Some other lady sites seem excited about the recent trend in razor advertising typified by this Gillette video that encourages men to "trim the bush to make the tree look taller." I, however, would like to come out firmly against male pube-shaving.See the video and read my argument after the jump.
I'm a pretty progressive lady, but there are some tenants of manliness as classic and honored as the white undershirt -- men should drink beer, take 30 minutes or less to get ready to go out and for God's sake leave your balls as God made them. I generally like to keep my laws off other people's bodies, but a smooth, hairless sack is not only unnatural, it makes the whole apparatus vaguely resemble a rubber chicken.
And whose advice would you rather take on pubic maintenance -- Gillette's, or that of a woman who might actually want to touch your hairy plums?

I really don't care if a man shaves or not. So guys take it from some of use real women, who say the size does count, when you shave, you don't look any bigger then before, and if you believe that you do, it's time for a wake up call

I have been married for 8 years now,and I have noticed my wife's responses to the various states of "manscaping". I have tried shaved, trimmed down, and natural, and the only time I got complaints was when it was "a jungle" down there. I would like to think most women would agree that a man having pubes is expected, but that doesn't mean that he has to neglect grooming himself. Do women want a caveman, or a man who has evolved enough to take care of himself with a little personal hygiene and grooming? There has got to be a happy medium.
Oh, and by the way, I think most men don't mind the same principle for women's personal grooming. Men don't want a woman to have a complete jungle, but it's not required to be shaved bald. Just take pride in your body, and make it appearant that you take care of yourself. Trimmed down is ok for the everyday encounters with your spouse/significant other, but if you want to shave the undercarriage for a special occasion, we men are appreciative and I think most men would make it worth your while. For the 'scratchy' issue, it is just as uncomfortable for men as it is for women. So please, women, if you are going to shave, make sure you keep up with it; men don't like to have the feeling of sandpaper on their shtick either!

Men, shave your balls if you want to. Your stuff, your choice. As for me, I generally prefer just a trim, but unless it's a jungle down there, I don't really care.

Well, I'm sorry to inform you that times have changed. If a man decides he wants to "manscape" then he isn't considered a homosexual or a metrosexual. It just means that he takes pride in his body and has good hygiene. Personally I would prefer a man that shaves or at least trims because for one it's cleaner, and most men expect the same thing out of women. I believe that if I'm going to shave and keep it nice and clean, then you should too. If I'm nice and smooth then I don't want some guys hairy balls all over me. Its just a major turn off.

Personally, I would like it more if men shaved down there because pubic hair just turns me off and grosses me out. But I'm sure my tates are different than many other girls so I think that the best thing to do is listen to your parner. If they want it shaved, than do it, but if they don't, then just let it grow.

From personal experience I would much rather see a guy that takes care of himself. I am not particularly fond of completely shaven balls, I would much rather see a guy that trims the "jungle" than one who completely shaves it all.
As for women, every man I have ever been with likes you to take care of it. I think it more or less a pride thing in yourself that you care enough about yourself to do the upkeep. Some prefer bald but like previously stated there is the "special occasion" such as an anniversary where if your guy likes it then maybe you should do it even if it is just that one time. Who knows you may discover yourself that you like it to be a certain way as well.

I think the nineties hygiene revolution set the stage for people to do what ever they feel. Personally and the people I know prefer that the men be as shaven as possible and the women leave atkeast a happy trail. I think its way better for women to leave a bit down there cause its something real women have. Just like curves-chics that are 5'3'' 102 pounds have the same measurements as a middle school boy, sorry fellas who like em like that but maybe you should play for the other team...
