Why shave your pubic area? Well, there are a myriad of reasons to, but for me it's all about improved feel. Whether you're masturbating alone or having sex with a partner, being shaved can dramatically change the feel. You really do get different contact without hair in the way. There's more skin-on-skin connection, and that's always a good thing.

Besides the feel, often men want to show off their genitals in full view—minus the fuzz. Besides, shaving makes your member look bigger. Without your pubes, an extra two inches of your meat is exposed. A clean crotch is also very tempting for a nice blowjob. Finally, shaving itself can be a highly erotic act if you share the experience with your partner.

What do you need? For starters, it depends whether you want a complete shave or just a trim. Both have benefits and drawbacks. A complete shave gets you more visibility and the most skin exposure, but can take more time and tends to be a little more itchy when it grows back. A trim gets you less exposure but can be easier and faster to do. Personally, I've always felt that a complete shave makes me look a little too boyish, while treating my pubic area to a neat trim is a bit more manly. On the other hand, plenty of porn stars go completely shaved, and it's pretty clearly they're manly men, so I guess it's up to you.
