Hi guys its me again!
I have a little bit of hair around my penis and it itches all the time! Can i shave hairs there? I heard it keeps your penis warm is that true? All i got is my sisters razor and shaving cream. Do i need special things to do there? I never really shaved before!
Thank you in advance!

Pubic hair doesnt do much to keep your peanis warm. it is fine to shave and you dont really need anything special just be careful you do not want a cut there. i warn you it may make it itch worse if you shave them off.

Penis hairs don't keep your penis warm, it survived all this time without them, right? I think they're a visual display of puberty, of sexual maturity, like a peacock's plume!
If they're itchy now, the chances are it's because of some *thing*, which are more prevalent in the summer, or just sweat. Make sure you're keeping the area clean and dry, use corn starch powder.
If you shave, be advised that they come back very itchy, so if your current situation is unpleasant, it will be moreso as they grow. And if you use a razor and cream be veeeeeery careful, you do not want to cut anything down there! (electrics are safer).

One thing to note is that while - as Sam said - electric razors are safer for shaving your pubic area in general, they nick and catch on the skin on your penis and scrotum (in my experience). I never use anything but a normal razor and cream for shaving that skin.

Shaving your pubic hair might actually make your itching worse because when pubes come back in (as they inevitably will) it definitely can be very itchy. I think that you might want to try the following to deal with your itchy pubes:
1) ensure that you take a shower everyday and wash around your pubes thoroughly
2) change your underwear daily
3) use something like calomine lotion on the areas of concern to ease your itching
If you choose to remove your pubic hair, then you are far better trimming it than outright removing your pubes. It is best to use something like a beard trimmer that you can get for as little as $10 from discounters like Target. If you choose to remove your pubes, then you really should buy your own rasors and not use your sister's out of fairness to her.
I am guessing that you are new to puberty, and when hair first comes in it can be itchy. However, once your hair grows out things should be fine. Just make sure that your skin is properly lubricated as dry skin definitely can be a major culprit of itchiness.
