Gentlemen! I'm doing some research for a scene in a story. I'd like any answers I can get from those of you who shave down there.

1) what kind of razor do you use? Especially on your testicles. Is the ball sack hard to shave and how to you assure you don't cut yourself?

2) Have you ever BEEN shaved rather than doing it yourself? If yes: was the experience erotic? Did you get and maintain an erection and, if you did, how did the person shaving you work around it?

3) When men get a shave at the barbers, it often ends with a nice hot towel to the clean-shaven face. Have you ever had a hot towel on a just-shaven pubic area? I don't mean burning hot, just hot/warm. If so, how does this affect an erection?

Thanks for answering these questions. This and any other info you can give me which might infuse my scene with versimilitude would be very much appreciated.

Hope this answered some of your Qs
It helps a lot, thank you. Do you really get as good a shave with the electric trimmer as with a razor? If so, what kind of trimmer?

I use a mach 3, the same thing I use on my face. But, I'll only use it twice down there. I kind of stretch my sac to shave, haven't had any problems. My taint (give me a better word and I'll use it) is different. I cut myself there about every 4th shave, but never that bad.

Nope. Sorry, too much of a control freak. However, I find an erection makes it easier to nic myself around the base, so I try to avoid getting aroused while shaving.

I go with a warm water rinse after, and then lotion. But, now I will have to try a warm towel next time.
 
I decided to surprise my SO and shave down there one day. First let me say that all razors are not created equal. I attempted to use my mach 3 and that did not go well at all (cuts...pain). So I decided to shower and forget the idea, when I saw my SO's intuition razor hanging in the shower. I thought, what the hell and I gave it a try. In combination with the hot shower it worked great (even on the sack) and was super smooth. It made sex very interesting. After about 3 days the hair started to grow back and about drove me crazy. I decided not to shave again and had to suffer for about 2 weeks.

Are those not the BEST razors? I can't use anything else.

For those not in the know, Intuition Razors are women's razors (triple safety razor) with a band of soap around them. You use them in the shower, which wets the soap so that it lathers you skin as the razor glides down. Hence you lather and shave almost simultaniously. Very convenient, especially for shaving legs in the shower :cathappy:

I was shaved by a nurse, in the hospital, while being prepared for abdominal surgery. After she had shaved off my pubic hair, which I had been told would be done, I remember feeling relieved because I was thinking we were done, and I had only started to become aroused. But then I felt her touching my penis, and I realized the scrotum was being shaved, and I became fully erect. She maintained a firm grasp on my shaft, moving the penis as needed until all the hair was gone. It seems to me my having an erection made it easier for her to remove the hairs around the base of the penis, and some that grow on the underside of the penis up to about half its length.

This was done using a disposable razor and a soap and water solution, all of which came in a disposable kit that she placed between my thighs. Actually, I find that shaving the scrotum without getting cut isn't all that difficult, at least when I've shaved myself. But this nurse had probably done this so many times that she could do it with her eyes closed.

I don't know if this is the kind of input you were looking for, since it was not something I really submitted to voluntarily. And I'm not into medical fetish stuff, this was just an experience I had that you might find interesting. But yes it was very erotic, being completely shaved by a woman I'd never even met before.

It's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, thank you. I very much needed to know if the experience would be too uncomfortable or scary (a razor down there in someone else's hands) for it to be erotic for a guy, or if, even under such circumstances, it could still be erotic.

This helps a lot. Especially knowing that a stranger, who you're not going to go any further with, could arouse you by doing this--how much more if it was someone you hoped to have sex with, right?
 
I use a philips electric razor.

I does tend to pull and cut a little on the scrotum and the bottom of the shaft but I kind of like that pain ;) Part of the reason I do it!

The cuts sting like hell when I use my after cream, it's great.
:devil:
 
I shave all the time-- see profile pic. I use soap as the lube and a regular disposable razor. OK its actually my wifes razor and its pink. I shave my cock, balls and strip leading to my ass. I even shave my ass and I;m not talking about the cheeks -- smooth and clean

I then use tea tree oil as aftershave.
 
Shaving

I use that shaving gel it lathers when you rub it on. I use a single blade bic razor I find it easier with an erection than with out. The "sac" I pull the skin tight and have not cut myself yet . I have not been shaved by anyone but I have been watched by my wife while I shave myself she will tell me any area I might have missed, usually I shave her first and then myself then we spend time with lotion on each other sex is great afterwards. To keep the stubble problems away I touch up about every four days. One thing I have found my wife got me a cock and testicle ring combo when I first tired it with hair it pulled so much that I didnt want to use it but shaved use some lube it slides on and doesnt pull or pinch. :nana:

Oh, that's a nice added point. Thank you. :cathappy:
 
shaving down there.

i use an electric trimmer also to shave my pubic area. then i use a brand new mach 3 razor, with sensitive skin shaving cream. it helps cut down on razor burns and bumps. then a shower will take place of the hot towel. i have never had any one shave me.
 
My wife shaves me all over (head to toe) at least 2 to 3 times a week. She loves to have me slick with no hair. She uses a Mach 3 razor, and hell yes I lay perfectly still especially while she shaves my cock and balls.

