Do not shave it... like they said it burns when it starts growing in, trim the area and it will be fine...

Now you have to be careful with the nutsack and wang. Simply running razor over it is asking for nicks and cuts. And you most definately do not want to get cut there! So stretch 'em out so they're taut and then shave. And I also started shaving my pits freshman year. I wore a lot of tank tops and it always looked like I had two guys in headlocks under my arms. You do smell a lot less because hair (on any part of your body) traps in your body oils and is great for bacterial growth.

Actually I once toyed with the idea of altering the flora that sprouts around the palm. I too thought a trim might just gussy things up and make the shorts fit a tad more comfortable. So I tried it once. The shrubbery was not happy. Kicked up such a fuss, I fidgeted and squirmed the first ride out. No, high and tight was not going to work. Besides, my wife asked where I had been recently. She mentioned something about it looked like I was having a battle with some crustaceans. And if I was, would a matchbox hold my clothes? So in order to bring some calm to the palm and save my marriage, I let the bushes grow back.

But I still wanted to bring some civility and order to the lower region. I thought about what might work. And then I remembered once long ago in times best forgotten, I sported the long hair hippie look. Wore my hair down to almost my waist. And the only thing that kept my freak flag under control was to braid it. "Aha", I thought. After much experimentation and awkward and clumsy attempts, I finally mastered the art of the "Treeway Braid". Nothing dresses up a parade ground like a couple of nice hedges wrapped around the ole flagpole. Just don't get one of em caught in your zipper.

If this isn't just a tall tale, surely you will post photographs to illustrate? It sounds like a completed May-pole (photo: may-pole dancers), which would be prohibited in some states as flaunting decoration against nature (flagrante delicto).

I would never yank anyone's chain. Life is way too serious to do that. As to prohibition of decoration, well, Acton just recently passed a height limit ordinance, nothing taller than 2 1/2 stories without a variance. I received mine just last week.
