The idea/concept of male pubic waxing, while I know it existed, has started to peak my interest... I have shaved for about 2 years now, and have started to ponder if I should start waxing instead....
With this, I want to start a discussions of your methods and preferences. Pro's and Cons of each, Positive and negative experiences and any other general information or opinion on both or either method.
(Specifically I think that a lot of the fear of waxing for us guys is the unknown.. the process, the possible pain and the like.... I think this discussion can dispell, or confirm some of these "myths".... so do, please share!)
Pubic hair removal (Male) : Shaving vs. Waxing , Pros/Cons, Myths/Fears, Amount of hair taken off, and anything else related to male pubic hair removal!
Invited: All users.

I shave always, but for 2 months ago I have alergic symptomps. I thing I will change to chemical shaving materials.

Lazer works but it is a religious experience. Each burst from the lazer feels like a small electric shock. Until you have it done on your 'junk' it is hard to explain. It really doesn't hurt much on the shaft but when they get to the scrotum….that will definitely wake you up!

I got brazilian waxing few days back and loving it. This was my first time and it didn't hurt as much as I was expecting
12/24/2010
I do a very close trim/shave down to a fine stubble with a beard trimmer
12/27/2010
I shave. I am not interested in having my own persona forest in my crotch. Plus I`d feel bad for the ladies too.
12/28/2010
Brazilian hurt like a bastard. My skin gets irritated no matter what I do, but at least with waxing it lasts longer.

We've been experimenting for a while with what works best and is lowest maintenance. She says stubble scratches too much, so trimming the "upper" pubes and shaving everything else works best for us.

That is what I do. I try to shave every day, but can go two before the stubble gets bad. I use a mach 3 and King of Shaves shave gel and it works great. I am scared to death of a wax. I had my eyebrows done once and that hurt bed enough I never want that done to my personal regions!

He: Whatever you do, don't wax. You'll rip your nuts off!
She: Oh. My. God. I married him, folks.

Long time shaved but really interested in waxing though. A close friend wants to wax me.
04/09/2011
I say shave(and trim)... but I like some hair... sooo yeah... I am sure you could trim with waxing... though it would be harder I would think...
07/03/2011
I finally got my old man to shave! I am so glad he did just makes things better for me. A lot less hair in my throat now.
08/01/2011
I waxed once. Didn't mind the discomfort, but didn't really care for the feeling. So now I do a combination of shaving/trimming and if I need to get "wax like" close, I'll use something like Nair/Veet.
08/01/2011
I shave regularly but have never waxed before so I can't really make that call.. I want to give waxing a shot one of these days.
08/01/2011
I do both though waxing doesn't leave the stupid razor bumps.

shave and trim, the idea of waxing down there just seems painful to me.

Waxing just seems like a more painful alternative.

my husband shaves every now and then but i wish he would more often it just seems nicer and less hair in the mouth possibly
06/27/2012
I use electric clippers. Don't want shave bumps and too cheap to go get waxed. I've tried nair in places too. I trim though and clip bikini line, not full wax/shave.

Started with trimming the thatch nicely, have moved on to shaving just the shaft most of the way down, nearly every day, nice and smooth ! I wonder who you would get to lazer the hair ? Not sure I would want a woman to handle my junk, and zap it , on the other hand, I am not that keen on having a fella doing it either...conundrum.

I don't shave, just trim short. I have shaved before. In truth, I hate body hair and would wax it all off if it wasn't a constant hassle and expense.

I have found if I go totally bare and if she is also, that while in the missionary position our skin since wet with body fluids sticks to each other. That causes painful suction between our bodies. Also leaves me with a rash. So trim is my vote.
WW, how's that for one long terribly written sentence. Sorry .

Has anyone used a depilatory cream? If so, what should you stay away from and what works? As a guy, I've considered hair removal, but, the thought of a razor blade anywhere remotely close to the guys is off putting to say the least . Most probably the only way anyone is getting a razor in that area is if I'm heavily sedated and tied down.
Luckily, my partner seems to like the hairy look and hasn't requested a hair cut .

I read the dc can cause rashes in some cases. Yep, nicks and cut do hurt, but the little bleeding doesn't last long. Just stings like heck for few seconds.

I don't use them, but you can try one for bikini areas. Do a patch test on a small area of skin before going all "balls out" though. Most creams are a bit harsh So be careful.

I would consider a Brazilian. If you find a good person, they will be very quick and efficient. You want someone that is good with "hard" wax. It takes less time.

I've used Nair, which seems to be ok. I hate having to wait the like 10 - 15 minutes though before I can wash it off, I don't usually have enough time when I head in for a shower. Also most of them smell weird. The clay type does seem to work a little better though.

If you want each individual hair ripped out with at least six weeks before regrowth try using an epilator.
Less painful than waxing your groin but the experience takes longer, however once you've done it a quick once over every other week ensures silky smoothness.
