    I don’t understand. Is it because there’s a tiny bit of stubble in what is possibly the hardest place on the body to shave? As a man that’s been waxed before, I 100% understand if someone doesn’t want to do it. It sucks. And this is like the amount of hair I have by evening if I shave in the morning.

            I would imagine that some are harder to shave than others, depending on their shape.

            But man, shaving a scrotum is a good way to accidentally castrate yourself.

              I can’t imagine how folk shave their buttholes and peributtholes on their own. Like even with slippers I end up snicking something, and no one needs to see my war zone I’m not making a beautician do it. And I’m not trying waxing I tried a small bit on my leg. Big mistake. That goes nowhere near my puckers.

              Not quite as long as you, but I’ve also been doing so for a long time. I’ve probably shaved my groin more often than I have my face at this point. I’m still pretty awful at it.

              • I’m morbidity obese, so the reach isn’t always easily quite there.
              • Because of the obesity, it’s really only feasible to shave standing up, but I broke my ankle and hurt my spine a while ago, so it’s already difficult to stand up for any period of time.
              • I’m right handed, but I’ve dislocated my right shoulder fourteen times, so I can’t always make that hand/arm do what I want.
              • I’m pretty uncoordinated with my left hand and have arthritis in that shoulder, which isn’t a huge limiter, but still complicates things.

              I just do my best and hope that, at worst, it doesn’t itch for me and is not actively unpleasant for my partner. Generally speaking I don’t expect anyone else to look at or interact with the area.

        (my dudes, some of us here respect each others intelligence enough not to use sarcasm tags. Which of course leaves dipshits like me confused as fuck, which I think is hilarious in an ironing kind of way. And these racing stripes I put on the community look pretty sharp)
