I was asked the other day in work a question , now this person is a
woman and is a very good friend of mine and we can almost talk
about anything when we are together , and this time out of the blue she
asked me
   


       " Skarpi do you shave your " balls " or what ever you call
         in English ?? " I say down below - and I could not say a word for few min .

         hmmmm I told her .............. " ?????

So is it common that men shave them self down below ?????
like woman do ?


So just wandering .........   around the world


This is a question , like do men wear something under the scottish uniform ?


?? o(-/-)o

No. But occasionally I get the urge to trim some of the longer hairs back a bit with a small pair of scissors. Why? Who knows. I mean, it doesn't really matter, right? Maybe I do it for the same reason that a bird plucks at his feathers or someone runs their fingers through their hair. Personal grooming instinct? Nervousness? A desire to superimpose existentialist doctrine on traditionalist mores? ;-)

I don't think that shaving that area would be wise, as it would probably itch like hell when it started to grow back in.

I wonder what Brad Pitt has to say about this?

I hope it's relatively common. I had to do it when I got my vasectomy. But only once.

Crabs. I had crabs once--twice actually, but the second time was just a continuation of the first time--and I believed the instructions (to shave the pubic area). It was itchier than the damned crabs when hair grew back in. Piss on that. Never again. Let the bloody stuff fall out like the rest of my hair.

It is itchy. My first angioplasty was with a complete shave, knees to neck.

They have improved things lately.

As a general rule, men do not shave their balls, except for medical purposes as described above.

At least all the ones I have met. I've never heard of it as an aesthetic practice. But these days, with chain link septums and chrome-hitched labia, anything is possible.

I don't shave there for two reasons: I want to hide them when I'm nekid so the the world doesn't laugh at what the missus has been laughing at for years; and nothing (repeat, nothing) sharp gets anywhere near that delicate area. One last thing, it's the last place I still have most of my own hair.

Shaving one's balls would be a rather tricky operation, the scrotum on the other hand would be much easier, for those who are so inclined.

    Peace, down here when we get crabs we get rid of them thusly: Light one side of your pubic hair on fire and when the little beasties flea to the other side beat them to death with a club.

Who'd want to?

I men really, WTF is the world coming to?

I don't even shave much of my face, let alone any more tender and more private area.

Of course, having spent my young adulthood in the "hippie" subculture, I've never had much interest in any kind of hair removal, for myself or for others of either gender. I'm perfectly OK with women not shaving their legs or armpits, although I do accept that most women, at least in the US, find it necessary to conform to societal norms by removing their hair from those areas.

This may mark me as an old fuddy-duddy, but I've never encountered a "bald" public area ~ on anyone. I don't understand how any red-blooded male would find anything attractive about a grown woman's hairless crotch. Sort of smacks of pedophilia, if you ask me. Also, there's the issue of STUBBLE, which could become very uncomfortable!

The best way to deal with crabs is::
Rub sand on the whole area, then pour alcohol around. The little bastards will get drunk and stone each other to death.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Had 'em shaved for a vasectomy. When I did advance paperwork, a few days before, I was alerted to expect it, and assured that it would be done by a male; I still don't know why that was supposed to make me feel better about it.

When I was a teenager, I worked as a construction worker one summer.
I heard every poor dirty joke ever told. Some did not make much sense, but it did not matter, as added to the work atmosphere.

One male hairy rhyme that I remember a worker recite was:

"The hair grew so thick
between my a&@x*le and $#@xk,
that my balls wouldn't jingle
anymore".

I don't imagine a bunch of granola eating old folkies is the best group to whom to pose your question. Most of us don't even shave our faces.

Shaving of privates is probably far more common among the younger set with their tattoos, piercings and other aberations of appearance. They're also probably more influenced by the "aesthetics" of modern-day pornography where almost everyone, male and female, shaves for the benefit of the camera.
