Dear Mens:

Dear Mens,

Don't you dare shave off that beautiful body hair! Please, please, please! Not unless you like to, but don't do it out of societal pressure or because you think it's unacceptable or unattractive.

I could go into a big long argument as to why body hair on men is such a wonderful, beautiful thing, but instead, I shall show a brief slide show to demonstrate:

Yours,
Nacey.

Note: This isn't a slight to our lesser haired brethren. Indeed, I have a great many crushes who don't have an abundance of chestal hair growth (James McAvoy, Ted Raimi, Elijah Wood, Oded Fehr (though I suspect he might shave), the list goes on...). I just don't think men should buy into the bullshit that having body hair is somehow less hygenic. It's NOT. It's bad enough that women feel bad and are treated like lesser people if they accept their bodies for what they are and let the hair grow free. Are we going to make it worse and start shaming the other half of society as well? When are we going to let people do what they like with their bodies and respect them as people regardless? Or am I being a silly idealist again?

I shave pretty much everything because the feel of freshly-shaved skin feels awesome to me, but I never expected any of my boyfriends to do the same...my current boyfriend isn't hairy at all, but I've dated some pretty hairy guys in the past and it never bothered me. They would even ask if it bothered me and I was confused as to why it would!

Besides, if I were a dude I'd be way too terrified to shave down there. I do know a guy who has hair growing ON his dick...or so he says. Never seeing it, I don't know how bad it is, but he actually has to shave his penis (he says it's only around the base) because during sex the hairs get pulled out and causes rashes and pain for like days after :x Eep!

OW. Having a hairy dick sounds painful! Poor guy!

I like shaving my legs sometimes. I don't shave my pits but my hair there is so soft and brown there's no point. It's like fairy underarm hair. It glints gold in the sunlight!

Want to know something seriously hilarious about my pubes? They're brown at the front and BLONDE on the labia! Blonde from the clit to the back! I always make a joke that I'm brown on top and blonde down below! *laughs*

Ooo, multi-colored pubes! Fancy! :D

I have a landing strip by Small's request. I used to shave aaaall of it off, but he hinted that he likes a bit of hair down there so I was like "Eh, whatevs!" so I leave a bit for him XD I wash it with shampoo and conditioner and it are *~soft~*

I shampoo and condition mine as well. My exes have both said how soft my pubes are, which is awfully sweet of them. :)
