I've given up.  Anything under my clothes can do what it likes, no one's going to see it .

How the **** can you possibly see what you are doing when trimming the back porch? You would need to live in a house of mirrors would you not?

You develop a very good sense of touch...

Rong !

You are all approaching this conundrum rong...

3.6 ltrs of Veets finest.. slather liberally with a 100mm brush, making sure you navigate the nooks and crannies of your human frame, stand in the shower, arm yourself with a shower capable of producing the water pressure force which would aid take off of Space X’s rocket..

Wait...

Noooooooo... waaaaaaiiiiittttt..

Don’t be tempted to scratch.. not yet anyway..

Ok! S.H.O.W.E.R... noooooow !!

there is no need to press record, really

How else will you show improvement for appraisal?

Anyway , I suspect the internet giants would press record for you and then bombard you with manscaping product adverts

Hmmm wouldn’t recommend veet on the plums.

Theres reasonable wet body shavers you can use which will give you a nice finish and you can get some Nads after wax/shave stuff to rub in which works good on nads.

Allegedly 🙂

What about that floss they use on hairy cheeks (requote as you see fit) in the turkish barbers?

I prefer a man to be hairy rather than shaven, but then I am an old git 😉

“otherwise I can’t see the wood for the shrubbery.”

Graham - pubic hair falls out when it is 1 inch long. In other words, it reaches a length of 1 inch then falls out, so is never longer. One. Inch. Yes. One inch. You might want to go back and edit that reply... You’re welcome. #JustSayin 😉

First pube I pull out at random to test that idea measures up at three inches.

If my pubes fell out at an inch long then I wouldn’t bother trimming them.

It’s the ones reaching my knees that I worry about 🤣

So, last night, I turn off my Sky box, TV defaults to a channel with that Naked Attraction programme on. Not a hair in sight - 4 women, 1 bloke. So damn weird. I don't want to mention "childlike", but I have to - is that what all men [i]want[/i]??

That show utterly baffles me - I can't imagine being so desperate (to get on TV? for a partner?) and to have to stoop so low as to be examined naked... imagine your son or daughter on there! Why is it even a TV programme!?

yours,

Baffled, Norwich.

I kept on with it as it seems more hygienic

You have armpit hair for a reason. It is nature's roller bearings. "Hygiene" in this context is a myth, and not an urban one.

To answer anybody asking "when did all this start?" the answer is the 1980s. With Mark Wahlberg and that levis launderette ad. Everything changed around then, a bit like Larkin's 1963, but not in a good way.

is that what all men <em class="bbcode-em">want??

Well no, obviously. There are plenty of specialist web sites that reveal the full spectrum of what people can find attractive.

But bare or neatly trimmed is definitely the more popular look at the moment, possibly influenced by porn (though you could counter-argue that porn just reflects what people want to see).

imagine your son or daughter on there!

Worse, imagine being the son or daughter watching their mum or dad on there!

Why are my roller bearings getting bigger as I get older?

Didn't I need them more as a kid when I spent all my days running about?

How do so many female athletes manage to move so well without bearings?

Surely pubes are more of a bushing?

Try being a bloke (the internet reliably informs me you can get a harness that you strap on to replicate most issues).

On the rowing machine yesterday I got a bollok trapped dangling down the leg of my boxers, every stroke for the next 10 minutes the poor bastard got squeezed and abraded before poping out and dropping back down again on the return. But damned if I'm stopping to put my hands down the for a rummage and letting the guy on the next machine think he's beaten me (be honest, rowing machines are always an unspoken race).

Frankly "my boobs jiggle a bit when I run" just doesn't cut it.

I've caught that "accidentally" as well.  I don't know if it's just de rigeur at the moment or whether it's done for TV (must be a hell of a job being in the make-up department if so) but you're right, there's not a public rabbit to be seen.

I'm struggling to see why I'd need roller bearings in my armpits, but myth or no I'm a lot less sweaty / stinky without it.

It was Nick Kamen.

Haha, I love the excuses men come up with for watching shite - 'the wife was watching' or 'I was flicking the channels' are two of the usual suspects... 🙂

 flicking the channels

I've not heard it called that before.

I was also 'flicking the channels' (and I'll admit it, i love shite TV so I'm a right little FLICKER at times - I love the border patrol and cops chase genres, plus that one where people shout at each other repeatedly before a man makes some indecipherable noises and then someone hands over a wad of cash for a shipping container full of shit)  I digress.

And i too came upon* some 'not supermodel quality' nudity and was gobsmacked when t'wife walked in. She then confessed she too has watched 'an episode or two'.

* i could also phrase that better

Thoughts:

- 99% of the population looks better with their kit on. Some of these folks (I draw no distinction between sexes here) would have got a second glance in the street, some even a sneaky turn around and glance at the rear view as well. But with kit off - wobbly bits, saggy bits, no-one came out that well TBH.

- I half wanted to get my body conscious 14 yo to look at it...... for that ^ reason; people you'd say were quite decent when clothed look nowhere near the airbrushed perfection of popstars or models on the beach in Bermuda. Equally, I think I look crap when naked but clearly I'm not actually that awful compared to Joe Average and he was happy to go balls out on national TV.

- the 'pornstar' look is just fine - for pornstars. For the average person - let's say I prefer some lettuce on my kebab rather than staring at the full horror of the greasy meat flapping out. Yes, i know it's there, but i don't need to see it.

- staring at winkies while your wife is in the room is disconcerting. More so when she exclaims at one of them.

- Lastly, i was disappointed no-one did that 'legs astride, get the M/2V swinging and then clamp your knees together to leave it out the back' a la the Alan Partridge window scene.  Sure fire way to get selected, I'd have thought.

Haha! I love the predictable responses when you do mention catching something shite accidentally!

My story was true, but I did sit there for 20 minutes aghast. But quite liking the boobies too. (And amazed at the lack of erectile function)
