like a professional stylist to straighten the hair, then trim it off. Stand back and admire your handiwork. Since this should result in less chafing during sex, why not reverse roles and let him give you a light trim, too?
Sometimes even the best trim can look a bit out of place if his entire midsection is hairy. You can blend your trim into the surrounding hair by gliding a double- or triple-edged razor ⅛-inch above his skin. Keep rinsing the blade as soon as it clogs with hair, and use your best artistic sense to feather your work into his outlying areas.
The Clean Shave
For the truly naked look, you can shave everything—base, balls, shaft and butt—right down to his soft smooth skin. Here’s how.
Start him off with a light trim (see above), but swoop in closer for a crew-cut. Now ease him into a hot relaxing bath or shower to help set up the hair follicles for smoother shaving. Towel him off from head to toe, stopping for a loving pat-dry in the middle. Now apply plenty of a moisturizing, low-or-no foam shaving product, and wait several minutes for everything to soften.
With a fresh cartridge in the safety razor, you’re ready to begin:
Use a light touch. No need for a lot of pressure on the razor’s handle—it doesn’t give a closer shave and it can be extra irritating. If the razor starts to drag, click in a fresh cartridge.
Shave around the base. Try to minimize the number of passes with the razor. First shave with the grain (the direction the hair grows), then against the grain. Keep rinsing the blade in warm water.
Shave the balls. For a smooth, lickable scrotum, the skin should be hanging loose, not withdrawn and frightened. Use your fingertips to gently stretch the skin down, creating a smooth, taut surface that the blade can glide across easily.Apply the light-touch rule above. Do not rush!
Shave the shaft. Start the blade where the hair begins, and use long, light, strokes to shave in the direction the hair grows.
Shave between the cheeks. After a good trimming, carefully glide the razor from the center outward, toward his cheeks. Never shave up, down or inward.
Ouch! If you’re careful, and your blade stays sharp, he shouldn’t get nicked. But if he does, press a tissue firmly against the nick for a couple minutes till it clots. Then apply aloe vera gel.
The grand finale. Carefully rinse everything with warm water and pat dry. Apply a non-stinging, alcohol- and fragrance-free, hypoallergenic aftershave balm or gel to soothe and moisturize—but hold off on this till later if you’re about to have sex.
Reduce stubble and itching. His hair will immediately begin to grow back, along with the irresistible need to scratch himself in public. Shave again to reduce itching, keep reapplying lotion, and assure him the itching will decrease over time. V

Slippery Stuff
I ’m always curious when a woman tells me she’s never used a sex lubricant—or gave up after a ho-hum experience with just one. She doesn’t know what she’s missing!
A good lube is essential for great handjobs and good sex. It’ll do more than prevent chafing and irritation—it’ll actually “wake up” pleasure receptors in your skin.Touch that feels good before lube feels more alive the instant you apply it. I don’t know how any guy could stand a handjob without it!
Good lubes are so widely available, it’s easy to find the right one for you and your guy. Look in drugstores and supermarkets near the condoms or feminine-protection sections, and in sex toy stores and lingerie boutiques. Or just go online.
But don’t be intimidated by the choices—lightweight, heavyweight, ultra-thick, water-, silicone-, oil-based, flavored, natural. I’m here to help glide you down the pleasure path to figure out which one you can start slathering all over your guy’s penis, your toys, and each other. C’ mon!
