 Shaved or at least trimmed, if shaving is too metrosexual or too high maintenance for you. Pubic hair is not gross per se, but, it's undeniable, hair traps droplets of sweat, and even people with good,regular hygiene can send off a pungent whiff after a whole day at work or out of home in general. As anybody who ever rode a crowded subway train at 6 p.m. on a summer day can testify :)
I am not surprised that the anon female is not bothered by her lover's scent, even if at times it's a bit musty, and finds it a turn on- because that's how biochemistry works, scent is a big part of physical attraction between two people. But that's a very individual thing. A certain skin with a certain scent can be heaven for my nostrils - but hell for tons of other people. Reason for which, it would be better to use body odour as a complement to seduction- strictly in the intimacy of one own's bedroom. If you have to deal with people in general, in public places- trimmed is nicer ( and kinder ).

I don't like accumulated sweat; which causes itchy musty crotch. I'm a very active person. I like to cycle, and I walk a lot. I shave during the summer months; because I find it cooler, less irritating, and it minimizes the "crotchy" smell. I've sat next to men and women who look well-groomed; but I could still smell the odor coming from their crotch area. It's not sexy on everybody. Some people sweat a lot down there, and they stink!
You could use a razor for sensitive-skin around the sack; or a lady's razor, if you like clean testicles. There are body-shavers specifically designed for man-scaping.
If you find clean-shaven genitals weird, fine! It doesn't bother me. Good personal-hygiene is necessary in any case. I won't knock it; and to be honest, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about it. It's personal, and shared with only your most intimate partner.
I'm clean, and I like it that way. I don't always clean-shave my pubic area; sometimes I use clippers to trim it back. My boyfriend shaves his head, and likes everything else bare. He has beautiful tattoos, he's very muscular; and it is sexy as hell!
Being gay, sometimes men like oral-sex; which includes the testicles. You don't get a mouth-full of loose hairs. Pardon the graphic explanation; but we're adults here. Think clinically. A loose pubic-hair in my mouth makes me gag!
Use a gel shave cream for sensitive-skin, or an aloe shave cream; which cuts down on the itch and burn. It also eliminates the razor-drag during shaving.
Always use a fresh new razor down there. It will avoid razor-bumps, in-grown hairs, and cuts. Just like after shaving your face; use a moisturizing after-shave balm around the shaved area. Something soothing with no alcohol.
Some guys just like clean smooth testicles; but don't don't touch their pubic area. If you have a thatch down there; just trim it a little with scissors; like thinning tangled bushes or an over-grown hedge.
If you have a rain-forest (pooling sweat) or a thicket (hairs so long you could braid it) down there; just use some barber shears to trim it back a little for neatness. It will also dry quicker, when air is able to circulate in the area.
The totally bald and shaven look isn't for everyone; but to each, his or her own.
It makes you no less of a man if you chose to shave down there. It's fine "going natural," and just as fine choosing to be "bare."
All women don't shave their legs or arm-pits. So what does that make them?
By the way, you can be gay; and that makes you no less of a man.
Body-shaving is a form of personal-hygiene; and it has nothing to do with your masculinity. Gay and straight-men shave their genitals. It's just a matter of choice.

 It's really down to what you like, but seeing that that it's something a sex partner might see and people can be judgemental you can trim it a little. Think of it as a beard on your face, you trim it on occasion just to make it look more presentable, as if you placed a bit of effort into it, but some people don't like beards.Shaving it all makes it easy because it transitions from smooth, to stubbly, to in-between, to bushy again. This way you can test out which you like best. My best bet is the in-between because you get a little bit of both, not to much hair but not smooth. Again, it's whatever you're willing to back up once someone points at it an says "Why do you keep it like that?"As for the testicles, a face razor makes it easy. Just apply gentle strokes until you're done. All the best.

![[?]BitterSweetFinale;[?] agony aunt](/avatars/7bb1e9ea-6c2f-43b8-a4f7-0635b7eff08c.png) Do what makes YOU feel comfortable, as long as you take care of yourself and are hygienic then that speaks volumes as is. Besides, I'm sure if you're both attracted it would be of little importance. :)

 I agree fully with YouWish, totally clean shaven is not for me. Full bush, not horrible but it does "get in the way" with oral so neat & trimmed and CLEAN if my preferred option but... I'd "settle" for just plain CLEAN.
I don't have an issue with body hair. I don't mind a hairy chest, legs, arms, crotch or face.
What IS really unpleasant is stubbles though... No matter where on the body, if it going to RUB up against MY body that is not comfortable at all.

- Completely shaved looks prepubescent. Those who prefer someone to be completely shaved generally seem to think body hair is gross, which isn't logical, if their hygiene is good.
- Completely natural is fine, but can get in the way of oral.
- Trimmed is usually preferred. Not necessarily really short, but just neatly trimmed.

 I like guys to have hair down there, but it can be trimmed and not growing wild in a large bush. When men shave it just reminds me of porn movies and when it grow back out it is uncomfortable, especially if they shave the sack and then during sex, unless they shaved smooth recently, it feels like someone bumping a bag covered with needles up against me. Uncomfortable! So I prefer it not shaved. But it's really not that big of a deal. I would just prefer him not to.

 One way is to hold an ice pack on your testiclea for a period of time so that they can shrink and stiffen then use these trimmers on them carefully so you don't chop off your skin:

And this one for more fine areas:

You may have to use scissors at the end for uncut hair.
Nair bloodies up the skin and leaves blood patches so avoid it.

 All I *REALLY* care about is whether the guy is clean and hygienic. I'd rather he NOT shave, to be honest, because shaving and waxing brings up its own share of discomfort and problems and doesn't change my desire or ability to be sexual orally or any other way. Not to be REALLY gross, but usually, when I pick hair out of my teeth, it's from his chest or other areas besides his pubic area, so if you're trying to be hair free for a woman's benefit, your chest, stomach, backside, where does it end???
However, it HAS to be clean. Gross, sweaty and smelly pubic areas are absolutely untenable to me. I have a very sensitive nose, and I can SMELL issues a mile away. Make sure your bathing is absolute top-notch, and I wouldn't care if you shaved even a single hair from your testicular area. My hands LIKE to run through the hair, to be honest!
(Sorry if that's too much information!)

For me, shaved or trimmed. Especially if my mouth is going anywhere near there. Very very unpleasant to get a mouthful of hair. I asked my husband about the testicular thing, and he says pull the skin taut and go gently.

Personally, for me it's very masculine and a big turn on. I love the scent. I love when his hair gets wet with his fluids and/or mine! Hope that does not sound perverted! Ok, maybe just a little! ;)If he ever shaved it, I would start to wonder and worry!!! Men should be men. That's my opinion.
