The Ladies’ Perspective on Men’s Pubic Hair Options
To go trimmed, clean-shaven or au naturel? These options are on men’s minds a lot more than they admit – trust us. Men’s body hair is a touchy subject for most guys, but women have been dealing with it forever. They get regular waxes to rid themselves of leg hair, use laser hair removal to tackle armpit hair, tweeze their eyebrows, and trim/wax/shave their pubic hair. So, in this era of expanding possibilities for men and masculinity, it’s time to have a serious conversation about men’s pubic hair.
Grooming below the belt isn’t new, so whether you fully embrace your unkempt furriness or you started manscaping long before manscaping was even a thing, you must be at least a little curious to know what women prefer — especially when it comes to your nether regions.
You might think it’s unsightly, or inconvenient, but the truth is pubic hair exists for a reason – we just aren’t sure what reason that might be. Evolutionary biologists have suggested that pubic hair is an indicator of puberty, an evolutionary signal that we’re ready to reproduce; another hypothesis argues that pubic hair serves to trap pheromones, and that shaving it all off therefore means we lose out on the benefits of olfactory attraction.
Bacteriologists have long noted the ability of pubic hair to trap sweat, dirt and bacteria, thereby preventing potential infection-causing bacteria from reaching the genital area – a much more important function for women than for men. Pubic hair also reduces skin irritation and chafing, which are major causes of genital infections.
The takeaway is that you might want to think twice before removing all of your pubic hair, and instead opt for something closer to a trim. If you do decide to go bare, take some precautionary measures to stave off infections or skin irritations, including using a skin balm on your newly-shaved genital area.
Pubic Hair Styles
When it comes to pubic hair style, men definitely get the short end of the stick: women tend to have far more options and flexibility when it comes to opting for a unique style. That having been said, men have their own style variations.
- Bare – You could opt for a total shave, leaving no hair behind. This involves a lot more effort, especially in the scrotal area, as well as some aftercare, since shaved skin is especially sensitive and prone to infection.
- Trim – The most common option, and also the easiest and most low maintenance. A quick trim – whether with scissors or an electric shaver – will tame your unruly pubic hair without making it look like you put too much effort into your appearance.
- Scrotal shave – Some men concentrate their efforts on shaving their testicles, either for aesthetic or sexual reasons. If you go down this path to shave your balls, just be extra careful, as the skin on your testicles is thinner and easier to nick.
Do Girls Like Pubic Hair on Guys?
In adult mags for women, men are completely shaven. Do women find it sexy and prefer this?
While it’s safe to say that tastes and preferences vary from one woman to the next, a female reader might have given many men the best incentive to go bare.
I’m a fan of shaved also. Less hair more head!!
Personally, I prefer shaved.
I am personally not a fan of being completely shaved, but trimming and keeping your space clear only benefits you in the long run. As a woman, the thought of getting a mouthful of hair is completely disgusting and will definitely turn me off from certain sexual acts. Just my opinion 🙂
I like to be able to see the full length of the penis and it’s hard to see, pun intended, if there is a jungle down there. It doesn’t have to be shaved bald but trimmed is good. That’s just my opinion. 😉
Every woman is different. What I would do is trim it short, but not shave it all the way. Its a good balance and sends a message that you care about your appearance.
You can also ask for her preference. Some do like overly hairy guys, some like clean shaven. But try trimming. Basically giving you that feeling that you still have hair.
And just in case you’re curious to know how other dudes go about manscaping down there, some men also weighed in on the topic.
Well, completely shaven looks a bit pre pubescent.. I don’t know if chicks like that. The upside is that it makes my tools look much bigger! However trimmed closely is best, can’t go wrong with that!
Hey man, shave it all off. Just think what a great blow job she will give you. If you ass is very hairy get that waxed she will love rimming you. Girls just love not getting hairs in their mouth. It does not make you gay to excite your female partner.
I keep most of it trimmed. But the boys are shaved clean. Seems to be appreciated.
So now that you have a better idea what reasons are on women’s minds when it comes the sex appeal of a guy going completely bare or a guy who’s more of a simple pubic trimmer; removing pubic hair can be a slippery or a prickly slope. We have some suggestions on the best tools for removing male body hair from any area hair grows.
If you’re scared of removing all your pubic hair, trimming neatly is a more sensible option (and one that is also appreciated).

When cleaning up your nethers, it’s crucial to have the right tools on hand. So let’s jump into some of our favorite products for below-the-belt grooming.
The Best Men’s Grooming Products for Shaving Pubic Hair
Bevel Shave Priming Oil
Get your nether-region properly prepped for a shaving session by using a priming oil like this one. It helps soften hair while retaining moisture in your skin, two things that make it that much easier to glide your razor over some of your most sensitive parts. Once you try it, it’s bound to become your pre-shave ritual for life.
Gillette Styler
For you first timers, trimming and then finishing up with a razor can make the job much more manageable and less painful. Use a razor specifically designed to handle this sensitive terrain, like this all-purpose styler. It has a trimmer to take hair down, and its trusted Fusion ProGlide Razor boasts five blades and a lubricated strip for an easy glide. Add to that the non-slip ergonomic handle and you have yourself the best a man can get… down there.
Cremo Original Shaving Cream
You may be completely hairless below the waist, but she’s not going to be feeling you if your downtown area is covered in shaving bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation. If razor burn is a concern, this lubricating shave cream made with aloe and macadamia seed oil should help you achieve smoother, bump-free results. It’s a thin, concentrated formulation (not a puffy foam) that sits on your skin and allows you to see what you’re doing. Remember, fewer passes with the razor results in less friction and redness. Nobody wants to nick or cut the family jewels. And if that isn’t all the reason you need, it won’t clog your razor either
Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 3500
You can shave or trim, wet or dry with this handy body groomer with an ergonomic grip.

Its blades have rounded tips for better gliding, and it comes with three guards to choose your preferred length.

If you’re a jock, shaving your whole body can increase your athletic performance. It can also keep you smelling fresher, especially when you keep the boys dry with a few pats of this talc-free body powder. It absorbs moisture to prevent friction and irritation all day long (no matter how sweaty you get), and it won’t clump up either.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
We can’t say it enough: manscaping your balls means taking the utmost care to not slice your most sensitive bits. But, just in case you do, you’ll want to keep some of this healing ointment on hand to slather on any minor nicks. Then, keep it covered and far away from any more razors for at least another week. Ya gotta let the boys heal.
