Why is he shaving his pubes?

97 replies

My DH suddenly decided to give his pubes a short back and sides. I think he's up to something, especially as he denied it. Is there suddenly a fashion for middle aged men to shave down there?

He denied shaving them or he denied being up to something?

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 20:20

Denied shaving.

Does he go to the gym? My husband gave it a go after noticing that lots of other men were doing it..

TangoSierra · 24/07/2012 20:22

oh I nearly pmsl shrimp!

Ahem, sorry OP, not being particularly helpful are we.

shrimponastick · 24/07/2012 20:22

Maybe he was just bored andfancied trying it out?

DH once shaved his chest wig off for me. I laughed. He didn't do it again.

yesiamanaturalblue · 24/07/2012 20:25

He probably uses webcam

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 20:27

he does go to the gym. is it to look the same as the others then. He's as bald as a coot and it looks awful!

Why would he deny it? Did he think you wouldn't notice? A moment of impulse followed by embarrassment about vanity, maybe?

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 20:28

Was worried about the webcam. he's seriously into porn. If it's that, what do I do?

OP posts:
TangoSierra · 24/07/2012 20:31

If it is bald as a coot and he has denied it, what is his explanation?

Is he really old cos he could have lost a few, but bald overnight?

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 20:32

Tried to tell me that it was becos he's getting older and the hairs are brittle. Must think I'm daft.

EclecticShock · 24/07/2012 20:34

His body, can't he choose to do it? Anything else you're worried about?

Olympia2012 · 24/07/2012 20:35

Ok, that's an odd excuse! What's the deal with the porn?

I immediately thought 'webcam' too to whoever mentioned it already!

Bossybritches22 · 24/07/2012 20:37

"He's seriously into porn"

Shaving is something men do when they're going on camera for porn websites I'm told.

Sorry OP but red flags all over this one.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 24/07/2012 20:38

Ha ha ha! He's got white hairs and wants to hide, maybe? Why does anyone think this is an appealing look?!

I bet he tried to take off a few stray bits then ended up 'correcting' until nothing was left.

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 20:38

So you think he's doing something interactive with the webcam? How do I find out/make him stop?

OP posts:
DontstepontheMomeRaths · 24/07/2012 20:39

Oh I'd much prefer to go down on a man shaved and clean. Is he giving you a hint? Wink

LRDtheFeministDragon · 24/07/2012 20:39

Sorry, cross-posted there but the porn thing might be a red flag - I didn't meant to trivialise, please ignore.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 24/07/2012 20:40

Oh I've just spotted the other comments about porn. Although maybe he just got the idea from there Confused

janelikesjam · 24/07/2012 20:40

More madness.... When I were a lass, sex were quite simple, now its all shaving and webcams ...

kittyfishersknickers · 24/07/2012 20:41

I think it's supposed to make it look bigger (vain hope usually)

EclecticShock · 24/07/2012 20:41

I thought it was pretty common now a days... DH clips his chest hair... He has a lot of it. Hang on. You mean shave off completely? Or trim?
