I'm assuming it's just the male counterpart of (unmarked female) "trim".  In the absence of HDAS III, we have UD's entries, such as this one (slightly trimmed, in sense 2):

1. (adj.) - slender, slim, lean. 
2. (verb) - to remove excess, as in trimming a t-bone steak, or trimming hair. 
3. (noun) - the leading edge on an aircraft's wings, even it's propellors. 
4. (noun-slang) - a woman's naughty place.
5. (noun-slang) - sexually, any woman, when one is seeking some sweet lovin' (As in: Couldn't get any trim tonight, huh, dumbass?)

I'm assuming that the guy-trim in question is intended in sense #5.
