I...Have you never heard of "man-scaping"? It's not confined to models and gay men. Lots of men today are shaving off portions of their body hair. A surprising percentage of men are shaving their testicles, and some younger guys all their pubic hair. Also, many men and women take an in-between position, with pubic hair cut short but not shaved. <br /><br />But for women "having" to shave, I agree with Bijoux. I shave my legs and armpits (thats it) every day in the shower. It takes virtually no time and I love the silky way my skin feels.

I've had a beard most of the time since I was 20 and I haven't shaved my mustache since I got out of boot camp in 1972 -- before I met my wife the next month. For me, I guess it started out to be a way to be different in the regimented society of the US Navy. By the time I got out almost 9 years later, it was my "norm." Just like the hair on top of my head, though, if it gets too long, I have to trim it back, but I also don't have to deal with shaving on a daily basis.<br /><br />The US Navy hasn't allowed beards since 1984.<br /><br />Mikehttp://exit78.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-21831934838532861312014-01-05T15:38:01.619+00:002014-01-05T15:38:01.619+00:00Bijoux: If it only takes you one minute a day to d...Bijoux: If it only takes you one minute a day to deal with your body hair, you're very lucky!<br /><br />My underarm hair never smells, but maybe I'm just fortunate?<br /><br />Susie: Ah, swimming, the constant crisis for women everywhere!

I'm not particularly fond of hairy males, but to each her own. One thing I've always wondered is how men can put up with a big clump of underarm hair? The smell of perspiration must cling to it and I don't think I could handle it on my own body.Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.com
