Shaving (this one has the "gutter" possibility)

/Boys have a Penis, Girls have a Vagina.

In my mind is replaying an episode of King of the Hill, maybe even the pilot. Peggy has to teach a sex ed class, she's standing in the bathroom going "Happiness". "Ha... Penis". "Penis.". It switches to an outside scene and you hear Penny yell loudly "Vaaaa-GINA!"

"I used Rick's scissors in the bathroom to perfect certain things and I guess I should have asked him first.  When I told him I was using them he said, "yuk I use those to trim my nose hairs".    It's a good thing I used to perfect my shapes before a shower and not after! "

now that is TMI

Nevermind, I messed up the whole thing that happened anyway.     After telling Rick about this post he reminded me that his scissors I was using were to trim his mustache hair not his nose hairs.  So it's not as gross as I thought it was, thank goodness!   

Yeah.  He's going along trimming his beard and he gets to his nose and doesn't trim his nose hairs.  Ask him to show you his nose hair sissors

Do you think he's lying to me?  The bastard!     I'd rather not ask him right now he's being a grouch because I asked him to help me de-clutter 2 rooms in the house.    Besides I think I like his "version" of what happened better than what I remember being said.

Is it me, or if you read between the lines it seems Raineys mustachioed SO has not been exploring south of the Equator.

One problem with body hair is that it has a tendency to retain odors, so some areas that get smelly from time to time would be better off being hairless.  Also, bare skin is easier to clean than hair, so areas that get liquids other than water on them would usually be better off being hairless.  Butt crack hair is undesirable because of its ability to damage and retain cheap toilet paper, creating what some call dingleberries.  Electrolysis or laser hair removal are preferred over shaving because they lack stubble, which can be especially abrasive when it's short.  In those areas where hair is undesirable, if it is not removed completely or shaved off, it would be good to trim it to around 3/8" to make it easier to clean, not abrasive as hair that was shaved a couple days prior, and not as voluminous as uncut hair.

I've never thought of it so precisely before but how would anyone know if they trimmed it to around 3/8 of an inch?   I tried to use an electrolysis thing on my eyebrows when I was younger and ouch it hurt!  It felt like I was being burned.

I love your butt crack assessment, get it "ass"essment? 

Well, you don't have to measure it.  If it looks like it is between 1/4" and 3/4", it's probably close enough.  In some areas you can use clippers with a guard that gives you a certain length.  When my children were younger, I used clippers with a guard to trim my chest hairs so that they couldn't pull them as easily.  I still shave my neck hair out of habit.  Sometimes it was the first thing the children would grab for when I would pick them up.  Other areas can be more challenging to trim, but it's not important enough to get stressed over.  Of course, some areas are difficult to trim yourself because of their location.
