subject: Pubic Hair Shaving For Males [print this page] It seems to be the trend today for many men to want to rid themselves of body hair. More and more we see where certain film stars have shaved their arms, chest and back. What is perhaps not quite so widely known is that many men are also shaving their pubic hair.
There are many reasons for this trend, one of which is the fact that a hair free skin is easier to keep clean, and for a man it also enables him to examine his testicles and scrotum much easier. The other reason of course is that it can help to add interest to your sexual life particularly when in a long term relationship. Many women prefer men to be free of hair around their penis as they feel it is sexier and is less likely to harbor infections.
If you are interested in shaving your pubic area, then you have no reason not to give it a try. So long as you take great care whilst shaving, and prepare your skin properly beforehand, then it is a totally safe and hygienic thing to do.
You should first shower and gently exfoliate the area to be shaved, so as to rid yourself of any dry skin particles that may have built up. If you have a lot of hair to contend with, then using scissors prior to using a razor is advisable. Male body shaving has become part of some men's grooming routine, and there are now electric razors specifically for this. If you have a very sensitive skin the electric razor may be the best bet for you.
Once you have dried the area thoroughly, apply a shaving cream for sensitive skin all over the area, and then gently apply the razor to the head of the penis, shaving slowly and gently downwards around the shaft. Continue to shave down around the testicles, but do this slowly and with care to avoid any accidents. On completion of the shaving, you should then wash and exfoliate again.
There is no need to worry if a slight rash appears afterwards, as this is a natural occurrence the first few times that you shave your pubic hair. It is easily treatable using a cortisone cream, which you can buy from any pharmacy. Also consider using a moisturizing cream (even if a rash does not appear), to keep the area from excessively drying out.
