I also am strangely aroused by nature documentaries of lions and crocodiles and bears and stuff. Sometimes when I watch one in polite company, I have to leave the room. (Not because I think about doing it with the animals, you perverts, just because it makes me horny - I don't know why, although maybe I do subconsciously think about doing it with a bear or something, who knows). anyway, carry on.

So I guess those Labatt's Blue commercials with the playa bear are more accurate than I first thought

I hope our software upgrade contains a spell-check option.

Actually, I don't hang out with metrosexuals at all. Either they ar gay or they are straight. Old skool. And I dont think trimming the pubes means the guy's is on the downward slide into fuzzy sweaters, man panties and man perfume. its a common courtesy.

Most men I know trim or shave. They are not what I would call close to being metrosexuals, nor are they overwhelmingly hairy.

(The NYT embrace of the term metrosexual has spawned several synonyms -- my favorite, though less accurate, is heterogay.)

Better? Anything else you'd like to share with the class?

I'd offer you a cookie but there is absolutely no eating (of any kind, NTTAWWT) in my class.

Ahh, detention. Now I feel right at home. Thank you Mr. Hand for giving me some order and structure in my life. I really was only acting out because I needed some attention. Now I'll have plenty of time to write that book report that I have been putting off.

And I dont think trimming the pubes means the guy's is on the downward slide into fuzzy sweaters, man panties and man perfume. its a common courtesy. I dont want to hear about disco mitts if the guy cant return the favor. And whats weird is, I get the sense that my legion of non trimming before me exes might not have cared if I indeed did disco mitt, so I guess it aint a double standrad. but if they did, then it is. one ghuy actually told me that he preferred me not to brazilian, but that since we would be together a long time, variety was cool. thats right, i had a rquest for more hair. but then I dont have that nasty dark course stuff most of you people have.

I actually have no problem with depth of pubes. In fact, sometimes if it grows in thick its reminiscent of 80s centerfolds and interesting from a retro perspective ("hey, I used to TCB to chicks like that when I was 14"). HOWEVER, letting it grow out in all directions on the sides is not sexy and very much reminiscent of bad hook ups with crunchy chicks in college who talked a good talk but sucked in the sack (a person pretending to be something they're not generally isn't good in bed because one has to let his/her ihhibitions down to be good between the sheets).

So you're a natural blonde? Or are you saying you've got soft pubes? If its (a), then good for you. That's a cool look. If its (b), get over yourself - 90% of chicks have soft pubes.

By the way, the worst pube color is brown or red. Brown is dull and provides minimal contrast - thus, its boring to look at. Red just doesn't look good to me. I don't like redheads either, so I think its a color taste thing. Black or blonde is preferable.

The Brazilian is boring at this point because everyone has one and everyone has tried it.

3. Most guys don't trim anything. You hang out with too many metrosecuals. You think that 40 year old partner you dealt with last week trims? I doubt it.

How do you know this? Do guys discuss this sort of thing over beer in between sports scores and commments about that chick over there's rack? It sounds more like a conversation women might have.

Not impugning your man-ness. Just sincerely curious.

Come on. Pretty much everyone here would agree with him.

I hesitate to ask, but what is depth of pubes? length? as opposed to having it all over the place, like on the sides and with a hairway?

and, i can tell you over PM, bc its outable. bc I am a stripper but I have never met a man with soft pubes. how can it be so commone for women but not men?

Well, its talked about a fair bit these days. You think this board is that unique?

Guys talk about lots of wierd shit. I recall the topic arose for the first time when a buddy of mine was golfing with his father in law to be and had to take a group shower afterward. He forgot that being rather trimmed might appear wierd to an older man, particularly an older man who'd fathered his future wife. He asked for opinions from a bunch of us, and so the conversation began and the topic has been raised every once in a while since...

I have no idea whether men have soft pubes... I haven't gone down on a man since I was kicked out of being an altar boy for drinking holy wine.

Depth is, yes, length.

So after getting back from Vegas, I had enough gas left in the tank to go see Belle & Sebastian. For those of you who don't know B&S, the band is fronted by Stuart Murdoch, an incredibly gay short lithe blonde guy, and co-features a good looking ambiguously gay lead guitarist/keyboard player named Steve, and a very short fat woman who sings backing vocals and plays keyboards, xylophones, violins and a large number of other instruments. There's also a normal looking rhythm section, a hipster organist, and five string-instrumentalists (including one total hottie). They all trade off instruments fairly regularly through the show. They played a number of songs from their upcoming release, old favorites from their back catalogue (including Jonathan David and State I Am In from their EPs). Running themes through the show and their lyrics: getting beat up at school for being gay, getting beat up at school for being bad at sports, coming out of the closet, struggling with your sexuality, singing in a very high voice. I think their new song about sexual harrassment "Step Into My Office, Baby" is going to be very well liked by their fans.

During the encore, they brought out their producer Trevor Horn to come sing a song. I'm sure the entire audienced groaned inwardly, until they realized with the opening riffs that THIS GUY WAS THE LEAD BUGGLE, AND BELLE & SEBASTIAN IS DOING "VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR." Very cool.

One last observation: If you're among friends who are equally devoted fans, you can KILL with a comment like "oh, sing like a man for once, Mary."

I swear I don't know any guys who admit to talking about personal grooming with other guys. They get as far as "Get a haircut?" "Yeah." and (Nod or) "Uh." before they get paranoid about hearing too many graphic details about anything more intimate.

But this is interesting. Do carry on.

Wasn't this guy the new Rick Wakeman?

Isn't it just cooler (temperature-wise) to trim? I would think that would be incentive enough.

You know all those nights we go out with our buddies? We spend the time discussing our feelings and dreams, sharing grooming secrets, and making serious emotional commitments to each other.

Oh, and we usually stop and ask directions at some point.
