Question. About... Hair.

[Guest praisedbeherhooves]

Well I'm living as a guy so I don't have to deal with social pressures to shave my legs and arms. Personally I don't shave anything but my face (I have very little facial hair so if I let it grow out I look like one of those freshman kids who walk around proudly displaying the three hairs on their chin. I don't look manly. I look like an idiot) but when I start T and grow chest hair I will wax it off because I think a hairy chest on a guy is kind of gross looking.

Funny, I get into this argument a lot.

I don't shave my legs, but I shave my armpits most of the time - more out of habit than anything else. But the legs, oh the legs. See, I usually wear jeans. It's just part of what I do usually, and then I wore long shorts, and everything kind of fell to nuts. My friend apparently has a leg fetish (or that's what she calls it), and I am not out enough to give more of a reason than it's a pain in my butt..... She has actually gone as far as tried to force me down and shave my legs (I politely declined and a few of my friends kicked in on my side, so my legs are still gloriously hairy).

Now I kind of just say "intercourse you" to the people who care and shrug it off. Noooooot worth the time it takes to shave, the ingrown hairs, the strips of skin that sometimes come off when shaving (admittedly my lack of focus had something to do with that), and my discomfort. I revel in shorts and people who care should keep it to themselves. It isn't their body - so why should I do what they say I should.

But Mike, if you try to conform to opinions and ideals, you're just going to be very very annoyed because there is no pleasing everyone. Do what you want as long as it's legal.

I shave my face and side burns really and only because Im not yet growing enough hair for it to look kool but I grow enough you can notice it xD.

I have hairy knuckles arms armpits legs everything and though I do rather a shaved look in places Im not going to bother until I settle down on T because other wise Im going to mess with my skin too much and turn into a giant zit on legs!

Something for the guys to remember as you start T the oils and hair in the skin changes rapidly mostly you want to just keep it clean and under control for awhile if you start shaving and waxing you could irritate your self and get zits and skin upsets.

And its summer time here I wear t shirts and shorts no one has looked at me different I dont feel Im different due to the hair it should be there and I dont really give it any more thought.

I've been on and off with shaving, shaved it all in HS because of the mom pressure, quit shaving my legs late in high school because i stopped caring, but kept shaving the underarms up until my sophomore year in college by choice. I had never tried having full on pit hair and it scared me because i thought it would lead to bad B/O and my dad's underarm hair has always freaked me out. Now I don't shave ANYTHING (except my head occasionally) and I love it - Apart from feeling more manly (even though my body hair is very faint and very fine), you don't have to deal with razor burn, you sweat less when you've got hair, and I've come to love my natural body odor (and other people don't seem to mind it neither + it's got pheromones). I still trim the nether regions though just to keep it neat.

i dont shave anywhere anymore

i never used to shave my legs anyway, they dont grow much

i used to shave underarm and groin and belly but dont now plus i get razor bumps and in grown hairs

mum was commenting on it the other day and i just go 'whats the point in shaving, when it hurts, its not like anyone sees me' and she agreed

In my whole 19 years of life i have never once shaved under my arms, the only thing i have once shaved other than face is my legs. And that was only once and kinda by accident actually....it was one of them wet shave things that women get and when i was little i was wondering what it was when i was in the path and i put it along my leg without realising what it was and then i later realised it'd shaved my leg hairs I occosinally shave my face....Because it makes me feel manly when i do.....I haven't shaved my face in a long time actually thinkin gabout it now..When i first started to shave my face i drilled it into myself that it'd help it grow more thicker and darrker a part of me knew this was only a myth but i drilled it into myself so much that that is what i needed to do anyways as obvioulsy it doesn't work like that i'm not feeling as desperate to shave anymore...But it does make me feel manly when i do

[Guest julia_d]

Body hair.. on me errrrr no, not at all.. anywhere ever. Not because I feel pressured into shaving it off, just because I don't like it on me... but I like it on a man.. gives me something to get hold of.

[Guest shmrckdog]

I keep my legs buzzed because I have tattoos on my legs I'd like poeple to be able to see. I am hairy with out taking T might be a bear once I start

[Guest Keane]

When my mom would tell me to shave, I'd tell her that hair couldn't be evil because it was what grew there naturally. If God put the hair there, how can it be bad? That shut her up.

OWNED!!!!

I used to shave obsessively, my entire body, because I was denying my gender identity a little cuz I was in love with a straight boy.

Now I only shave occasionally, not at all in the winter, but in the summer when I knw I'm gonna be swimming or something I might shave a few days before, just so it's not as noticeable. But for swimming I have a surfshirt that covers my underarms and I might get trunks so I'd only have to shave my lower legs

[Guest joey]

I like what little body hair I have so I don't shave any of it. I'm not blond but I have very light brown hair so my leg hair is naturally thin and light in color. So it's not too noticeable anyway.
