For removing pubes for guys:

Do you put on cream and trim/shave the same way you do on your face? Or do you do it while showering?

And also, whats the best recommended shaver/blade for trimming, as I do not want to be itching furiously for the next week.


Ahh doing some man-tinence eh? Well..there are lots of things you can do to tame your feral bits, like clip or shave, it just depends on how much hair you want to have left. My S.O uses a Wahl Clipper (automatic beard shaver) on #4 and it does well to keep the area nice and neat.

As far as avoiding itchy bumps and such it's not so much about what razor you use, although you should choose one that has a gliding head and multiple blades..basically one of good quality, but it's more about how you prepare the skin and hair before you shave and after you're done.

If you plan on shaving it's best to do it in the shower after you've clipped/cut down the area you want to shave to a little less than a half inch long. You don't want to leave the hair long because as you shave the longer hair it can get caught in the blade or irritate the follicles so you'll end up with all kinds of ingrown hairs and itchy bumps.

After you've clipped the area you wish to shave down it's best to soak in a hot shower for a bit to allow the hair and follicles to soften. Wash the area with mild soap and exfoliate lightly. Afterwards apply shaving cream and shave with a razor meant for sensitive skin, let the shaving cream sit on the skin for just a minute to further condition and soften the hair. It's best to use a razor that is specially for "bikini" areas and remember not to use that razor on your face and just keep it for the purpose of below the belt shaving. NEVER use a rusty or old razor, it's best to have a fresh sharp razor for this.
Afterwards use a non scented basic lotion and wear cotton underwear or none at all (but avoid scratchy fabrics like jeans, it's best to use flowy airy pants.) Avoid touching the freshly shaved area (to avoid skin oils, bacteria etc) for about 24 hours. I hope this information helps! Happy man-tinencing!

hey, I have two questions:
Recently me and my fiance have started to have sex more, which is great because we used to only get the chance to have sex about once a month but there's a problem. His having problems with finishing in missionary, like if I didn't want him to rub me raw, we have to switch to girl-on-top and yes we tried putting my legs up and a pillow underneath me, etc.

Try different positions until you find one that works for both of you/to help him finish? Or else help him finish another way (after all, it doesn't have to be through intercourse).

Quote:
He won't tell me what he likes, I mean I know he likes it when I talk dirty and stuff. But he won't tell me how he likes when he wants a hand/b*****b. I mean I know basically what to do, how does a person give a hand or b*****b?

Have you asked? Ask him why he won't tell you. Explain that will be easier to meet his needs if he communicates--and demonstrate by telling/showing him how you like it.

I know he doesn't have to always finish through intercourse, but he likes having sex. He wants to do doggy style, which is fine but his a bit over weight, so finding positions that work for him are hard.
And yes, I have asked him to tell me what he likes but usually that turns into him wanting me to do oral sex and with him still not telling want he likes, just that he wants it.

It takes 2 to tango. Communication is a big help. Also you might consider getting an adult video for tips on the bj/handjob stuff.

I have a question about yeast infections - I've just got my second in a short while and it's really frustrating since I've been doing everything I can to avoid getting another since I had my first one (about a month to 5 weeks ago) like wearing cotton underwear, not wearing underwear to bed, showering immediately after exercise, etc. I know men can get yeast infections too - about 12-15% will get symptoms if their partner has one - but my partner isn't showing any symptoms. Is it possible or likely that he could have an asymptomatic infection and have reinfected me? (We don't use condoms since we've been monogamous for the past 2.5 years or so and I'm on the pill, and we've been tested and cleared - my last testing was late August if it matters.) I'm going to talk to the health center tomorrow but was just wondering if this is a possibility and if so, if there's anything we can do about it or if there are any tests we can have done to determine for certain. I'm going to the pharmacy later so I can pick up meds for me and I didn't know if it might be a good idea to have him start applying the cream too, or if it would be better to wait and get a more certain diagnosis with him (since it's not freaking obvious like with me lol... bleggggggggggh cry ).

Thanks a bunch! smile
I'm not a hundred percent certain on this one. It might also be your diet, or you could have a new sensitivity to a soap or laundry detergent (they cause so many yeast infections for my poor mother).
They say not to wear undies to bed? Because to be honest, when I don't it's not so....... fresh the next day. I think to a point cotton undies take moisture away from the area while letting it breathe for me.


Yeah, I was doing some research on the internet and read a few articles that suggested men could be asymptomatic and that partners could pass it back and forth (and my mom suggested the same thing) but I didn't know how reliable all of that was so I figured it was worth asking. At the very least I should be able to talk to someone tomorrow (provided I can get these damn papers done in time to call heh). Thanks though!

I'm not sure how much the diet thing would be at play because I know that lower sugar diets tend to be better and vice versa, but I've actually been eating a lot less sugar now. I did buy a new bottle of detergent just before the beginning of the semester, but it's a dye, fragrance free 'gentle' detergent that I haven't had problems with before. Honestly I thought the first time around it was my new nylon/spandex panties I had just bought so I did away with those... but I guess that didn't help lol. I should get it all sorted tomorrow though. I'm just so sick of dealing with yeast infections... seriously just want to be done with them scream

Yeah idk I think part of it depends on what you're wearing on bottom but for me I've found going commando at night helps. And I read in many different places that that helps prevent yeast infections/promote vaginal health. Go figure. It seemed to be working for a while at least...

I don't know, but getting it checked out is a good idea.

Hello I took the depo shot on december 14 ,and waited a month before having unprotected sex.i had my period for two weeks last month,and am again having it for more then a week again,me and my boyfriend grew frustrated and had unprotected sex while on my period this time.
So my question is could I get pregnant on my period while on the depo,and I took antibiotics could that have done anything to make the depo not work?
The whole point of depo is you're covered for three months, period or no.
As for the antibiotics, there are some that affect birth control, but not all do. I'm not sure if they affect all hormonal birth control the same. You should always contact your pharmacist or ask your doctor (also good to know, because a lot of antibiotics can cause yeast infections).

Great job best sex ed class i have ever had pirate
InnocentAngelOfDeath
this is a serious concern. not trolling.

basicly i've completely lost my libido and im concerned why as i've always had a rather high labido and now i've just suddenly not no intrest in anything whatsoever sexually related?
i have been stressed can this cause it?
more in detail of it is here
http://thesethoughts.blog.com/2012/02/21/libido-a-la-bye-bye/

any help is appreciated as i am quite concerned?
also i know the pill can affect it but the pill im on i've been on for ovcer a year
Sometimes your hormones on the pill can shift without warning, so it could be that.
Likely though, if you are stressed, it's caused by stress. Animals who feel they are in peril are not quick to mate, and likewise if your body is always receiving negative signals, it's likely not going to want to play.
Lack of sleep and poor diet can also play a part. If you do manage to greatly reduce your stress levels and get back to healthy eating and sleeping patterns and still don't have a sex drive, talk to your doctor about your pill and possibly getting your hormone levels checked.

Maybe it's time to just be blunt. Say "Hey sweetie, of all the things I learned in school, how to put a p***s in my mouth wasn't one of them. I think if we're ever going to have any luck at this I'm going to need some direction."
Or as my roommate said to her ex
"I've never met him face to face, I need an introduction."
