In the middle to late 80s there was a magazine dedicated to bare female vulvas called Close Shave. At the time it was the only magazine I could find specializing in the topic. Complete removal of pubic hair was not yet mainstream, and in some books and articles it was considered kinky. Since it was a fringe sex magazine, it contained few, if any, advertisements. The models were often not as attractive as the young women found in the more acceptable porn magazines of that time. The Close Shave women were also usually older than the typical porn models, but they showed me the things I wanted to see. I eagerly anticipated the newsstand appearance of each issue.
In the back of the magazine was an amateur section, where pubeless readers self pictures were published. They never showed the faces of these amateurs. Each submission contained only the name and the state of the person. I often wondered if they were true or made-up. The second or third year of my buying the magazine, they printed the first pictures of a male without any pubic hair. He was from California. Until I saw those pictures, the idea of a male removing his pubes had never occurred to me.
For a few weeks I kept returning to the pictures of the pube free male. I found them stimulating. What would it be like if I also shaved my pubic hair? Masturbation was a favorite pastime of mine and the thought of not having hair in the way excited me. I had a very thick pubic bush and some of it grew out of my shaft, less than two inches from the end. Not only would shaving help my penis and balls feel and look more sensual, but hair would no longer get caught in condoms when putting them on or taking them off. There were also a few times when two pubes would get tangled with each other and form a knot. It was extremely painful when they started pulling on each other. So there were some practical reasons for me to remove my pubic hair, but the main reason was masturbation and the kinkiness of looking at myself looking so naughty.
I spent a few days anticipating my first shave, once I decided to do it. The experience was going to be erotic and would be followed by a great masturbation session. I wanted to savior the erotic feelings I was having, being on an erotic high. Each time I contemplated my first shave, my penis instantly became hard. On the evening I decided to do it, I made sure there would be no interruptions. It was going to be just me and my penis and balls.
First I removed much of my thick push with scissors, a technique I had seen in some of the Close Shave shaving layouts. Then I applied shaving cream and began the final step in removing my pubes for the first time. My penis was as hard as it had ever been during the entire procedure. When done shaving, I cleaned the mess with water and a towel. Then I checked it out in my floor length mirror. It was terrific. I loved the way I looked. It felt better than expected. I was hooked, addicted to remaining pube free for life!
For the first ten years of being bare down there, I continued to shave, usually twice a week. Then, I switched to an epilator after my wife purchased one. The first time I tried using the epilator it was too painful. My wife suggested a topical spray to deaden the sensation. This helped, but was still not enough. So I decided to remove each hair by plucking, which required two weeks of short sessions. The new hair growth was not as strongly rooted, and was much less painful to remove with the epilator. Since then, I groom once a week. The results are better than shaving. It is smoother and the re-growth does not itch since it has finer ends.
