Do you shave or trim........down there?

[Abstract]

How many of the guys at MR shave their netherregions? How about just a trim? Anyone ever shave the whole thing?

I did shave it all once, but after I shaved down there, it didn't look right because I was bald in the "pubic region," but my legs still had hair. I looked like an 11 year old with a weird hormonal problem. :confused: Anyway, so I had to shave the hair at or near my thighs. And while there isn't much hair on my chest, there's a bit near my bellybutton and below, so I had to shave THAT off so that everything matched.

Anyway, it was a big pain in the ass, and I think I'll just trim from now on......if I remember.

FAKE EDIT: I realize that in the "Who do you want to meet in real life" thread, we're sorta like a big family --- a group of friends, but am I sharing too much? :p

[Blue Velvet]

There are some things that are perhaps better left unsaid -- family or not. :p

Nah just kidding, another name for the netheregions is "the map of tasmania" and another name for Tasmania is "The Apple Isle" so I don't think we have to.

[gekko513]

I remember a thread featuring KingSnapped (or whatshisname). :D

As for the question; I trim whenever I have romantic ambitions. :p

I shave my pubes & my rear-end!!! As for leg hair not matching - I just trim the leg hair otherwise I have gorilla legs!

[Abstract]

So you shave your pubes and trim the leghair around it? Isn't is weird to have a bald pubic region followed by some leg hair? Of course, if you trim, its easier for it to all blend together, so I'm thinking of trimming, not shaving.

And the fact that you shave your butt scares me. How hairy is it? How's your back? Is it hairy as well?

@Gekko: As do I. It looks bigger when it's shaved or trimmed. I wouldn't shave at first because you may scare her away, or worse yet, make her laugh.

[Josh]

LOL I NEVER imagined a thread like this to make an appearance on MR hahahah

In car forums and stuff I've seen it come up, but this is a first lol

Shaving I do not recommend. a)You will itch uncontrollably once the hair begins to grow back b)The whole 'hairless with a trunk' thing only looks good on elephants...meaning: unless you're a female, bald is not good ;)

I trim - not obsessively or anything, since it makes little difference, but it's nice to keep things neat lol

(Trimming will also expose more of "you", which will make "you" appear slightly larger. This directly will have no effect on anything, but the added confidence it may give you could play a role in things...if you catch my meaning...:) )

It's not quite so painful as people make out - although I guess with men having a lower pain threshold :p , they might see it differently!

FOOOOOOORE!!

[Artful Dodger]

Well...

Chest/Arms--waxed (when working out)
Back--clean and smooth (no need to worry)
The rest is...since my back injury, lets just say my girlfriend has been wonderful ;)

[clayj]

The only way any of y'all are going to find out anything about my nether regions is if one of you who happens to be (1) female and (2) attractive comes to Charlotte and inspects me for yourself, then reports back to the rest of the MR community. :cool:

[treblah]

I usually bust out the Wahl every Friday or so. Setting it to the one guard does a good job. I have seen these nether region shavers made by Phillips (i think) and have read good things. Unfortunately, they are only available in the UK I believe.

Well, I'll be. Friday already...

[devilot]

Agreed... although I have it done professionally rather than at home!

It's not quite so painful as people make out - although I guess with men having a lower pain threshold :p , they might see it differently!Cheers!!! I heartily agree... wax wax wax. Although, perhaps Applespider and I shouldn't chime in as the OP directed the question to 'guys?' But I love my brazilians-- nothing like feeling all smooth and "clean." :D And let's not forget, sheer garments are that much more delightful when one is well-groomed.

[buryyourbrideau]

shave it all, the girlfriend would not have it any other way.

Baby oil seems to work well when working down there.

Everything.

Wouldn't have it any other way. :D

Baby oil seems to work well when working down there.You can also use that to shave if you're in a bind and don't have say, a shower/bath and something to lather up w/. <-- forgot what book I read that in.

