Try just trimming them with clippers. This is what I tell any women I date if they comment on shaving/waxing. I don't care about hair, but it is nice for it to be short. They seem to be cool with the trimmed look, and several have switched their own junk to trimmed while we were dating.

[–]DoctorArcane 16 points17 points ago

Be very careful with clippers on your balls. Just.. trust me.

[–]purifico 4 points5 points ago

[–]biteableniles 13 points14 points ago

There will be blood

[–]KnightsWhoSayNii 5 points6 points ago

And semen.

[–]blyan 2 points3 points ago

No but for real. You will bleed and it will go everywhere. 0/10 would not recommend ever.

[–]DoctorArcane 0 points1 point ago

Yeah especially before a date. I was like OMFG WHAT IF THIS GOES WELL AND MY BALLS START BLEEDING EVERYWHERE.

[–]blyan 2 points3 points ago

I think that would be the first time you'd ever hear "Went on a date; thank god I didn't get laid" haha

[–]fantastic_weasel 0 points1 point ago

I wish someone would have told me that. Sometimes you've got to learn the hard way.

[–]throwmeawayout 0 points1 point ago

Indeed. I recommend the shortest guard you can get.

[–]BeerBeer6969420420 1 point2 points ago

Never shave the taint, never

[–]damndudewtf 1 point2 points ago

That's what Nair is for.

[–]ICANSEEYOUFAPPING 10 points11 points ago

Yes dear god, at least trim. My ex's pubes were unbearable.

[–]buffandshine 10 points11 points ago

STOP LOOKING AT ME!

[–]blyan 0 points1 point ago

Do not tell guys to do this. Unless you have a guard on your trimmer or have surgeon-like precision and steadiness, you're gonna have a real bad fuckin time.

[–]throwmeawayout 0 points1 point ago

I guess I have surgeon like precision. I also use a guard in the more dangerous areas. They make one that will leave around 1/4" of hair while protecting your sensitive bits from danger.

[–]blyan 0 points1 point ago

Good to know. Why not just use a razor and shave completely in that case though? (asking seriously)

[–]throwmeawayout 1 point2 points ago

1/4 hair seems to cause no chafing, discomfort, itchiness, ingrown hairs, etc. You can enjoy all of the above if you shave your junk with a razor.

[–]blyan 0 points1 point ago

But ... well, okay you have a point. But for the first few days after you shave completely is the best feeling ever.

But yeah then it starts to get horrendously uncomfortable.

[–]throwmeawayout 1 point2 points ago

You kinda get to skip that horrendously uncomfortable stage when you just trim.

It's also the same as the difference between shaving your head with a razor or buzzing it with clippers. Trying to keep it shaved is super high maintenance, and can actually get expensive.

    A lot of women feel the same way. Well, uh, minus the balls.

    [–]aequitas3 3 points4 points ago

    still keeping the very base of the shaft though?>

    [–]FlyingPasta 3 points4 points ago

    Now how to find out if our women feel the same way...

    [–]kotszak 86 points87 points ago

    Is shaving your balls a thing in America? I just trim them. No fucking way that ill put a razor on my balls.

    No fucking way.

    NO.

    [–]tastethelink 67 points68 points ago

    I personally don't do it because it would create a random deforested section of the Amazonian overgrowth that is the rest of my body.

    [–]RooftopBBQ 21 points22 points ago

      As a female who likes to put balls in my mouth, I don't understand this aversion to smooth balls.

      [–]alpacafox 21 points22 points ago

      Nice try random internet dude pretending to be a female, who likes to put shaved balls in her mouth.

      [–]therumbox 5 points6 points ago

      I can confirm this actually (also female that enjoys smooth balls during facial interactions)

      [–]ben120 7 points8 points ago

      I would think this is it, I don't put balls in my mouth but if a girl wants my tongue to go to town down there then shaving isn't strictly necessary, only cleanliness but what is the possible attraction of having a face and mouthful of pubic hair?

      Also, skin feels smoother without hair, and that is never a bad thing. :/

      [–]Nemo7123 1 point2 points ago

      Ya, fair enough. I'll let my husband know if he wants to risk slicing his balls open (shudder) I would appreciate the lessen risk of pubic hair caught in throat

      [–]prrifth 9 points10 points ago

      Shaving is safe.

      source: I keep my balls smooth shaven

      [–]ben120 0 points1 point ago

      I would like to believe that the way these things work to do with people getting more of what they want is that they feel good, doing what their partner feels is good because then their partner is going to be more inclined to do whatever it is therefore they will get more out of it.

