My partner likes my balls smooth but she prefers my pubs to be trimmed short and feeling bristly. Seems to get a great deal of pleasure from that.
After years of maintaining /trimming my pubes short, the hair is soft and smooth. The hair on my cock goes all the way up the shaft, so I started to shave that. Ingrown hairs were the problem until I started using a manscaper type of trimmer. Wife never did like pulling pubes out of her mouth. Makes my cock look bigger too. Short and Neat is the way to go.
I used to always trim or fully shave my entire pubic region, as well as my ass and ass crack (though I don't have a lot of hair on my ass thank God), whenever I headed out to have sex with other guys, or them come to my place, because I like my men that way too. But the more gay I've become, the more I am fine with hair on other guys (just not too hairy). In fact, the more gay I've become, the more I'm hanging out socially with other gay men, and a close gay friend of mine says that for the most part gay men go au naturale. Perhaps it's a bisexual (and heterosexual) thing then to trim and shave? But I've been with fully homosexual men that shave or trim. But I do have to say, I still prefer my men (and my women back when I was having sex with women) trimmed or shaved. And to tell you the truth, I'm not crazy about having too much hair on myself either, even when I'm not having sex with other guys (I don't get out enough ... man, do I ever not get out enough!).
