I was under the impression that 'Manscaping' was something --ONLY-- someone of the non-straight orientation did. I was at the gym lately and a bud of mine proved me wrong. So as NOT to make it seem like I was staring at his package (I swear I wasn't!), I waited 'til AFTER we were fully clothed to broach the subject. I was shocked to hear him say: 'Everyone is doing it!'

Is this true?

I heard crazy stories from Nair to Laser Surgery and just couldn't believe I was talking to a totally straight man!

Thoughts?

(Didn't know where else to post this. GS... I think not! Probably would work in Off-Topic there, but every 13 year old would have a sarcastic 'That's so G@Y!' response...)

Manscaping was introduced into the heterosexual world back around 2000 - 2001 and really took off during the "Metrosexual" trend of the early to mid part of this decade.  You could really argue that Queer Eye For the Straight Guy ushered in a lot of that, though I doubt they actually covered this on the show.

But to answer your question, yes many straight guys do it.  I don't think everyone is doing it, and I think the trend has somewhat died down, but it's still popular enough I believe.  Not that I have much knowledge about it other than my own personal experience, but from what I understand from my single lady friends, most of them expect a guy to be groomed down there if they want to get any.

Wow, Don Frye was right when he talked about American men. I will never ever question the Frye again!

P.S. maybe people shave more because more and more men do it in porn too?!

I thought about that as I was replying to this, but guys have been shaving in porn for a long time.  Much longer than Joe average has been, so I'm pretty sure that's not the case... though I do try to follow as much of Ron Jeremy's advice as possible.

Wow! I can't imagine NOT now! I have used a buzzer in places mere mortals would fear to tread!  Nyaa

Gotta be smooth, bronze, summer-boy for now!

Will become mountain-man Leo in the Winter-time again and maybe, MAYBE allow for some chest hair...  Nyaa

 For whatever reason I can't really grow a beard or a mustache, so I'm extra protective of the hair that I can grow.Nyaa

LOLOLOL that's so g@y. Nyaa

Yeah, I trim regularly. I like to have it trimmed down because my wang looks even more astounding and mastodontic. Besides, living in the fucking tropic, it's better to have it that way. I like to trim down the pits as well from time to time.

I have never trimed that area, and I never will!

Unless some hot female nurse does it for me, then it'd be okay. Grinning

I'm with Rag.

I have never and will never pluck or shave any hair on my body.

Damn crappy metrosexual movement. Yes a bunch of straight men do it cause women like it. I wish we were back in the 70's and 80's when hair was a good thing. This day and age sucks for a guy like me.

. . . well Carnage would come in and tell us that no one actually has pubic hair, and instead uses a merkin.  He doesn't actually look in his pants to confirm this, but he doesn't need any facts to base his opinion on.

I don't even shave my face.

Then I might shave my arse, I mean Steel is really starting to chafe, plus it gives a place for all his crabs to live.