      I kinda see it as an agreed upon manipulation agreement of sorts, making you happy makes me happy and vice versa, in addition you been happy and me been happy means more tendency to be in the mood to do sexy/loving things. Which just increases happiness and love and feedbacks in again to this again.

      Or to be more concise, making an active more appealing or less unappealing will increase the tendency of a person to be in the mood to do that activity happily.

      [–]purifico 5 points6 points ago

      As a female who does the same I don't give a fuck about hair.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

      I guess I just don't enjoy hair in my mouth.

      [–]sourcreamjunkie 1 point2 points ago

      As the hair on your balls, I don't either

      [–]Elliott2 1 point2 points ago

      so you prefer long pubes or short prickly hairs in your mouth to none? Also, Its much more comfortable now and I don't like it growing.

      [–]haleted 16 points17 points ago

      Honestly, it makes it smell less like sweat down there, plus if you're putting his balls in your mouth, it's really nice when there is not hair getting stuck in your teeth/whatnot.

      [–]DarkBlaine 0 points1 point ago

      Not sure why I'd want to put someone's balls in my mouth in the first place.

      [–]haleted -1 points0 points ago

      unless a lesbian, i am sure this is somehow relevant to you, and if a lesbian, there are other parts that go in your mouth/you put in people's mouths.

      [–]potatoed_anus 3 points4 points ago

      It's actually very safe. Been shaving with razor down there for 10 years+ and never so much as a nick

      [–]TheClayroo 3 points4 points ago

      Canadian here, only trim.

      [–]lucidqueef 0 points1 point ago

      Don't worry, pubes can't get offended.

      [–]BlindBoy 6 points7 points ago

      Not in my part of America. You get laughed at for doing so.

      [–]orange_kevin 3 points4 points ago

      I think America is the only country in the world where shaved balls are a 'thing.' Here in the UK you'll get laughed into next month if you have no ball hair, the amount of 'haven't hit puberty yet?!' jokes that would be thrown in your direction would be enough to put hair on your balls.

      [–]haleted 7 points8 points ago

      note to self: never go down on anyone who is not from america.

      [–]orange_kevin 2 points3 points ago

      We also have foreskins.

      [–]FagMouth 2 points3 points ago

      These two facts are why I love men from abroad!

      [–]orange_kevin 0 points1 point ago

      Haha well, foreigners are always a bit exciting! I know it sounds slightly hypocritical, but I keep mine trim - its not shaven off to the skin, but its not so long that it gets caught in teeth. Add to this more hypocrisy from myself in the fact that I go nuts for shaven women, or at least trimmed.

        Who honestly cares enough about your ball hair to joke about it to the extent that you imply?

        [–]orange_kevin 0 points1 point ago

        Northern England. Enough said, really. I live in an old mining town, if you don't keep up with the 'humour' of these parts, you better pack your bags and leave. It's a rough existence.

        [–]Unethical_Panda 11 points12 points ago

        my guess, the south

        [–]BlindBoy 1 point2 points ago

        Wrong. Northern Midwest. Mainly the Appalachia region. Here, lumberjack beards and Carhartts are common sights. We have the more rugged types here, as the coal mines and logging companies employ a lot of people.

        [–]madebyjapan 4 points5 points ago

        I have done it before...surprisingly amount of blood...

        [–]Piotr555 1 point2 points ago

        Did you shave with a 2x4?

        [–]freakflagflies 2 points3 points ago

        Yeah, fuck that. That would require some serious skin stretching.

        [–]dusty071 3 points4 points ago

        it doesnt, suprisingly. but it is preferable to do it in a warm environment

        [–]goodadvice00 2 points3 points ago

        I shave my balls. I used to think that too. As a teenager I had a good friend who admittedly shaved his balls and that was my exact reaction. One day I decided to try many years ago. Its actually really easy, I have never cut myself, and honestly I do it more carelessly than shaving my face. Maybe I just have super balls, but you should try it, you wont cut yourself.

        [–]blyan 1 point2 points ago

        Weirdly appropriate username.

        [–]BlindBoy 1 point2 points ago

        In northern United States (excluding highly populated cities), inappropriate username. You'll get laughed at so much for shaving like that.

