Body Shaving

Remove all ads!

Well I don't know about you, but I have been noticing many of my peers shaving various body parts. e.g. males shaving armpits, legs, arms and etc. Just because I used males in my example doesn't mean I don't see females doing it too. This goes to both sides. Is this just some Highschool Trend? Another teen thing? or do you see adults doing it too? Do you see this as bad thing, a good thing? Post your views and options about this topic, Share your experiences but try to keep it clean please. If I missed anything, point it out.

 

Just one thing to note. Women who shave their well *ahem* are definately on to something right about body shaving.

 

I would'nt shave my armpits and there is no way ANYTHING with a blade is going down there.

 

It's all about personal hygiene. Armpits and "dwonstairs" can get pretty gross and smelly. So if it works for you then go ahead...

 

Is doesn't get smelly if you wash it regularly, like in every day.

 

So I guess you guys have never tried to wear pantyhose or tights over hairy legs? God, does that ever ITCH!

Shaving of other body parts is largely an American cultural quirk. I'm accustomed to seeing smooth legs and armpits on women, and I prefer the feeling of smooth skin on myself. What I do with other parts is between me, Velcro, and my bathing suit.

In professional cycling, racers will often shave their legs. This isn't so much to lessen wind resistance as to make road rash from the inevitable crash easier to heal.

 

Oh to be a bathing suit j/k

Seriously, shaving is getting more common. As America gets more vain more trends like this will catch on.

Its common for muscular men to shave their arms and torso, so as to better show-off their muscles.

Some other men will take a pair of scissors "down-there" to trim back the jungle a bit. Gives a cleaner look, and if the hair looks smaller other things tend to look larger (just read an article about this in Men's Health).

Sheesh, I can't believe we're talking about this!

 

Mathetais,

I think you may have tarnished your halo a bit on this one!

 

I may be a holy man, but I'm still a man!

 

If you're a man with hair enough to cause a problem I could understand that. But shaving your armpits? Some new guy who came into the army after me did that, and it didn't take long till people thought him a gay. Whatever my opinion of that is, I do agree that there's something out of place with a male who shaves his armpits or anything else for that matter.

With females on the otherhand I've accepted the common fashion of liking shaved females the best. I'm not speaking of the nether regions, just the legs and armpits. No supersilky skin is required of course. But I find women who neglect to shave their mustache absolutely abhorring. If I can so much as see a twitch of a short hair on a woman's face I already consider her as a man. And as I'm not a man's man, you could definitely call that a major turnoff.

 

Hair is an annoyance. It traps smells. If a person wants to get rid of any hair on his/her body, they should go for it. Women should stay well waxed, and men should do something if they look like gorillas.

My two cents.

 

OMG that was written in a humorous way.

 

Sticking with the mentionable parts of the body, I can't stand to go without shaving my legs. Maybe a couple of days, at the most. And it may just be a cultural thing, or something I've gotten used to, but it just feels weird and unnatural for me. Same as with under the arms, though that is also an odor thing, as others have mentioned.
I'm going to stick with Rallymama's general idea about any other body part.

 

In case of men I agree with LKD: they should definitely do something about their hair when they begin to look like gorillas. It can be awful... But so long as they aren't overhaired, it's their own problem, I don't care.

With women things are different. I agree with Foradasthar about facial hair. And well, if it's an American quirk for women to shave legs, hands and armpits then praise US! At least this one time In my case hairy legs, hands or armpits aren't a major turn off, though. They're simply a complete turn off. No way. Physically. Like a dead trout.

 

My wife doesn't shave her legs all winter. She's blonde, so you really can't tell though.

Not talking about anything else!

 

A lady friend of mine recently made me an offer I couldn't refuse; specifically "if I can shave yours you can shave mine" Not something I'd have thought to be my cup of tea, but it was very sexy! Highly recommended foreplay!

(BTW: Shaving foam tastes bad... )

 

Extremely interesting. Tell us all about your future exploits as well.

 

Not quite a lady of that friend of yours, but who am I to babble...

 

Funny, how almost noone yet has actualy admitted or said they have shaved "something" . Most of the posts are generally speaking, or about someone esle.

 

Well I do shave my moustache and beard. And the occational single long hair that somehow grows on my shoulder.
