SlevinKalebra Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Not just talking about the boys. Is body hair in general a turn off. Does trimming jump the border from metro to overly feminine?
terra Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 No body hair isnt' a turn off and I actually appreciate a little trimming (although not necessary).
denise_xo Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I generally think people obsess too much about body hair. It's quite far down on my list of turn ons/offs. The things I can think of that really don't appeal to me are Ottoman empire style mustaches and long, unkempt beards. If a man prefers to trim wherever, I think he should just do whatever he's comfortable with. What really irritates me are the people who argue for eradication of body hair on the basis of hygiene. It's about soap and water, not about trimming or shaving.
johan Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Yesterday while running the trails I saw a guy with his shirt off. His back was covered almost like fur. That was one hairy dude. He didn't seem too self-conscious about it. Made me laugh a little bit though. For an instant I thought "Oh sh*t, Is that a bear??"
quankanne Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 grass on the playground is always a nice thing I do draw the line at hairy backs, though ... something creepy about that!
tami-chan Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I am not into hairy guys...and trimming THAT part is nice... I think all women should get rid of hair on their private parts and face(except the eyebrows, of course)-do it by waxing, or laser or threading. Do not shave!
Art_Critic Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 For an instant I thought "Oh sh*t, Is that a bear??" hahaha... I saw a guy like that when I was a teenager, he was in the neighborhood pool..
Knittress Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I don't appreciate the extreme grooming standards placed on women. I think I read on one of these threads here that some dude was 'grossed out' when his girlfriend missed a spot in shaving a particularly hard to reach area. (Is he GAY?!) I like being smooth shaven, but I think hair looks a lot better than those nasty little red bumps that pop up a week later. On guys... I don't care much. Metro is fine, natural is fine - as long as things aren't too scraggly or patchy.
bobdole Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 On me(guy - hope its obvious): I trim "down there" with a 1 guard every week to 2 weeks. I have about 3 hairs on the tip of my nose that I shave every week or so. I occasionally have a wild eyebrow hair I jerk out. As mentioned in the other thread, I shave my nipple hair if I'm going to be shirtless or intimate with a lady. I trim my beard/goatee/chinstrap/whatever you want to call it (don't label me! haha) every week at the same time with my head hair. On women: If their legs are showing I like them to be smooth. If they aren't showing I couldn't care less. I may still want to touch them to massage them though. It doesn't bother me. Facial/chest/armpit hair is a pretty big turn off - take care of that. Pubic hair - it needs to be trimmed or shaven if you expect oral. Call me a perv or fetish but I think a giant bush can be very sexy
TaraMaiden Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I think all women should get rid of hair on their private parts There's nothing more revolting than a middle-aged woman trying to look like a 12-year old around her crotch area. It's frankly undignified, and in my opinion, gross. Trim, neaten, keep in shape? Yes. Remove completely? Yech.....

It's frankly undignified, and in my opinion, gross. Trim, neaten, keep in shape? Yes. Remove completely? Yech..... Nothing to do with trying to look like a 12-yr. old at all. It just makes it more er..pleasant... for your OB-Gyn to do her or his check ups! I do not recommend shaving because too many instances of folliculitis.
brainygirl Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Human adults have body hair. Personally, I think that keeping my downstairs shaved is a huge pain in the ass. On guys I don't care, although I tend to not be terribly attracted to men who bear-like body hair. But I'd rather see and be with someone who's comfortable in their own skin than wit someone who's always worried about his, and my, grooming. Hygiene is not grooming, grooming is not hygiene.
TaraMaiden Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Nothing to do with trying to look like a 12-yr. old at all. It just makes it more er..pleasant... for your OB-Gyn to do her or his check ups! I do not recommend shaving because too many instances of folliculitis. 'Pleasant'? For whom? With all the exposed mucous membranes it's positively more awkward and dangerous for a woman to remove all her hair. Which is there for a reason, after all. I actually tried this once. I had it waxed (God that was painful!) And frankly, if I have to make it easier for my Ob-Gyn to do his or her check - then they shouldn't be doing the job. Besides, that's a poor argument. For every woman who is completely clean of hair, there are 100 who aren't. I've never had my Ob-Gyn complain about that.... And my OB-Gyn said it was an inadvisable thing to do, because hair is there to cover and protect, prevent excess dryness, and stops possible infection by filtering dirt, and prevents fabric chafing. I think it looks thoroughly ugly, and women of a certain age should steer clear of doing this. This is of course, entirely my opinion, but I think it's one for the younger ladies, who have little or no thought for personal health safety and rather, believe that 'looks' are more important.

