For those among us who choose to shave and keep it smooth; do you get or notice reactions from others to being shaved?

For example, at the gym (locker room or shower), Dr. appointment or even from a new lover who is seeing your cock for the first time?

I ask this because my girlfriend told me she prefers the smooth shaved Look. At first I was a bit reluctant to commit to that, partly because of how others might react to seeing my shaved dick. There was also a hint of submissiveness (fending) to the notion.

But, the idea of my gf even having a preference and sharing it with me, along with my curiosity got the best of me .....

I am still self-conscious about getting naked in semi public places though and am curious about anyone else’s experience with that.

This is such a common subject that I don't usually respond, but I very recently had an experience regarding shaving that caught me as mildly funny.

On Monday, the weather was forecast to be exceptionally warm for November here in Indiana and I have the week off work, so I decided to drive up to a beach in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore for one last naked day before winter sets in. This beach isn't legally nude, so I walked down a ways to get out of the most heavily populated area. I walked back a little from the shoreline, laid out my towel in the grassy area, got naked, and relaxed for a while. As the day went on, eventually 4 other guys ended up naked nearby and we all started talking. 5 guys hanging out naked on a non-nude beach just standing/sitting around talking and shooting the shit. We were a gay couple from downtown Chicago, a guy who claimed to be straight but who had given me a darned-good hand job minutes before the others showed up, a chubby guy in a thong, and me. And the conversation just somehow turned to shaving.

4 of the 5 of us were either shaved, waxed, or severely trimmed. Only the chubby thong guy sported a full bush. (He eventually ditched the thong.) The conversation was just a natural and comfortably casual discussion of how we manscape down there. I've been nude in gym locker rooms, doctor's appointments, swinging situations, multiple nude beaches and resorts, etc., but I don't ever remember having a full-on discussion regarding shaving. In all my experience of being nude around others shaved or trimmed, whether at a swinger resort or in a conservative Indiana gym locker room, my shaved cock has never been a topic of discussion.

Pubic styles seem to either be accepted or ignored. For all the posts made regarding shaving, from my experience, it's not something that is a cause for concern, hesitance, embarrassment, stress, pride, etc. I go bald out of a sensitivity to my playmates. Most people would prefer not to have pubes in their mouth when they're sucking a cock. Regardless, it's a personal choice as to what you do down there. It's no one else's business, and in my experience, no one cares unless you're sporting a full bush and it turns a potential playmate off.

If your girlfriend likes you shaved and you're cool with it, go for it and don't worry about what anyone else in the locker room is going to think because they probably won't even notice and if they do, they don't care!

i've been shaving my pubes since i was a teen, i've yet to meet a woman who didn't enjoy and appreciate it, i've also had several over the years comment if more guys shaved they'd get head more often as in my experience many won't suck a guy with a full bush some won't even go down on trimmed

No one who sees you will know how hairy you are or aren’t. Some guys are naturally smooth and don’t have to shave.
Do what makes you happy. If someone doesn’t like it they can piss off. I have a hairy chest and legs but keep the pubes trimmed and balls, butt, and back smooth with sugaring. So it’s pretty obvious that I manscape. No one has ever said anything.

I've been either completely shaved or tightly trimmed (with shaft and balls always shaved) for the close to 20 years.
I never had a comment from any of my doctors (although once, when getting a cardiogram, my doctor said it was lucky that I shaved my chest because the pads stuck better and didn't hurt coming off,
At the gym (pre-covid), never really noticed any attention or comments. There were quite a few other shaved/close-trimmed guys who kept a similar schedule to mine so who were usually showering and changing at the same time.
I did get some crap from a married friend of mine when he saw me all shaved, but I told him if he ever got back in the dating pool, he'd change his opinion pretty quickly. And in a couple of drunken conversations with various buddies, it's come up and many claimed to be shaved or trimmed. And I've never had a single woman complain about my lack pubes (as long as I wasn't uncomfortably stubbly)
Bottom line - it's just not a big deal. Do what makes you happy or what will make your partner find you more attractive. Nobody else really cares, nor should they.

Being in the lifestyle I have found that most men are either shaved or closely trimmed. Most of the women I have been with like the smooth look and fee!. For what its worth almost all the women are waxed or just a landing strip. Very sexy.

I've only completely shaved a few times just to see how it looked and neither the wife nor myself cared for it to stay that way for any length of time. Since this was before we got involved in swinging and I never had a reason to get naked around anyone else, she is the only one who has seen me like that.

The only time I was self-conscience and embarrassed about shaving something had nothing to do with that area, but was when I shaved my legs. Despite the fact it seems popular with some guys, especially of a certain age or ethnic group, I thought it looked ridiculous and despite being the height of summer, I wound up wearing long pants outside for almost two months till it grew back enough.

Hint of submissive....

My wife joined me in the shower one day years ago, told me that it might make it look bigger and shaved me. She decided she didn't like it, at my smaller then average size she said it made me look prepubescent. It grew out to a small fuzzy length and ever since when she in the shower with me she'll from time to time trim it down to a soft fuzzy length.

I've been shaving my cock shaft, balls, and about an inch above my cock for a number of years. I trim the rest of the pubic hairs so that nothing is more than 1" in length.

I've found that my wife seems more eager to perform oral sex as there's much less pubic hair floss for her to deal with. At the gym (prior to COVID), very few of the men who changed in the locker room were shaved or trimmed. I didn't care and wasn't subconscious about it. After all, it's my dick.

At my annual physical this summer, my physician did a hernia check and had to notice my trim and shave job. Again I didn't care what he thought. If trimming and shaving results in more oral sex from my wife, that's what I'm going to do!

If you aren't sure about it, trim a little. You can then trim some more if you like that, leave it alone, or shave. Small steps prevent big disappointments. Personally, I never even thought about trimming or shaving my groin area. Finally trimmed and that it how I ride now.

I’ve been shaved for decades. I used to get some negative responses and called a “faggot” etc. occasionally but nowadays it’s the norm in nudist circles and is much more common in changing rooms

I've never been self conscious about it.

As a lifetime swimmer and cyclist I'm usually smooth to lightly hairy--legs & butt as well as torso--but have often kept a little landing strip or trimmed triangle above smooth cock and balls. Smooth is normal in the pool locker room so no comments there. The only comments at the gym have been from those who are curious to shave or use depilatory cream themselves.

Most women and men have approved of my manscaping going all the way back to the 80s when I was in my 20s.

If your lady likes it I wouldn't worry about the reaction of others.

Been shaving since I was 15. I am 35 now. I am a Blond and I am not hairy at all. I've had some guys ask but most don't care. When I had hair it was so light that it looked as if I shaved anyway. Shaving my balls seems to make them more sensitive. Shaving is like have a nice body, it takes time and you have to keep it up. I also have a PA, and I have more people ask about that than shaving. I love going to nude beach and I used to be one of the few dudes who shaved. Not so much anymore.
