My advice:
1. Always keep the balls shaved smooth no matter what.
2. As for the pubes go for trimmed very short or completely shaved. <-- this is the current modern pube trend.
3. The women who enjoy 'au natural' are definitely going to be in the minority on this, unless you are not very hairy in general. Some level of manscaping is always required.
4. If in doubt, ask your partner what she'd prefer. If your girlfriend likes it 'fluffy', then keep it that way. She's the one you want to please on this one, so it's her preference that really matters. Maybe try something different and see if she likes it. If not, you can always grow it back.
I'm with DancingDoll balls shaved and trimmed is my preference as well, but defenitely ask your partner!!
Dancing Doll is spot on with her answer. Bald balls and a tght trim is the way to roll.
I only shaved once and the after effects of itching etc were so unpleasant I have never done it since. Also I think anyone's body maintenance is to do with them personally and not up to the dictates of fashion (which I find particularly stupid eg at one time women threw water on their underskirts to make them cling to their bodies before going out for the evening - in the winter; and currently women and men in some parts of the UK go out in winter in summer clothing and swim wear) or the opinion of their partner. Personally I think that having sex with a woman with no pubic hair is akin to having sex with a ten year old but that's just me. Also made me wonder how you go about having a "fashion" re pubic hair. I mean clothing - ok they design and advertise it but pubes - never seen any of the well known razor companies promoting this on tv might start watching it again if they did. "New smoothie Gillette guaranteed not to emasculate with its new testicular guard rail and multi- circular blades with anti-hair jam safety switch. "
Of course there are trends, but there is no point in doing anything because of them (not that I'm suggesting DD was implying this)....do what you want to do or, if you're not fussed, see what your partner prefers and go from there.
I cannot stand the shaved look on guys, the cock begins to resemble an elephant trunk....it's just weird. I go for trimmed, neat and tidy on guys personally.
But it's always most important to do what you want!
This thread (and DD's reply) should be training material for men. I have trimmed and maintained myself exactly as DD preferred (strickly coincidental) for years and have not itched as Jack_42 since the first time despite living in hot humid locations.
I thought about shaving my pubes once but remembered that I am one of the hairiest men alive and thought it would look really stupid bald. So I just neatly trim instead. Sometimes the options are limited for a reason.zTEiz2UiiMOVE1Sp
Whichever makes you comfortable. It is your body to be completely confident in.
(Although a trim is real nice).
I kind of like a guy to be a bit hairy down there. But shave, don't shave, eh, doesn't matter to me. I keep myself completely smooth though.