Did mommy and daddy give it to you? :p

Oh yeah. I do my fair share. Trimming and shaving is a big thing amongst Gen-Y.

[Lacero]

I shaved once. Was the biggest mistake. No less than 12 hours later, I was itching like crazy. I just do a trim once every 3 months, and I'm done.

BTW. I've never attempted to trim my ass hairs if anyone wanted to know.

Trimming for me. Couldn't shave it all because the rest of me is fairly hairy, so that would look weird. The ladies seem to like it. :cool:

Oh My God Part Two! Here I am just about ready to go to Bumbershoot festival in Seattle and I come across this thread. Now I won't be-able to look at a large group of people without thinking "do they shave or trim?"

Great, just great

And I agree, somethings are better left unsaid/answered/or asked.

[devilot]

Well, that just shot my hopes of getting any work done today all to hell.Oh yes, did I neglect to mention, that most of this is just for "research sakes?" As in, not necessarily life applicable (for me at least). I'm thinking about Women's Studies as a major... or Cultural Anthro w/ an emphasis on gender roles/sex. I find different cultures' ways of handling sex and all its surrounding hoopla very intriguing; not so much the act itself.

Right with you emw, this is the equivalent of slowing down to see accidents on the highway. I curse at everyone for doing it yet find myself doing it at times as well.

As for the purpose of the thread only my wife knows the answer and she doesn't understand the whole online forum thing. Although when it gets her information about "Lost" and "Serenity" she's more than happy I check in here from time to time.

ok, since this did not take a hideous turn, i can answer that. i'll still try not to blush because of the topic.

in my experience it was charged by the "area" and how many sessions. (it takes more than one). legs were a fortune, any larger areas are, but it's not as bad as i thought price wise. some facilities charge way too much for substandard lasers, i did my homework and found a great place that did a wonderful job for a good price. i also bought the sessions 3 at a time and got a good deal for it. in total for "that" area it was about $700, and worth every penny. for a women it is a bit different though, i get the impression men want it to look like they are not naturally apish, trimmed, women want no hair or very very little... usually.. we are held to a different standard often times. i obliged, and i'm happy about it, hair is annoying anywhere (minus the top of my head)
thing to remember is that it is permanent. (thankfully)

it's a bit of a strange topic but i felt i should mention this option in case it interests someone. lasers do amazing things these days :)
no it didn't hurt that bad either, felt like being hit with a rubber band while the laser was on, when it was off there was no pain whatsoever.

[dcv]

[devilot]

Thanks for the info, iBlue, that is something to definitely think about and look into. Sigh. Must be so nice to say 'toodles' to wax and razors... but it is an investment. And emw, glad that distractions are outta the way! :D

[vniow]

Bah, the only couple times I shaved completely left me all itchy and red, probably wasn't using the right aftershave or whatever but it wasn't fun, now I just take a mustache trimmer and tidy everything up. Don't think I would ever wax on a regular basis though, always liked a bit of hair in that area. Legs are similar nowadays as well, I used to freak out if I didn't shave those regularly, now I can only stand to do those at least once a month or so just because the afterwards stubble is too uncomfortable and its just too high maitenence.

Eh.

Alas!
I have found the source to itch free pubic regions. :)

May I present..........Coochy Cream! (www.coochyshave.com/coochyfaq)

On a side note. I haven't really felt any itchiness.

[wdlove]

Never have. I would agree on the high maintenance and itching. Must have it good parts or there wouldn't be so much information. Would be fun to try it just once.

just plain old hair conditioner works the best! helps with razor burn, and leaves skin smooth!

[devilot]

Good to have really really sharp, clean blades... try to stay away from perfumed soaps, shaving gels/foams, and lotions if you have more sensitive skin. Aveeno's oatmeal shaving formulas have worked well in my book and you can pick them up at most places.

[gekko513]

I wonder if I can find Coochy Cream or Aveeno's oatmeal shaving formulas in Norway ... guess it's time for some new shopping experiences.