The ever so popular Mach 3, when I actually use a razor. I know a lot of people have trouble with it, but Veet works just fine for me as long as I don't leave it on too long. So I use that most of the time. I can get spots I can't see, razor burn and cuts aren't an issue, and I get less skin reaction after.

When shaving, the sack can be a bit tricky, but as long as you keep the skin tight, it isn't as big a deal as you might imagine before taking a razor to it the first time. Where I have more trouble is the areas I can't see. Having a razor at my sphincter when I can't tell what I'm doing is very unnerving!

Yes, my wife has shaved me. We both admitted after the first time that it was the most erotic experience we'd shared together! Unfortunately the kids prevent us from repeating the fun as often as we like, which leaves me alone with Veet. My dick was hard throughout and I think it actually helped the process by tightening my skin.

Haven't tried a hot towel, but now I'm gonna have to. I respond better to cool things as far as my erection is concerned, so my guess is a hot towel isn't going to do much for that - but I think it could be good for the skin and preventing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Tips and tricks?

I use Clearasil facial wash on the skin after shaving or Veeting (is that a word?) and kind of scratch lightly as I'm lathering it in. It sounds kind of silly, but the wash is very mild and is designed not to irritate the skin - and it, along with the light scratching action, exfoliates the skin and reduces itch, razor burn, ingrown hairs, and breakouts (rash or pimples). Afterwards, a bikini cream works pretty well at keeping the itch down... plus of course, the more you do it, the less itch you'll have anyhow.

If you use a razor, make sure it is sharp!!! And don't go over an area repeatedly. Once or twice, that's it. If there are stubborn hairs that avoid the razor, get them tomorrow. Going at it too much shaves all the skin away and leaves only hair! Owwwch!

If you use Veet or something similar, don't use that fake plastic bladeless razor thing - use a wet washcloth. Far less harsh on the skin and much more effective. Apply the stuff to your sack absolutely last - a minute or less before you're ready to start removing - and remove there first. My skin can handle the Veet perfectly well everywhere except on the sack. Don't leave that stuff on the scrotum for long. And you don't feel it until after you're done. Then your sack burns like hell!

In my case, uncomfortable yes, but not scary. The razor was in the hands of someone who was exceptionally skilled with it. I felt vulnerable and naked, but that is part of the eroticism.

I will be happy to answer any other questions. Does your story involve a man who is being shaved against his will?
 
Just a mach 3, sometimes with a little cream, but often just in a warm tub. I only shave the balls, not the entire area...By manipulating the balls to stretch the scrotum, one can become reasonably adept at smoothing all of the irregular surfaces... a little baby oil after is nice, although the towel sounds like a great idea. An erection seems to help-- have had a partner help but not take over...could be erotic if I felt totally safe

That got me to thinking, I feel totally at ease letting my wife shave me. I trust her completely, and she's far more patient than I am. If anything, I trust myself less!
 
I have been shaving for a couple of years now. I have found it easiest in the shower. The Mach 3 works for me, with a good soaping of all of the equipment. I do the shaft, sack and taint area, rarely nicking them. I also trim the area above my dick, just to keep the hairs under control. I just take my time and ensure there is plenty of soap on the area to be shaved. I stretch the unit and my sack, much like you would do with your facial area.

The feeling of being smooth is awesome and I think my wife is used to it. At least she isn't spitting out hairs any more.

Have never had her shave me, though it would be awesome. Am trying to line it up to happen in bed, so that we can both be relaxed for the shave.
 
My Friend with benefits asked if I would shave for her since she was shaved also so as a surprise I did. I looked up on the internet how to shave, and I took some info from whay I read and what I tried. I kinda do give myself a barber shave using a large facerag and just a normal razor. Never really had a problem with cut or anything I basically shave every other day or somtimes I go as much as 4 to 5 days when the hair is just starting to become noticeable. I also use JERGENS Naturally Smooth Shaving Minizing Moisturier its suppose to lesson the time between shaving and make it easier to shave.
 
Personally I use an electric razor, no fear of getting cut but Hell to clean.

Neevr yet been shaved by someone else or had a hot towel wrapped around it so can't contribute anything to that end
 
StrapFantasy: Thank you so much for the detailed tips! They're very much appreciated--and I think they sound like great advice for either sex in regards to shaving.

likesmbig: I'm afraid you won't be too interested in this particular story as it's part of a series I've been writing in the gay male category :eek:

You, along with most of the gents who have kindly responded to this query, seem more interested in scenes where the shaver is a lady...I will keep the reluctant male being shaved by a sexy female in mind, however, for some future story :devil:

Why not just wax, it lasts longer ( yes it hurts but only for a second )
I would go in that direction if this was regarding a real situation...however, speaking as a writer of erotic tales, shaving is FAR more erotic to write about than waxing. First, because it involves so many elements. The wetting of the skin, the cream, the razor, the pampering of the shaven skin afterwards. Second, because it can be done slowly--a quick rip just doesn't have the same teasing nature. Third, because it does involve some thrill of danger, the razor in another's hands, delving into vulnerable and intimate parts.

For an erotic story, a razor is very much the way to go. For real life, however, waxing might be far faster, easier, and more effective.

That will be really hot. Please let me know if I can help with that.
