    I would never let anyone shave my genitals. There is nothing wrong with you asking him to shave. Now if he doesn’t want to shave, ask him to use some conditioner, or coconut oil in the shower to soften his hair.

    I mean it is a small price to pay for blow jobs.

      I agree to asking him to shave instead of asking to shave it yourself. I don’t mind a bit of help tho, getting everything trimmed right is easier with someone else. But it all depends with what everyone’s comfortable with.

      Could ask him to trim and ask if he’d like some help, like someone else said aftershave care makes a big difference

    be sure to start with a trim. in my experience a lot of guys try to shave clean, don’t do any aftershave care AT ALL, and then are reasonably unhappy with the itchy-scratchy ingrown hair hellscape they have wrought.

    sometimes just convincing them it’s not supposed to be that bad is the harder part lmao

    It’s a place to start, sure, but don’t be surprised if he says no. I’ve been shaving my own balls for decades and I still worry about cutting myself.

    Being shaven feels great, and trimming the pubes adds “visual inches” so to speak, so I think there are compelling reasons to do it, but approach the subject delicately. It would be easy to come off as being critical of him. Maybe instead focus on not feeling sexy when you have to contend with the inevitable stray hair, or being interested in getting closer to his actual skin. You can be honest without needing to be brutal.

    Ask him to shave it. It’s not that big a deal. Manscaping is a thing, it’s 2025

      I feel like a gorilla if I don’t knock it back from time to time. I’ve even taken to keeping my armpit hair pretty short, it helps deodorant get to the skin and just feels cleaner.

        I think everyone should at least trim underarm hair, there is nearly nothing worse looking than the long underarm hair with deodorant clinging to it. This is not a gendered thing.

    Definitely. And it’s not about ‘shaving’, it’s about trimming. You can do it for him with a pair of electric clippers. It’s called ‘manscaping’
