That headline has a problem, child. Perhaps they could use a mistress for Christmas?

/end the jack.

oh yeah. +1 for not referencing the new crappy song.

Feels good man.

This is what happens when you take their guns away. What kind of girly-boy would have this done?

sink the pink?

/snort

Melbourne man, did it a few weeks ago, replies, kicks etc...

Personally, I find that its just a fun thing, kinda feels sexy in a way. Add to the fact that a girl I was/am courting mentioned she was about to get hers done, and I figured it'd give us something kinky to talk/flirt about, and yeah... Definitely worth it.

I only do it very infrequently though - I can understand the reasoning behind doing it constantly, but that's not for me.

Real Aussie men spend their days drunk and hairy.

That does it. Line these sissies up against the wall.

I like my butt crack hair

I do it.

Expensive and painful but, good god, my wife was so in the mood for a looooong time.

/ It looks really good if you got muscles.
// not so much if you don't work out.

Uh not sure about this one...I like it trimmed down there (Because hey she'll prefer giving you more BJ's if she can find it) but honestly I like my boyfriends hairy body. He's got a nice amount on...well basically every body part like a man should. He's warm and a hairy, like a big bear.

/Not too sure about all this manscaping

Do it for hygene.

/Y, back and way back
//rubber glove, finger and thumb - be a man and pull it

I've found there is a direct link between not having a bunch of hair that will scratch / tickle the woman in the face and getting head.

As such I keep it tidy down there. Go ahead and hate.

/never had a wax job

Never trust a man who shaves his body hair unless he is an Olympic swimmer or a bodybuilder.

/loves my Sean Connery sweater....

It seems like this would only work well if you're already pretty hairless, otherwise you're just going to look like an animal shaved for surgery.

SJKebab: /I've manned up, who else here will?

Wife took my balls, left the hair.

real shaman: This is what happens when you take their guns away. What kind of girly-boy would have this done?

Quite a few Australians own guns.

"All guys in porno have to shave their balls Joe. It makes the old johnson look bigger."

(hotlink. Couldn't find any Choda Boy photos that wouldn't count as NSFW.)

I keep mine clean, but kinda have to. For whatever reason, hair grows like 2/3 of the way up the shaft. It's disgusting.

This hairless humans trend has got to stop. I miss women having hair down there. I find it uncomfortable to shave the hell out of my own body. I just don't get why being completely hairless became fashionable.

What's next? Shaving off eyebrows? (too late!) Plucking all your eyelashes off? Maybe nipple removal will suddenly become the "in" thing with the younger crowd.

In my day, the pornos were full of people with hair on their bodies, and we LIKED it! We LOVED it!

/What should I expect in a world where people actually bleach their anus?

"...men are now sharing the kind of body-image worries that were once the preserve of women."

Oh well, fair's fair, I guess. I'm partially guilty of that, up to a point. It is interesting that, especially as you move up the socioeconomic strata, the woman's supposed to be thinner and more attractive than the husband. Seeing examples of this - morbidly obese guys with thin, pretty wives - annoys me more than it ought to. Maybe I'm just annoyed that I'm a gymrat & my wife's a couch potato, I dunno.

One thing I should mention is that for men with body hair, the older we get the woolier we get. Hair that's too abundant anywhere in view - forearms, back, eyebrows - just makes one look old. I'll never go to the ridiculous extremes mentioned in the article, but things need to be kept in check lest I look like Andy Rooney or the Earnhart Back Hair guy (whose photo should appear downthread any minute now.) A little extra grooming once in a while can make you look ten years younger.

What? No survey? lol

/Manscapes the boys daily

Have any of you ever seen what happens to testicles in an unfortunate razor blade accident?

Not pretty.

/Didn't happen to me.

The funniest part is that it's varsity sports teams that do this the most. Basketball especially. I lost a lot of respect for jocks when I began hearing them talk every farking day about waxing a few years ago. Vain little egos they've got there. Athletes are the people who are ashamed enough about their bodies they need to spend money on waxing them. That was enough to make me feel good about being a secure skinny nerd.

