manscraping 

(a.k.a., manscaping): the philosophy and practice that men should destroy natural manifestations of their masculinity by shaving, clipping, depilating, lasering, or otherwise desecrating the hair of pubes, pits, chests, legs, etc., in a misguided attempt to appear more like pre-pubescent boys for the gratification of old pervs and/or domineering women; the psychological equivalent of castration.
Manscraping: My buddy told me his girl wouldn't go down on him until he manscraped his pubes. What a castrating bitch!

Manscraping: Coach told all the guys on the team they had to manscrape their pits if they wanted to play. What a perv!

southern manscaping 

Derived from general term manscaping, this is the process of men grooming and trimming only hair emerging below the belly button. Most oftentimes seen in men under forty (40) who do not engage in manscaping that would jeopardize their Mumford and Sons-style beard and hair. They do, however, desire a trimmed and groomed genital area. This is the opposite of Northern Manscaping, which is most oftentimes seen in men over forty (40) who never engaged in the practice of overall manscaping before but now find themselves requiring extra grooming in the ear, nose, back, chest, neck, and eyebrow areas.

Manscaping Paradox 

A natural and uncontested law of the universe. Simply put, if a man shaves his goods before a date for the purpose of intercourse, he will NOT have sex that night. However, if he forgets to manscape, he WILL most likely have sex. A true no-win situation.
Shaving my goods before sex IS good manners, but The Manscaping Paradox says that I can’t shave if I want to smash. Damn. I

Most oftentimes seen in men over forty (40) who never engaged in the practice of overall manscaping before but now find themselves requiring extra grooming in the ear, nose, back, chest, neck, and eyebrow areas.
