Shave his back for him? Have you done it? How do you feel about that?? LOL
I prefer my hubs to have/keep all the hair on his chest and back (there is Not an over abundance, its not creeping up out of the collar of his shirts-EWW lol) but he feels more 'confident' and 'comfortable' with it shaved. Hell he's even asked me to use the Nair on his back once. Of course I did it, it Honestly doesn't phase me to do it BUT I do keep making the gagging face and sound while I do it, Cause I know it pisses him off !! LOL so have you ?

What can I do next?

*AmandaG -LOL I'd love to 'torture' him w/ some plucking ;-) LOL

*mommyof 1 - I mean if we can't "afford" for me to go the the salon to get my legs etc waxed -then NOPE he's not going either.

I do it for my husband about once a week in the summer and about once a couple of months in the winter. No big deal!

answers from Toledo on

My husband asked once. I refused. Not becaus of a gross factor or anything. He showers at 5 am everyday and that is when he does all of his "grooming." I'm not about to start shaving him in the shower every morning, only to move on to my four children who need constant help and attention. I would have to do it every day or it would irritate me, because ALL of his hair grows super fast, so he would be all stubbly if I skipped even one day. I would not be ok with my legs wrapped around a stubbly back ;)

My Ex has asked me to shave every big of hair on him, and I mean every last strand. I helped him, because I don't find anything like that gross and it made him happy. c: I enjoy spoiling the people I'm with, and if they don't feel comfortable with something as silly as some hair, I'll do what I can.

Mind you it took me over an hour. XD;;

No, he hasn't.
I would do it if he wanted it done, I guess--but would know it's a commitment because once it's shaved....

He does ask me to use a razor & shaving cream on his neck in the back, between haircuts and I loathe that feeling of the razor on his skin. Gives me the heebie jeebies every...single...time!

Yup - I've done it. And I know lots of women who have, too.

I would absolutely have him get it waxed. What does your not waxing have to do with him?

My husband does not have hair on his back, but I have waxed his chest before! Neither of us are fans of body hair (so gross). He doesn't have a ton, but enough to make us both feel better about it not being there hahaha.

My husband? Nope.

But I've taen my brother waxing! After 1 time, he was hooked. In part, i'm sure that it lasting 2-3 months had something to do with it.

answers from Redding on

Oh my gosh. I have joked so many times about my ex-husband by saying, "Kids, this year, I think we'll get your dad a back waxing kit for Father's Day."
He's not a complete gorilla, but he could use a good waxing, in my opinion.

Waxing is actually better than shaving because then you don't have the true stubble when the hair starts growing back in.
If he likes a bare back, why don't you just let him get it waxed? It doesn't have to be done often.
Some women really like hairy men, but I prefer them not to be too hairy.

answers from Orlando on

If you like it -- tell him you "love" him with it. If he still wants it removed, shave it for him. It might be uncomfortable coming back in though and tell him it may come in thicker and darker. I'm the same way with you on waxing. Well, I can't afford to go to the salon for waxing so I shave. You could always try waxing his back yourself even though it would probably take quite a while but use the strips if you do.

answers from Springfield on

My husband just has a few stray hairs on his back. I pluck them occasionally but he doesn't seem particularly bothered by them. My teenage son has a unibrow and I take him to the nail place up the street and get it waxed. We started doing that 2 years ago when he became bothered by it. He goes once a month or so. At $5 a trip it seems a small price to pay for his self esteem. My husband shaves his everyday and I wanted our son to have a better option.

Lol!!

If he asked me to, I would, yes. He has asked me to shave his head before and according to him, I hurt him. So, he probably wouldn't ask me to touch his back. My husband doesn't care how hairy he is. Not sure if that is good or bad.

You could also suggest laser treatments... they can be pricey but so is buying razors. Works great but painful... my ob/gyn has someone in their office who was quite reasonable.

To each their own but how comfortable would you feel if you did not shave for a few weeks?

In the USA... men are hairless.
They de-hair themselves. Who knows who does it.
Even the celebrities... gee, the men have NO hair.

In Europe, men have hair. The way they are born with and naturally.
Here, men don't have hair.
Who knows where it goes.

But culturally or what is presently perceived as 'attractive' is that Men have no hair.

yah, I do that for my Husband. He has hair. As many men do. Not a ton, but yah, normal body hair.
To each his own.
Some women are hairy too, and so we get waxed.

Regionally, Men have hair or not.
It is interesting....
because in some cultures/ethnicities, men just have hair.

Yeah, I shave his back for him on occasion. He likes it shaved when he works out at the gym. It feels more comfortable. I don't mind. Actually, we usually laugh about it.