Oh I am sure that is not a requirement for any OBGYN..that was just my preference. And I am not arguing with you. I was expressing my preference and opinion which btw, you responded quite rudely. You need to perhaps, respect other people's opinion and preferences. Clearly, you need to do more meditation and introspection. And my OB-Gyn said it was an inadvisable thing to do, because hair is there to cover and protect, prevent excess dryness, and stops possible infection by filtering dirt, and prevents fabric chafing. ahm...sure...not that big of a deal in my opinion. I think it looks thoroughly ugly, and women of a certain age should steer clear of doing this.I do not think it is ugly. If you think it is, then er...that's your problem. But to say it is because some people want to look 12 years old is in my opinion projection... don't project how sick your mind is This is of course, entirely my opinion, but I think it's one for the younger ladies, who have little or no thought for personal health safety and rather, believe that 'looks' are more important. that is correct that is your opinion which fine. No need for you to be rude and offensive! the "personal health safety" of pubic hair is not a do or die thing...sure it can protect from rubbing and friction but it also traps moisture that causes the smell...here's the operative word for you..."can".
TaraMaiden Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Oh come on, chill!! It's a light-hearted thread! It's not like we're talking about female circumcision, abortion or euthanasia! fer crying out loud, I thought we were just having a laff... If I'd known you were going to take this so seriously, I'd have worn my sack-cloth and ashes.... "Meditation and introspection"...? on whether pubic hair should or should not be removed? Jeesh - Give me a break! :laugh:
CLC2008 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Not just talking about the boys. Is body hair in general a turn off. Does trimming jump the border from metro to overly feminine? Is body hair a turn off? No, unless you're a sasquatch, then it could be "iffy". Trimming is cool, shaving your entire body bald = not cool.
sanskrit Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Hair on hair creates a slight electric current, in addition to the currents we pass naturally during human contact. You can see mild static sometimes in the dark, hair has stick around a long human historical time in the pubic areas for more than just protection

Rorschach Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I shave my pits and my crotch, it looks better *to me* and it helps with the smell which is awesome (nothing turns me off more than a stinky crotch). I prefer my women shaven or at least heavily trimmed, I don't like eating hair.
Norville_Rogers Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Sometimes...too much hair is not a good thing.
bac Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Not just talking about the boys. Is body hair in general a turn off. Does trimming jump the border from metro to overly feminine? If I have sex with a man, it is a turn off if he has hair on his balls.
tigressA Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I love a lot of hair on a guy. I wouldn't even care if his back was covered in it. I prefer when a guy doesn't shave his pubes. I don't shave there either. I trim, though.
that girl Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Excessive body hair isn't a turn on, but it isn't a deal breaker either. When it comes to body hair, I think the real turn off is the guy who makes a huge deal about a woman having any pubic hair or if she has skipped shaving her legs for 2 days.
9Lives Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I won't go downtown if he has hair down there. I like a clean fresh area to play with. so much easier *for me*. men with hair on their backs is a big turn off. I don't really like took much chest hair especially if it looks like taco meat. the mustache needs to be trimmed and beard needs to be trimmed too. I don't like hair nose coming out. gross I like my arms and my cha cha trimmed very low or bald. especially in the summer when u do a lot of sweating.
Stung Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I don't really like took much chest hair especially if it looks like taco meat. . :lmao: I'm not sure if I'll look at taco meat the same way, ever again. As for the 'the bald look is nicer for your OB-Gyn' argument, while I am not myself an OB-Gyn, I am friends with one, related to another, and spent an awful lot of time with another during my high-risk pregnancy. I have heard from all 3 of them that female pubic hairlessness is an ill-advised trend they'd like to see go out of style. More prone to infections, etc. And as was mentioned, the folliculitis that so often goes with shaving. My take on male body hair: I have been turned on by naturally smooth men, and turned on by hairy men. I am not turned on by men who spend a lot of time worrying about their own and/or my body hair--as somebody else said, that suggests they are not comfortable in their own skin. Trimming in the pubic area is not necessary unless there's serious overgrowth, but it is nice. I tend to not want to put balls in my mouth if they're really hairy. Fully shaving the crotch can be fun sometimes for a change, but a grown man who shaves his crotch constantly is a little off-putting. If there's a thick rug on his back he might want to consider getting that taken care of, but light shoulder patches are no big deal. As for women, there are people who like big bush and people who like a smooth dune, for different reasons. I myself, and my husband, prefer variety, so we go for both and everything in between at different times, and will probably continue to cycle through them all as we age and until we die, depending on how much extra-grooming time we have on our hands. We'll be wrinkled old coots having sexytime shaving parties, if we feel like getting our retirement-home freak on.
