Shaving and hygiene down there...

Guys, going on a weekend away with my girlfriend in two week's time, and with us being in close proximity for longer than usual, I want to make sure I look and feel as fresh as a daisy! So this will be one of a number of questions I'll be asking over the next week or so. However, we have discussed doing sexual stuff (but not sex) for the first time recently, so I thought making sure my bits and pieces were as nice as possible would be a good place to start!
First of all, shaving or getting rid of hair down there. Now a few times I have shaved everything off down there, but I don't like the stubble it leaves and the urge to scratch more! I leave myself natural as I've never got round to doing anything about it, but want to do something about it as I feel it will look better and be more pleasurable for my girlfriend. I don't want to shave everything off, just enough to leave it so that she doesn't have to make an effort to avoid all the hair! So what method would you recommend for hair removal, any particular products and any particular way to do it? I don't want to leave my hair ueven all over the place!
The next thing I wanted to ask is about getting sweaty down there. Now with all parts of your body, if you get sweaty enough, you'll start to smell. Now, I do use soap and shower gel to wash around my cock and balls, but sometimes, even if I'm only walking around the town, I can get sweaty down there, and the same smell is there. I know you're recommended to wash down there before doing anything of an intimate nature, but is there anything else I can wash with or do to avoid the situation of getting overly sweaty or smelly down there? It's nothing really pungent, but I would rather be as sweet smelling as possible!
Finally, I know you're always told to wash underneath your foreskin if you have one, and to wash with an unscented soap or shower gel if you're planning on someone going down on you. What's the best thing to use for cleaning this way, and any tips on making it as clean as possible.
Thanks for any help that you can offer me! :thumb:

Shower often during the day to keep smelling fresh. That should keep all your bits smelling acceptable.
Use a mild liquid soap for your foreskin. If you can stand it, keep your foreskin pulled back in your underwear so that there is no smegma build up.
To be honest, its difficult to advise because everyone is different in how much they sweat etc.
Thanks Teagan. Is it wrong that I thought you might be the first to reply?
Yeah, well, I shower once in the morning. Isn't always practical to do it more than once, but obviously if we were going to do things together, we'd shower.
I'll try the foreskin suggestion. Mild liquid soap-any suggestions of what to look for when I'm in Boots or wherever, next time?
Don't worry about the sweating part, seems enough advice to be getting on with in the mean time! Thanks again.
Its not the sweaty balls smell thats the worst, but the taste/smell of stale piss is going to put most girls off
To be fair, this isn't exactly practical a lot of the time.
What IS practical is that when using a public convenience (or any other), use a cubical and make sure you use some toilet paper to dry any left around the end. The piss doesn't get a chance to dry, and so you're saved from the stale worries.
Just IM me directly next time.
I presumed you that as you were going away with her, that you might have access to a hotel bathroom or similar so that you can have some 'spontaneous' showers. Drag her in with you. Fun!
Try a product like Simple or Dove soap, both available from Boots and other outlets.
Very valid points. Dry the end of your willy off after a pee. I always use a cubicle, wherever possible, to have access for a handy bit of toilet paper to dab the end dry. :yes:
Not normal soap, certainly. I use Simple and its very mild. Never had a problem. But it must be rinsed off properly afterwards.
Yeah, he'll come round and show ya.
Just like you did!
Besides, I'm ill leave me aloneeee!
Ohhhh .. is THAT what they call an anus these days? An IM box? :chin:
But not too ill to give poor Teagan some grief, yeah? :grump:
:yes: Yup, agreed.
I'll try that g_angel, thanks.
Drink lots of pineapple juice, dont eat garlic or lots of fatty foods, and cut down on alcohol. Consume many fruits, and you'll taste as sweet as a cherry pie
