Should a man trim his pubic hair?

"Why don't you trim your pubes?" asks boyfriend number 3 on a recent visit.

I'm standing completely naked in his bedroom, having just taken all my kit off, and I'm being criticised for having untidy pubic hair downstairs! But I know that he's got my best interests at heart, bless him :-).

"You look pretty good," he says, noticing my defensive body language, "but you'd look even better if you just got your pubic hair trimmed a bit :-)."

In fact, this subject came up last year in comments to one of my postings. In my experience, quite a few gay guys do keep themselves tidy down there, especially Asian gay guys for some reason. In any case, having thought about it relatively recently, I know what to say.

"Don't you think it's more masculine not to worry about it, and just let nature take it's course?" I reply. "Surely real men don't worry about such things!"

"Ooooh," says boyfriend number 3, "I love it when you come over all butch like that!"

"If you want, I could do it for your?" he continues. "I've got a hair trimmer next door."

Actually, I quite like getting my boyfriends to look after me like this. Everyone has different areas of expertise, and getting advice from close friends who know more about something than you do is always sensible.

"But I can't help worrying about what boyfriend number 1 will say," I reply. "Is it really that important?"

"Just tell him that I'd tied you up for a bit of bondage fun and so you didn't have any choice!" he replies grinning.

I'm still standing naked in front of him and I'm starting to get cold, so a decision is needed. And I decide to let boyfriend number 3 have his wicked way with my pubic hair! We head into his bathroom and he fits his trimmer with a relatively coarse attachment so that it won't shave too close, and soon he's kneeling down in front of me.

Buzz - Buzz - Buzz ...

"Can't you keep that thing down?" he laughs, "it's getting in the way!"

But five minutes later and it's all over.

"There," he says with a satisfied tone in his voice, running his hand through what's left of my pubes to get out any stray cut hairs. "That's much better isn't it?"

"Actually it feels a bit itchy."

And it carried on feeling itchy for about two weeks or more :-(.

Anyway, if any guys who know me spot me in the gym showers, do take a peek at my new haircut. And if you think it looks too neat and feminine, blame boyfriend number 3!
