Back in high school, I pretty much had a full on bush and didn’t think much of it, accepted my body the way it was.
It wasn’t until I got to college that I had seen other guys with shaved or trimmed bushes. It got me curious so I shaved mine completely off. 2-3 days later the pubes growing out started to become prickly and snag onto my briefs and became uncomfortable.
I let it grow back out and decided to just trim after getting some advice from my roommate. It was more tolerable than shaving it off. Every now and then, I start to dig the full on bush and grow it back out again but some chicks prefer it shaved, trimmed and once in a while they love the full bush.
What are your preferences? I’m not looking for answers, just curious as to what others say or think about it. Right now I am currently trimmed.

Trimmed, not shaved. I feel most people don’t want to deal with a thicket they can get lost in ( although there are some that do) and a grown man with full on shaved junk is also a bit offputting. ( and again, some would rock that in a second). So the moral of the story, do what makes you most comfortable. Lol
Trimmed at minimum..Shaved better.. stubble is fine.
Natural, that way I can use it as a paintbrush.
Shaved/trimmed every couple days. Of the 30ish women I’ve slept with not a single one preferred pubic hair
Get a pair of body hair trimmers and find a size that is okay for you. I find if its to short its uncomfortable…
So trimmed is my answer, keeps it looking clean and not like a wild troll dolls hair!
Full bush. This way ‘he’ doesn’t look so intimidating 🤣
Trimmed. Stubble is uncomfortable.
No one likes to eat off a dirty plate
Shaved here, once I did my chances of getting a bj went up dramatically
All
Just all
Trim the main bush and shave balls and shaft. I have never noticed them being prickly probably because there is less hair growth there.
Of the 30ish women I have slept with,

no one complained about the bush
Trim around, shave the balls.

Nobody likes prickly bits. I just trim off the tufts basically and that’s all I really want my partner to do as well.
I’m in the minority of straight guys who wax, from belt to butt crack. It’s much more thorough than shaving with very little collateral damage (knicks and cuts) once you get used to the pain by the third visit. And after six months, the hair that does come back is noticeably thinner and softer. I go every four weeks. In and out in 20 minutes.
Trim. I don’t want her having a full bush, so I assume she doesn’t want me to either. Plus I don’t think she’d appreciate hairs stuck in her teeth 🤣
Too much hair and it really becomes difficult to keep clean (it traps odors). Too little hair, and you’ll have newfound chaffing issues. A happy medium is the easiest to maintain.
Always natural.
I have been tried it all, trimmed, shaved, waxed, but what works for me is trimming my pubic area very short, and then don’t touch it for a month, or if I feel the need sooner I will, but I shave the base of my penis and sack right to my legs, I do this 3-4 times a week, never have any issues in literally 20yrs

I use a pair of trimmers, no guard. Gives you an optical inch, makes you feel clean, and girls still find it masculine.
I work with a lot of women (healthcare) and fully shaved weirds them out sometimes.
I like to trim to 0.5”
Gonna back the trimmed gang here. Shaved is too uncomfortable/painful, bushy gets too hot. I just found a length I like on the trimmers and hit every couple months or so.
no matter what you do, shave your balls
Trim the bush, shave the sack
For most of my life post puberty, my facial and pubic hair were fine, sparse and soft, and my pubes were exclusively above my penis. There was never any need to consider doing anything with it.
Then during covid, coincidence or not, they both dramatically changed at the same time and in the same way, becoming thick bristles, growing over a much bigger area, and much thicker. My pubes actually became very painful and in areas I absolutely do not want them to be.
So now I shave it off totally about every three or four days.
Trim. I like to match.
Keep it trimmed down to like a 2 – shows you care
Shaved to a number 1 all over.
Yep trimmed is the way to go.
I bic 1-2 x a week. I like it smooth. Less prickly when grinding, and milady won’t get hair in her food.
It’s the same reason I prefer my partners shaved. Cuz I don’t wanna stop to pull a hair. I work hard to keep them on edge. 😂
Trim closely is the norm when getting sex regularly, wax for “special occasions”, or more natural when in a dry spell.
All 3
Waxed feels so much smoother for longer
Trim. Honestly mainly to make it look bigger.
I trim the hedges short and mow all the way down basically everything from the front yard to the back.
Trim down to an inch or so. Anything shorter than that isn’t worth the itching. I am very fuzzy, so that could be terrible.
I shaved my junk completely for the first time prepping for my vasectomy at 35 and decided to keep it that way. I’m particularly hairy everywhere and it looks comically out of place, but my wife likes it and prefers to not have any of her own body hair south of her eyelashes. We’ve been together long enough to work out what’s fun or comfortable for both of us and what’s just catering to an expectation, and both of us being bald as drag strip tires in that area makes our mutual love for both giving and receiving oral that much better. For personal comfort, I’d recommend at least trimming, especially if you’re approaching sasquatch status like some of us, lol.

