Um, where is this razor supposed to go, exactly? | Source: ShutterStock
I’m not exactly sure when shaving “down there” became super popular, but all I know is that it is. A lot of girls feel pressured to get rid of their pubic hair, and lately, it seems like more guys expect girls to do so. But even though it might feel like this is something only girls do, that’s not true – plenty of guys are taking their razors down south also.
So the question is: do you want your boyfriend/hookup buddy to shave down there? Does it matter to you if he’s got hair in that area? I saw this discussion in the message boards and knew I had to get more opinions. Read what these girls think and then fill us in on what you think about dudes shaving down there.

So I just got sexually involved with a guy and found out that he shaves himself completely bald eagle!! He has very fine body hair, but said he’s been shaving down there for three years. I immediately decided that I like it (a lot!)… but my question is: have any of you found a guy like this? How many guys do you think do this?

My FWB trims it. He doesn’t go bald. I’m fine as long as there’s not a friggin’ forest down there. Men are hairy creatures, anyway.

I think it’s more socially acceptable for guys to shave than it once was, but I’m not sure if I would call it common.
I know my boyfriend agreed to try it when I told him I thought I would like it. It turns out I LOVE it. Now he does it for me quite often!
It’s definitely become more socially acceptable for dudes to shave down there. But no matter how much you like it or don’t like it, you should never pressure a guy into doing it. If he wants to get rid of his pubic hair, let him. If he wants to keep it hairy, that’s his choice. The main thing to remember is that it’s his body, so he gets to decide what’s happening down there.
And you shouldn’t feel like you have to like it either. Just because shaving down there has become more popular doesn’t mean every single person has to be into it. In the end, there’s no reason to stress about body hair. We all have it, whether we like it or not!
How do you feel about guys shaving down there? Do you think they should? Have you ever dated a guy who did? Tell us in the comments!

Ive been shaving my area for over 10 years now. My girl loves it & evry girl i been with liked it as well. Feels cleaner, fresher, looks hot, looks bigger, ads to the excitemnt in the bedrm.
I have shavew cown there for 10 years or more it feels better and most boyfriends like it i also have it tatooed it look great
I have been shaving for over 20 years. I leave just a small strip of hair going horizontal over the twigs and berries. Shaving the scrodum clean. Must use an electric razer to keep from getting the shave rash. Looks good and the girls seem to like it. Not a public hair fan.
Well I’m a guy, and yes I shave down south it feels better shaved and easy to clean down south, I also like shaving my legs as it also feels better bald
Well I think it’s cute with pubes on a man. xD
i have shaved myself bald down there since i was in my 20s never regreted it
i absolutley hate it when you are trying to do .. things and their hair down there gets in the way or in your mouth so my boyfriend either shaves it or keeps it trimmed down
Yes, When I am down on my boyfriend I like to work and not get hair in my mouth. I am gay and this practice is done more than you think.
I think guys should shave it all off
Women should to its much more nicer
My boyfriend hasn’t a single hair in his pants, thanks to my insistence. At first he complained about the itching, but that was two years ago. Now he has become accustomed to being hairless, while I continue to maintain a healthy bush. I think all men should be completely shaved down there. It makes for good oral hygiene, if you get my drift.:)
I think pubic hair on guys is gross and they need to shave it all off.
I very recently shaved down their for the first time. And im kinda imberassed to look at it. How can i make it grow back quicker? And is it a bad thing to shave down their? And should i be embarassed to tell my girlfriend? And what would she think of it?
Apparently ur supposed to masterbate
I hate pubes on guys& girls ,I wish it would stop growing,it’s much more healthy
Actually, pubic hair is there for a reason. Pubic hair protects the sensitive skin around your crotch. If people keep shaving “down there” they are more prone to have bacterial infections. Not to mention ingrown hair.
I completely agree with you, Alexandria. First of all, men are meant to be hairy that’s just the way it is. It may seem a little strange for women to have it, but to be completely honest, it’s a pain in the butt (Well, vagina, but…) to have to constantly shave. If a guy wants to shave that’s fine. Vice-versa for the ladies, but if a guy is so disgusted by my pubic hair he pressures me to shave, hit the road jack!
