1) As pathetic as I am I don't think I could look myself in the mirror if I went to an escort. I also don't trust that the girl in question isn't some poor soul who got forced into this job.stroopwafel said:Why not pay for it then? Preferably a high-end escort who can provide a girlfriend experience. Life is short. You won't get a medal denying yourself everything. A few ehmm..sessions might also help you get over your anxiety to approach women. What do you have to lose? Before you know it you'll be a 40-year old virgin with all your prime years wasted.Casual Shinji said:
2) It's not just women, I have major problems being around people in general that aren't my immediate family.
And 3) I'm 34 years old so my prime years have already been wasted.
Some people are just sorta better off alone, and would count myself among that group. But the silver lining is that I don't have to trim shit.
Eh, there's nothing wrong with being single, despite what years of rubbish movies may have said. The world is full of bad relationships, and worse, families, involving people that didn't take the better option for them of staying single.Casual Shinji said:
No, I don't think you actually really believe that. That sounds more like depression or having internalized some really negative shit. You don't come across as some horrible person unworthy of anyone's attention. People have a natural need for affection and intimacy(not just sexual) and denying yourself that b/c of some deeply negative beliefs is an incredible waste. You might not be a spring chicken anymore at 34 but you're not yet old either. There is still time to turn things around. If you want it.Casual Shinji said:
Also with a high-end escort you can be pretty much sure the girl in question isn't forced into this profession. Usually it's just a college girl who, besides the money, seeks out excitement and adventure. We live in a country where people aren't exactly starving in the streets so rest assured you won't accidentally stumble on a victim of human trafficking when you pursue the legal options. Having experience, even a little, might go a long way feeling more confident.
Well, I guess there's that.
There is a big difference between being single and not having taste the muffin in 34 years.Thaluikhain said:
Obviously it would be nice of one could, since it's a huge part of being alive and human, and without it it feels like this whole area of life is locked away. But if it causes more stress than enjoyment, you have to question whether or not it's worth it.stroopwafel said:
I won't deny there's some self-image problems throwing a wrench in the works, but even with that I have very little craving for human interaction.
But hey, there's always talking bullshit online. I got no problem shooting the breeze through text.
Yeah, I've started doing it more often. I don't have sex, or haven't yet, but it feels more hygienic to know that all the sweat and other stuff down there isn't going to get caught in a tangled mess of hair.
I think I was somewhat similar in my mid-twenties, mostly also having these re-enforcing negative beliefs that I wasn't worthy of attention and that it wasn't worth pursuing. Let me assure you, it definitely is.Casual Shinji said:
I know how hard it is to break this pattern of self-defeating thoughts but you'll just have to try and not totally beat yourself up when you fail or get rejected. It happens and it causes stress but you have the choice of not letting that consume you. Let me guarantee you though that making a girl smile, laughing together, sharing intimate moments and feeling her warmth is the best part of being alive.It's easy for me now to put on my 'social hat' but I definitely have a more introverted character well, as in I need time to 'recharge' and don't mind spending lots of time alone reading, watching a movie or playing a videogame. But even that 'little craving' is a sign that you desire interaction, otherwise it wouldn't hurt. It's something you shouldn't ignore but act on.
Yeah, there's always that but as a substitute for actual human interaction it's a rather poor one.
This is an...interesting forum thread.
But despite being perpetually single, I'm not a big fan of having a jungle down there, so I keep it shaved.

I shave my pubes regularly. I don't keep it down to the skin at all times but after a few days or a weeks growth it's time to hit the old boys again.
I shave more than the average Escapist probably. I lift a lot so have a decent amount of muscle on me. Shaving my chest and stomach helps accentuate that look. I'll occasionally shave my butt cheeks as well just because I like the way they feel and look when smooth. Makes them more grabbable for the girlfriend as well.
I prefer my partners do the same. Previous girlfriends have shaved completely but the girl I'm currently with has an anxiety about it for some reason so there's always some hair down there. I really dislike it but hey, it's not all about me so no big deal. What's a little hair in your mouth occasionally anyway? Fun designs are kind of neat though- I wouldn't mind pulling a girl's pants off and finding a heart or some shape sculpted there.

