I mean, I’ve groomed some of my partners, some of them have groomed me.
So… yes?
There is at least one person?
Maybe I am very strange, I am autistic, so social norms are basically all arbitrary performances to me, but it seems to just make sense?
I’m fairly sure this is also a behavior that is done by a good deal of our ape ancenstors, mammals more broadly: Grooming and cleaning another is itself a kind of social bond, a way to establish and demonstrate trust and care.
It also just saves money; if you have or can teach a partner how to do things like… haircut touchups, eyebrow shaping, basic mani/pedicure type stuff, whatever, now you don’t need to spend money on something you’d normally have to pay someone else to do.
And you can just like, have a conversation while doing this. Quality time, lol!
Works super duper well if one of your ‘love languages’ is just any kind of caring/affirmatory physical touch.
So, I am a dude, thus take this with a grain of salt perhaps, but:
Find you a person who will be excited to, and capable of safely shaving/trimming you.
There are people who do that?
