Blossombirdy · 29/07/2014 23:37

Started seeing a very nice bloke. Perfect and romantic in every way... except I don't want to have sex with him.

He has hairy balls which are a complete turn off. And on our last date, no 3 btw, he stank so much of BO I had to turn the air con on.

Aibu ti think I should give him the boot or have a gentle word about scrotal etiquette?

Ok, lets tackle (no pun intended) this one at a time.

  1. Seriously ladies.

Hmmmm.

  1. Guys need to trim and so do u!

Bit presumptuous there OP.

  1. Ps im eatly thirties.

You see I would have put serious money on you being much, much younger than that.

layla888 · 30/07/2014 16:56

If ur asking this question hea probably not the one

firesidechat · 30/07/2014 16:56

Great minds think alike Whisk.

Thumbwitch thank you for that link.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so much! Grin

kali110 · 30/07/2014 19:15

I do trim, but i do it for me. If a guy asked me to he'd be straight out the door! I would never ask a guy to either!
Iv been with guys with not naturally not much hair and my now dp is extremely hairy and happens to be extremely good in bed!
You've got no right to tell people what to trim thats a terrible attitude.

I am 70 years old. I have been married 3 times and there have been fellows in between. I have never ever seen a man who would do anything at all with his body hair beyond a twice daily wash! I would giggle if I saw baldyballs on a man! It ain't natural.
Smelliness is a total turn off but a nice hairy chest is very cuddly. As for blowjobs- not me, not ever have I done such a thing .

Koothrapanties · 30/07/2014 19:46

Haha baldyballs. Grin

TheBloodManCometh · 30/07/2014 20:01

Sometimes I wish we could have Web chat here so I could actually see and hear the 70 year old say "baldy balls".

Thank you greylady I was having a shite day up to that Grin

FryOneFatManic · 30/07/2014 20:05

Thumbwitch I have read that review before, it still makes me laugh.

mumminio · 30/07/2014 20:30

He stinks and you're worried about pubes? Ummm...raise the bar?

BolshierAyraStark · 30/07/2014 20:37

Ffs, baldy balls-just no Hmm

I think you should dump the poor bloke & save him the hassle of dating you...

overslept · 30/07/2014 20:42

In my experience men spend enough time scratching that area without fanning the fire by giving them stubble regrowth and potentially a shaving rash to contend with as well. Grin

CarryOnDancing · 30/07/2014 20:57

Piper your anecdotal evidence of 3 sets of balls don't help the argument massively but I did appreciate your Goldilocks summary of them at the end! Grin

bungmean · 30/07/2014 21:35

Have you not noticed that the scrotum has the wrinkliness of a walnut, and the delicateness of a newborn kittens ear?

There is NO WAY anything with a blade sharp enough to cut through pubic hair is going near my nut sack. No way. I've got sweaty palms just thinking of the potential complications.

shudder

RedRoom · 30/07/2014 21:59

I am absolutely wetting myself at the post by GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt and I can't believe no one else has commented on it! Pubic space hopper Grin

deakymom · 30/07/2014 22:04

ive never met an man who shaves down there! even i dont shave my lady garden honestly what is the point im a woman not a child and women have HAIR

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 30/07/2014 23:05

SlicedAndDiced "IMHO you are not a real woman until you have plucked a few ball hairs from your teeth" Love it!

I'm a wookie lover and can't imagine more of a turn off than shaven balls/chest etc. In fact my ex turned up at the door today with obviously trimmed leg hair and I couldn't stop staring at it in a 'car crash' way, ewww! Give me my sexy DP's natural body any day.

I also prefer him after a full 24 hours of building up some man-stink, that freshly washed deodorised thing is ok, but his musky scent is better. He does give the important bits a wash before bed, but he knows I like his pits au naturel and throws me his worn t-shirt before he leaves in the morning for me to sniff.

a lot of young British men now look like Ken dolls dipped in tea and covered in biro... an erection in a vest...smells like a solvent abuser's rag and is built like a flat-pack shithouse with luxury ply bog roll...in short, a complete slut...Yes, it's easy to mock the modern British douchebag, with all his bizarre and contradictory notions of masculinity and sexuality. But let's not forget, it's the people who hate him most who birthed this weird social orphan.

Manatee thanks for that link. It describes the young men I teach perfectly: arrogant, slightly adrift, creatine enhanced, total sluts. I have felt sorry for them for a while but have never been able to say why... that article just about does!

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 31/07/2014 09:11

Love that article Manatee. Especially this bit: Really tough guys have sinew on their bodies, scabs on their face and hate in their hearts; the modern British douchebag just has balloon animal muscles and a waxed chest. They're pampered, meek behemoths who look good on the beach but can't fight for shit – a uniquely modern phenomenon.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 31/07/2014 09:26

Only once. The phrase "last turkey in the shop" sprang to mind.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 31/07/2014 09:31

Oh and what Quint said-that was so true in my case. Always knew when he was on grindr when the razor came out.

dotsandspots · 31/07/2014 09:41

When do the kids go back to school?

Greenwayslide · 31/07/2014 09:55

Haha at least those men are keeping fit, dodgy reasons but the end result is the same.

The guy contradicts himself in that article he holds up Sean Connery as what men should be like, conveniently forgetting that Sean took part in the Mr Universe competition so he was a pumped up waxed and tanned man himself. Not to mention he is a wife beater.

So what these men pay too much attention to their appearance they are generally harmless. Not to mention I have seen so many complaints on the relationship board about older men not taking care of their appearance.

I saw quite a few women there in those photos in that article so there are certainly women who appreciate men like that each to their own I guess.

Writerwannabe83 · 31/07/2014 11:28

Me and DH trim - neither of us would ever shave but we like to look tidy down there. I see it as no different to keeping the hair on my head looking good. I also shave my legs, pluck my eyebrows and shave my armpits. Why is it ok to preen other hairy bits but god forbid we touch our pubic area?!

I've come across two guys who were completely bald and it made me feel quite nauseous...
