So on that note, I voted no.


I wasn't arguing cultural relativism, at least not intetntionally. Honestly I'm not familiar enough with the term to know if I am or not.
You can see where, from a biological perspective, less hair is more appealing. It indicates youth, some hair is necessary because it indicates sexual maturity. Complete absence of hair, like daily bathing, is a cultural phenomenon and should be, I believe, regarded with suspicion therefore.

Honestly though, I'm ambivalent at best. My wife isn't very hairy, if she doesn't shave I don't mind.

factoring in anything else I want? Definitely. Honestly, what happens if you get married and suddenly your wife decides she doesn't feel like shaving anymore? Maybe she's too tired or the kids are nagging her. I mean, come on....most guys aren't all that impressive to look at nude, but women have to be gorgeous all the time? Yeah right.

agreed. i wonder how people thought playboy from the 80s is sexy... :confused:

hmm, i'd have to disagree w/ you guys there. although i do prefer for some "trimming," no hair at all just makes it look like a 10 year old's.

How do you know what naked 10 year old girls look like??

Maybe he has a daughter. ;)

Not that I would know what naked 10 year old girls look like.

But... but.,.. aren't you a naked 10 year old girl? Dammit! :Q;):D:p

It seriously grosses me out. Women with armpit hair and guys kissing are just things I can't look at! It seriously makes me ill. I don't have anything against people who do what they want, but i don't wanna see it. EVER.

no, you are not superficial. that is just plain disgusting. :disgust:

To your culture maybe. In other times and places it would be nothing other than natural. It's all a matter of perspective.

Yes, it is my culture. I accept that other cultures are different, but personally, i shave..so, its just my .02!:)

and i prefer you keep it that way :)

I'm ambivalent.

Does it ever concern you that you feel it necessary to modify what is your normal state (e.g. with hair) in order to not define yourself as disgusting?


Exactly. We've been sold. :)
I think it's all about changeable attitudes, values and beliefs about sex over time.

Today woman should be cleanend shaved all over the body, tomorrow it's something else. It's at a given point a cultures 'commonoly' agreed values on whats sexual that determans that.....TV, advertisment, theater, movies books magazines etc will let us know what we should feel and think....we are constantly bombarded with values. Sex sells so our obsession with what is sexy will ofcourse preoccupy our way of life.

under the proper circumstances, yes.

1. she keeps her shirt on.
2. she gives really good head.
3. she has lots and lots of money.

of course, I would date nearly anyone who meets these requirements

Don't ever get married cause the wife won't shave on a daily basis, guaranteed. There'd be no need any longer.

So long as you admit that there's nothing innately wrong with it, and that your response is a conditioned one.

Essentially, you're one of Pavlov's dogs.

If I married a woman who just gave up on herself I wouldn't stand for it. I only want a girl who will take care of herself. Of course shaving pits isn't exactly taking care of yourself per se, but If you're just gonna fall apart when you get married, then you shouldn't get married in the first place.

Just wait until you get married. :p But really it's a shame something so natural "seriously makes you ill." To answer the question, yes, and I've known some very attractive girls who didn't shave at least some of the time...

Oh, and I happen to find guys kissing very sexy. ;)

But we all know you are a freak who refuses to conform to the norms of society.

If thats was the worst of the problems she would have hell yes. A little hair is better than some psycho.

Edit
Given theNEOone's descriptive, I sure would. I voted yes

I wouldn't mind if she truly did not like to or felt more comfortable not doing it.. after all its her body.. but then again I'm a little more hairy than the average guy so I guess I'm biased

Never said she gave up on herself.......but job, kids, cleaning house, cooking, etc. take time, energy, and shaving pits and legs sometimes falls down the ladder in importance. Just life in general. Come back when you turn 50 and tell me the same thing.

How true, how true. Especially seen in all the "got her number, should I call her?" and "How do I talk to her?" threads.

Pretty much me answer as well. Another thing... I honestly don't care if people think it is superficial. Everyone is superficial and denying it only shows how much of a liar you are. Are there people here who would date a 500lb man with EXTREMEE body odor? If not, how superficial of you!

Some people have certain attractiveness standards that they follow. To say you don't is simply LYING.

Most not all. Now if I did find a bitch that would walk on all fours and wore a choke collar it would be awesome. Of course the bitch couldn't be a dog.
