In the summer I almost always go without. The only down side with my age now is making sure all the drips are out after the restroom. LOL If you are over 50 you get it.
Personally I get waxed every 6 weeks and have been for almost 20 years. It's not as painful as you might think if you have a really good esthetician. I found a woman that is really good at it and have been seeing her exclusively for about 10 years. I have my balls, shaft, tween, butthole and buttcheeks waxed.
