*pong*

You should try deodorant.

I know some guys who shave their genitals.

I am tempted to say *Good for you!* but I won't and quote someone completely randomly instead:

*There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.* - P.J. O'Rourke

Well when the first guy told me he took a razor to his privates I was sure he was joking. He said he thought it was the considerate thing to do. I mentioned it to another friend and he announced that the best razor to use down there was the Ultra Schick III razor (or some such thing). I still get the shivers when I think of it.

It's a considerate thing to do - but for gawds sake never attempt it after a drink!!!

What's wrong with shaving down "there"? Women do it. Why wouldn't men?

Well every time I've been down there to visit, I've noted that the skin in the area is particularly delicate. I think the skin on a woman is soft, but not as wet-tissue-paper easy to nick and full of blood vessels so close to the surface. To me, it just seems much more dangerous for a man to do.

Don' do it when you're too hot. If you're too much of a wuss to actually shave, use a hair clipper set to grade 0.

Electric shave? Can they nick you? I've never used an electric razor. I used to have an Epilady. You know, the gizmos that rotate a pair of coils to rip the hair out by the root. I really used to have a drink before using it. That hurt like one sonofabeech and I needed to work up the courage to use it. But I never had to worry about being cut. Maimed yes, cut no.

But wait. It's no more dangerous than women shaving their bits. It's not like it's going to hurt more or less if they nick any skin. And it's certainly not like they can cut anything off!

The soert of clippers you use for shaving heads- they can only cut you if you're incredibly stupid and ram the thing hard into your skin.

Well, okay. I guess I'm a bit sqeemish when it comes to razor blades and men's private bits meeting since I don't have a set to shave myself (men's bits that is). I brought it up here because it had me wondering and it's not something I feel I can bring up at a party.

Oh. Well if they can't cut you that sounds better.

You'd have to be a right prat to cut yourself with them.

(This is the comment when someone steps in and says "I have!")

This is gettiong good again.

gettiong good? You haven't quite mastered one handed typing yet have you?

I've shaved once. Regrowth is the worst thing evar.

Oh ya. I didn't even think of that. That could be a real pain.

I`ve done some trimming with one of those hair-thingys. But I wouldn`t use a razor. Too many veins and too bumpy terrain.
