you have to be a shill for the laser removal industry.


I never trim my chest and have never heard from any female that they do not like it. In the summer when going to the beach or pool, I'll trim some light hair growth that I have on my shoulders and during the year I keep my crotch closely trim as women appreciate that, especially when they are going down on the clown. I would never consider shaving any other part of my body, if you are a guy and you shave your legs, I don't know what to say.

Only if you are at the level of the Tour de France or the '08 Olympics.

I like my body hair, as do the ladies. I have it on my chest and a bit on my back and have never received one complaint. There is nothing more revolting than a man who looks like a woman.

Im really hairy . We´re talking chest, shoulders and upper back. No crazy arm, hands or legs though, weirdly enough. I dont shave or wax anything. If i could just choose, id do away with the back hair, but I cant bother... No women have complained about it, and my girlfriends over the years seem to like it.

There is nothing wrong with body hair. That being said if your genes go against your own aesthetic.... MANSCAPE for god sakes. As suggested several posts back buy a trimmer and start longer and reduce till satisfied. I have tried waxing (Not great as I am extremely prone to ingrown hairs), Hate the smell of depilitators (nair etc) and am not willing to pay the extortion like cost of laser hair removal. It will all have to do about your personal perspective and that of your significant other. If he/she prefers you hirsute (aka HAIRY) don't be crawling into bed all stubbly.
