I'm in my late 40's & didn't have this problem until well into my 30's when I was dating a much younger woman who asked if I would shave my scrotum. I would only pluck or shave on occasion, but over time the hair growth slowly advanced up the shaft about half way (4" +/-). Not sure if shaving made the growth more coarse, but my age certainly has changed hair growth in different areas.
After a broken heart I stayed fairly sexually inactive for the last 3 years (though libido remains high). & now want to date & have the option for sex, but really tired of having to pre-plan a shave or plucking as I am not out all the time looking to get sex, it will just 'happen'.
I'm pretty self conscious about this as it seems so unattractive & does affect stimulation for both.
Soooo... tomorrow night I have an consultation at a local laser clinic. Not too keen to bear it all to either a woman or a man to sit and stare at it for no other reason...... but guess that is what it takes.
They said on the phone that they are offering several 'deals' like $300 discount and/or get treatment for a second area free.
One hesitation I have is reading that laser doesnt work on light color hair & well, lets just say that my hair is salt and pepper.

Had a laugh wondering if I should dye my hair for the occasion.

Hi, uhm ive been dealing with this problem for little over two years now, and am worried about trying laser treatment, someone who has had laser done please comment!

Also i find the best thing to do is not to tweeze when you know your going to have sex, and if not, then just to cut them back a little using a pair of clean scissors, best done after a shower/bath

I think everyone might have skipped over Charlie's post on 3/8/10 regarding the "body groomer" from Norelco he bought. I did some research online and heard good things so I coughed up the $. Compared to what some people are spending its pretty low... I know its not permanent but Ive been using a razor and its... dangerous I guess you could say and the effects aren't always good with bumps and whatnot. I got my Norelco TT2030 today and kind of like a kid at xmas... tore that box open and immediately went to "play" with my new toy. It was already charged too?!? Batteries aren't needed either. Anyway my penis hasn't looked or felt this good to the touch... ever? Its not irritating and not dangerous like a razor. Its a great trimmer too has a changeable head and some attachments which I've been needing for my face anyway. I honestly feel like I've turned... a weird but personally important page over in my life. I always considered shavers to be facial hair tools but I would recommend a good quality "sensitive body zone" trimmer/groomer to anyone! THANKS CHARLIE!!!

I'm 14 and my penis is 9 cm long. Is that normal? I also want to know when a lot of hair will start to grow on it.

No probs mr b, glad to have helped! To anyone else interested, please do read up a bit on the tt2030 since it really is worth getting one!

i also have this problem i am nearly 18 and apparently i was told by an older frend that 'rubbing' of skin near any hair creates hair to grow on the surrounding area and therefore i was led to believe that excessive masturbation was the cause of this problem.

I have the bumps and the hair as well, and have been tweezing. A light behind the penis makes the hairs more visible, when looking down. Tweezing so far has had no affect on the number of bumps.

Hey

Yeah I have the same problem, hair growing up to the head and it sucks like hell to happen. Thankfully I stumbled upon the answer. Yes. Tweezers are the solution, you see the hair that unfortunately grow there have deep roots so you have to pull it right out with hurts like a b*tch so I'd advise using EMLA cream, a local anaesthetic cream so it doesn't hurt for the next week or so.

to "youllbeok" you rock man

to those seeking more info heres what i found

shaving sux - it can cut u; it does feel like theyre growing faster; and its hard to get a close clean* shave, like on ur face u can get left with rough hair and try too hard and cut yourself again. scabs on dik - very sexy

removal cream aka vaginl hair cream - didnt really work, some came off some didnt i wonder how well it works for girls anyway; scary chemical odder and on the box itsays "dont wait more than 11 minutes!!!"which isnt enough time these hairs are tough.. if it did work for you lemme know

lazer/electro - good luck finding a cosmetologist who'll agree to do that... hehe [i can laugh cuz i tried] or a lazer company that'll insure such process BESIDES as good as it may sound accidents happen and ull have to put your dik on the line once a 1-2 weeks to get zapped i want total guarantee for this humiliation
you need to shed more light on this!

