Body hair poll

[SallyMander]

Edit to add the trimming :D

[Jamastiene]

1. Let's just say that someone tends to be vury hairy

and would like to appear less woolly mammothy. What wax would you waxers recommend?

[SallyMander]

3. I'm a shaving gal myself

but some people swear by wax -- i'll have to check back for your replies. :)

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

to get my thread locked. :evilgrin:

[Guava Jelly]

9. That would be bad.

8. I shall answer your question

[SallyMander]

13. It is apparent you did not vote in the right spot

:D

:hi:

[billyskank]

18. Oops

Corrected. :hi:

[SallyMander]

21. :-)

How are you doing tonight? :hug:

[billyskank]

29. I'm ok

I hope you're well. :hug:

[Writer]

56. But you don't actually shave your body, do you?

It's it just your head and face?

[billyskank]

65. No.

I shave my pits and chest from time to time, when I feel like it, but not regularly like my head and face.

[Writer]

66. I'm curious - why do you shave your chest?

[billyskank]

67. Because I have hardly any hair there anyway.

I just get a few straggly long hairs growing around my nipples, and I think it looks stupid, so I shave them off from time to time.

I do my pits, on the other hand, just because I quite like it. I don't see why it should be only women who have nice armpits.

[quip]

96. ZOMG!!!!111 BILLY NIPPLES!!!!!

:thumbsup:

[billyskank]

104. OMG WHERE??

:o

[quip]

108. In your mirror, under your shirt!

[Xipe Totec]

11. I have to trim my eyebrows

to keep them from poking my eyes.

If I let them grow out, I could comb them back to hide my bald pate.

[SallyMander]

16. ...

:spray:

[Xipe Totec]

44. Why do you hate the Basque?

[SallyMander]

49. OMG -- is that real???

And does he shave his neck? :scared:

[Xipe Totec]

53. Don't know if that particular one is real,

but I had a school mate who, by 8th grade, had a beard that merged into his chest hair.

[Xipe Totec]

64. And here's another one...

[phrigndumass]

73. I was wondering what happened to Al Borland ... eom

[Quantess]

76. That's a bear if I've ever seen one.

People have fetishes for that, ya know.

[EnviroBat]

120. Chewbacca?

[hisownpetard]

14. Define your terms!

If you're talking about chin and brows,
I pluck as much as time allows.

If you're talking of legs, on the other hand,
I tend to shave upon demand.

But if the place of which you're speaking
sometimes demands a little tweaking,

the method I use, without a doubt,
is for me to know and you to find out!

[SallyMander]

17. !!!

Did you make that up??? :rofl:

[hisownpetard]

47. Yup, took about 2 minutes.

:party:

[SallyMander]

50. ...

[RetroLounge]

71. I found my poem for tomorrows thread!

:rofl:

RL

[hisownpetard]

86. It's not exactly what I'd like to be famous for, smarty-pajamas.

[RetroLounge]

92. We don't get to choose why we are famous, now do we?

:hi:

RL

[hisownpetard]

93. Evidently not, Mr. Red-Flannel Buttoned-Trap-Door.

[unpossibles]

123. nice!

that is awesome.

[Radical Activist]

19. Hmm...I'm not sure how to vote

this should be two separate polls.

[SallyMander]

22. Perhaps you need the "Combination" option?

:shrug:


:hi:

[AlCzervik]

20. i get my eyebrows threaded instead of plucking or waxing.

the rest is all shaving.

[SallyMander]

24. I don't even know what that is!

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

26. it's pretty cool and for me the result is better. in case you're interested---

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-QzPLgUTo

[SallyMander]

30. Wow -- that looks really neat

but i can't really understand how it works! The thread gets wound around the hair somehow?

[AlCzervik]

33. i don't really understand how she does the thread even though she's showed me a bunch of times

and it really comes out better then waxing which is something i've been doing for 20 years, the thread is far more gentle as well and almost as quick.

[TZ]

25. Okay let me put it diplomatically

I will shave my legs and under the armpits....but other places...au naturale shall we say?:evilgrin:

[SallyMander]

31. You and GoPsUx are gonna get me in trouble!

:D

[TZ]

38. ......

You ought to ask temeah,dustrange and orrex about that..I got a knack in helping them lock threads....:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. I'd tell a little story here

and I oughta just go ahead and Do It, since this thread's gonna get locked anyway. :D



But then, there's also Locking With Extreme Prejudice.

:scared:

[SallyMander]

34. You think so?

And what is Locking With Extreme Prejudice??? :scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. Locking

and having a pizza delivered to one or more posters.



When it comes to posting, I'm strictly vegan. O8)









Okay... vegetarian.

[SallyMander]

43. Nooooo!

I DID NOT ORDER A PIZZA! :yoiks:


And YOU are not vegetarian, because you are full of baloney! :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. Alas, 'tis true

I refrain from posting a great many things that enter my brain pan for fear of a visit from Little Caesar. :scared:

[no name no slogan]

28. I am not a manscaper

But I am clean-shaven from the neck up

[SallyMander]

32. Manscaping

:rofl:

[Quantess]

35. There are 2 categories I wanted to vote in!

I voted about my own grooming habits, but then I saw there's a preference of how I like my male partner, and I can't vote twice.

