I'm going with yes all around - well, trimming, but def not shaving.

EW I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Think of it as...making Saturday a little more, um. Interesting? *g*

[kali1967.livejournal.com]

This is possibly just me but I cannot fathom who anyone could possibly want a razor near their privates. I mean, seriously? Trimming I can understand, but shaving? *shudder*

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

But you'd be surprised how many people -- guys and girls -- do. And not just porn stars, either. For some, think kink is the power play thing--trusting someone that close to very delicate bits with something very sharp. It's done a lot in D/s scenarios.

So far, Jensen's coming the closest to the vast majority thinking 'yes'. I'm kind of amused by that.

i can't even fathom scissors or trimmers down there. gah. i KNOW it's all trendy now to trim or shave or wax, but just NO. goddess gave me hair there, and it's STAYING THERE. i'll just pass on the pain and risk of cuts/nicks/rashes/ingrownhairs taverymuch.

hi, welcome to my issues.

[balefully.livejournal.com]

WELL I HAVE TO SAY. From what we have seen of Sam and Dean's body hair sitch on the show, THEY CERTAINLY LOOK LIKE THEY MUST DO LOTS OF MANSCAPING! But like, actually in-the-real-world type Sam and Dean totally never would, I don't think (Runway!Sammy is pretty obviously a diva about his pubic hair, though). But I like to think in my fic they are perfectly trimmed and neat and clean because I HATE. BODY HAIR. HATE. I want them to be like. TOTALLY SHAVED CLEAN ALL OVER. I LOATHE armpit hair and chest hair, and pubes are okay but they must be NEAT AND CLEAN AND SHORT if they are not like, porno-waxed off. I mind girl pubic hair a lot less than guy pubic hair, for some reason! I would prefer it NOT be shaved down to a weeny little landing strip, actually.

TMI, PROBS, AHAHA.

But yeah, Jared and Jensen? Totally manscape.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

TMI? We don't care, 'round these parts. :) (Dude, I've had a baby. There's probably nothing you can say that's going to weird me out.)

See, I love the whole armpit thing (though weirdly, I'm just as fascinated/turned on by guys who shave their pits as I am by guys who don't. Go figure). Chest hair...it depends on the guy. Jared and Jensen...I think I'd want them clean and smooth. *g* JDM, on the other hand? Totally needs some chest hair. But I also like JDM with a beard -- like he had in Shadow. Though, well, I like Jensen with a beard/goatee. And Jared(Sam)'s sideburns.

Um. Got off topic, sorry!

I like pubic hair on girls, otherwise it makes me think too much of pre-pubescent and that is just icky. On guys... trimmed is okay. I don't care so much for totally shaved, all the time (though ohmygod, I really kind of now want to write Sam shaving Dean. ARGH.)

[balefully.livejournal.com]

I do not care for facial hair at all, either. I don't think there's ANYONE on whom having facial hair is more attractive than not. I don't think it suits Jensen OR JDM, though I am kind of ambivalent about JDM anyway because he's old and reminds me of my dad. ;)!

Jared-and-Sam's sideburns, however, FUEL THE FIRE OF MY LOINS. *____*! So ridiculously sexy, I do not even know. Holy crap.

And if you wrote shaving fic, I would DIE. I LOVE shaving-as-kink, espesh if it's with characters like Sam and Dean where's it's even more of a vulnerability/trust thing because no one else will EVER get that close to them and they will NEVER be able to trust other people like they do each other. Mmm, clean-shaven...

Hooker!Jensen was totally clean-shaven in that hookerfic I wrote, and I may possibly have a few future SCENES in my head where he has Jared help him out with his grooming upkeep...;)!

[cormallen.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, if you wrote shaving fic, I'd... I don't know what I'd do. Be your adoring servant for ever and ever if I didn't explode, probably.

[azephirin.livejournal.com]

I really kind of now want to write Sam shaving Dean

O HAI YES PLS

*is not helping*

[nomelon.livejournal.com]

I am laughing at myself for putting as much thought as I did into the answers. :D I'd go for trimming over shaving. But you never know. Those boys look smoooooooth. Hmmm.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I love your icon. Very apropos *g* And yeah, I know. *facepalm* I've done polls now on cut/uncut, shaving, um. Hmm. Probably other weird fetish-type things. Up next, piercings? *eg* *pauses to think about Sam and/or Jared with a big PA, fucking Dean / Jensen* *swoons*

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

clippers are the way forward. I'd personally rather not think about any man's pubes, but if forced, I am sure I'd rather they be shorter than long and dangly. *gags*

On women, I prefer the normal full triangle shape, but maybe not as long as would grow naturally on some people. I'd rather have full bush than landing strip or hitler mustache though. As I have no idea what guys even look like with pubes as I've only ever seen newborn babies and porn stars, I'm not sure what my answer for guys is.

As for Sam and Dean, I think Sam trimmed when he was with Jess, but now he doesn't bother, cos Dean kind of likes him with something to grab onto, and Dean trims because he has since he hit puberty and the first girl to give him a BJ sneezed and almost bit his dick off cos she got pubes up her nose.

Jared and Jensen clearly wax/shave/trim/generally groom.

[thehighwaywoman.livejournal.com]

*giggling* What an awesome poll! I voted "no" on Sam and Dean, though I'm undecided about Dean. Using the logic of not shaving legs if one's just having a night to themselves, I figured Sam would probably keep it nice and tidy if he had a regular partner, but on his own probably wouldn't focus much on the question. :) Jared? Definitely. Jensen? Probably.

And now I am going to the special hell for my serious consideration of this issue :D

[apetslife.livejournal.com]

THEY'RE WORKING FOR THE MANSCAPERS!

[lemmealone.livejournal.com]

It is my personal canon that when Dean gave Sam the Talk, he taught his brother that if he's going to be inviting girls down there it's only polite to trim the hedges. *beams*

[linda3m.livejournal.com]

Sam trims his. Dean trims his and uses styling product.

[leighm.livejournal.com]

I'm not quite sure how to answer. I can see Sam and Dean not caring as much bc they're mostly with each other and I don't think guys care unless they were with someone on a regular basis.

Jared and Jensen-I think they definitely trim it up. That's a very good possibility, IMO. You can tell they shave what they have off they're chests and necks. I don't think they're just really hairy guys but they do shave.

I don't like facial hair on Jared but I do on Jensen.

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

With the amount of time Dean spends in the shower and how much he enjoys it, I'm sure he does lots and lots of grooming.

[cormallen.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey, but where are the "Evil!Dean shaves/trims" and "Evil!Sam shaves/trims" questions? Cause this guy? *points at icon* This guy's definitely a manscaper.
Anyway, Kim, this is a very important topic, for sure *g*
I'm pretty sure waxing or some other hair removal method is involved as far as Jared and Jensen are concerned. I think Sam doesn't care. I think Dean trims from time to time - partly because he is into grooming, as evidenced by his hair product use and his love of showers (and partly cause he believes it makes the goods look bigger).

Edit: Evil!Ducky is a waxer. Enjoy :)

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

In my mind, they all keep it nice and trim;)

[als-wonderland.livejournal.com]

Oh, honestly, to trim/shave is just polite. And, it favors a "yes, Indeedy" response to the question of "Would you like to taste again?"

And thank you for posting this. Nothing like waking up and having the first serious thought of the day involving naked men. ;)

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA! I just had the most fun trying to imagine each of them sitting there looking at their private parts, while holding a pair of scissors. Thanks for that!
