two quick questions

[sweet_kelly_kis]

how long does it take for the hair to grow back to its normal length (or at least so its not obvious its shaved) if i was to shave myself?

and what can i use for lube? i mean i dont wanna go out and buy anything (far too embarrased) is there anything id have lying around the house thatd do the trick?

Hmm... bout the hair... I'm not sure. Maybe about a week or week and a half or more? Not too long I would think.

As for the lube.... what are your plans to use it for? If it's for masturbation, lotion would work, or maybe baby oil? As for sex, definitely get the professional kind because if you don't it might be irritating or break down the latex in condoms.

Everyone's hair grows at a different rate -- i.e. some men have a noticeable "five o'clock shadow" and others can go a week between shaves.

You can get a rough estimate of how long your pubic hair will take to grow back by how long you can go between haircuts (or how long your hair grows between cuts.) Your pubic hair will grow back at about the same rate as the trimmed areas of your haircut do (where they shave at the back of the neck or sides to shape your hairline.)

Vaseline is a suitable lube as long as you're not using condoms or latex toys -- it will cause latex and some other types of rubber to degrade.

However, buying KY jelly or a similar generic product shouldn't be any more embarassing than buying tampons or other "feminine hygeine" products -- actually, less embarassing because it has uses other than sex, while tampons or douches only have pretty much one use.

I can see where buying "Uncle John's Hot Butt Slicky" or something similar might be a cause for embarassment, but mostly because of the stupid names they have.

It depends on the person...

Mine grows back completely in 2-4 weeks (not that I let it very often). Everyone is different. As for lube...just go out and buy some real stuff...like someone posted before, it is no different from buying tampons and pads (lol). I think the checkout people see more of this and don't really care what the heck you are buying. Good luck.

Another idea for the lube if you're really embarassed...although I agree it's no big deal to buy it...don't need a sex shop just go to your friendly drug store...is to purchase it off the internet. All the companies pretty much use discreet packaging.

On the lube, I do much agree, get some ky at your local drugstore, buy other things with it, box of tampons, jug of milk, tube of ky. Trust me they sell enough of it they won't give it a second thought. On the hair, it takes me about a month before you couldn't tell if I had shaved.

"Uncle John's Hot Butt Slicky" That's pretty fucking funny. thx for the chuckle. I don't have an uncle john, but that's still pretty funny.

Who here's got an uncle john?

Moisturiser seems to work pretty well, after sun/suntan lotion, some "gentle" soaps (depending on where you intend using it, test first, some of em irritate like hell), olive oil, butter/margarine, vaseline.

Most of the above will rot a condom in seconds though. If you are using condoms personally I'd suggest ordering some proper lube over the net if you really cant face buying it in a store (though there is some fun to be had winding up the sales staff if you want).

My hair grew back in about a week, at least to a length that I would consider "hair" and not just bristly hair.

It's funny, other people had said that they couldn't stand the feeling of it growing back, but I kind of liked it, it was like constant stimulation on my crotch. I don't wear underwear, so maybe that made the difference.

As far as lube goes, I'd like to throw my support behind the Uncle John's Hot Butt Slicky, if only for the fact that the name is so ridiculous that the product must be good, I mean, that name can't be good for impulse buying.

Do not use Vasaline , or you could get vaginitis or yeast infection!

I have an Uncle John, and a brother John, so, my son has an Uncle John also. Brother John can be an asshole, so maybe this is his invention! Lol!

there really shouldn't be any embarrasment in purchasing lube. Personally my theory has always been if you're ashamed to buy the accessories don't try on the outfit ya know? Half the time the sales staff isn't really paying any attention to the purchases anyway. You can pick up KY jelly at any grocery store, so it's not as if you'll have to go wandering into " Fantastic Fuckorama" and asking to be directed past the blow up sheep to the lube section. KY is a reputable , quality lube and should do for whatever you need.

as for the hair...it varies from person to person, for me it takes only a day or two before I start to regrow hair in the pubic areas, but you may have better luck then I do.

I cant really argue with mstrkey. I am not the worlds most confident person. When I let my fears about this, that, or the other, which "people" might look at me funny about, rule my life; which I still do from time to time, then I find that I enjoy myself a lot less, and I put myself through a lot more discomfort than I should.

I've broken bones doing sports by not asserting myself and believing in my own ability. I've improvised "toys" by being afraid of what someone I will never see again might think of me and I've let it ruin relationships by being too afraid. Dont. I know its easy to say, today I backed down from something I wanted to do but was afraid someone, somewhere would know exactly what was I planning in the dark, fun, recesses of my mind (within the bounds of "normal" here, its fine, dont worry).

Equally I've stood in a chemist and watched a knock-out lass go over to the counter buy a huge pack of condoms and a big tube of lube and smile sweetly at the assistant as she hands over the money and walk out again, bold as brass. And the only thing that went through my mind at the time was "wow, wish I could do that." Funny thing is, I can. And do.

LOL...

On the other hand, I've been looking for a blow up sheep to amuse Mr. Bobsgirl....

 

[Sybarist]

Do you think they sell "Uncle John's Hot Butt Slicky" at the " Fantastic Fuckorama"???

I'd go with KY Jelly as well, buying lubrication sure beats dealing with any problems using the wrong alternative choice may bring! **OUCH!! ** Heck they even have KY that heats up now for the extra sensation!! Who doesn't want to try that??