plucking/tweezers - only way i cope. its fun, doesnt hurt much and leaves the skin soft. do it regural and no one will notice; but know this it can lead to some hairs growing under the skin, usualy u can see it through akin or it forms a zit with just the tip sticking out
but u can solve it with more plucking - be careful dont hurt yourself

thats all i can tell

youll be fine

same thing here. im pist why did the doctors take off so much skin when i was circumsized like what the f#*k. its not that bad but i have a big patch of hair at the base that i dread plucking with a tweezer so i shave it and it does irratate my girlfriend while having sex i hate it i just wanna pleasure her not irrate her. and some hair that i pluck on the shaft it seems like it irratates the follicle and cause it to bump up. Im thinking about waxing some areas and in the future maybe laser but i feel like it would be kind of awkward lol. But guys if u do have this dont let it ruin your sex life just keep it nicely trimmed and PLUCKED! and no girl will say anything.

Hi!

I'm 20, I noticed that hair is growing on my penis when I was around 12 or 13. I started shaving around 16, because there was a relatively small amount of hair on it. But they started spreading, and unfortunately they still are (I don't know if it is because of shaving, but I doubt it, because on my face I don't have a lot of hair/beard, as though someone would misplace a part of my hair, heh). Thus I started plucking, but know there are so many that it is really time consuming.

I have two basic plucking &shaving strategies:
1.) Pluck weekly, tend to pluck all the hair at once. I shave daily "the leftovers". I try not to shave for at least 24h before plucking, though the more the better, because the longer the hair is, the easier it is to pluck it.
+After the plucking it looks normal
+Don't have to worry about it more than once a week
-After about 4 days when the hair starts growing back it is a catastrophe, you can't really pluck them, because they are still to short, some are still under skin or at skin level and you can't really shave them effectively (same reasons).

2.) Pluck daily, shave daily. Pluck just before shaving, so that there is a max time span between shaving (the day before) and plucking.
+All the time it looks relatively normal, as there is only 1/7 of hair on your penis at the time
-You have to take care about it daily.

I shave daily during showering, so far had no problems.

Plucking hurts a lot in the beginning, but you get used to it very fast, in a month or two you won't feel any pain. I personally enjoy plucking, because I enjoy the feeling of a hair getting out of my penis, because it is really uncomfortable when it is in it, and it just feels so good when it is removed.
Also use your other hand/fingers to manipulate the skin so that the hair "pops out", it will make plucking far easier and faster, also you can pluck extremely short hair, sometimes even hair that normally is still under skin.

I have noticed that plucking made hair less thick and less dark. Though personally I don't know if that makes me happy, because it is till there, it is just harder to pluck.

I wrote about my schedule, because that is the way my hair grows, if your hair grows faster/slower, just pluck them when they are long enough, then shave till all/some (depends on the strategy) are long enough (have normally breached the skin), you can then still shave for a day or two if you want to minimize the time span between not shaving and plucking.

I want it completely removed, I thought about laser and electrolysis, I intended to raise money for that soon, but now you guys say that it doesn't really work. Thus I'm going to try some alternatives, but for now I have/had much more serious problems with my overall health, so I don't really have time for this, even plucking is taking way too much time. (Though if I don't shave for about two days before plucking I can get them all out in about an hour and believe me there is a hell of a lot of them).

Good luck to all of you, please post your solutions, especially if they are effective.

hi, i have been plucking hair off my penis shaft for about two years.. i find it comfortable.... it has become as a daily routine... my girlfriend doesn't even notice anything... so im happy... maybe in the future i would be able to remove it permanently.. but i believe that plucking will reduce a bit of hair growth

As you age (mature?) you'll get used to it. I'm 70 and have had to shave my penis my entire adult life. There are worse things in life. For example, what if you had a small penis, say four inches erect, and all anyone could see was hair. Get over it and enjoy what God gave you. If it gets hard, ejaculates and makes you feel good, ENJOY!
