    Extremely controversial take, I’m sure: you don’t shave for other people. You shave for yourself.

      I shave for other people. If no one was gonna suck my dick, then I would never shave - why go to the trouble, after all? But most people don’t like hair getting stuck in their throat, so I shave. Because I care about my partners’ experience.

      I had a girlfriend who said she doesn’t like it that I trim my stuff short and I had to break it to her that I understand her preference but I do it for my own preference. I wouldn’t expect her to cut her hair or paint her nails a particular way to suit me.

      Yep. You do you first and foremost. Then deal with the haters. I like my arms and legs trimmed down to 1/8". I also like my balls smooth. I can compromise and leave some bush up top if that’s what my partner wants (though now that my wife is dead no one else to comment I guess) but the others are not really up for debate.

      I also agree with that other guy that trimming your armpits goes a long way to helping look clean and not being overly sweaty. But a solid no to shaving them smooth. So uncomfortable and problematic when it starts to grow back.
