Does your DH or Male DP groom his pubic hair?

Just that really. I would quite like it if DH were to take a little more pride Grin in his downstairs area Grin.

He thinks it very unmanly to groom this area and is a bit neanderthal about it.

I have thought about doing the same myself and seeing how he likes it!! Shock

Yup. DP trims his. It's lovely and I am superbly grateful for it.

RaingodsWithZippos · 27/10/2018 14:13

DH trims because he finds it more comfy, but usually with scissors not a razor so it's not a close trim. He uses hair clippers to do mine - again not all off, just short and neat.

EcruTable · 27/10/2018 14:22

No. He’s very hairy all over including a full hairy back and he knows I love it.

MikeUniformMike · 27/10/2018 14:24

I consider myself lucky if he's not got week-old stubble on his face.

Stephisaur · 27/10/2018 15:50

He does not. We have vaguely discussed it before and he told me that he would if I wanted him to, but I’m not bothered so he doesn’t.

Lisaloo15 · 27/10/2018 16:00

Yes my partner does, probably about once a month gives it a real good thin out and tidy up and I love it when he does! We both find that when we are both "well groomed" everything feels better!

Sinead100 · 27/10/2018 16:07

Yes, we both stay "groomed" - he also trims the hair in his under arms and back/ shoulders. Not all off, just a short and neat length.

My ExH and I didn’t trim. However Having tried online dating all the men I dated trimmed/shaved and expressed a preference for women to do the same. These were men over 50. They had all dated women in their 30s and 40s who trimmed. It isn’t an age thing at all. My younger girlfriends advised me to trim when I started dating. It is a cultural issue.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 27/10/2018 16:13

No thank god, not a fan of the Ken look.

mostdays · 27/10/2018 16:14

Every so often yes, a bit of a trim. I'm glad he does.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 27/10/2018 16:16

Why is it a cultural issue? I'm pretty standard white British but have never trimmed beyond shaving my bikini line in the summer holidays. None of my school or uni friends did either. They may have started now but it just wasn't the norm apart from in porn films to shave or wax beyond bikini line in the 1970s or early 1980s. So I do think it's an age thing.

These 50 year olds, they've been dating 30 year olds. That's why.

Beansandcoffee · 27/10/2018 16:18

Ellen I didn’t mean culture as in race. I mean I think it is more popular across all ages and groups now. Teenagers are doing it because of peer pressure. It’s like having a take away coffee every day it has become part of our culture.

BearSoFair · 27/10/2018 16:18

Just a trim. Neither of us ever completely shave!

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 27/10/2018 16:19

Beans then it is an age thing. Something that younger people do. Maybe?

sirfredfredgeorge · 27/10/2018 16:20

Just how old are the people who "not in formative years" I'm male, well over 40 and "groomed" my public hairs from well before I was in any way sexually active with another person.

What is new is the wide availability of equipment to make it easy - as a teenager I often used to burn it off to trim it down.

I'm sure fully shaved is very rare, trimmed short, very common.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 27/10/2018 16:21

And I don't have a take away coffee either!

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 27/10/2018 16:22

SirFred at 53 it wasn't part of my formative years. Friends only 5 years younger say it was becoming the norm.

soulrider · 27/10/2018 16:23

Presumably the shavers are not generally very hairy, otherwise where would you stop? Hairy thighs and stomach but clean shaven pubic area would look most odd.

Abeautifulpeagreenboat · 27/10/2018 16:23

Mine has never done anything to his pubic hair. It absolutely isn't neanderthal for anyone to keep their own pubic hair as they wish. If he wanted to trim it, that would be his choice but it definitely wouldn't be at my request.

I couldn't have sex with a man who was completely shaved. It looks revolting and would be a complete turn off.

SillySallySingsSongs · 27/10/2018 16:23

No thank goodness I like it natural! I'd run a mile from a man who shaved his pubic hair off it really wouldn't be my cup of tea

^ I agree. Personally I think full shaving on men and women is strange.

Ohyesiam · 27/10/2018 16:26

No way! That would be the opposite of masculine to me.

cricketmum84 · 27/10/2018 16:31

Nope!

Just the thought of my DH with all his manly stomach, chest and leg hair but bald man-regions makes me break out in hysterical laughter. He would look ridiculous! 😂

pinkhorse · 27/10/2018 16:34

Yes my dp grooms his a lot. He has a landing strip to match mine. I'd rather he didn't really. I think it's more manly to leave it as it is.

n0ne · 27/10/2018 16:35

Ew, no. Neither of us do.

Delatron · 27/10/2018 16:49

No, thank goodness. I can’t think of anything more off putting. Had no idea this was a thing!

DH super hairy everywhere and I love it. Really find waxed/shaved body hair on men hugely unattractive but each to their own.

Agree, where would you stop? So they shave pubic region but legs and chest still hair? How odd. Or shave/was everywhere? Still very odd. Don’t get it. I’m 42 and never seen a man do this.
