I’m in my late 40s and have gone through my own grooming journey as well. Like you, my body hair has changed over time. I’ve always had a fair amount of chest and back hair, but as I’ve gotten older, I noticed less hair on my legs and arms, which is interesting. My wife has never liked the back hair, so I’ve kept it trimmed for a while now. I’ve even thought about going smooth, especially after reading more about how it could make me feel cleaner. But, I’ve always hesitated because of the upkeep involved.
Honestly, I think it depends on how much time and effort you’re willing to invest. I’ve done the whole shaving thing, and it’s a lot of maintenance. Waxing works, but it’s painful, and I’ve never been a fan of the aftercare. So, I’ve stuck to trimming for the most part. It’s a low-maintenance option that still keeps things neat and presentable. Plus, I’ve found that a good trimmer can do a great job without causing irritation, especially when I use a bit of lotion after.
That being said, I do understand the appeal of going completely smooth. It can feel fresh and clean, and if that’s something your partner enjoys, then it could be worth the effort. But don’t feel pressured to do it if it’s not something that genuinely excites you. Grooming should be a personal choice—something that makes you feel confident. If you’re unsure, maybe try smoothing out smaller areas like your chest or legs first, and then decide if