Thanks for all the tips

[devilot]

I wonder if I can find Coochy Cream or Aveeno's oatmeal shaving formulas in Norway ... guess it's time for some new shopping experiences.

Thanks for all the tipsHaha, sorry, didn't catch your location. Like previously mentioned, baby oil will also work well... especially if you DO have access to a shower/bath then you could easily wash off the oiliness, unless you're going for that whole, "I am Thor and I have naturally shiny, pumped muscles and um, nether regions." Basically, the fewer and the more natural the ingredients, the less likely your skin will be irritated. Also, I have read that it is best to shave WITH the grain, as in, the direction your hair grows.

[Daveway]

Haha, sorry, didn't catch your location. Like previously mentioned, baby oil will also work well... especially if you DO have access to a shower/bath then you could easily wash off the oiliness

Nooo, but I like the baby oil, it feels good. :D

I love the smell of baby powder in the morning.

[Applespider]

Nooo, but I like the baby oil, it feels good. :D

However, if you use baby oil and get lucky later, the oil can make the rubber in the condom perish.... :eek:

Waxwise - I do it to merely to tidy. Nothing down there makes me feel a little prepubescent.

As for you guys, getting rid of some of the hair down there is often much appreciated by women... makes getting into close quarters much more comfortable!

[wdlove]

Yes, baby oil and powder smell very nice. Just if we could still have skin like that. So much more pleasure. Smelling good would be the best part.

[Daveway]

Square inch? So 9 times ...............damn, that's expensive! :eek:


And I'm still trying to figure out the relevence of some of those books that Devilot posted, although they ARE interesting. ;)

I'll be a trimmer from now on, I think. You're all right.......too much itchyness down there.

Ha ha ha... cool thread.

Myself: Almost all smooth as butta, leave a small patch... I found my partners like the scratchy scratch.

I dated a stripper in college who taught me the secret of a perfectly smooth, hairless result with very little trouble, no discomfort.

I love it! My current lover slacks off sometimes, so I withold the oral pleasure until she gets the hint: works every time.

Has anyone tried that new KY "warming" gel? Does it actually work?

PS: I wish there were enough hedonists in the private forums to start threads like these there, but out in the open is fine too!

Men are not supposed to shave or trim anything below their neck. Period.

Except, maybe their back.

Well being 13 I have no need to trim anything...yet. Even though some people at school do it just as an excuse because they have none. It grows down there for a purpose and shouldn't be shaved.

Looking in to lasers? Doesn't sound very wise.

I've had my entire nether region shaved for me once. I've had my ass crack done a couple times for me and do it myself every now and then when I can be bothered.

I'd love to go down the laser route for convenience but would be too embarrassed to lie there holding or having my butt cheeks held open to get right in the crevices:o

It's pretty innocent actually. They make a depilatory cream formulated just for men (women?) of African descent. It can be difficult for some African men to use a razor because of the skin's surface. Anyway, it's called "Magic Shave" and has a photo of a handsome African fellow on the container. Follow the instructions... but be creative/careful too. It is meant to be used on faces. I found that using the handle of a plastic spoon works great to remove the cream and hair once you apply it and wait the directed amount of time. After the cream works its magic and you remove it and the hair in your shower, pat the area dry carefully with a very clean towel. Wait a few minutes, then apply a toner (what some women use after they wash their face). I use one made by Neutrogena.

Now, your mileage may vary: some of the strippers at my ex's club found the cream unsatisfactory: some didn't like the smell, texture or thought it was too "rough". But for me it works great! I have recommended the process to men and gals and they all gave it a thumbs up! It sounds simple, but it works: no razors (ouch) and I think the toner helps your delicate skin down there recover faster and without lumps, irritations or itching. The smoothness also lasts a lot longer than shaving. There ya go.

[Lacero]

Pubic hair is as useless as arm hair or ass hair.Pubic and ass hairs prevent chafing.

Not every race has arm hairs to the extent of someone like Robin Williams.

