should start fapping to Asian porn. These guys often have wild bushes.

You’ve just described almost everything I hate about gay culture, or at least contemporary gay porn, R129.

Shaved? No. Trimmed? For sure. Shaved balls? Absolutely. Shaved ass? Definitely. This is just my opinion.

R134 well duh, maybe I did so on purpose?

[quote]Shaving pubes should be illegal.

R113. Is trimming okay?

R137 Trimming should just get you a warning.

I shaved mine today. Everything off. I'm now hairless all over. It feels so smooth and nice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To you it does. Operative word; YOU

How does it feel to blend in with the chicken leg section of your groceries freezer?

R135 clearly you don't eat ass. I do and stubble is not pleasant. Just wash it and it's sexy, no problem, I love that hair.
