The results of our 2013 Manscaping Guide ranked the shaft, pubes and balls as the top three areas to shave, trim or maintain in some way or another. You’ll notice that, in a lot of cases, even the hairiest guys on Manhunt or gay porn sites have perfectly smooth sacks. It’s become a common courtesy to keep this area under control for oral purposes. A universally acknowledged truth of sorts.
Yet it’s also a pain in the ass.
I’m not one to complain about picking hairs out of my teeth, so I don’t understand the obsession with slickly shaven nuts… That said, I know plenty of guys who insist it’s a prerequisite for gay sex, and there was one particular circumstance where I was openly laughed at for having some fuzz down there.
What are your thoughts? Do you shave your balls? Do you expect your partners to? If so, is it for aesthetic or functional purposes, or some combination of both factors? Let’s have a roundtable discussion about your scrotum. (Pictures are encouraged.)

Yes shaved balls are a must! At least for my balls. The sense of touch down there feels so much better than having the hair in the way.
I actually don’t like it when guys shave any of that area. It’s not that I like hair, per se, but rather that I don’t like how it all looks shaved. Rather, I like everything properly trimmed.
Shaved is a definite must! I don’t like weeds in my yard and definitely don’t want them in the playground.
I also prefer smooth men over hairy…
Love fur but, I love a nicely trimmed bush and a shaved sack and shaft for both myself and my partner in the sack!
I like!
I strongly prefer guys to have naturally hairy pubic hair, and around their cock shaft, balls, and between their legs. Which is why I now ‘collect’ Vintage pics of guys who were mostly naturally hairy down there. This current ‘fashion’ to shave and trim down there is just that, a passing fashion, which started from porn-stars wanting their dicks to look bigger with an absence of pubic hair. I suppose I can see some merit in trimming pubic hair, but shaving or waxing it all off looks so revolting, rather like they want to look pre-pubescent, which is something I just can’t understand. I know it’s all a matter of personal taste, so I’m just saying what I like.
Totally agree with you!

this guy. UGH. marry me? LOL
Have shaved for several years – and it just feels better and frankly the way my sack looked unshaven was kinda scary – very unruly nut sack hair – made it look like a grandpa’s sack, and I am not that old…
Love the feelings of my balls being hairless 🙂 and i think it looks better too
geez. i like hair. am i a freak?
I like hairy balls and cock..not into the shaved look kinda creeps me out reminds me of boys and thats just not my scene..Just a preference
Smoother the better!!! No pubic hair !!!!!!!
must say I prefer smooth balls and shaft and trimmed bush. I’m very hairy down there and for me keeping things tidied up just looks better. Not saying go the bare route, but just a good trimming looks better I think. Prefer men with a naturally hairy look.
I prefer some pubes, but I prefer that that balls are shaved (or at least trimmed). I had a pube in the back of my throat for 2 or 3 days no matter how much I gargled…and I love to get a nice sack of nut swished around in my mouth.
I shave my balls and shaft and keep my pubes trimmed. I like the feel of a rough tongue on my smooth balls!
I like the feeling of my balls being smooth but I’m not obsessive about it. I don’t really care if the other guy is smooth or hairy although certain hair textures gross me out. Hey, you asked.
Once you get a gum absess from a pubic hair, than you might appreciate a man that manscapes.
I trim just to keep it looking neater than the underbrush that would otherwise exist. I trim the hair on my head, why not crotch? I’ve also shaved clean. I think it feels better and more sensitive for my own scrotum. I usually keep trim in winter, and shorn in summer. No hate against those who don’t. To each their own.
Personally find shaved nuts, cock, etc. to be quite prickly and not that much fun to play with – at all. Nothing quite like having bleeding lips from going down on a prickly spear. I much prefer the soft and natural look (yeah, I love men with fur!) Love hairy chests – too! The shaved look may work for some – but…….I’d much rather put my face in someone’s natural bush – instead of someone’s cactus patch. Just saying
nothing like a silkly shaven sack for all kinds of fun. If you don’t shave your boys, you are missing a treat.
Don’t shave the nuts. A stray pube is just an occupational hazard.
i prefer everything natural whether it be smooth or hairy but if you are hairy dont shave it leave it alone.
leave everything hairy
as far as hair on the balls (and shaft) go, these three conditions should be met:
1.) they’re not long enough to be able to get snagged in my teeth
1a.) they’re not dense to the point where i can’t even see the scrotum
2.) they’re not sharp enough to poke holes anywhere in my skin
besides these limitations, i believe no other holds are barred.
tommy is freaking pretty.
plus he has the kind of sack which fits that classic description of being one that is “full of pent-up cum.”
maybe he just has naturally-larger testes, regardless of how much baby batter they might contain of a given moment…but i can always dream, anyway.
I shave my cock & balls. Prefer their being smooth & not leaving pubes in partner’s mouth .
i’m all about trimming and then shaving my balls and shaft. I just feel cleaner when i do it. makes me feel more comfortable in the moment.
