Manscaping

I go the other way. But then I find body hair on either a man or a woman to be a big turn on.
 
I know I'm limiting the audience by posting this here, but I wonder what other bi or gay guys think of manscaping.

I am naturally a bear with ample body hair...everywhere.

I started shaving the hair on and around my genitalia shortly after separating from my first wife of ten years. She was too uptight, and "vanilla" about sex and sexuality and never would have accepted, yet alone appreciated or understood, my desire to have a clean shaven cock and balls. She no doubt would have freaked out and accused me of being...gasp...GAY. She would have been right since I am, or at the very least bi and, as I've come to accept and identify, more appropriately "homoflexible". The best thing that ever happened to me was our divorce.

When I met my current wife of twenty years, online but not in a sex or dating related site or forum, neither of us kept any secrets from the other. I told her about the extensive same sex relationship of my past, my predilection for receptive anal sex and toy play, and the fact that I had clean shaven cock and balls. Instead of being repulsed (as my ex would have been) she was even more turned on and interested.

In any event, in the ensuing years, I have experimented with many different "styles" of manscaping till I arrived at my current genital coiffure.

I used to shave just my cock and balls, while leaving virtually all of the rest of my body hair "natural". I now trim ALL of my body hair, chest, back (with my wife's help), legs and arms, using an electric clipper and a #2 guide comb or clipper guard, which leaves about 1/4" of my auburn (with a little grey) body hair all over. My, penis, scrotum, insides of thighs, and pubic mound are shaved clean and I use a cream depilatory in and around my ass crack. I leave a small patch of short auburn hair (heck...it's RED) just above my cock.

My wife likes it, I like the way I look (heck, I admit a bit of narcissism, I'd "do" me) and I especially like the tactile sensation of sexy underwear against my shaved genitals. The few gay FWB's and lovers that I've had, beyond the gay lover of my youth, seem to think it's perfect.

Nice me to
 
Been a cock 'n' balls shaver nearly 20 years, doing the whose yard the last several years. Hairless chest but my legs are furry. All my chest hair went north. 70+
 
I'm 62 and I like to keep myself as hair free as possible, shaving and waxing is a must for me.
 
I shave cock and balls and keep the rest neat. Wife prefers a masculine look while also keeping hair out of her mouth. :) And I love how sensitive it is down there when freshly shaved.

The only problem is you can't be lazy and skip shaving for a while...well you can but oh the itching :D

I forgot to mention this in the original post. My back is mostly shaved. One of the reasons I started trimming/shaving my back is because the jets on our spa actually tie the hairs in knots if left "au naturale". Literally ties them together in knots. This is not only annoying and a bit painful, but also unsightly.

Also, if my hair body hair is left in its natural state it floats a few inches out from body, all around,when in a pool or spa. It really looks like there's a Yeti or a bear in the water and, I think, kind of unsightly (my dad was worse). Keeping it trimmed, fastidiously, with just enough length for some color, works for.
 
If only someone had told me that advantages of shaving your armpits when I was a teenager, I might not have been terrified to perspire around people. 30 years later I shave my armpits about once a month.
 
Shaved balls and trimmed around my cock, but I recently had to have surgery and was completely shaved for the procedure. I really liked how it felt afterwards, so smooth and nice.

This has been my concern about shaving. Marge has long warned me about the itching when she tried it once.
 
Totally shaved cock & balls.

I also shave my chest and legs while I trim my armpits.

I love the feeling being smooth and it makes the sight of my cock going in an out of my wife much better to look at with no hair in the way.

I used to shave my legs 20-odd years ago when cycling/triathlons and got into my current shaving regime about 12 months ago. Don't see myself going back to having hair.

I've got quite strong legs so having me legs shaved really brings out the shape of my calf muscles when I wear high heels (don't ask!) It's fair to say women get jealous...

Mid 40's
 
Definitely

I shave the balls and trim/shape above. I also keep everything else trimmed short. My wife is finally getting on board and cleaning up her pussy as well. Doesn't matter if I'm sucking cock or eating pussy, the smoother the better.
 
I would say the I’m a bear. With fur every were. It would take a full time groomer to keep my fur in check. But also like furry or shaved.
 
Marge seems to prefer it au naturel, but then again she complained about a hair that got stuck in her throat.
 
Hands down, I love the smooth feel. I shaved my cock & balls the last few years of my marriage. After the divorce, I shaved everything, including my oak, ball, ass crack (backed off of that due to itching), chest, stomach, arm pits & trimes my upper inner thighs. These days I shave cock, balls, taint & the area above my cock is shave daily to weekly depending upon my mood. I keep my pits trimmed.