[dubbz]

I think they should, but that is my personal opinion. Why aren't they supposed to do that?

Because men are supposed to look like apes?

*shrug*

As for myself, I did it once when I was much younger. That was awful.

Did my legs once. That wasn't so bad, but I mostly use long pants, even in the warmest of summers, so.. meh.

Luckily, I don't have a hairy chest or back, so no issues there. Yay.

Pubic and ass hairs prevent chafing.

Oh! That reminded me of a little story a read a long time ago. Funny stuff. I need to find it :D

I'm probably going regret asking this, but what is the purpose?

I'd like to know this as well and also eye brows? For expression or "to stop dust falling in your eyes".

And while we're on the subject of trimming and what not ... Nails!? WHY!? Couldn't we just have some really hard skin to replace them?

I bite my nails excessively. If they weren't there i probably wouldn't feel the need. Just chew my hand off or something.

We really need some juicy Mac related news!! :p

Preventing sweat actually seems reasonable. Now, does anyone know why we have that little groove below our noses?

It would seem that the hair would provide cushion though. Although I can see hoe the smooth would give special feelings also.

I'm really surprised at the openness that everyone is expressing. Especially with such a sensitive subject.

Quite an enjoyable read.

[Lacero]

Does you wife shave hers?Wow wdlove. This is like the most sexually suggestive thing you've ever typed! I'm impressed. :D

[superbovine]

I think this no longer has relevance. That seems to harcken back to times when women found it attractive for her man to smell like (insert unpleasing odor) and vice versa.

ooh, i was thinking more pheromones you body produces when you get scared for example. something like when people say "a dog can smell fear", but yeah i agree, i am all about the deodorant. :D

[rendezvouscp]

Wow wdlove. This is like the most sexually suggestive thing you've ever typed! I'm impressed. :D
You must've seen:

Yes, baby oil and powder smell very nice. Just if we could still have skin like that. So much more pleasure. Smelling good would be the best part.
;)

As for me, no, I don't shave or trim down there, just because there's no point for me right now. Although I have to say that I'm glad that my shaving for competitive swimming days are over.

I've never really wanted to shave/wax down there but last year, my girlfriend got me a little bit tipsy and I fell asleep and she...



Erm...


Yeah... :o


On the plus side, it makes special time better. :)
But I wouldn't ever do it to myself.

[clayj]

well if you'd like to buy me a ticket.... ;)OK, but first I need to make sure you meet my original criteria... ;)

[Chip NoVaMac]

However, if you use baby oil and get lucky later, the oil can make the rubber in the condom perish.... :eek:

Waxwise - I do it to merely to tidy. Nothing down there makes me feel a little prepubescent.

As for you guys, getting rid of some of the hair down there is often much appreciated by women... makes getting into close quarters much more comfortable!


Why does the scene from Scary Movie come to mind? :eek:

[Chip NoVaMac]

Men are not supposed to shave or trim anything below their neck. Period.

Except, maybe their back.


And just what is wrong with back hair? I wear mine proudly.

This reminds me of the pranks they play on others while I'm bunking with my mates. They would put toothpaste, shoe polish, shaving cream and whatever crap on that person in his netherregion while he is asleep. As expected, the victim always woke up quickly with a big surprise when the burning sensation kicks in.

It's just so wrong, we're adapt humans, not apes. Although I respect the manly-men who wear sleeveless shirts with excessive back/shoulder hair.

It looks like you're wearing a sweater!

I was at walmart once (they have cheap fabric, so sue me!) and I was bored, so I looked at some digicams. The guy was manhandling it, being the basic "WHERE DUZ FILM GO??" kinda guy.. but he hwas wearing a white, see through, sweat-ketchup-and-mustard stained wifebeater and... ENOUGH BACK HAIR TO SHAVE, GLUE INTO A TOUPEE, AND COVER HIS GROWING BALD SPOT.

It was disgusting.


