Male pubic hair before exam

I tend to trim my pubic hair shaping it as a medium sized vertical strip which leads to my navel - the design is irrelevant , I just like to talk about it 😃

Anyway, I get self conscious about having a trimmed pubic area and so I often grow it in before any scheduled exams. Just curious if I am the only dummy that is self conscious about that sorta thing. I should mention I am in my late 40's - so I am not a kid.

I have been shaving all the pubic hair off for many years now. I'm over 40. I felt kind of strange being in front of my urologist like that and he said no need to feel that way. "Lots of men shave now" he said. It's great not having that hair there when it comes time to clean up after sex. I first had just done a trim job. As months went by I shaved more and more of it off until it was all gone,... and now I (and my wife) love it that way. Less of a bother to clean up after sex.

I like to keep mine well trimmed but have never had to show my doctor. I think if I had to I would let it grow out ?

Had an exam about a year ago. Didn't know i would have to remove my underwear (the exam was for my leg). I had just trimmed/shaved my pubic area and thought no one was gonna see it. When the doctor told me to step out of my boxers I feared she would react to it but of course she didn't 😉

I leave it in natural slightly gray bush form. At my age it is about the only hair I can count on to fall out slowly. The last time a doctor commented on my pubic hair was when my pediatrician told my mother that it was growing nicely. The only time i trimmed my pubic hair was when I shaved my testicles for a vasectomy 15 years ago.

I trim the hair at the base of the penis and shave my scrotum. I think it gives a more appealing look because it is neater and also enhances the size of the penis and showcases the scrotum. I used to maintain this look for physicals to give a better look for the doctor. Since my penis really shrivels up and scrotum pulls up tightly toward my body when the anxiety of the exam sets in, the trim and shave did very little to make me feel more confident about my size. A number of years ago I decided to let the hair grow out to a natural pattern when a physical was coming up to maximize the embarrassment I feel over insecurity about the size and appearance of my genitalia. I really enjoy thinking about how small I appeared when the doctor saw my genitals and imagining how poorly I measured up to other guys he has seen. It makes for some good fodder for masturbation.

I shave from hip to hip and waist to mid thigh. It is my preference and has nothing to do with the doctor. Once, I had a young doctor ask about it. I just said it was my preference. He explained that he was just making sure there wasn't a problem causing hair loss.

When I teach genital exams, I explain this to the students.

Men without pubic hair is very common today. I'm in my late 60's and have been keeping my dick, balls and all other pubic hair shaved off for at least 15 years now. I felt a little embarrassed on a visit to my urologist and he told me that there was no need for me to explain why I shave. He said he sees it all the time. I do it because it's easier to clean up after sex and it gives the whole genital area a nicer cleaner appearance.

I spent some time before my last exam cleaning up that area. I have a small razor that i can put just about anywhere and it won't cut the skin. Only need that to happen once to never try scissors again!

I have never trimmed before an exam before. However, I may this next time.

I always keep trimmed but honestly doctors have seen it all so I am certain they don't care trimmed or bushy or cool designs.

I am trimmed too, for erotic, hygienic, "medical" reasons, more easy for the doctor to not have hairs where he is doing his exam.

Never trimmed my pubic hair. Still it's original colour unlike some of my other hair.

I am always shaved - all smooth

Some years ago I had to be shaved in that area for medical exams and operation. From that moment I keep myself shaved all over that place. I like the feeling of a clean shaft and balls. During examinations, mostly done by nurses, I get commends that they like that. Especially for making it sterile before the scope eximinations

I do a slight trim before an exam, especially on and around the scrotum and base of the penis.

I trim my pubic hair and shave my scrotum and the base of my penis. I find that this frames my genitals and makes them appear larger than they already are. It also makes my bulge look bigger when clothed, though that may be because I am slightly aroused. I always was self conscious about my grooming until I was in an automobile accident and wound up in the emergency room. Needless to say, being exposed in front of various medical professionals will cure your timidness.

I keep myself shaved all the time, my wife and I prefer it. I have often wondered if my doctor thinks it is strange but no one has ever said anything. Both my male and female doctors and nurses don't even give it a second look or expression. I am sure to most medical professionals once you have seen a few people, we are all basically the same so it is no big deal to them.

I trim and like partners /playmates do so too.

The idea of disliking any hair on partners leaves me nervous about the people who are saying this. It sounds very close to idolising pre-pubescent bodies...

dangerous dangerous slope....

I think it's very popular these days to have hairless pubic areas, both males and females. I believe it to be more of a trend than any attempt to suggest pre-pubescence. There are numerous posts on this forum stating a preference for no hair in the pubic area, probably more so than those who wish to remain natural. There are certainly considerably more images of hairless genitals than natural hairy ones here and on other sites.

You'd be hard pressed to consider me or any other of my shaved partners as pre-pubescent. I shave my groin but am hairy otherwise, with significant gray.

Most men in western countries shave their facial hair ... an uncharitable mind might also make the same remark. Which would be utter nonsense of course.

Hair lengths and styles throughout history have been set by fashion and fads and sometimes by religious convictions ... if pubic hair styes are now changing or have become subject to personal choices and fashions it's mainly because the pubic region is no longer an entirely taboo region to show or discuss. Since more and more people have become less self-conscious about pubic hair, it's only natural that they will wish to present it in the best possible light, not as an unruly mess of primordial looking hairiness. Or perhaps even emulate facial fashions and just do away with it all ...

There is really no need to see anything uncharitable about the new fashion. That's just going for an easy and mean-spirited explanation. Why not believe what people who shave themselves say about their choice?

I've never shaved or even trimmed my pubic hair; me and a buddy in California are completely natural and prefer it that way. As he put it, "I worked hard for it! Why would I want to shave it off?"

My sentiments exactly.

As he put it, "I worked hard for it! Why would I want to shave it off?".

Preferences are entirely personal of course and to each their own ... but just as a reminder and something to ponder: you don't have to work hard to get pubic hair. It grows all by it itself, with no help at all.

On the other hand, keeping it trimmed or shaved - that's where the work is.

I had a physical this morning. In the shower before I went, I shaved my balls and cleaned up around the top and sides. Also thinned out my pubes. This is my normal routine every 2-3 days. Figured the doctor wouldn't care. He didn't say anything about it when he examined me.

I first started shaving my pubic hair when I was in my 30's. When I had to go for a physical I would let it grow back in. Over the years I read a lot of posts on a number of sites that all said doctors are professionals and have seen it all and could care less if you are shaved or not. By the time I was in my 40's I felt comfortable enough with my doc, and most importantly felt comfortable enough with myself, that I went to an appointment shaved as I normally am. He didn't say anything and didn't even stop to look he just did his normal exam routine and moved on. I really don't think it is that uncommon and if your doc is a true professional they aren't going to care if you re saved or not.

I've been fully shaved for years and the docs are fine with it...

Do what you find the most comfortable is all I'll say, for me that's shaving it all off

I always keep it well trimmed and always trim the night before an exam.

I really don't think a doctor cares if you are shaved or not. To most doctors I am sure they feel it is just a job and probably hardly even notice a patient's individuality. Giving exams is probably about as interesting as working on an assembly line. I go thru moods whether I want to be natural, trimmed, or shaved and have been to exams all three ways and no doctor has ever commented on any of the ways. However, as a play doctor, I really don't care either if my patients are natural, shaved, or trimmed, but if they do shave or trim, I do dislike it if they have stubble, as it is unpleasent to have to touch as you exam the patient.

I have been various ways for real exams, but usually keep my scrotum and shaft smooth. For play exams, I don't mind how the patient looks. I have had patients that are usually natural.
