Q.
My wife wants me to shave “down there.” Is this something dudes do? What’s the point?
A.
When it comes to haircare, we’re a society of double standards. Most men expect women to be genitally groomed, and even if a guy doesn’t expect it, a lot of women have internalized the expectation and do it anyway. So first, what’s your attitude about pubic hair? Do you expect her to shave or wax? If you do, it’s only fair that you do the same for her if she asks. Maybe she finds your pubic hair scratchy or smelly, or maybe she doesn’t like getting a mouthful of Brillo when she goes down on you. Whatever the reason, if grooming will make her happier in the sack, why not do it?
