I thought that "rampant natural undergrowth" meant that I shaved everything, and checked that by accident. I don't know which one I should have checked for "balls only, please". I guess that's manscaping.
I heartily endorse a Brazilian wax. Shaving stubble is uncomfortable and unattractive in a number of significant ways. The serious but short-term pain is well worth the smooth, long-lasting result - and Mr. Divine is very appreciative. I've even learned to do it myself (yes, really). The first time is very painful, but if you keep it up regularly, minor regrowth is much easier and less ...
I assume 'manscaping' means I shave the balls and trim the, what, the 'field'? That's what I chose. We recently got the Philips Bodygroom thingy, and we love it. The wife really appreciates the hairless nutsack, and obviously I enjoy how she shows her appreciation. She uses it to keep her own self nice and short in between waxes.
Manscaping is the middleground between nothing and everything.
(personally, I'm using a razor and couldn't imagine it anywhere near the scrote. <shudder>)
I'm Mister Natural, but I'm also curious how this correlates with age. In my experience there's a cutoff--people much above 40 tend to leave wild forestation, while younger people seem more into trimming, shaping, laying bare. I'd feel silly trimming, but that's just me (and my generation, I think).

I just looked up the product website, and I can't stop laughing about those furry kiwi fruits running from the scissors. Awesome.
I'd ask anyone with a band-aid or owie on their forehead if they nicked themselves shaving (regardless of sex) it was usually good for a chuckle or two until one guy said it was cancer. I stopped doing that.

You understand, of course, that she probably knows what brand of tampon her daughter sticks in her cooch? Mothers and daughters have to share stuff that fathers and sons don't.

I really do hope you're the only one who would find it creepy. My daughter tells me everything...sometimes more than I'd ever really want to know.