I would have voted that trimmed is good.

[SallyMander]

37. My fiance is a competitive cyclist

so his legs are often smoother than mine are. :D

[Quantess]

46. One summer, my boyfriend got the idea to shave his armpits

I had been telling him that keeping pits shaved makes them stink less.

Turns out, his armpits felt "sticky" when shaved.

[SallyMander]

52. Ewww, sticky pits

I think my fiance did it too -- to check if it would really help with the smell. Someone told him that's why guys smell worse than girls -- because the hair traps the BO. Or something. Turned out not to be the case though. :rofl:

[Quantess]

77. It's true for women. That's the main reason I get rid of body hair

-is because the hair traps the scent. For men, I don't know. I think men need the armpit hair to wick the moisture, but they also need more deodorant. Maybe a male will chime in and explain.

[Writer]

40. I have been lasering my legs and face for the last several months.

Worth every penny.

[SallyMander]

42. Does it hurt?

How long does it take?


:hi:

[Writer]

45. I don't think it hurts any more than waxing.

It's a bit shocking on the face, but I have been lasering my legs and bikini since June. I recently finished my last "official" treatment and only go in for touch-ups.

I'd say for the legs it takes four to six months (four to seven treatments with touch-ups in between.)

[DarkTirade]

51. I am male

but due to my mixed ancestry, I ended up with almost no body hair. :P

[SallyMander]

55. So is the hair on your head in response to that?

:D

[DarkTirade]

57. Possibly. :P

I still have patches on my face where no hair grows. And I didn't have enough chest hair to get in the way of the tattoo I wanted there until about the age of 23 or 24. And even so it's just barely enough to get in the way.

[SallyMander]

58. Iza can't grow facial hair on either side of his mouth

which really put a damper on his plans to grow a "trucker 'stache"


(whew!)

:rofl:


What's your tattoo?

[DarkTirade]

59. Well I didn't get it because of the hair. :P

But I wanted to get an egyptian scarab and sun disk, with the egyptian style wings spreading out across my chest.

I've always been into ancient egypt, and I wanted egyptian wings on me somewhere. I'm definately gonna get a wadjet eye on each shoulder. No hair there to get in the way. :)

[SallyMander]

61. That sounds neat

Make sure to post pics! :D

[DarkTirade]

62. Actually I found out the other day that a tattoo place in the area

was offering some promotional free tattoo thing, and I totally could have gotten at least one of my wadjet eyes done... except that I didn't have time. :\

C'est la vie.

[RadiationTherapy]

60. When I met my wife, I ONLY dated women with hairy legs/armpits

It was important to me that she be counter-culture enough to at least that. I love our natural selves. My wife waxes now as her mood shifts, but she stopped shaving/waxing at age SIXTEEN, which, IMO, is a very courageous thing to do at that young age.

I love my wife.

[SallyMander]

90. Neat pics!

Your wife is lovely. :hi:

[RadiationTherapy]

99. and she SEES everything!

[FloridaJudy]

63. I'm female

And I shave/wax my legs. Nature is allowed to take her course otherwise, but then I'm not naturally hairy: I might reconsider if I were. As for men, well I prefer a guy who looks like a guy, and not a prepubescent boy. Beards - in particular - are a turn-on. This chest waxing nonsense is unnecessary suffering, though if someone wants to get rid of the back hair I won't quibble.

[SallyMander]

115. You and the poster below agree on the back hair

Why is it that it's ickier than chest hair? (I agree, btw -- just wondering!)

[FloridaJudy]

119. I don't find it particularly icky

But some guys are self-conscious about it. If it makes them feel better to wax/laser, then I'd understand.

Totally hairless chests and naughty bits, on the other hand, look weird unless the guy is Asian or Native American and naturally less hirsute.

[Tektonik]

68. I'm a male

I don't touch my body hair. Maybe once a summer I'll wax my shoulder hair, but I think shaving/waxing body hair to be silly, ESPECIALLY pubic hair, etc. Why the fuck do men want to look like 5 year old boys.

I think upper back/shoulder hair is sort of gross, but anywhere else is fine.

[Withywindle]

69. Combination option here.

Female: I shave my legs and pits, nothing else. Well, I did do a Sinead O'Connor on my head once but I couldn't get away with it now.

For what I like aesthetically, women can go either way, but I like men to have a little bit of fuzz. I think it's sexy. Our animal natures, you know.

I don't think I'll ever get used to the look of totally hairless naughty bits. :scared:

[Critters2]

70. Female, shave in the summer, not in the winter.

Maybe if someone were to see those parts, I might change my habits.

[triguy46]

72. Started shaving legs as swimmer and biker, then just liked how my legs looked.

[SallyMander]

114. Same for my fiance

His legs are usually smoother than mine! :D

[xchrom]

74. aside from my legs -- i wax my chest and stomach --

shave, pluck and trim everything else.

waxing hurts like hell -- but i like the way it looks.

as for trimming -- ahem -- there -- i think it's only polite.

if and i appreciate the same on others -- and we all know the experience i'm talking about when someone doesn't.

