Aunty Social Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Dh asked if I would post this as a poll. Apparently there have been some... discussions... at work that have ranged far and wide.:lol: So. "Manscaping". Who does, who doesn't, why, how, how widespread is this? Discuss:D. ETA: Poll should be anonymous ETA (again) definition in title now. Edited August 11, 2012 by Aunty Social Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I had to look it up. Urban Dictionary's first definition should be something every single man should do in some form. Therefore, I assume you mean the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 A professional waxer I met called it a "back, crack, and sack wax". I've seen some patients with it, and it is odd. But then, I don't shave anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that's why I wouldn't discuss this here. That's extremely private information that belongs to him. :) If I discuss myself that's my choice, you know? ;) For the record for my opinion, I think it's a great, thoughtful thing to do in many cases of teA. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Absolutely not. My spouse and I both agree that it would weird us out for either one of use to remove pubic hair. It makes people look...pre-adolescent. We are grown married peeps. I am kinda wigged out that hairless is considered attractive. I blame porn.

I am trying to figure out how to wash my brain out with soap after seeing the sparkly, pejazzled man-part of a very well-endowed gentleman. And of course, I didn't click away immediately, because I'm wondering what good it would be to anyone like that. I mean, what's he going to do with it, and how could it be of any possible benefit to a... special friend? And if he's really happy to see someone, will the little mirror thingies fall off, or will he just be incredibly uncomfortable? Clearly, the man will never be able to wear a pair of jeans again. I don't want to see the looks of the other guys at the urinals in the men's room, either. "Hey, buddy, you wanna put that thing away?

stripe Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think I have posted on here about an old man in his Speedo whom I saw as a young teen; he had large tufts of graying hair protruding out of the sides of his suit. Traumatic. The young male swim teacher in his "underwear" (my kids' term) I see at the pool is definitely, definitely a friend of wax. There isn't much that's not visible. So let me just plead that whatever one, or one's man does, or does not do, let it not be exposed in public. Please. I don't want to have to see for myself.