I dont, only trim my pubes, dont really like that area with no pubes, i believe its a manly thing, can be very hot too.
I dont expect the guys i meet to be perfectly shaved, as long as its no big bush, trimmed is better!
Totally agree, i know of an older man 60+ (dont worry i dont get sexual with him, ewww) and he has like 4 or 5″ and he shaves it all off and when we go swimming nude at his pool at his place he is always naked and its just a horrible look, its almost as if he wnts to be a child again, shaving/waxing it all off does help u enhance your size but trimming looks better and if u still have some left u may get more guys, rarely find guys that like going down or bottoming for guys with a prickly bush area cause they shaved it, its not a nice sensation
I think it’s the dumbest thing in the world……we are men, we are hairy, leave it the fuck alone. For god’s sake….some of us have enough to shave with our faces….It’s getting out of hand. Most guys look like a pre-pubecent 8 year old. And there is nothing more disgusting than to see a man over 40 shaved clean. It’s gross, it’s digusting and I’d love to lynch the idiot who thought this was the wave of the future. MEN, LEAVE YOUR BODY HAIR ALONE. I want to sleep with a man, not a little boy, or, in some cases, a girl!
Why is it gross for older men to be sexual? Don’t be ageist. 🙁
I shave…it is a bother but worth it
Although it has become more the fashion that guys shave their nuts, its much more important that guys take care of other areas of hygiene. Take for instance you have a date with a hot guy, he is built, awesome face, beautiful cock…..you do dinner then you begin to relax at home with each other and one thing leads to another and you are both naked!
Ok, great stuff right? Now you move in for a kiss…..his breath is so bad that it turns your stomach, not coffe or wine or beer breath, just plain old bad breath. Its common knowledge that if you dont take care of your teeth, you will have bad breath….a dentist perhaps? How can you possibly continue or manage to keep a boner when you cant even get close enough to be intimate? DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! The date and the hookup end right there for me.
Scenario two, so you are really into this guy, he is hot. You are both getting naked and as he begins to take his clothes off, you recognize a somewhat familiar smell, although not one that serves good memory…..his body smells, smells, not some sweat, not some pit smell, how about some ass smell, like no shower for a few days smell. Then he wants you to rim him, fat chance pal….see ya later. Or all seems ok till he slides his undies down and it smells like the most foul sour odor that you ever encountered, and you want me to suck your cock? Go shower with pure alcohol and then scrub for a day or two, you might get a chance……
Guys, how can we worry about ball hair and pubic hair when we need to deal with being SHOWER clean before we might expect to have a close encounter? It is so important to be clean, clean, clean, shower clean, soap smell, maybe a hint of nice cologne. In time when we accustomed to each others smells, then the gloves come off and we cah have some au naturel fun…albeit not to long from a shower.
My God guys who in hell wants to smell an ass that smells like poop, or cock and balls that smell sour and so fucking rank, they belong in a zoo. Its just not healthy!!!!!!
Shave ’em if you got ’em got guys………….otherwise keep ’em, clean
I agree older men should be able to have all the dirty kinky sex they wanna have. I just dont like it when an older man agressivly comes on to me even though I have told him no thanks.
Shaved balls…OK, but shaved pubes…Never. Where’s the joy in looking like you’ve just been operated on? We’re gay because we like men..right? Not some plucked chicken skin for me!
I like the smooth body look but dont really like the shaved balls and pubes i find its too rough and it hurts when I am down there doing my thing. its the same thing when u kis a guy thats shaved the stubble hurts after some hard core making out lol
Yeah, being older it just looks gross…..Leave it alone
no you are not a freak….I love ALL body hair.
vintage pics are the best by far….natural, real men with body hair…THE WAY MEN WERE MENT TO BE. And it don’t make their dicks look bigger, just makes them hairless like a chick. Disgusting
I do prefer mine to be nicely trimmed… not fully shaved though… thoughts? 😛
FAGS SHAVE! FAGS TRIM ! FAGGOTS EMASCULATE THEMSELVES shaving trimming their masculinity like a BITCH ! this men evolving into women is so gross just get the vaginas on all of them ! and the few the proud the rest of us masculine men can get together and be real homosexuals MEN ON REAL MEN ! what a gross disgusting society this has becum . no one has any morals or masculinity just sickening ! ! ! ! women are much more attractive ! than a shaved man pretending to be a man,and believe me i like men …WITH NATURAL FUR

I just prefer to shave my SHAFT only makes for smoother pounding action but I like my hairy balls and pubes so I trim out of comfort more than aesthetics
i prefer natural, but groomed………..the NO hair is all a porn driven grooming habit.
Wow, what vitriol. You do remember your basic biology that we’re ALL female in the womb until hormones kick in, right? So why the hateful, mysoganistic crap?
Yummy
perfect cut, clean balls and slight bush. Love it better than the complete shave
I like guys to be natural, with hair where there should be hair. Trimmed is ok, but not like you have to search to see and feel hair.
