	After about a day of re-growth, it felt like I was having sex with a cactus.

SO TRUE!

	If the woman I am with wants it trimmed, she can do it for me, otherwise, nada.

Brave man! Not many men will let even their SO anywhere near their balls with anything resembling a blade!

I'm very creeped out by this trend among - okay, well, almost everyone I know or encounter. I think it's weird and unnecessary to remove hair that really didn't seem to bother people for rather a long time. (This applies to shaving legs, as well, but that's off-topic.)

I guess I think it's probably preferable to trim every once in a while, just because...well, things do occasionally get a bit chaotic otherwise. But trimming is not necessary and I would certainly never ask someone to do it. It's their body and they are perfectly free to do whatever they want with it. I look at it this way: if anything unfortunate happens and I'm not around anymore (i.e. breakup), they're the one who has to itch while it grows back.

	If some women could answer me this: Do you consider "some maintenance" to consist of shaved balls or is it just some all-around trimming that's important?

Just overall trim. Nothing specific. Nothing shaved, ack.

	I suppose. Though if I were with someone and he/she told me to shave, or lose/gain weight, or how to dress they'd most likely be out the door. Other people tolerate this? Or are arrogant enough to demand it in their SO?

Exactly my view.

	I would never shave the whole thing. Doesn't it look funny if that's the only part of your body that isn't hairy?

Yes. I think it looks fucking hilarious, personally. My last boyfriend shaved, and that was before I paid any attention to this phenomenon... I didn't mention anything (see: it's his body), but I was thinking, something is missing!

What would be wrong with talking about his body?

Who said anything was wrong with talking about his body? Something is wrong, however, with passing judgment on something that is as irrelevant as his grooming habits. He had already made me very self-conscious by saying something about mine; it was not an important issue so I was not going to make him uncomfortable in the same way.

Then I guess irrelevance is in the eye of the beholder.

You're killing his soul by imposing your imperialist kapitalist mindwashed preferences onto his individual wholistic body. Or something.

Don't you know that the pubes are the window to the soul? Landing strips shackle you to the man.

Sorry that I don't support making people change their bodies for me. I happen to like the idea of autonomy, so yeah.

If I had a bit of chocolate on my nose, but seem to be happily oblivious to it, would you embarrass me by telling me I've got chocolate on my nose? Or would you respect my right to be happily unaware?

If you want to have chocolate on your nose you're perfectly welcome to have chocolate on your nose. I think most people are aware of the state of their pubic hair, though, so I don't think it needs to be pointed out. Congratulations on your failed analogy?

Well I guess the unique situation would dictate the appropriateness of such a request, right? If I married someone who was fat and had always been fat, I'm not sure how appropriate it would be to wake up one day and give him\her an ultimatum about being fat. Likewise if someone was in a relationship with me and told me to shave my beard, despite the obvious fact I've always had a beard and that it is meaningful to me, then that's a problem. But if I got into a relationship with someone physically active and this person stopped being active after marriage, then asking that person to shape up wouldn't be inappropriate in my eyes.

He was unaware that you found his shaved pubes odd. TBH, if you were that awkward talking about his pubes, how the hell did you talk about sex? Did you just lie there and let him do whatever, because you didn't want to make him uncomfortable?

I did not say I felt uncomfortable discussing his grooming habits; I said that I did not want to make him feel uncomfortable by passing judgment on them. You're saying that I should have said something negative to him and tried to make him change his personal habits based on something that was not important to me? Surprise: my own trivial preferences don't outweigh my SO's lifestyle, especially not when it has to do with HIS body.

I think his is a good analogy.

I don't, for reasons I already mentioned, i.e. that most people are aware of the state of their pubic hair, which is different from not knowing you have chocolate on your nose.

Even working with that analogy, I wouldn't say something like, "I think you're really weird for accidentally getting chocolate on your nose. Why would you do something like that? It's unattractive" or, "I don't like that you got chocolate on your nose. Could you please not do that again? I find it unattractive." I would probably say, "Oh, you have chocolate on your nose." So should I say, "Oh, you shave your balls"? I think he knew about that already.

Do you tell him what sexually turns you on? What techniques make you finish? How he needs to move his finger to hit the right spot?

Let me guess, your trivial preferences don't outweigh your SO's sexual desires?

---

If I'm your sexual partner, I'll do everything I can, within medically safe limits, to turn you on. Shaved, overgrown, change the color, change the outfit, roleplay, gear...if it's medically safe, I'll give it a go for you.

I appreciate the same. Makes for damn good sex, two people who both communicate and accommodate their sexual desires.

Perhaps a scrotum goatee will become popular

I really don't consider that to be the same situation, honestly. You're missing the point - I don't prefer for him to shave, but it's not important. It's not as if I'm going to turn tail and run away because he does shave. It's just not what I find most attractive. People can do what they want. I was merely responding to the OP's question about what I think is preferable.

That's all well and good. I'm glad you enjoy your own preference to cater to your partner's desires over your own; there's nothing wrong with that. But not everyone feels that way, and I am one of those who do not. My life will not be negatively impacted by someone's pubic hair, so why bother bringing it up?

Do you think your SO should care about what you find attractive?

Your argument is based on the assumption that he doesn't get pleasure from seeing his partner experiencing pleasure.

Bingo. I enjoy knowing someone special thinks I'm sexy, and I enjoy making someone I like cum hard.

If all I cared about were my own preferences, I'd download porn and masturbate instead.

[CharlieBrown]

Indifferent towards others. Like other posters, I've shaved the nether region once and will never do that again. It felt weird for the first day, but then became painful as the hairs started growing back. Suddenly every movement created crotch pain.

Although, I do a little bit a maintenance. I'm a fairly hairy person and I'd imagine that in ten years you could throw me out into a forest and try to pass me off as Bigfoot. Anyways, whenever the bush starts getting caught in the zipper on my pants is when it's time to cull it just a bit.
