The Swingers Board - View Single Post - Shave before play? WHEN should you do it?

A couple of years ago, after I started hanging out with these swinger-type folks, I started to occasionally shave my nether regions (shaved the scrotum, nearby areas and shaft, and trimmed the pubes). I found that both swinging women and vanilla women, in general, really like that, or at least didn’t care about it. So now I do some topiary work on a fairly regular basis if I think sex might be imminent, or when things get uncomfortable, or maybe a tad bushy. I guess that’s a little like how some women decide when they should shave their legs and get themselves waxed. But, I digress.

Anyway, several years ago I was shaving in preparation for an on-premise party and after all was said and done I had a bad case of razor burn from some over-enthusiastic attempts at hair removal in certain areas. The skin wasn’t broken or cut, but several areas on my scrote were bright red. I applied some polysporin or some such to the aggrieved sections and by the time of the party I was okay physically and visually. But I had been worried about two things. One, if the “burn” was still there, even if the skin wasn’t evidently broken, might it endanger me in any way with regard to STDs? Two, even if I was “safe” with regard to STDs, might potential partners avoid me if they thought I had some type of rash or infection?

After that experience, if I know I’m headed to a swing encounter – or a vanilla date I want to “clean up” for – I shave 24 or 48 hours before. So, if any burns or cuts show up during shaving, I can treat them with Sea Breeze, aftershave, or some other mild tonic (yeah, I know some of you might scream with the application of those solutions, but they don’t bother me), and then if necessary, the Polysporin or similar.

I’ve found the insignificant growth of hair in those areas after 24/48 hours has never been an impediment to sexual activity the next day. But I’ve always wondered if a day is enough for razor-burn or even a tiny cut to heal. And, of course, this applies to both men and women.

Your experiences, recommendations, or ideas?
