Hair.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I prefer to shave. I'm very particular and to me, hair can contribute to body odor, especially on the armpits. Whether that's societal or what, I imagine it is. I know hair is natural but I prefer to shave it off because it makes me feel cleaner.

I trim because of my experiences with shaving but I also feel cleaner after trimming my body hair.

It also lets me sport really nice and fit shirts without all the hair sticking out of it.

I don't really have an issue with men and body hair. As long as they trim their facial hair/shave, some body hair is acceptable.

[Zaldakki]

I love this thread's title lmao. Myself I prefer women shaved.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I'm a man and I'm wondering if shaving my legs would be worth it, so I can't hold it against women who can't decide either.

No. Social stigmas will be the death of you.

I trim my hair really short. I have psoriasis on my chest so sorry if I don't agree with your standard but I don't feel like looking like shit naked.

This particular topic should be on a more... suitable place, like a p0rn site or something.

[Rebellious Fishermen]

I knew you guys would throw out red herrings on me.

Truth is it is healthier to be completely shaven, even if only marginally so.

I simply don't like hair, but I feel the aesthetic value tends to outweigh shaving my head. My legs and underarm hair are something I would prefer to never have to deal with, but I do take two showers a day, so it isn't too large on an issue. Anyway get back to your misogynistic conversation on why women should shave and men shouldn't.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I trim. Fuck shaving.

Last time I tried that I got razor burn. It hurt.

Now, add in my skin condition, where I get awful welts and rashes from even gentle things... You really think I want to shave for any reason while single?

I'd say no, not particularly

I trim and shave when I can, but that's me and the fact I like to feel clean (and psoriasis, always the fucking psoriasis. It's why I clean shave my facial hair).

Prove it. Because my legs, pits, head, and cooter is hella healthy

I personally think that people have a right to choose whether or not they shave their body hair. I mean, I think it looks bad on everyone (intentional beards/staches excluded), male or female, and would prefer it if everyone did so, but I'm not a dick about it. I personally find thick pit/pubic/etc. hair to not look good at all, and to be a major turn-off in general, but to each their own. I personally would shave off all my leg, pubic, chest, and other hair off, but I'm too much of a lazy bastard to do that regularly. If I could use laser hair surgery or something to permanently remove the hair, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but that's expensive for me. Luckily, I'm a guy so my laziness isn't AS reviled by people.

I personally shave and trim because of my skin condition. But I know personally that if a woman wants to just trim and keeps her body hair under control I am perfectly okay with it, even if it's not shaven. Although I prefer shaved I don't particularly mind a really short trim.

Actually having hair in those areas (barring conditions like mine where having it EXACERBATES the issue and makes it harder to control my condition) is healthier.

I think it's up to the individual to shave or not. I'm not much for shaving myself and would probably let my beard grow if it didn't have an unsightly bald patch. As a result, I only shave my neck as the bald spot makes me self-conscious.

[Gingeska]

I'm not generally "hairy". So I don't worry about shaving.

Anyway, I quite enjoy having beards, especially during hunting season. It's the only time of the year I'm allowed to grow out my beard.

Why aren't you allowed to grow a beard?

[Gingeska]

Do you have some sort of phobia?
The health effects of having hair are completely negligible.

And you realize that your top layer of skin is a bunch of dead cells too, right?
You gonna cut off your skin too?

Don't give him any ideas Fishermen, methinks you have a phobia.

Yeah I half suspect he's ripping off his skin as we speak.

Have you taken into account the possible health effects of the chemicals in shaving cream (or any other shaving products you might use), the fact that people sometimes cut themselves while shaving or get razor burn, and the risk of infection if you do cut yourself while shaving?

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I think this is partially a generational thing.

Those of us who are over 40 (ahem) seem to be less obsessed with the whole shaving and/or manscaping your map of Tasmania thing than the younger demographic.

Whether that's specifically tied into expectations brought about by the greater accessibility of internet pornography now than when I was a lad (as is apparently sometimes suggested), I couldn't honestly say; but there does very much appear to be a generational divide here over expectations.

But for some reason the younger generation is more open to guys with long hair... People are weird.

I sport medium-length hair most of the time.

Tried to go long-haired once, didn't work as I expected. Too much work keeping my curls healthy...

I don't think people discuss armpit hair on porn sites..

Because my wife won't allow it. It's truly a pity really.

Yeah, I have long hair and it really is more work. You need to use conditioner, not just shampoo, and it's a pain to keep it from getting tangled.

Ah, makes me thankful my girlfriend doesn't allow me to not have a beard.

Seriously last time I shaved I probably got 5 or 6 lectures about " wasting a perfectly good beard"

Then you would be mistaken

My wife requires me to shave my beard every three days...

Or we don't "sleep" together.

Women always hold the true power. It's a fact of life.

Anyway, you definitely have a keeper there.

I tend to use both anyhow. But the entanglement didn't happen so much for me since my hair is all frizzy when dry (damn curls, I sweat to God I love my curly hair but it is too much work with curly hair to maintain it).

[ImperialistSalvia]

My thoughts are that NS Summer is going down swinging.

It'll be over in a week, until then we just have to bear with gems like this

[Solaray]

I belief it's the product of marketing that has made body hair unacceptable for women.

Maybe. I just find it off-putting.
