At 53, I’ve been through all kinds of hair grooming phases. When I was younger, I didn’t think much about body hair—just a quick shave here and there, and that was it. But as I’ve gotten older, the body hair thing has changed for me. Like you, my legs have gotten a lot smoother over time, but my back hair has stayed the same, and it can be a bit much. My wife’s not a fan of it, so I’ve been trimming it regularly, and it’s made a difference in how I feel. I’ve even thought about going smooth, but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort yet.
What I’ve realized is that the grooming thing is less about fitting some ideal and more about making sure I’m comfortable and that my wife’s happy with how I look. I think going smooth could feel really freeing, but there’s a certain amount of maintenance that comes with it. I’ve tried waxing in the past, and while it gives great results, the pain and the upkeep aren’t something I want to deal with all the time. Plus, I’ve had some irritation issues afterward, which just wasn’t worth it for me.
I’ve settled into a routine of trimming and keeping my chest and back hair in check. I do it every couple of weeks, and it’s a good balance between looking presentable and not putting in too much work. I think the key is to find what feels good for you. If the idea of being smooth all over excites you, then go for it! But if it feels like too much of a hassle, there’s no harm in keeping things manageable with a trimmer.
Ultimately, it’s about how you feel about yourself and what makes you comfortable. You can talk to your partner about it, but it’s also something that requires you to feel confident in your own skin. If you’re unsure, maybe start with smaller changes—like just trimming your back more regularly—and see how it goes from there. It’s all about finding the right level of grooming that works for you both.