My nephew (who's almost 3, btw) HAS A REALLY HAIRY BACK!! I WANT TO SHAVE IT, BUT HE'D SQUIRM AND HIT ME AND GET KNICKED!

This thread has gotta be up there on the MR all time off-the-wall "sharing of personal info" list. ;) :D

I'm too hairy to mess around with razors...If I shaved one part of my body I'd have to do everything to match, and then it would grow back so fast... too much work as long as I'm single. :rolleyes:

[mac-er]

I think they should, but that is my personal opinion. Why aren't they supposed to do that?

Don't Europeans have it backwards? Women are supposed to shave their bodies not men :)

Things to do to be polite:

Not bad, though. I once saw someone (at AT&T, of all places) spell "Danke schön" as "Danka shane"... apparently they'd listened to too much Wayne Newton. :p

I have, it's just that this thread bulldozed, with certain people being in focus for awhile. ;)

The thing is that it's polite. Judging by oldies porn (70s to early 80s porn), women didn't shave until some time in the 80s. It's only polite that men trim down there.

I do like a woman with a bit of hair down there. It just looks natural. Men who enjoy completely hairless, prepubescent p***ies are child molesters at heart. I don't know how I came to that conclusion, but I just did.

[bigandy]

trim around, shave the protruding parts.... i think it's best that way. otherwise you get the itching and it's not so good. i never experience itching the way i do it so i'm happy...

never thought i'd see a discussion like this here, it's rather funny though! :rolleyes:

[Abstract]

No, I do think it's true. Its just as bad as the "Girls in school uniforms with a short skirt" fantasy some guys have. You can't say THAT's not a sign. Combine a liking of schoolgirl uniforms with a liking of a completely shaved kitty, and you pretty much have a person who likes kiddies a bit too much. Lots of people have this sort of fantasy, and most of these people have the sense not to act on them, as humans are smart enough to not just act on a whim.

[TheMonarch]

Huh?

Some guys like it hairless, Its all about personal preferences and tastes (hint hint), not "kiddie-fiddling". Some just might not like to cough up a hair ball. Sheesh.


Opinions on the amount of hair for either men or women vary depending on who you ask because the male's organ expands outward, thus the hair becomes "less in the way". But hers gets in the way easier [than a man's] if you know what I mean.

BTW, I like trimmed :D

Interestingly enough, my bf does prefer some hair but I personally like the feel of being bare and as I am the one enduring the waxing sessions, I shall do whatever I wish w/ my body, thank you very much. ;)

Do I detect a fruedian slip in here somewhere??

As for shaving, I used to shave my head. I also made the mistake of using Nair on it. NEVER, EVER do that. It is very painful.

As for shaving down there, I don't. I pluck. One. Hair. At a time <YANK!>.
Oops. That wasn't a hair (tries to glue it back on).

Actually, someone I knew never shaved her 'pits. She said it was because it furthered pedophilia blablabla.

I just didn't get it.. I don't like being able to braid my armpit hair into dreadlocks, and I don't understand how deodorant goes on effectively if it has to go through hair... :confused: :confused:

I like my 'pits clean! Deodorant GOES ON and does its thing, and I don't get how that would work, trying to slather it on through a friggin brillo pad!

I respect not shaving them, but there was a girl sitting in front of me at orientation when I got to UF and she had on this cute, snug red top, with little sleevelets that mostly covered her shoulder. She was pretty, but not amazingly, unbelievably so, but was also way too arrogant. And then she raised her hand at one point, and her armpit hair was half out of her sleevelet, kind of caught up in it and poking out. I couldn't stop giggling. :)

One of the funniest things I've ever seen is Dan Hedaya in Alien Resurrection, sitting up in his bunk when the aliens escape from their cages... and the NEST of arm hair (not armPIT hair, just plain arm hair) sticking out from the edges of his T-shirt. For a horror/sci-fi movie, it was a definite mood-breaker.

