Do you shave your body hair?

[jockey_elance (imported)]

What are people's thoughts on shaving? I'm one of the guys here who still has my scrotum and it's contents, and I usually keep it shaved. It's more attractive to be smooth. I shave my legs and my chest for the winter, but not in the summer. It's embarrasing being around other guys wearing shorts and being hairless. When I'm wearing shorts I only want my nuts to be hairless, because almost no one will no about it.

I would like to be free of both body and facial hair. I tried shaving my legs once, just recently, and really liked the look and feel of having them hairless. I also try to trim and spot shave some of my other body hair.

Prefer the "natural" look. Maybe I'd feel otherwise if I were very hairy (think Robin Williams). It's just easier not to bother with elaborate cosmetic routines. I feel that I am what I am, to paraphrase Popeye, and the world can like me or leave me as it sees fit. I'm not vain about my appearance (and believe me, I have little reason to be), so efforts at primping and preening seem futile.

It's become the norm for women to trim or shave their pubic hair, and this is a turn-off. Much prefer the old-time bush. More to look at, and more suggestive and flirtatious - the final veil.

Male models shave their bodies, for a smooth, clean, feminine look in ads. Some men (usually gay) copy the models. But true g0ys like men as they are - sweet lithe-limbed twinks, or hulking grizzly bears. I don't seek feminized men. Give me a man, or give me a woman.

Well I am in phase two of my life, I was very hairy before Castration, but sense I have almost no body hair, no underarm hair, very little pubic hair, and my beard is softer and grows much slower, the only thing that is about the same is the hair on my lower arms but it is finer and softer, the hair on my bald head is now growing again, where I had 7 hairs I now have thousands but its so fine and short I still have that bald is beautiful look.

I shave for a few reasons, I guess. Whatever they are, I've learned a few things.

- Nair works fine, but fuck me, it stinks. If you can stand the smell for 3 solid days after, use it.

- I can use Nair on my 'upper' pubes (above the willy) but yeah... don't use that stuff on the inner tops of your legs or nuts. Ouch.

- Best pubic shaving method I've found;

- Use beard trimmer first on upper area, but never on the ball-sack. You WILL cut yourself.

- First, soak as long as you can in the tub.

- Shave in direction of growth first, then go backwards.

- doing your nuts; try to keep one hand (your 'other' hand, the one you don't write/shave with) dry of shaving cream, or keep a towel handy and keep drying that hand. This makes it 'grippy' enough to tug your scrotum taught.

- USE your balls (if you have them!). Streatch the skin around one, and shave along that area; then roll the skin over it and do the next area.

- Use a (safety!) razor that has been used ONCE on your face already. I find a brand-new razor makes tiny cuts too easy.

Legs take abso-fucking-lutely too long with a razor. Seems like it takes me an hour. Therefor, save up for a couple of bottles of Nair (or whatever). And yeah, you will need more than one if you are a big guy.

I've never liked my body hair. I started thinking of having it removed as soon as it started growing more, which was also around the time I started thinking about having my genitals removed (age 9-10 or so).

I really got into it at one point in high school, keeping my entire body very well shaved for over a year. I've tried to go back to shaving my body, most recently a few days ago, but I'm pretty hairy now, so it takes a lot of time, the results are far from perfect, the hair grows back quickly, and I get lots of irritation/ingrown hairs. I'm giving up on shaving again. I'm looking forward to any decrease in body hair that may come with my castration, and when I have the money, I'll probably be looking into permanent removal methods.

I think removal of body hair can be related to castration; both involve getting rid of something associated with being a man.

Wonder why humans don't have moulting season like other mammals?:D

Gee! It's so disappointing that Bobover doesn't look anything like his avatar.

Bet that's ruined many a fantasy.

Im the same way, I keep fully shaved all over my body in the winter, and let it start growing back in late spring, with exception of my pubic hair and upper thigh hair, which I keep shaved off all year long. I love the feeling of a fresh pair of nylons on my freshely shaved legs and its hard for me to let it grow back. I keep the upper thigh shaved, like from the top of my knee and up. So when I do wear a pair of nylons, this is the area I love to stroke and carress anyway.