[phrigndumass]

79. Yes! I hate flossing unintentionally!

:)

[BlueIris]

106. Okay, I don't necessarily like the sentiment here, but—hee.

I'm stealing that expression.

[phrigndumass]

121. You can have this one, too ...

If I wanted hair in there, I'd chew on Rummy's comb.

:hi:

[youthere]

116. LOL! That made me think of Will Ferrel in "Anchorman"

"I'm quite proud of my mane of pubic hair...thank you."

[NNadir]

75. My future wife refused to date me because of my mustache.

Once the issue became clear, I started shaving.

I have shaved ever since.

To be honest, I like it that she shaves her legs.

[Fox Mulder]

78. I'm a male and I shave my face and...

trim elsewhere.

I'll leave it at that.

[leeroysphitz]

80. Other: I'm an adult male and I'm as hairless as David Bowie in "The Man Who Fell Too Earth"

I don't have nipples either.

[last_texas_dem]

81. I'm pretty hairy, and I mostly keep it that way

I shave my face because it's a little too patchy to grow a decent mustache and beard, and I pull out a few other hairs higher up on the face to avoid the appearance of a unibrow. Trim the armpits and, uh... that other region from time to time just to keep it under control. But I let the rest of my body hair do its thing. And I've only had my head hair cut twice in two years, so I'm pretty hairy in general!

[lutefisk]

82. So if I just trim my ear hair, I'm lumped in with total body shavers?

That just doesn't seem right. :hi:

[CGowen]

109. You are probably doing the nose too n/t

[SallyMander]

117. LOL

The "Other" is for you! :D

[PittPoliSci]

83. i'm male.

i pluck eyebrows and do routine maintenance below the belt, but I will never shave/wax/trim my chest.

[Redstone]

84. Very few people know, and they're not saying.

Redstone

[krispos42]

85. This thread is useless....

without 'before' and 'after' pics!

:popcorn:

[NewWaveChick1981]

87. I shave my legs and underarms regularly, and I pluck my eyebrows...

...when they get too unruly. Everything else grows naturally. ;)

And I really like guys with body hair. :D :evilgrin:

[SarahB]

88. Well, that's pretty much only the business of

any partners, but men, check this out (seriously, chest hair is fine, but one doesn't want furballs). This is the funniest thing evah (especially click on the part that says "body"):

http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/

[graywarrior]

89. I take Nair baths.

I'm slick as a seal.

[billyskank]

91. You turn me on, you freak.

[graywarrior]

97. I try.

[billyskank]

98. You're the first person from the internets who said anything to me today.

[graywarrior]

101. I'm being ignored also.

But I don't care.

*snort*

[DarkTirade]

102. Alan likes that sort of thing? :P

[marzipanni]

105. Now *That* is eggy.

Eggnographic.

[SallyMander]

113. ...

:spray:

[FlyingSquirrel]

100. I wonder if a nude photo of myself would get this thread locked

My wife shaves her legs only when she knows they're gonna be in public view.... I don't mind. I hate when they're stubbly

[SallyMander]

111. OMG!

How did we get away with this?! :rofl: :thumbsup:


Edit - typo

[Raejeanowl]

103. Having Read This, I'm Now Going To Shave My Eyeballs n/t

[SallyMander]

112. OW!

Not recommended! :D

[youthere]

107. I wax /pluck/shave it all.

Legs, pits, eyebrows, and "other"

[billyskank]

118. Oh.

:blush:

[CGowen]

110. No itching after trimming? I can't believe that this is not an issue n/t

[unpossibles]

122. I have mixed feelings depending on a few things

generally speaking, I am not that hairy, but I sometimes do some manscaping too, and my face is generally shaved every 2 or 3 days (it grows back slowly enough to get away with every other day for the most part). I shave my face less often in the winter too, both from laziness and just because it's cold out.

Also, generally I am pretty neutral about hair on men or women. I don't tend to be as attracted to really hairy people, but that's not always true. I think shaved can be nice and is maybe my favorite, but it's about the farthest thing from being a deal breaker in my mind - I've dated shavers and non-shavers and it doesn't really bother me. If nothing else, as someone who sometimes just doesn't feel like shaving I think it would be hypocritical to expect more from others.

All that said I think underarm hair on girls is pretty sexy. Again, not anywhere near something I care about, but it's neat and I like it.

I'm just going to stop now before I get too graphic.... lol

[TommyO]

124. I'm a male who lets it grow

and I like men who let it grow. Give me a furry man, and I'm a happy boy.

Just one quick addition: I do shave and/or pluck my ear hair as appropriate, nature has this wonderful game of migrating hair from a man's head to his ears as they get older.

[IronLionZion]

125. Who knows about threading?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_%28epilation%29

This is probably the most affordable way if cost is a factor. All you need is thread. videojug.com shows how it is done if you want to search for it.

I don't do this. I used to get my back waxed until I met my girlfriend and she wants me to let it grow for some reason and made me promise not to wax anymore. I shave my face, pluck my unibrow, and wax or trim my neck. Yeah, you could call me Chewbacca. I used to look upon my hairiness as a negative...until I met a wonderful woman who loves it!