Similar here. Wife's got no interest. But it feels better. Even in summer, it's just much more comfortable. feels grubby having rafts of fur in intimate places
 
I love body hair. I am not completely smooth, but don't have much to brag about. The very first time I had an inclining that I had an attraction to men was when I was only about 4 years old. A cousin about 8 years older came to stay with us. His paternal grandparents and his paternal uncle came to drop him off and stay for a day or so. Anyway, one morning the uncle got up early. He was wearing his white underware, but that was all. His whole body was covered by a thick amount of body hair all over -- his arms, legs, chest, belly, etc. I wanted so bad to have him pick me up and just let me be smothered in his warm hairy body.

I used to think that hairy backs might be considered unattractive, but then in the college shower, I saw a man who had thick hair both on his chest and belly as well as his back. It was beautiful. I did learn some things from those partners who were hairy. I used to give long back rubs to guys as a way of leading up to fucking them as well as thanking them afterwards for letting me inside them. As much as I loved to do that, the hairy guys did NOT enjoy it unless you use lotion. The reason being is that they said that rubbing a hairy back hurt as if you were pulling their hair. So it always helps to have lotion on hand to use if your partner is hairy and you want to give him a back rub. In the case of some like my current hairy partner, is that they also sometimes just prefer to have a back scratch.

One story I will share is that like some, I tried to give up m2m sex partially because I felt some religious guilt, but more because when I was young to much of it was shallow -- great sex, but then nothing much else. So I joined a few groups that has a religious bent that m2m attraction could be altered through a lot of prayer. One of those groups held their weekly meeting in the founder's apartment. That guy was SO much my type - beautiful face, lots and lots of body hair, and a beautiful butt. How I kept my desires down during those meetings was I would focus on his negative attributes -- namely he loved to go "shopping". So I focused on that "gayish" stereotype to keep my libido at bay when I was around him... During these meetings he would swear up and down he was being "cured" as he had found that he really wanted a deep loving friendship with another man -- with no "sinful" m2m sex. He would talk about how and he and this buddy were like plutonic soulmates. (This group was in KCMO, and his best buddy was in St Louis... Anyway, one day I heard the group disbanded because his friend had betrayed him -- this friend had confessed that he was in love with this guy. It shattered his world as he couldn't deal with the physical love desire that this man had for him. So the group disbanded. Well one time at a cruise park in my town, I ran into this guy and he was reading of all things comics. I approached him and he was rather crude saying he was there to prove that he had just as much right to be there to read comics as were the gays that ere there to "get off". I tried to befriend him since he had been kind enough to host this group when it did exist. So I took him somewhere to eat. He was really acting kind of bitter, and I felt his "straightness" was just an act. He tried to tell me his heterosexuality was "budding" with his overt stares and flirting at our waitress. He had no place to stay the night, so I let him sleep in a spare bedroom. It was rather awkward as my folks were visiting. (I was never out to my family.) He also asked if my women folks would mind doing his laundry. (I did it myself, but I was shocked at his attempt to act super stereotyped male with given gender roles of housekeeping.) This next morning, he took off and I never saw him again. I had to change the sheets as he was so hairy that he had shed body hair in the sheets. This was so many years ago, but I hadn't thought about it until last night when I was reading this thread. In my mind, he had so many things I physically was attracted to -- especially the body hair, and a handsome face. Even if I hadn't known him because of a gay-conversion group, I would never have come onto him as in my mind he was in a class above me. I'm glad I didn't as he had an even harder time dealing with his attractions than I did. I was upset because it seemed like no man wanted me except maybe to visit for sex a couple of times a week. The gay couples I knew seemed more interested in sex with others. For me, I wanted just one guy who I could have sex with multiple times a day. (How so many guys on this GLBT forum can claim they are so attracted to just cock, yet are intent to do it and then walk away until some time in the future and then maybe with someone else is beyond me. Even with my ED, I still want to be around my guy's body every day at a minimum. There isn't a night that I don't put my flesh near his hairy hole to feel the hairy texture and the warmth radiating from his insides and praying that one day I'll be able to tap that luxurious, manly, hairy hole with my cock instead of just my fingers.)

As to the man who wished to be an ex-gay, I hope where ever he is happy. As altruistic as I want to believe I am for him, I must confess the lust for him that I held back then. I wish I would have slapped him silly when he tried to pull that macho, "budding heterosexual" act on me, and then kissed the hell out of him and gave him a piece of my mind about how thankful he should be that he was born so handsome and with so much lush, beautiful, manly fur. Then I would have rimmed him until he begged me to slowly fucked him until he confessed that manly love is wonderful both sexually and emotionally. (Again this was a very long time ago, but all this talk of body hair brought up this long tucked away memory...)