        [–]poteaser 0 points1 point ago

        I believe in a little housekeeping, but I'm with you. I would never shave smooth. It's difficult enough using an electric razor with a guard on it.

        [–]elzorroloco -1 points0 points ago

        It's really not that big of a deal. Idk why people act like it's so difficult; I've been doing it for years and have never even nicked the skin.

        [–]askludaiosuz -4 points-3 points ago

        It's not that bad. If you can pull your skin enough to get a good shave you'll be a-okay and still have a sack.

        Unless you're not manly enough to properly use a razor. In which case you really should just chop your balls off.

        [–]iliasasdf 11 points12 points ago

        Overly manly man is shaving his balls huh?

        Manly enough? You're the one who is shaving your balls.

        Are they soft now? Do they feel like baby skin?

            If you normally shave your balls, then you just did what's normal. If you don't usually do it, and you did it because you thought you might get lucky, you're a moron. Don't do it for other people. One of the best things I was ever told after being apart from my ex for a long time was something along the lines of. "You're beard is always so nice." Don't just shave it for them. Shave it for yourself. That goes along with everywhere anyone might shave. You never know what will happen in a day.

            [–]HeyOP 2 points3 points ago

            I agree, but there's a middle ground you didn't address. I prefer my junk trimmed... but I hate doing it. So, much like my facial hair or the hair up top, I will often let it grow out beyond what I'm truly comfortable with. If you're going on a date, it pays to be comfortable and confident. So I might shave my face and/or trim my facial hair, get a haircut and trim my junk hair so it isn't on my mind at all, just like I'd eat beforehand if food wasn't in the plan.

            [–]cumfarts 0 points1 point ago

            Wash your balls with hair conditioner in the shower, it doesn't solve the problem completely but it neutralizes some of the itch.

            [–]cwnc2008 13 points14 points ago

            This is why you don't shave your balls, you use a trimmer.

            Use a trimmer. Keep your ball hair short. I couldn't imagine having balls like a baby's bottom.

            [–]Thalleus 23 points24 points ago

            As a ball shaver I can attest to this. One of my exGF's caught me one day playing with my freshly shaved ball sack. All I could say was, "batwing."

            Is this really a problem? I'm not looking down on your post, but actually bewildered as a male, I have never seen another mans genitalia, nor do I want my inbox spammed with links. But as a guy with Alopecia universalis... I've never had to deal with hair.... anywhere, whats it like?

            [–]barpidone 36 points37 points ago

            Most body hair isn't too bad. Back hair kinda sucks, especially if it gets caught on a shirt and pinches. Ball hair is actually comforting in it's own way, since it makes a nice warm nest out of your crotch. Holds that sweaty nut-stink, though, and it's equally pleasant getting rid of it.

            Hellfire and damnation unto you for never having to deal with the tangled mess of mosquito netting that is ass-hair, though. At some point in my lineage, genetics was cruelly tricked into accepting a newcomer gene that directs a woodland masterpiece into forming in the crack of my backside and, though I haven't caught any, I suspect a breed of spider resides there specifically to weave the hairs into a shit-catching web from which nothing can escape. The only treatment is careful consideration with a razor, like an Amazon explorer cutting his way through a jungle to the Lost Temple of Butthole.

            If you are a real man you would suck it up and use Nair. It will hurt like a bitch and leave you raw for a day or two, but then you can just wipe the hair out of your ass. Also, the spider is Trichonis Rectaloides

            [–]askludaiosuz 13 points14 points ago

            This is legitimate bad advice. Don't use nair on your nether bits.

            Eh, I know how annoying it is to stay trim/shaved down there. I'm so relaxed with hair, I wouldn't ASK a guy to shave or trim if they don't want to.

            So, in all honesty, I shouldn't say I PREFER hairy, I really just don't mind it.

            I shave my balls because i love the fresh feeling that i get :D I hate not shaving because it makes me feel dirty :P And honestly, it's not all that hard once you get over your fear of cutting your own balls open :3

            This may interest you.

            I am not trolling, it's a good product. And don't let the names fool you, the difference is mostly scent, and one of them has no scent if you don't want perfumed testicles.

            Thanks :) I've heard about this before and many claimed that it works wonders. I'll get around to buying it when i have some extra money in my pocket.

