    Hey Men,
    I've not been on in a while but I needed to get advice from other men with experience. Coming back on also makes me want to try another stretch at nofap again. It's a tricky time of year for me as I have potentially free time on my own at home, so that's a bit risky. Nofap definitely helped me before.

    Anyway I wanted to get advice on a sticky issue. I recently bought a good quality hair trimmer as I've started shaving my head over the covid lockdown. I am going to keep it like this now as it's so handy and oddly I've had a lot of compliments about it.

    The trimmer is cordless and very handy to use so I decided to tidy up my body hair also, which I rarely do. I shaved my chest and torso with a #4 blade. I decided to trim my pubes so used #3 around the main area / base of shaft. I then used a #1 over my sac. It feels nice but I noticed since my sac is really sticking to my thigh and I regularly have to do the old leg spread and shake to try and free them, usually without success. I often end up just putting my hand in and re-adjusting them.

    I think a lot of guys trim and shave regularly now so can you tell me how you deal with this situation. I usually wear boxer briefs and jeans.

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Cheers

  2. Yep. Being trimmed looks nice, but hair down there definitely has a purpose to serve. For me, body powder definitely helps a lot and feels nice and cool. Especially during the warmer months. Also, underwear that doesn't allow my nuts to slip down the leg hole and be in contact with my thighs helps reduce the skin on skin/sticky feeling.
    In conclusion, maybe try some body powder, or experiment with different undies.

    Thanks mate,

    I'll definitely try the body powder first. Can I ask what type of underwear you use to combat the problem? None of my boxer-briefs do the job. The only pair that worked is a cheap pair of briefs I bought from SportsDirect which I use when out doing manual work. They definitely work but they look a bit old man / bulgy looking!

    I would be interested to know what types work and look half decent.

    Cheers

    One reason we have pubes is to mitigate microbes, gets retc. from getting to or privates. Something to bear in mind.

    They provide a barrier between genital to genital contact.

    Itch like a mofo if you shave or trim super short. I shaved mine a few times but too much itching. I do occasionally trim down. My shit gets too bushy and I seem to have to ”asjust” the equipment more frequently.

    IMO, this fad is driven by porn. There is no need to trim or shave pubic hair. If you left it as it was you would not have your ball sac sticking to your thigh. In the meantime, briefs is the way to go.
     
    Psalm27:1my light and zeusmx like this.
  7. I shave down there once in summer to refresh but it honestly gets too itchy. I just like to trim it back a little bit.

    :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing: I Followed your advice this morning after my shower and I nearly led to me fainting! I poured in a generous portion and spread it around. An hour later I went for a leak when at the petrol station. I looked down and nearly fainted. It was mostly white and I had forgot about the powder. The end was wet and red which made the white part look like it was old dead skin pealing off, like it had been submersed in water for hours and the skin had started to peel. I nearly screamed but it was pure relief when I found out what it really was. As regards the sticking thing it has help so far but I've not been very active or sweaty since so we'll see.
    Can I ask you about the underwear thing again please. Can you advise of any style or type that's helpful.

    Cheers

    I suppose that makes sense. It definitely better presents and makes things look bigger, not that anyone else sees it!!
    I'll stick with a light trim occasionally from now on!

    If anyone else can advise on underwear please. I want a type that cups and separates like briefs but don't have the 'old man' look that briefs do.

    Thanks guys

    I guess you could look on underwear sites and pick the ones that don't look too old-fashioned.

    Thanks Igy,
    I tried that before but maybe I was just unlucky. I might take another try but though I'd see if anyone in a similar situation had found a comfortable type.

    Cheers

    Lol. I should have mentioned maybe that only a light dusting is typically necessary. You don't want it to get cakey or look like you just walked out of a flour mill.
    As for the underwear, you'll have to decide for yourself. There are some brands out there that focus on separation of the penis from the testicles. I've not had much luck with these in terms of comfort or appearance. As you might have gathered, I'm a fan of Calvin Klein. There are various styles of boxer briefs that work well for me. Trial and error will get you closer to find what works best for you.

    Thanks mate. I'm not separating penis and balls but just to keep my junk all cupped together with no thigh contact. I'll maybe try some cks. They are expensive for trial and error though. What type do you use or think I should start with? Are the button fly types any good?

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

    Cheers
     
  16. Who wants to undo a button to let it out? Not me. Tommy John is also a really nice and comfortable brand but if you think CK's are pricey then you'll be shocked. I only ask for them as gifts now haha. I guess I've reached that age. TJ's have a horizontal fly which is IMO revolutionary and completely genius.
    Bottom line, boxer briefs with a fly. And make sure they aren't too big, or oversized for you. Proper fit is important.

    Thanks mate,
    Had a look and would love to try them. Might try the hammock pouch ones!

    Hi Jonah, you mean trunks like briefs? I'm in Ireland here so we probably use different terms. Over here pants mean underwear or briefs where it's very different in the US. Also fanny has a very different meaning here!
     
  20. I mean boxer briefs not briefs like tightie whities.
