...shave 'down there'? Does he tidy it up, or leave it au naturale?

My husband was asking how I prefered it. I'm not so sure I have a preference. I like it tidy, but not completely bald!! I told him to do whatever he feels most comfortable with. He says 'well, what do other guys do?' HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW, I haven't seen any other nude man in... 7 years?? I don't know! So, I thought I'd do the next best thing... ask YOU ladies ;)

So how does your husband have it, and how would you prefer it?

What can I do next?

My hubby keeps his trimmed up - I keep mine mostly bare, and what is not bare, trimmed very short. He doesn't do his chest or anything, but a mouth full of hair is not my personal preference.

Hell no. The only reason I even trim is because he says her prefers that sex and flossing be separate activities. His hair doesn't generally get caught in my teeth when I go down on him.

He 'man-scapes' on a pretty regular basis. I've never asked him to & I guess I prefer it that way. He's not bald, he doesn't shave, just trims up w/ the beard trimmer.

It would completely gross me out if my husband groomed down there! The idea of a man shaving his chest, trimming 'down there' are absurd and unnatural. What girl wants to feel stubble when kissing on their partner's chest or feel stubble when feeling down there. I would feel like I was with a gay guy.

Um, well, actually (sorry bout the TMI, but you DID ask!), we, uh, groom each other every now and again, we use his beard trimmer. It's pretty freaking sexy, actually. Jeesh, too early for this Rach!

(I should add, not bald, just tight)

My husband tidies up a little, but only a little. He's mostly very au-naturale.

My preference? Well my ex tried shaving completely once. NOT good. Looks weird, feels too pokey. It hurt me, honestly, after a day or two as it started to grow rough stubble. I asked him not to shave again. He did anyways (come to find out months later that he was cheating on me. I guess his girlfriend DID like it shaved). So a nice trim is my preference, or au-naturale.

Is it sad that I currently do not know? I guess that shows how much attention I pay to umm...it. He does trim, and once he made a smiley face for S and G's.

So does he want you to go looking to see what everyone else does? That sounds like an invite to me....on second thought, when you've seen one you pretty much have seen them all right?

I like it if it is trimmed. I think shaved looks nice but once it grows back it is prickly if you are fooling around. Sorry if that is TMI. LOL

My BF shaves some. I would rather he just trimmed, cuz I hate stubble! But shaved is nice. I really don't have a strong preference.

Some guys are less hairy, too. My BF is very hairy. My ex almost not at all.

answers from Seattle on

My husband is half northern Italian (fair hair and skinned folk) and 1/4 blackfoot, and 1/4 irish. He doesn't have a lot of hair to begin with. ANYWHERE. Non-issue.

The vast majority of the men I've slept with have had a lot of hair. I am a HUGE proponent of trimming hair down to "finger width" topside (aka pinch the hair between the flat of 2 fingers -not finger thumb- with your hand flat on their belly and trim the hair down to the tops of your fingers) about 3/4s of an inch, and trimming down to if it's not already 1/2 - 1/4 inch elsewhere.

The thing with men... it's pretty easy to just take your hand to the base of the shaft and keep the hair away for "strictly" head. But who likes that? So keep it short enough that my lower hand hand isn't going to be yanking on hair as it moves on the shaft, and short enough courtside that when I'm playing ball, there isn't a jungle on the court.

answers from Chicago on

A few months after my hubby started going to the gym (and showering there) he told me how impressed he was with all the manscaping and went out and bought a trimmer for the job. He was so excited, then stood in front of me, clippers in hand and said, "Ok, Kate, let's go!" Uhhh....ME? I didn't really want to help, but I obliged the first time, and have been enjoying ever since ;-) (BIG change to go from hairy Middle Eastern man to much more metrosexual)