            [–]I_Am_The_Mole 7 points8 points ago

            Getting your balls licked/sucked when they're shaved smooth is infinitely more pleasurable than when they are stubbly or have a short coat of hair on them.

            The only downside for me to shaving my balls is if I don't keep up with it and get those scratchy five'o'clock genitals my wife doesn't wanna fuck.

            Feels especially nice when she's shaved completely smooth as well.

            [–]My_Pswd_Is_TanButts 2 points3 points ago

            That was one of my better laughs I have had in a while

            [–]Askeladden 0 points1 point ago

            Look on the bright side, you cans till enjoy having silky smooth balls for a few days. Heaven on earth.

            [–]you_wanker 0 points1 point ago

            I shave mine regardless of whether a woman has asked for it or not, I just prefer how it looks and feels. Never had any problems with a razor going there, no cuts or anything.

            [–]arealtool 0 points1 point ago

            I do not have any problem shaving with a razor as well. Trim first, then bic it. Bout every two/three months. My world is better because of this.

            [–]you_wanker 1 point2 points ago

            Oh I get the razor on mine about once a week. Those pubes of mine are under a brutal and iron-fisted regime.

            [–]ohyoshimi 2 points3 points ago

            I feel the need to point out that Grumpy Cat is in fact a girl.

            [–]typicalchauvinist 0 points1 point ago

            It's not for nothing. Now you have smooth balls.

            [–]ProxyD 4 points5 points ago

            Well why the fuck do you even shave your balls?

            I mean really, few years ago this was a women's problem (not shaving below and going out) and even then it wasn't a problem.

            Now you guys from America are starting to make it a thing there to shave your fucking balls before fucking dates and sooner or later it will come to us Europeans. Well FU!

            [–]haleted 12 points13 points ago

            because it's a lot nicer for the girl when she puts your balls in her mouth.

            source: i am a girl

            Men's balls are hairy& wonderful that way Source: I am a woman

            [–]FagMouth 1 point2 points ago

            People are going to have differing opinions on this. I personally prefer hairy balls.

            Source: I am a fag and like using my mouth.

            [–]blyan -1 points0 points ago

            I am also a fag who also likes using his mouth, and I prefer shaved or at least trimmed. Well... depends on the guy.

            [–]entropy_0 0 points1 point ago

            It's interesting to point out that previous poster referred to herself as girl while you referred to yourself as woman.

            I hate shaving but I trim regularly.

            [–]Firekracker 3 points4 points ago

            Plot twist: It actually came from Europe. Seriously, over here guys are expected to do it for as long as I can think and those who don't provide as laughing stock for both males and females.

            [–]ProxyD 2 points3 points ago

            Well this world is just going crazy... How about armpits? How long till that is expected to go too?

            [–]Firekracker 0 points1 point ago

            ...it is. Im in my early/mid twenties now and ever since I was old enough to care men around me (Germany) have done this. Chest- and backhair too. Basically it's a "no hair below the neck" rule for everyone, save lower arms and legs for guys.

            [–]ProxyD 1 point2 points ago

            Yes, i heard you guys there had a thing for it but didn't knew it went that far. Your neighbours (France) have totaly opposite view on that i belive (or am I wrong there too?). Anyway, I'm glad I'm from Croatia, where as 28' old never even thought of shaving my balls. Still, future looks dim...

            [–]FagMouth 0 points1 point ago

            So, I'm a nudist of sorts. I get naked in public (it's legal in San Francisco). Literally thousands of people have seen me naked and taken pictures with me. I do not trim or shave my pubes. The only people who have ever told me that I should do some manscaping are straight men. Never a woman. Never a gay man. Most of the times people have said it to me, it has been someone I know personally and I can confirm that they are virgins. This isn't to say that nobody expects you to shave, it's just to say that I think straight men think it's a lot more expected than it really is.

            Not nothing! Never FOR NOTHING! There is nothing that compares to the smooth feeling of a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking.

            You are not owed anything for putting in effort to make yourself more sexually appealing than otherwise.

            [–]HeyOP 4 points5 points ago

            He can recognize that he's not owed and still sulk because he didn't get any. It's in the bylaws.

            fair enough

            [–]therumbox 0 points1 point ago

            I love your username. As someone who also studies biology, the general populace makes me sad because they get so much wrong. I'd be frustrated too.

            [–]FireAndSunshine 0 points1 point ago

            How can evolution be true if it doesn't explain where the first cell came from?