I flip between a C and an Eagle because I have a curse where I grow way to much hair on my body so I wanted a way to make it fun.
When it gets too long or it's too hot outside it starts to tangle on itself, and that hurts, so I just do some minor trimming.
Of course trimming is a problem that feeds on itself, as it's itchy as it grows back unless immediately re-trimmed.

There is no one willing to go near my genitals, so I feel no reason for any maintenance. It grows wild and free and I am happy with that. If I actually find some mad woman wanting to get in my pants and wants me to do some manscaping, I would indulge her to a certain degree.
I actually shaved my pubes off to see what it was like when I was in my teens. Despite it making my dick look bigger, the itching wasn't worth it. I know now about moisturizers and stuff but didn't at the time. It was Hell for days.

Option #2. I generally forget to manscape down there unless it's for the benefit of someone else. As it is, I am happily single, muh divorce just went through and thus from the waist down (and thighs up) it kinda looks like I might be auditioning for a very family-unfriendly sequel to 'where the wild things are'.
I've never had sex and the concept of oral sex makes me gag and thus I see no reason to shave down there.
this was my thought process for *years*, so I trimmed it very very carefully with a guarded electric razor....Recusant said:
but you'd be fucking surprised, don't let the shaving gel/cream sit on your balls for a long time (it eventually seeps into the skin, a.k.a. making your balls feel very cold) and it's actually a very pleasantly smooth shave, the blades never catch when I do it, if anything the electric guarded razor caused more knicks/burns than the normal blade shaver ever has.
I will say that I typically take a hot shower before doing this though, helps smoothen out the skin and makes the pores relaxed, typically towards the end of the shower I'll apply the gel, shave gently, and wallah, smooth as a baby's bottom down there with no cuts or anything.
I have heard of using different gels and such though afterwards/during the next week, the skin down there is used to having hair rub between your legs so it might get agitated.
OT: unless I'm expecting sexy times (note: hardly ever) I usually trim/shave it once every 2-3 months, it'll get a bit bushy, shave/trim it down again.
Trim once a month, on average, sometimes every 3 weeks and set my clippers at a 5.
Dudes, you gotta man-scape.
I didn't start using the beard trimmer until after high school, but even then I learned that there's a reason that hair is different from the rest of our hair: it's there to capture smell.
Some of you talk about it taking away sweat. Yes it wicks it away to capture it in the thick follicles which are curly to maximize the smell.
I didn't learn the evolutionary side until I majored in Anthropology. As our vision took over our brains, our sense of smell diminished. But smells mark sexual maturity, so our bodies just amped up the signal to balance the diminished sense of smell.
Which is why apes are typically the smelliest of the primates.
So... it's made to make us smell. A sign of sexual maturity is not necessarily a sign of sexual attraction. So shave that shit.
Trimmer set at a 4-5, your underarms will still look like a man (if you have dark body hair) but you'll find that deodorant actually touches your skin and actually works as advertised.
Then make the carpets match the drapes. The first time you do it, your dick will look pornstar big. It's just an optical illusion, but man is it a great one.
Also, get your belly button trimmed a little too, that thing is a lint trap.
If you ever live in a hot place like when I lived in Arizona, you'll learn that you want to man-scape but you'll be sweaty and gross...
Here's what no one ever tells you:
Baby powder your balls. Also, if it's Arizona summer heat, do your ass crack too.
Dogs might not recognize you right away if you're a dude who baby powders your balls (I'm not kidding about that), so don't do it all the time, just before sports or a first date.
Don't baby powder your shit before sex though! That could dry her out and hurt her. Also, it's not sexy to go down on someone who smells like an infant.
If you're in high school and you get weirdly sweaty, baby powder that shit. Hormones and shit can make you sweatier than you will be later in life. I wish I could go back and tell my high school self some of this shit.
Summer is coming and skinny jeans aren't going anywhere. Trust me, man-scape and baby powder are your friends.
