Been seeing ladies on and off for years.

Never understood this term in the ladies ads or how this affects the outcome of the service.

I have shaved that forest down there from time to time, thinking that would improve my chances of ladies going the extra effort to lick bawls, or even lower.

Do many of you do the same?  What is your method for keeping things tidy down there?  

Also, LADIES, chime in on your preference and your thoughts on this.

Note: I have knicked myself a few times and that bleeds like a banchee. Looking for tips and tricks here.

If you trim the bushes, it makes the tree look bigger and the flower smell sweeter.

The older I get the less I like it.
I keep it shaved. Works better for us less hung studs. Don't have to worry about pulling out a hair and pissing myself!

I could on with old saying like those but honestly I just plain like it smooth!

I always view well-groomed as more than just ‘manscaping’ and more about overall hygiene.  Teeth brushed/flossed, mouthwash, recent shower, shave, deodorant and trimmed up down below.  I use a regular trimmer with the shortest guard and use it liberally downstairs.  I’ve found a few providers will be more open to exploration if you’ve put the effort into it.

I'm part of the roughly 2/3 of women in the U.S. that want you to trim your pubes and/or completely shave/wax the ball and lower. Please.  

 
For the most part that means you should just be able to grab the trimmer, use the longest cutting guard you have and do a once or twice over. However, if someone wants me to go lower, it all depends on the grooming and the current state of hygiene. While pubic hair is good for your hygiene, pubic hair can trap sweat which in turn makes your balls stink thereby making them... gross. So trim and/or shave the ball hair and if you like rimming, go get the backdoor waxed.  

 
Besides that, some other tips:

• If the provider suggests you shower, take the damn shower and use the washcloth. Wash your balls and run the washcloth between your ass like a credit card.  
• Condition your pubic hair - this will minimize it feeling so prickly as it grows in
• Shower after trimming and exfoliate as this will minimize red bumps, ingrown hairs, etc.

I’m surprised no one has mention keeping your hands clean and nails trimmed. Dudes that bite their nails should file down the sharp edges, I’m sure it’s not pleasant being finger banged by someone with sharp nails. Also washing your hands clean also means getting the gunk from under your nails cleaned.  

I usually take a trimmer down south every month or so. Naturally I’m a hairy dude, so I try to trim up as much as possible. When I don’t keep up with it, I just feel gross after activities like running, gym, yard work etc. I also have a small amount of back hair, but I leave that alone as I can’t reach it myself, and I don’t want to ask someone to take a trimmer to my back (like who would you even ask to do this for you?). No provider has mention my back hair as being an issue. One provider told me It adds to my DILF (even though I have no kids) look but who knows if she was being honest or Just trying pad my ego.

It's easy to find trimmers that are designed to trim those hairs with little to no risk of nicks so long as you pay attention to what you are doing.  I just do it every week plus whenever I'm going to see someone the next day and it just takes a few minutes.

I shave my balls in the shower every day.   I trim the hair on my abdomen regularly.  Not too short as that makes it like a bristle brush (same problem with shaving.)  Maybe no shorter than 1/4".

Live it. Learn it. Own it.

Get one about every six weeks of the shaft, balls and ass crack. Women love it and get better sensation with no hair on the base of the shaft. Then I manscape above my cock on #1 setting. No fuss no muss no razor burn or knicking of sensitive areas. Kind of a turn on getting one. Monica up in Brooklyn park does a great job and she wants you to get hard for her to do a better job and makes it easier for her. I’m fortunately not a very hairy person to begin with. Spoken to many ladies that can’t stand the dudes with gorilla hair all over their bodies.
