Good advice.  It probably bears repeating on the Newbie Board as well.  I am new and after 27 years of marriage, we tend to forget what is going on down there.  My SO has not looked at the region in 5 years, so I am able to trim.  It does not hurt to have a handy excuse for the grooming though.

"I saw the doctor about a rash in the groin area and he advised me to keep the pubes trimed short as they harbor the nasty fungi that cause the rashes in the first place.

It's true too.

Since keeping my pubes trimmed, no more jock itch.

My (ex) spouse bought it.

Hi - Don't feel bad. You gave the gent a choice after all, and he declined. When I was in Viet Nam, I learned to trim old Johnson, kept it that way every since. Ladies all around the world (some of them a bit more hairy than is typical here) appreciate it. Many, including civvies, LOVE it. If you hook up with a bored married lady she'll go crazy for it. So there's every reason for the gents to maintain it properly...

I have always trimmed periodically to the best of my ability...  that way it's no big shock if I do it for some special occasion.  Now if the SO would just get the idea...  
I'd suggest trimming a little at a time...  not shaving...  besides, it makes "ole Henry" look bigger to keep the hedge trimmed.

Years ago my wife & I both started using my beard trimmer down there (I've since taken to shaving... my face that is).

I keep doing it because I find short hair more comfortable than long hair.

She graduated to getting a brazilian wax every so often.  I know she still gets it done because I still see the salon charge on my credit card statement.  Oh well....

that guys go to a session without attention to personal hygiene.  I am not talking major grooming here, but neat and clean.  Shower just before ??  you bet.  More pleasant for me.  If you are married - there is the old gym excuse.  

As to trimming, one does not have to go the whole bare routine, but a nice trim is appreciated... Me?  I prefer the total shave bit, but that is just me.

Heck, when going to a strip club, I've learned - be freshly showered, a mild body spray and a clean shave (top and bottom) and gals will do a lot of "extras."  However, go in smelling - and they will do nothing.

I just do not get the guys who go in gross.... it makes no sense.

It's never a bad thing to tend the yard.  

After reading this post
I am left wondering

Why the original poster decided
to break up

Her thoughts and message into an interesting
way of typing it into the message box.

I've never seen an array of thoughts
put into this type of format.

hon, I do all I can to be clean and neat, I do understand to a degree why they can't trim cause of the wife but even she's not touching you otherwise you'd be there. Doesn't that tell you something.
If I see he makes no effort to be neat n clean I will send him packing. If you wish to be unclean go elsewhere, thats just yucky.

Re: Please, please guys... trim and be clean.

It pains me to this day to admit this...but...do NOT use nair or other hair removal products as such. It not only burns tremendously but cold water only intensifies the burning sensation. I thought i had damaged it permanately. All is well nowadays, I have recovered from the intense lesson learned.

It's all about the manscaping.  

Keep your yard nice and tidy.

Put your toys away when you are done.

Live, love, laugh.