EDIT: Or, this picture (mildly NSFW!) of Nicola Bryant (third-to-last row, middle picture) (http://members.fortunecity.com/noops212/fcnoops_nichola_bryant_dr_who0003.html), aka Peri from Dr. Who... I saw this in a book about the Doctor's companions and couldn't believe that they'd use a shot of her that includes, well, something that's not really PG-13. Suffice to say, she should have trimmed that day.

Although in Continental Europe, it is usual for most women to keep their pit hair (incidentally, the most painful waxing I ever had!) although they probably identify when the term 'Damen' :p

I agree with the 'coming out of clothes' being unacceptable school and trim accordingly... I remember being on Venice Beach in a large group of people and being alarmed by the long dark hairs down the back of one girl's thighs. She'd trimmed the front... but forgotten the back. Oops! :rolleyes:

Im all good with piercings, Im gonna go try to get my webbing pierced on my left hand between my thumb and index finger. With Genitalia piercings, Im facinated, I could never do it , and those who have or who are about to, I want to see. Ive see women with nipple piercings, wich was interesting, and have always wondered about later when/if they have children ... what happens when the biological functions kick in after having the kid, how does the piercing effect the nipples? With guys, im astonished, cause I could never do that, so not to be a perv, more out of facination I want to see the piercing, or watch them get pierced. Bod Mod facinates me. I wrote and gave a whole speech about it in one of my classes.

We did end up having a drunken discussion about it in which I was surprised to learn that my male German friends found it very sexy since it made their individual scent (not BO) stronger and more attractive.

I was surprised at the time but it was them that told me that it was very common.

Everytime I've been in Berlin, it's been too cold for the type of tops required to find out - but that's due to time of year, not a criticism of Berlin's weather!

Might be different in other parts of the country but here women take care of themselves. So do women in Hamburg, Munich or Cologne. I don't know for the rest of the country but at least the ones I know, do.

Never, ever give the impression that you may have seen an 11 year old naked unless you have a very good reason. If you're not careful people will see this group as less of a family and more like one of those 'rings'.

Never shaved my nether regions but do get my back waxed on the grounds that hairy backs are often listed as a turn off. Am one of those unfortunate men who can grow hair everywhere but on his head - and people ask why i don't believe in a god!

:D nice one.

[PlaceofDis]

haha, no prob bob... eh, more knowledge = more power to ya. Although I'd have to agree w/ Katie on this one... I cringe at the thought of even a 'simple' nipple piercing much less, well, the unmentionable. ;)

nipple piercings, got both of mine done a few weeks ago, hardly felt a thing. i am big into body mods :D

Ive see women with nipple piercings, wich was interesting, and have always wondered about later when/if they have children ... what happens when the biological functions kick in after having the kid, how does the piercing effect the nipples? With guys, im astonished, cause I could never do that, so not to be a perv, more out of facination I want to see the piercing, or watch them get pierced. Bod Mod facinates me. I wrote and gave a whole speech about it in one of my classes.

for women it depends on who pierced them and how. Sadly, there are a lot of piercers out there to just don't care and basically grap the clamp, run the needle through and BAM! your done. thats not how it is supposed to go. the place i go to is the best i have ever seen, and as the guy says "we dont add anything to your nipples, and we don't take anything out." its just another hole, so done properly it should have no affect, but of course that isn't always the case. Getting my nipples done was a piece of cake, same with my eyebrow and labret, and stretching my ears. tattoos take a bit more courage and i have to psych myself up for them, but its well worth it in the end.

[devilot]

Just wanted to clarify that I have no problem w/ people who want/have nipple/body piercings-- I just can't get it done to myself. I'm too wimpy and I don't like the 'look' for myself. I've watched people do needle play (quite intense really) so I definitely have no issues w/ others who enjoy/want/have piercings.

from your other post i would never have thought that you were into them, im still a bit happy about getting all the stuff done that i have lately....

Yes, we like that. We like.

