Shaving Pubic Hair - For Men

Question

Hi,Is it permissible to shave the pubic area, and how?Thank you.

Answer

Shalom UvRacha,

A man is forbidden to shave the pubic hair.

In a situation of embarrassment etc, it is permitted to trim the hair, but not to completely remove it, since Le'halacha one must leave a noticeable amount of hair.
