Kink Spotlight: Men Shaving

Whoever invented the razor also needs to be credited for inspiring the fetish for men shaving their faces. Though they would need to be co-credited with whoever invented the other things tied to that fetish, which seem to be archetypes about masculinity and the general intimacy of someone seeing what someone else does in the bathroom.

Before five-bladed razors and of course before electric razors, guys must have shaved with some sideways application of a handcrafted metal knife. And then shaving cream came along probably at first in the form of soap. And super sexy bathrooms were wherever someone went to the super sexy bathroom (likely separate from where someone super sexy bathed and super sexy washed).

Though aloe is a plant and maybe thousands of years ago people used its gel as a skin soother for shaving. And someone stared at them as they did it and got fixated and aroused. I seem to have lost my video recording from thousands of years ago but I'm sure I'm right.

But kinks change over time and the whole mystique around facial hair to begin with, as well as the semi-private ritual of shaving (sometimes done in locker rooms and other places with large group bathrooms), also gets its power from Hollywood (think a hunky working class guy or effete and elite guy shaving in a black and white movie) and print and TV ads (for razors, shaving cream and aftershave over several generations of style).

The actual experience of shaving one's face is more of a tedious chore, so if you need a way to liven that up, find yourself a guy who gets super turned on and will uncontrollably masturbate to the sight of you shaving. You can get him a little stool in the corner of your bathroom and think of him as a room accent. And like any bathroom makeover, expect it to add sizable equity to the value of your home.
