Why is he shaving his pubes?

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?

Can't believe that nobody has suggested that he is trying to impress an OW

kittyfishersknickers · 24/07/2012 21:22

Well it could be that. But I really don't think shaved off pubes is what women want at all... Would a man think that would impress a woman? Seems more of a porny thing. The webcam/porn thing is something OP already knows about and so it makes sense to tackle that. The guarding the phone could well be because it's full of porn, ditto laptop

Thanks for all the comments. Now have a kicking off point for a conversation about other guys at the gym. Will see where that leads..... usually know if he's lying, just can't get at the truth when I need to. See if it's a new trend or a one-off. If it's the webcam thing then that's a whole other can of worms.

Think you're right about not impressing women. Bloody uncomfortable for a start! Like shagging a scrubbing brush.

Lets face it, he wants a bj so priming himself up

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:47

Out of interest

Surely when giving a man oral sex you are some distance away from his pubes?

This has confused me slightly.

Also, in modern gyms men don't see each other with their pants off, do they? It's not communal showers like at school, surely. Or is it?

It depends, if you want to suck his balls, lick his taint area etc you are liable to hairs in the mouth Wink

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:50

Oh I see
Yes that is true
Bollock hairs have never bothered me TBH Grin

What is "taint area"?

RandomMess · 24/07/2012 21:50

The well endowed ones tend to strut around starkers through choice, apparantly...

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:51

DO they now.

Interesting. Going to ask DH. Who is sitting there unsuspecting consuming cheese on toast and replete with hairy bollocks.

Perineum Smile

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:54

Arse?

yesiamanaturalblue · 24/07/2012 21:55

I think you should be blunt with him. Tell him you wasn't born yesterday and that you know men shave when they use webcams, then see his reaction

sweetkitty · 24/07/2012 21:56

I've just asked DP as he trims and tidies up!

He said its just cleaner and it helps with chaflfing when he's running.

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:57

DH has filled me in
He's still going On and On about it. In boring detail, including the layout of the changing faciitites at various gyms and the type of person who went there
suffice to say the results are not conclusive
and he says he never looked at pubic areas
nor perineums
He's english. He looked the other way whenever men started strutting around without their clothes on Grin

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 24/07/2012 21:57

Not keen in rimming myself but the bit just behind the bollocks is very sensitive for them.

Gosh I sound shocking on here Blush I'm a nice girl honestly. The wine is making me too candid tonight Grin

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 24/07/2012 21:58

On not in!

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 21:58

I should say English and heterosexual. Obv.

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 22:01

Thanks, yesiamanaturalblue, that's a good suggestion. Will be interesting to see his reaction.....

SardineQueen · 24/07/2012 22:03

Yes reactions will tell you all you need to know.

Trust them. Good luck :)

jynier · 24/07/2012 22:05

An ex of mine used to shave said area; said he did it for me to look younger. Found out (unknown to him) that he had been a member of a shady naturist club for 25 years! Went there myself to investigate and found that it was full of swingers, subs/doms and photographers etc ...

Can't think of any reason (apart from pubic lice) why anyone would suddenly shave their bits unless it's sexual. Red flag!

crypes · 24/07/2012 22:11

Sorry, im not in

ImperialBlether · 24/07/2012 22:14

OP, can you think back to when he did it? Did he come home with them done or did he do it in the middle of a long stay at home?

I wouldn't trust him an inch, frankly. I think it's done to convince someone your penis is bigger than it really is.

crypes · 24/07/2012 22:15

penis envy maybe?

SoreenSiren · 24/07/2012 22:16

He did it the night before he went away on business.