Ok, so if a guy shaves his nether regions, but wants to leave the 'happy trail', how would he go about such a thing? Without going into too much detail, I have generally gone out with guys who are dark haired and fairly hairy, and am therefore happy with the occasional trimming. :o So, if I imagine them shaving but leaving the 'happy trail', they would look a bit odd, what with, well, a hairy belly, but a straight line across. Presumably less hairy men have less of a defined difference.

I'm now intrigued. Do I just go out with freakishly hairy men? If not, do they somehow grade the lower haircut in the manner of 80s schoolboys? :confused: :D

[Daveway]

I hope that you guys don't shave it... I find that v sexy... (assuming it's what I think it is!)


The "V" is just a muscualar shape. A "Happy Trail" is just a trail of hair.

I meant v as in 'very' not as in the muscle shape - tho that is v sexy too ;)

[devilot]

I meant v as in 'very' not as in the muscle shape - tho that is v sexy too ;)I actually find a different anatomical 'v' shape to be quite attractive; the lat muscles-- so, if looking at a person from the back, the muscles sort of right below and to the outside of the shoulder blades sort of... By the side of the ribs... anyway... :o

And just what is wrong with back hair? I wear mine proudly.

Me too... my last girlfriend actually liked it. I want to get rid of it, specially since I'm just a couple of hairs away from being a chimpanzee. :D

Regarding the main topic of discussion in the thread, never done it, but always being curious about doing it. I'll probably trim it sometime... shaving it would look weird, being so hairy and all. :rolleyes:

Have an 8 gage nipple piercing, and a couple of tats. Been wanting to do the PA thing, but too chicken to do it. So I will concentrate on the ink.

Use to be hung up on my body hair (wall to wall carpeting). Had a lover at one time that helped me with the back. Well, one thing led to another and everything went one night. :eek:

[scem0]

Trimming is best in my opinion. Shaving is fine if you don't have hairy legs. If you have hairy legs and a hairy chest/stomach and then a patch of hairlessness right above your penis would look mighty strange. Please trim if that's the case. A clean shaven pubic area can be very sexy, but in most cases I'd say trimming is better.

Oh, and this is semi-unrelated, but if you have a hairy chest, stomach, and/or back please don't shave that hair off. Hairy bodies are very sexy! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)

but.. to a point! If he looks like a grizzly bear or Mastodon, then I'll attack him in his sleep with some wax or something.

I remember watching Anne of a Thousand Days in history. When we* saw Richard Burton shirtless, people* asked questions like "so he can have 10 wives, but can't afford a razor?" and "If he's the king, he should have a royal razor!"

It bothered us*, ahahha.

Yeah, I suppose there is a point where one becomes 'too hairy', and that point changes from person to person. Personally, there are very few men in this world who I'd find to be 'too hairy'. This man is one of them:

But all jokes aside, I find a hairy chest to be a very big turn on. Case in point, Tim McGraw:

But the biggest turn on possible is kindness and understanding, so if you don't have a hairy chest you can still be hot :).

I have issues with too much hair.

I had this dream once where the hair on my arms were 1" in Diam round, grew like rampant weeds, and you could see all the texture and stuff like you would under a microsocpe, and I had to take a chef's knife to try and get rid of them, but then I had all these round hair craters still 1" round all over my arms!

F! nasty dream.

you should hear the weird noises that I'm making after reading that.


kind of disbelief, but coughing, but... WTF?

[clayj]

From Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery:

Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I suspect it is too although gorilla-like is never good - and hairy backs don't do much for me either.

I'd rather a guy have hair on his chest than be completely hairless there - it's much nicer to snuggle up to. On the other hand, I'd rather he be hairfree than have a few tiny wispy bits that look like an adolescent moustache.

I guess however, that it's just as well that we don't all like the same thing or we'd have a race of clones wandering around.

I have only a few tiny wispy bits, that's why I shave it. Actually, it's more like a few dark and quite thick hairs, not wisps, but they are so few and far between that it looks ridiculous :)
