Manscaping 101: Grooming Tips for Modern Men

It’s time to trim the hedges—literally. Whether you’re on camera, at the beach, or just want to feel more confident, proper grooming can elevate your appearance and hygiene. In this guide, we’ll cover manscaping from head to toe—what to trim, what to avoid, and how to do it safely.

Why Grooming Matters

When Stirling first entered the adult film industry, he thought he had to be smooth and hairless. Turns out, fans often prefer a natural look. Still, he picked up essential grooming tips over the years—here’s what he recommends.

Armpit Hair: Trim, Don’t Shave

Trimming armpit hair:

  • Reduces sweat and odor
  • Prevents long stray hairs from peeking out during topless moments
  • Keeps your appearance clean without full shaving

Use a basic beard or hair trimmer to tidy things up without risking nicks.

Chest & Stomach Hair: Balance and Taper

If you’re trimming chest and stomach hair:

  • Go all in or keep it even—partial shaving looks awkward
  • If trimming, taper from chest to pubic area using clipper guards
  • Gradual fade creates a cleaner, intentional look

Avoid the “straight line” where shaved skin starts mid-stomach—it looks unnatural when shirtless.

Arms & Legs: Only If You Must

Leg and arm hair rarely matter unless:

  • You’re a model or bodybuilder
  • You have extremely thick growth you want to reduce

If trimming, use clippers to slightly shorten, not remove completely. Full shaving is high maintenance and rarely worth the effort.

Back & Shoulders: Clean It Up

Back hair—especially between the shoulders or above the butt—should be removed:

  • Use waxing or sugaring (less painful alternative)
  • It’s one of the only areas Stirling regularly maintained
  • Clean backs look better both shirtless and in fitted clothing

The Groin: Proceed with Care

For the pubic region:

  • Stirling uses a safety razor, but this requires skill and fresh blades
  • Focus on the shaft, balls, and top of the shaft
  • Trim or shave areas around the gooch (between balls and anus) for a better experience during oral

He also recommends tapering from the belly button down to avoid sharp grooming lines above the underwear line.

What to Avoid: Hair Removal Cream

Never use hair removal cream on your testicles:

  • The skin is thin and sensitive
  • Stirling once experienced chemical burns and bleeding from this mistake

Stick with razors or trimmers for the safest results.

Grooming Isn’t Everything

Manscaping helps, but women don’t base attraction solely on grooming. A clean appearance matters, but confidence, charisma, and connection are far more important. Use grooming to enhance your look, not as a crutch.