The moral of the story? The competitiveness of sports is so deep that it destroys self-confidence even when it comes to chest hair. I'd never be so dumb as to send my kid to play team sports. Ever. It makes 20 year olds into crybabies and fools with their money.

Agreed. (Sorry, still can't bring myself to type, "THIS" in response)

Seriously, it's not like no one was gettin' it on a few years ago when men and women were nice and furry down below.

Gross, gross, grossitosis! Absolutely asinine! Shaved pubic hair on a man is so disgusting looking, period. And it does NOT make the penis look bigger. And no sex partner cares about "looking bigger" since anyone who has had sex knows the erection is the only size to work with, and for the most part the erection has way less variation. Buttcrack hair shaving I can understand, but damn the porn industry for shaving male pubic hair and the she-eeps that follow them.

I've never been to Hunkmania.
I thought that was in South Africa not Australia.

Then you'd love asian adult films. Most of their culture consider it bad luck to shave the hair off.


Besides, you don't need to shave, wax or burn the hair off...


You can it.

Because magazine writers need something to write about.

Approves

As thunderstruck as I was by that headline, I couldn't help but notice the deft avoidance of the easy 'down under' pun. Good show.

Front? Whatever. I'm ok with that. But a frakking crack wax? Negative ghostrider.

Someone post that internet anecdote about what happened when some dude tried to shave his crack. Funny.

Kevin72: Gross, gross, grossitosis! Absolutely asinine! Shaved pubic hair on a man is so disgusting looking, period. And it does NOT make the penis look bigger.

Um.

Best way to maximize penis appearance -- and length for that matter -- is to minimize the size of the fat pad at the base. Bodyfat goes everywhere. Below 30 bmi is a recommendation, 25 should be totally fine.

OTOH, fur is tactile both ways. It'll increase sensitivity to the shorn, and it'll change the tactile sensations for the partner.

I had to RTA to find out just Whatinthehell SUBBY was talking about.

All in all, this trend doesn't surprise me, because gradually, over the decades, hairy guys have been increasingly portrayed pretty much as slobs, criminals, disgusting and nasty. Women have been trimming, at least, their pubic hair for ages so guys don't find something resembling a tarantula down there, so it was only a matter of time before men got the hint. I do recall women of a certain 'minority' refusing to shave their leg hair and spotting hairy chicks periodically, but that seems to have changed.

The guy trend of turning their head into a prick with ears -- shaving themselves bald or nealy bald -- IMO sucks big time.

I recall many, many comments about 'fat guys from New Jersey' strolling along beaches wearing Speedo's, smoking cigars and needing their back hair mowed.

Currently, I'm between relationships, but I'd have no problem with shaving the stuff off if my lady liked it better. I've considered shaving it off anyhow since I realized, quite some time back, that more and more porn stars were doing so and that usually indicates a popular trend. Then I heard women talking more and more about men with smooth, hairless chests and backs.

I do draw the line, however, on having any form of piercings done down there and tattooing is out of the question.

I'm glad I was born before all this shaving, piercing, and tattoo stuff.

/47 years old and the only thing I'll shave is my face

I'm sorry, but speaking as an Aussie, only pooftas get their bum and genitalia shaved or waxed.

Oh, and while we're on the subject, anyone else get this one single extra-long strand of nipple hair that needs to be plucked out every few months? It's as if all the other surrounding nipple hairs sacrifice themselves in order to push out a monumental one.

/hoping I'm not a freak

Actually, they're paying other people to do it. If they can get it done on sale, it's a dirty deed done dirt cheap.

Oh, for god's sake! Pubic hair is normal and natural. O.K, if you are growing a forest instead of a bush, then trim it, but remember that fads and fashions change. As for the number one trimmer blokes, do you not know ANYTHING about stubble rash? Nasty little bristles are not conducive to oral intimacy.

Although this isn't a word, this is part of the "homosexualizing" of the West. If I have to explain that to you, you have shaved your brain and need to just move on to the next post.