            [–]therumbox 0 points1 point ago

            Well, it may actually. The first cell isn't hard to explain, it's the first piece of chemistry that self replicates that's harder to figure out. Cells are just hydrophobic/hydrophillic phospholipids that form orbs when in water and arrange themselves into bubbles to protect the hydrophobic side from water by making sure the hydrophillic side is facing outwards and inwards (the membrane is two phospholipids thick). And then they get stuff in them (basically). But I don't think that's what you're asking.

            The first self replicating piece of chemistry though is harder to figure out, and it goes back to the origin of man's knowledge of heritability. There are sort of two hypothesis they had, either heritability came from the 22 essential animo acids or from DNA, and they thought it was from the amino acids because an alphabet is easier created with 22 letters than 4. Well they eventually figured out it was the DNA that was the true mechanism of hereditary and self replicating information, and so we know today that our search for the origin of life is in DNA, although we know there are amino acids in space because many have been found on meteorites, those are not the key (although they may have played a very important role in the development into more complex life forms).

            We know that the chemistry is pretty likely due to a number of experiments replicating conditions of early earth and being able to create the component parts of DNA, what biologists and scientists don't know right now is how those components came together.

            Currently the hypothesis that is being discussed right now in the science world is that perhaps DNA was not the first self replicating molecule but rather RNA, a single stranded variety of DNA that contains the right codes but unlike DNA actually has the ability to create proteins, which could then create the DNA itself. And then the fact that there may have been alien amino acids floating around probably didn't hurt.

            Anyhow, if you'd like to know more there is lots of scientific literature around and about but that's a simple explanation of what we know so far. The goal of science is not to give up when we don't know something though, but to continue to try and figure things out (which, a lot of the time, we do). We're just at that stage of history where we don't know... yet.

            Anyhow if you were just joking with me that's fine too but it's hard to tell, because the question you asked is something that is very complex and not yet fully understood. The important part is that questions are being asked :)

            [–]FireAndSunshine 0 points1 point ago

            Yeah, I'm aware; I was being sarcastic.

            I hope you didn't use a razor? That shit is gonna itch son.

            Oh please, get over yourself you big sissy. At least you didn't do photo epilation.

            As some one who did photo epilation of my privates i gotta say that the pain is something beyond imaginable. Seriously, it makes waxing feel like a warm summer breeze. You can actually torture people with photo epilation. I shit you not.

            [–]just_another_dreamer -1 points0 points ago

            Hey, have guys ever waxed their balls? I imagine it would hurt like hell but maybe be more effective? Longer wait before hair grows back, smoothness for a month at least?

            [–]therumbox 0 points1 point ago

            Well was it a first date?

            If so, I wouldn't have been surprised. Most people wait until the second or third date to do things that involve balls. Making out on a first date is pretty good.

            [–]bfro21 0 points1 point ago

            Never trimmed, always shaved. Cold showers tighten up that sack... makes it easier to shave 'em.

            [–]MisoPretty 0 points1 point ago

            As a women...I feel your pain. Nothing worst then having tthe " I shaved my (fill in body part here)for this?" Feeling

            [–]LadyLaFee 1 point2 points ago

            I hate that guys shave anything but their face. Men are supposed to be hairy! It's masculine and sexy! It took me a long time to accept that my boyfriend likes to keep himself trimmed downstairs, and it outright saddens me whenever he shaves his chest hair (which after much pleading isn't often anymore). Body hair is sexy on men!

            I git a little carried away, and now my testicles sre cold. I'm not going to shave that much off again. Also, there was shrinkage.

            If I was gearing for my first time with a particular fella and found his balls shaved I'd be a little creeped out.

            That's exactly how I felt after a party I went to on Saturday .

            [–]consiliumz 0 points1 point ago

            to the person that said that you shouldn't remove pubes because they serve a purpose(and that shaved balls smell horrible): they mainly exist to 1)provide 'lubrication'-protection from friction, and 2)retain pheromones...and sweat. Unless you are against wearing comfortable underwear I'm not sure you need protection from friction, and assuming you practice normal hygiene... Shaved balls should smell less than those with pubes. I could be wrong though,

            [–]beowulf804 0 points1 point ago

            Women don't really understand when you tell them "I shaved for you!"

            I love the fresh breeze my balls get when shaven :x If I shave I don't do it for the women. I do it for science.
