I do and I shave everything below the neck (that means legs, arms, chest, private area, etc). It very hygienic to do so and I do not care if somebody is going to say something bad about it or not. I exercise a lot too (running and walking a lot) so shaving helps there too. I also feel more comfortable when fully shaved "below the neck".

Is any one doing this too or am I the only one?

@ home.
I think there is already a shaving thread somewhere. I'll post the link if I find it.

Edit: Here is the thread I was talking about.

But this is more "below the neck" specific kind of shaving thread.

Edit: Also, that thread is old.

By the way, do you shave "below the neck" for some purposes?

Only down there.

And I do not think that it is wrong to do so. Man's body is just as unique and pleasing as the woman's. There should be nothing to be ashamed of about the human body.
If a man wants to shave, let him. Screw the society standard where "women should only shave there".

That is how I think. Just look at the ancient civilisations (Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, etc). Men shaved their bodies back then.

EVERYWHERE below the neck? I like a guy with no body hair :D. The swimmer look! (I'm a girl for anyone that didn't know)

This reminds me of Mittens for some reason.

I know tons of women that are the complete opposite and would like men to have some hair on them. :cool: :D
I thought most women liked the 'hairy-but-trimmed' type of guy?

I used to shave my um, *ahem* Gentlemen's Environs but that's going back many years... I don't shave down there anymore (more of a rough trim with a dull straight-edge...). I never have shaved my chest, pits (arm) or legs and have no desire to do so.

I try to get by with as little shaving as I can. I am naturally very sparse in body hair anyway. More of the oriental look, you could say. It takes me four or five days to get a five o'clock shadow, so I go a couple days without shaving (facial) if I can.

Come now, ladies, your turn: Fess up! ;)

And if you want a laugh, check this out. :D

Why is there this notion "men should have hair while women do not"?
I sure go against that and I do not find any thing wrong with doing it.

It's Hygenic to shave? So... it's Un-Hygenic to not shave? :confused:

I'll take the word of couple-million years evolution over yours, no offense.

That said - there is nothing quite like a smooth runway. :D

God I miss her. :(

^^ Landing Strip, eh?

I don't get why some guys like their women with no hair. It just strikes me as being a little... well, adolescent-looking. By all means, be hairy.

Be Hairy, Be Happy. Anyone know where I can have a bumper sticker printed?

Okay - the best way I can explain without getting banned from MR...

With a smooth landing strip - feels different. And makes for a new and interesting experience during cunnilingis (sp?).

I have nothing against women who go natural - but trimmed nether regions really roger my hammerstein.

That explain it? :)

I leave hair where it is considered normal to have it; arms, legs, armpits and during hockey playoffs the face. :)

I consider not having hair below the neck "normal" now. I cannot imagine having hair any where below the neck now.

Normal to you but not natural.

I really think this is some ingrained desire for man to seperate ourselves from beast. Perhaps while in our natural hairy state we remind ourselves too much of our relative primates. Whats next, shaving eyebrows?