Do not shave or trim anything but the face. Men were meant to have body hair and it is very sexual. Can’t get too hairy for me including a tasty hairy ass.
You might be correct, but it has been shown repeatedly that immature self-loathing assholes who are insecure about their own questionable masculinity often resort to misogyny, namecalling, and intolerance toward others as their only means of providing a false sense of self importance while ironically deluding themselves into believing that they are not exactly that which they are attacking.
totally shaved crotch can be creepy on some guys, but also an acceptable look on others
but shaved balls is an absolute must = it’s a huge turn off to get with hairy balls, and i keep mine very regularly shaved
Didn’t Andrew Dice Clay set the ground rules …Mary Mary quite contrary shave that bush its so god Dam hairy. shaved balls makes that area so much more sensitive and pleasurable especially when your partner has your balsack in his mouth. shaving also keeps that area more hygenic as hair retains odor I don’t want to have sex with Cro Magnum Man!
Luv some hair on nuts around hole
… When you’re real sensitive, half way to blowing, sure feels good on tongue and lips in heightened
Arousal!
Shaving the shaft and balls makes everything look bigger and feel better, which is why I shave them. I like the look on my guy as well. I do not shave my bush and don’t like that look on other guys either. Definitely not into shaved assholes either.
yummy i love that id love to taste u
nice cock
I personally trim but still have a lot of hair I love hair on my men a trim bush is great leave ur balls alone and ur hole please lol
stop beating arounf the bush and tell us how you really feel…
I like shaved balls, but more for practical rather than aesthetic reasons. Fishing pubes out of your mouth after you’ve sucked on a guy’s balls isn’t really fun.
The sensations are better,,,,,,,and so sensual……smooth all over is amazingly sexy….
LOL, LOL, Smooth STIFF STICK and BALLS….and all over….
I get the whole “keep it natural” thing, I do. Still, I shave my balls, and shaft hairs, but leave my bush natural. I usually remove the taint and ass crack hair,not all the time though, the great thing about living in the modern era is that there are options. I definitely prefer having no hair around my hole if I’m planning on getting fucked alot cuz…y’know, folliculitis can happen.
Since I love to suck on a nut sack, I prefer them to be hairless.
i began shaving my entire body a few years ago because i thought my bf would like it, turned out he didnt care either way, but i continued for a while becasue i liked it. now i want to let at least pubic hair grow back, and instead keep it trimmed, but every time i try i end up getting exrememly itchy down there and a rash from scratching the itch so much, and i end up shaving again. it sucks.
Unless its a jungle down there I prefer guys natural. I don’t like the hairless look. I am proud of my body hair. I am from the era where hair was in. I do trim pubes because they can get really long and out of control – seriously. Pubes caught in zippers is not fun.
Very Nicely done! Winks!!!
I’m 21 and my balls are naturally smooth. I never shaved them.
thank you!
-_- I must be stupid (or secretly intensely interested in this, which is probably the case). I just told myself not click “context” anymore and yet here I am on the other side of discussion about shaving (I’m more for functional trimming than shaving) and I can’t figure out how.
look on the bright side: these are … “Gay” Mens’ Issues, that even people like anni and sparky have to confront — i imagine sparky would be a little “unruly” down there, whereäs anni’s frank’n’beans are as refined as the rest of him.
heh.
don’t feel too badly about it: i’ve sometimes veered off into the feminine side of the personal hygiene discussion.
(and i’d dared not avert mine eyes, m’Lady.)
‘omg you have balll hair? hahahaha, what are you, a barbarian?’
:Dewitt proceeds to fuck man he laughed at him like a neanderthal, grunting included:
I’m hoping that’s how that situation played out.
also i LOVE my balls after i trim/shave them but it’s not worth the constant upkeep.
Humph. Anni’s prolly got patterns in his crotch bushes, the swanky bastard. Still I stand my ground. Lady and man bushes should be clean and trim but present. I get weirded out when grown folk look like they haven’t grown hair yet. *shivers*
I could suck on those globes for hours before letting you spray your load down my throat
To me he is really a beautiful perfect fuckable man.
totally agreed… so disappointing with these hot guys with low personal hygiene
you r so fuckin right aout the feeing f having ursaved nuts touched n sucked its awesome with no hair onur nut sac
yeah iont knowy tink its so gross for anoderguy to be sexual. i have been with lt of younger guys, an thy like an oldr guy for sex, an older guy has more exerience, and can hold hiscum longer n not shoot in a minute lo
just wait till those ys get older n see whatthey thnk thn
I agree that shaveing/triming is very good taste. especially balls shaft and anal hole definitly much more sensative to the tongue
For sex to be pleasurable most of the time, shaved or trimmed balls, taint, and asshole are a must…my face tends to spend a lot of time down there on my guy, and when it’s bushy, no matter how much you shower, it just gets that funky smell and taste…with that said, hair everywhere else on a man is crazy sexy, I would never shave or trim any other parts of my body!