I think the worst option is letting it go full out. Just like hair styles, unkempt is typically never attractive to anyone.
Always trimmed. Always. Trimmed.
I mean, natural is aight if your hairs only grow so long. But shaved is never the move.
Fully bald, I cant get away from the look/feel. My buddy has a full fucking bush that bleeds into his stomach, shit has to be awful for his wife.
I have to trim because if I don’t I look like Big Foot. Think of Robin Williams but hairier.
Shaved. Shave regularly in the shower — every couple of days or so. Much easier to keep up.
I keep mine bald. It makes it look bigger, and I need all the optical illusions I can get.
If I’m sexually active I usually just go clean shave and stay that way, if I’m not I usually just let it grow but it will start to bother me after it hits a certain length so I chop it all off (rinse, repeat)
When I was single I would trim never shave, did it once and once it started to grow back it itched like hell so I never did it again. Not that I’m married my wife loves the hair so I rarely trim. Maybe once every 6 months.
I’m 47 been with the same person for 26 years. At this point in my life and relationship a bush. She does not care one way or the other.
Used to use Nair in high school. Not anymore. Home grown. But I’m also married and get 40000% less action sooooo
Trim the top. Shave the rest.
My wife seemed to not care at all when I trimmed so I just don’t.
I get waxed! Love it! No stubble for weeks!
I’m fully shaved and love it. Have been doing this since my teens. I hate hate hate pubic hair. Like all pubic hair on everyone including myself.
Trimmed up top, shaved scrotum. My wife loves it. Fully shaved is too itchy.
Straight razor for the closest daily shave for both north and south. Stark bald like a hairless cat
Just trim it every time she starts going pthh pthh pthhh
I shaved when I first started puberty. It was wierd. But the outgrow was annoying so I left it grow full bush. If you do decide to shave you should buy the hair removal laser. Takes 4-6 months but it won’t grow as often for another 6 months-ish
Shave – but with a machine and not a razor, so its not "zero" – as you say to avoid it becoming uncomfortable when growing back.
Wax, it feels great but it hurts a little bit.
Buzz it off because it’s like a Crotch 🔥 Fire in summer 😆
I use trimmers and keep it at around a 5. Then I shave my balls completely.
Dude, what grown man wants to discuss pube style with other adult men? This shit is just plain weird. You do you and don’t bother me with your shenanigans, weirdo lol.
trimm or brazil (if you are brave; the first time is worst, when your pubs have been pulled earlier it is easier)
Wherever I’m putting my mouth, I don’t want any hair. Full bush is totally fine with me as long as shaft and balls are clear. It may sound stupid and totally psychosomatic, but I have an asthmatic cough so I gag and choke a lot as it is. Feeling hair in my mouth will get me gagging.. not out of repulsion, more of a reflex, and kinda take me out of the moment. I realize that’s a specific answer but I hope that helps.
Winter: Let it grow
Summer: Clip it short

Trimming once a week. About 6mm. Seems to be popular in my area.
Just leave it alone.

Don’t outthink mother nature. Every time man decides we’re smarter than mother nature, bad things happen.
And seriously…find something a bit more significant to dedicate your mental energy towards, dudikins.
I use a beard trimmer down there. Just haven’t figured out how to handle the nuts yet
As a woman, I prefer neatly trimmed to shaven.
I don’t care much, so I let my wife decide. She likes me trimmed short.
I have shaved a few times and I can tell she really likes the feel of it, so I think it’s a visual turn off for her.
Trimmed
I’m too lazy to shave my face, you think I’m going to bother with the sensitive bits? Been married 25 years and she’s never complained. About the shrubbery, I mean.
I shave every couple of days.
Number 2, head, face, and balls
Shave and trim. 1/8” attachment with the clippers while the balls and base of the shaft get the razor.
Natural. I’d trim or shave if the wife cared, but she tells me she doesn’t.
I scissor trim every few weeks and style it with hair gel
Full on 70s porn style !
