body hair

I prefer things kept neatly trimmed and groomed. Length is up to you, but keeping it neat is a must for me. As for all the girls, I can say from experience that shaving down there is a really, really bad idea. Your hair is there for a reason. Though, keeping it pretty short for oral is always a plus.
Facial hair on women is just gross. Pluck or wax, please. Waxing your face is not that terrible since it’s such a small area and doesn’t need to be done too often.
Personally, I can’t stand having hair under my pits. On my legs, I don’t really mind so much unless I’m planning on getting laid or wearing a skirt/dress/shorts.
I really actually don’t mind women with hairy legs or pits. I think it’s more natural, and they still look completely beautiful. Same goes for guys. I like certain areas (i.e. face, genitals, and chest) to be groomed, but otherwise, just let it be. I think I would probably run away from a guy that shaved his legs, arms, or pits. No offense to anyone, but it just freaks me out. If you’re a swimmer, I’ll accept it because it makes sense for the sport, but otherwise, just too unnatural to me. Also, I hate when guys go bald down below. When the hair starts growing back after you shave down there, it is the most uncomfortable thing on the planet when you have sex! Trim it as close as you like, just don’t let it become stubble.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a lot of body hair growth has to do with androgen levels, and women with high androgen levels are generally unattractive mentally as well as physically, so from earlier exposure we make an association that hairy=unattractive. That’s just my theory though. And then there’s the visual part, it simply does look better generally, and men are by nature turned on visually.

@Sheila That amazonian race actually had little to no body hair, just like many other native American races that are now almost extinct.

i don’t like chest/back hair on dudes. i like the feeling of skin. leg hair isn’t bad. foot hair is weird only if it looks like he has hobbit feet. beards can look good on some men and i definitely can dig it if it’s maintained and looks good.

i don’t have any facial hair because i maintain it. i always shave my legs and under arms and keep my bikini line neat. i’ll shave my downstairs if my partner prefers it, but otherwise i just keep it presentable. i dunno how other women feel on here, but i think if it gets too bushy, it’s just uncomfy.

I’m personally fascinated with body hair, not in a fetishistic way, but I find it adds a certain “quirkiness” to whoever it is on, as far as pubic hair goes, I’d prefer someone be natural with me as I do…let those pheromes pool! and I have no qualms with women who don’t shave, it’s actually kind of noble, in a way. actually, I find the absence of pubic hair on anyone to be a little creepy, because I either think of a barbie/ken or just feel…wrong

Woman need pubes because it evaporates the “shmegma” or lady juices. Without it, it kinda smells horrible. Also, did you know that lady juices is just a mix of bacteria and dead skin cells! happy fucking. :)

I am turned off by men (and women) who spend an inordinate amount of time grooming ANY part of their body. To me, it reflects insecurity +/or undue pride in oneself…vanity. There are so many other things to enjoy, spend time doing, and focus on in life, other than one’s appearance. However, I expect my man to be clean. Shower daily and you’re fine.

Opening this back up for discussion. Thoughts?

I’ve shaved before, but I don’t like the constant scratching of the crotch area. I do enjoy the reaction of others, but the itching I can do without. Balls are tough, figuratively, you have to stretch them before you shave to get the wrinkles out. It does make for a good christmas card though. On a more serious note, my wife and I are comfortable with either/or. Sometimes it’s fun to play”Attack of the Naked Mole Rat”.
