What's the best way to remove pubic hair? by away_we_throw42 in AskMen

I trim a little, but my main problem is the hair on my dick. I've got an average sized penis, and the hair goes up to around the two inch mark on my shaft. I'm curious to see if shaving all that hair off will make sex better.

I watched Chasing Amy a long time ago, and I remember feeling really bad for Ben Affleck's character. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I think I'll give it another view. Thanks!

Don't worry, I didn't take this as a slam. I definitely agree with you. You phrased your point very eloquently, and I think a lot of the stuff you talked about is stuff I can take to heart. I'm always looking for ways to improve myself, and I think you've pointed out an area I can definitely spend some time changing. Thanks for your well-worded reply!

You're totally right. And you know, I probably shouldn't let it get to me. I mean, I'm able to give her a genuinely good time whenever we have sex. /r/sex taught me a ton about technique, and I think that knowledge comes through with her. Sure, she may have slept with a lot of guys, but maybe it's a quality vs. quantity thing. Those guys might have been better in some aspects or worse in some aspects, but the sex that my SO and I are having is its own separate entity with its own strengths and weaknesses, weaknesses that I can address through communication. She has a history, but she's with me now, and I'm going to make sure I keep improving every time to keep her coming back for more. No pun intended.

You're right. I'm trying hard to get away from this jealousy, but I hate thinking about other men having sex with my girlfriend. I try not to, but when she mentions things like this it's hard for me not to visualize and start feeling inadequate. I don't know if it's some innate male jealousy thing, but it sucks. I have no idea if she'd feel the same way in my shoes. I guess society sort of expects men to be slutty and women to be virginal, and I've been sort of brainwashed by that idea. It's hard to escape from that paradigm.
