I had a heart attack a few years ago and they were prepping me for an emergency angiogram,/angioplasty. They told me they try to use the wrist but if not possible they go through the groin so they need to shave me, when they pulled the sheet back, he noticed I am shaved and said, that saves time.
I shaved for many years. Never a comment from Drs or nurses. Three years ago I got waxed. A little painful, but I really liked not having to shave daily. Because of waxing, I'm nearly bald. Wife likes it, and it's nearly painless. My esthecian is not afraid to touch my penis, as some I've been to seem to be. In fact, she said I stayed hard longer than most of her 30 yr olds. When I asked if she gave discounts for smaller sizes, she just laughed and said I wouldn't get one. I walked out feeling pretty good about my stuff, till I later looked in the mirror. But, I'll continue with the waxing.

I didn't have a heart attack but was experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. After a visit to a cardiologist, he set me up for an angiogram at our local hospital. They never stated any other option than going through my groin. I had a German pre-op nurse that was going to shave me. I told her she'd probably have very little to shave but she was still surprised when she pulled up the gown. She looked and said, "well, that saves us a shaving kit!" Actually prompted conversation between she, me and my wife about nudism and our lifestyle. She and her husband were also nudists and were members of our club, though we'd not run into each other there.
Back when I worked for Halliburton and needed to have a physical (due to the fact that we were all class A drivers), the doctor asked me how it was that I was so smooth. And I simply replied that I used a shaver called a clean cut. As far as any regrets, none. The only thing I regret is wasting several thousands of dollars on laser which did NOT work, and not spending the time with an electrolysis specialist to get it all permanently removed.

In reference to the original post, the only time I was a bit nervous was when my three nephews were young and I was visiting during Christmas and they all invited me to go swimming at their local YMCA that had an indoor waterpark. It really did not dawn on me what my predicament might be until we started to change in the locker room, and I saw that their father had a bushy wildebeest between his legs and thought that my three nephews might see my smoothness as weird. So in a moment of weakness, I did turn away as I lowered my jeans (I always went commando no matter how cold it is) and then slipped on my suit. Oh well.

Well, I conclude that the IPL device that I bought was a complete scam. 7 weeks of religiously using this thing 3x per week at max level and my hair is still growing back the same as ever. Little to no hair reduction... at least, I don't notice any.
Just so you all know, this is the device I got. Ironically, there's a lot of positive reviews...

It is highly dependant on your skin tone and hair color. The darker your skin and the lighter your hair, the less effective it will be.
The device you bought is a low power, cheapo. I have used the Tria System (which is a mid-range device), and have had very noticeable results with very inconsistant use, plus I only get 3, maybe 4 treatments each year waiting on the tan to fade enough to use it. It cost $300 in 2012. The most current version is $450. You went cheap, you got cheap. I suspect if you use it long enough, you will start to see results, just at a much slower pace than a higher end system.
As for the amazon reviews, you only looked at the 5 star ones that maybe are self-promotion. Click on the one-star reviews (many of which are very current) and you get a much different picture.

How can you tell if something is "low power"? Any way to tell so next time I know better?
How about the Kennzi? That looks pretty reputable but very expensive. But then again, I'm basing on reviews as well, which are clearly not the best way to go...
