I totally get where you're coming from—body grooming can be a bit of a balancing act, especially as we get older. I'm in my 40s now, and I’ve been experimenting with different grooming techniques for a while. I used to have a pretty hairy chest and legs, but over the years, the hair on my legs has thinned out naturally, much like yours. As for my back, I’ve always had some back hair, and my wife wasn’t really a fan either. It wasn’t a huge issue at first, but after some conversations, I started trimming it more regularly, and I have to admit, I feel a lot cleaner and more confident.
Regarding the idea of going completely smooth, I think it really depends on how much time and effort you’re willing to invest. I’ve tried waxing in the past, and while the results were great at first, it was a bit too much maintenance for me. Shaving was much simpler, but you have to be cautious about irritation, especially in more sensitive areas. The idea of going smooth was appealing at first because I thought it would feel more hygienic and fresh, but after trying it for a while, I realized it didn’t necessarily make me feel any different—just a bit more maintenance.
For me, it comes down to what feels right for you and your partner. If your wife prefers less back hair and you're comfortable with the idea of going smooth, it could be worth the effort. But, if it feels like more work than it’s worth, there’s no shame in just trimming and maintaining what you’re comfortable with. Body grooming should make you feel good, not like a chore. Ultimately, it’s about what works best for you.
As for maintenance, I’ve found that using a good body groomer or trimmer makes life a lot easier. A good one can handle sensitive areas without irritation, and I find I don’t need to do it as often as I thought I would. If you're interested in trying waxing or something more permanent, just make sure you’re prepared for the upkeep. The key is to keep it simple and listen to your body and your partner’s needs.
