Well some of us are stuck in a sort of hair limbo. For example, I have enough facial hair that I should shave on a daily basis (although I'm lazy and shave every other day) but it isn't thick enough to actually grow into a beard or anything like that (I look like a muskrat that got attacked by a weed eater when I try to grow out my facial hair). Similar situation on my back. I don't have hair all over my back, but I have it in patches and splotches here and there. IMO, it looks a lot worse than having a uniformly hairy back (I look like ***** Jeff Goldblum in the early stages of "The Fly"). And I'm pretty fair skinned w/dark hair so it stands out like a sore thumb. If I was blonde I probably wouldn't even worry about it. My chest hair only bugs me when it starts creeping up over the neck of my T-shirts. My standing rule is no chest hair above the collar bone. And trimming down below is just all around nicer. You wouldn't believe how much less you sweat when most of that hair is gone.

Why do we get so hung up on "excess" body hair? I am not talking about ear hair 
; but I am sure are there are those that get off on it. But I am talking more about chest and back hair (we could talk about other body parts, but lets keep this a family discussion).
Is it that we are so shallow, that we are wanting people to go to great lengths to change what God gave us? Why should I take and feel as if I have to put a shirt on, only because i have a very nice "pelt"? It sickens me that men like me with back hair, balding, and/or "heavy" are the butt of jokes on sitcoms and in real life. Seldom -if ever- are these types "leading" men.
I hope Lethal understands were i am coming from as a Gay male, but chest hair coming over a t-shirt is sexy to me. Just as i find someone that is naturally smooth. More importantly I find what is in the brain and heart to matter more than what is on the outside. in my own case, when I shaved my body i did meet some very "desirable" partners. They were short lived, becuase IMO it based on the "look", not was deep inside. It was when I went "natural", that I met people that one found it attractive, but more importantly they were able to see the good inside me.

Yeah, the thread is weird, but this has to be one of the weirdest (and most disgusting) comments I've read on this board.

Abstract said:Oh god, me too. Its my first time, like I mentioned, but seriously, its the same spikey feeling you get when you cut your hair short. Now the spikey bits of my pubes spikes the top side of Captain winky, and it itches a bit now. Lucky I don't wear tighty whities. Otherwise, my monkey would be rubbing against that sandpaper texture all day. I didn't even cut it that short! Its short, but there's still 3/4 of an inch!
And why are there so many pretty boys here who shave their legs? Unless you seriously got a bad case of the Robin Williams, I really don't think we need to start shaving legs. Some of this activity is borderline metrosexual. Metrosexuals are out, baby. Manly men are back (hopefully).
This is the funniest thing I've ever read on this forum. ROTFLMFAO!

Alright, for my own personal advice on shaving: you have nothing to worry about right now. Shave your facial hair, and that's it. Keep things trimmed if you need to, but at (y)our age, you don't really need to worry about it. I swim and play water polo, so I have to worry about shaving more, but your coach pretty much tells you want you need to do (at least at Wilson, one of the best waterpolo and swim schools you can go to in California).

Don't worry Hector, they just found out that the average male really does fall short of the average.vniow said:

I learned that the hard way. Do NOT use an electric razor to shave your scrotum. You will bleed.
Electric beard trimmer for the jungle. That's fine.
Blade (mach 3) razor for the scrotum. Or waxed professionally. That's fine.
Electric razor on scrotum == BAD.

AAAHHHHH!!!!

I'm definitely with you there....eww...
Not sure I've ever heard that sentiment before. Maybe about what's above them, but not them. Fascinating, huh? You must be truly blessed to see beauty in such things.Neserk said:
