I'm not as hairy as that pic above, but I am extremely hairy. Therefore, I have my wife give me a "shearing" with my beard trimmer about every six months. This way I don't have back hair growing out my fvcking shirt collar.

Good idea, cause otherwise you might look like a werewolf. :)

Speaking of which, there is a disorder where you're so hairy you actually do look like wolfman from the old horror flicks. :)

I know that the first time you shave your beard it grows back a little faster, maybe thicker. It's certainly not a very noticable increase in speed/thickness. That might stop once your beard/body hair is fully grown in though.

I'm gonna shave my pits soon. it's just too much to deal with BO, it's a waste of good clothes when you stink them up in a flash. Only downfall is that it's soooooo itchy the first day or two

I shave my entire "front" - chest, tummy around the belly button, and nether region. Trim the pit hair.

Girls do it, why don't we have to? Body hair is worthless and unsightly.

Dont shave it completely. If you have a hair clipper set it to a 0 (no accessory) - it doesn't itch like it would if it were bare.

I shave my arms, pits, stomach, and "trim" my "special area" :p

Shave body hair ?? How is that even possible ? I mean hair is so small and thin how could you possibly shave hair ? And what would you be shaving on it ?

Does hair have hair on it ??

I dislike body hair greatly. I shave pits, chest, stomach, and trim other areas.

Shaving leaves annoying stubble. I prefer removing the hair. Unfortunately it's more time consuming.
 

I like my man clean shaven. The chest hair's got to go. The hairy arm has got to go. Hairy legs? Ewwww! I don't mind insignificant hair, but obvious hair? Yuck! I don't care if people say it's gay, for that's the look I'm attracted to. If he can't make the sacrifice, then maybe he really doesn't care for the relationship.

As for me, I'm not hairy, so I don't have much to shave. I do occasionally shave though since I'm in a field that requires that. I can't have a speck of hair. ;)

Hey, Storm, I'm not sure you answered the question! Maybe if you answered it, someone won't repeat the question? ;)

If I don't shave my front side, I look like Austin Powers. The wife does NOT like that! :eek:

im sorry im not going to devote any time to shaving
im not really hairy, i have blonde facial hair, so you can hardly tell when i go a week w/o shaving my face
im 24 years old and have to shave my face once a week
its nice like that, but i hate to shave my face so im sure as hell not going to shave anywhere else.
and i dont know if im alone here, i think there are some underlying perversions when a woman is completely shaved.
something about a full grown woman having no hair is sick. its natural for a woman to have hair. it is unnatural and creepy for a man to want a fully shaven woman. sorry. and you know of which part of the body im speaking of.
