How do you feel about body hair on men? Should some be left or do I get rid of it all?
— John
Yuck! I keep hearing from guy friends that when they’re in locker rooms, they see these young, good-looking guys with full-on, untrimmed hair down there. I mean, is this look coming back or are these guys really that clueless about proper grooming techniques? These are good-looking guys too, so I’m sure they’re hooking up. It baffles me that rather than use the technology we’re blessed with today (electronic clippers) they decide to go caveman on us.
When I’m in the locker room, I see young women with full-on hair down there, too! Personally, that’s not my style. I could never allow myself to completely grow it out. I don’t think it’s fair to the person I’m hooking up with.
But I digress. You’re asking me about all body hair and not just what’s below the belt, right? In that case, it depends. Back hair is a definite no-no. It has to go — ALL of it! Most women are embarrassed to tell their partners that it’s not sexy, so I’m happy to do it for them: It’s not sexy!
As far as arms, legs and armpits — it’s OK to keep a little hair there. But if you have really long strands, trim, baby, trim!
When it comes to your chest and “private parts,” clip the hairs short. Not so short that it’s totally gone, but short enough that you can’t really tell whether you’ve groomed it or you’re just not naturally hairy.
In the end, think about your partner: Do you prefer her to be groomed or unkempt and hairy? Most men prefer us girls to take care of ourselves and stay on top of all that unsightly sprouting. Well, we like the same thing for you too!
What happens when you use a condom that’s the wrong size?

To be blunt: The condom doesn’t work.
If it’s too small, it’s going to break, which puts you at risk for STDs, AIDS and pregnancy. And if it’s too big, it might slip off — most likely inside you — also putting you at risk for STDs, AIDS and pregnancy. So both situations are bad.
Since I don’t know if a guy or girl has asked this question, I’ll tell it straight to both of you.
If you’re a female and carrying condoms in your little bag o’ tricks, carry two different sizes: regular and Magnum. Then, once you’ve “sized up” what you’re dealing with — if he hasn’t already pulled out his own — you can determine which one to use. I also suggest keeping both sizes in your apartment just to be safe.
For the fellas, well, you should know what size you are. And don’t let your ego get in the way of being safe.
If you pull out a Magnum when you really don’t need one, odds are the girl will know you’re playin’ the fool. She’s got eyes, after all! Look, all men can’t be hung like Tommy Lee or a linebacker in the NFL. That’s just not normal. And, frankly, I wouldn’t want something like that anywhere near me.
So just go to the nearest pharmacy and pick yourself up a pack of plain old regular condoms if that’s what fits you best.
Sex is way better enjoyed when it’s not interrupted by a missing or broken piece of contraception!
