Would You Date A Hairless Man?

"Experts" say that women like a hairless man, but are they right?

Back in junior high health class, we were told that the sudden appearance of hair on our nether regions and underarms (not to mention our arms and legs, and for boys — chests) wasn't just fine, it was a healthy indicator that we were developing into adult sexual beings with the fur to hold onto our new sexy scents.

But outside of health class, most of us humans of the female variety were told that our new hair was unsightly, something to be gotten rid of, bleached, or ridiculed. We were bombarded with ads for chemical hair removers and pink lady razors. We were encouraged to try such nutty contraptions as the Epi-lady.

And, of course, all of this occured as the boys we knew took joy in their new treasure trails and downy forearms. Would You Marry Into A Hairy Situation?

At least, that's how we remember it. But if the CBS Early Show is right, our memories will soon be just that; because according to their "experts" at Completely Bare (a New York hair removal shop), a new generation of men who are just as obsessed about their body hair as women is on the rise.

We know what you're thinking: "Aren't you just talking about manscaping, and isn't manscaping so five years ago?"

Oh, gentle reader. We only wish this was the case. But no, we are talking about the same level of hair removal one might expect from an up-and-coming adult film actress starring in a series of videos called "Naked Munch." In other words: zero hair. Adult Films And Your Man

"Right now a hairy man is not an attractive man, if you ask most women," Cindy Barshop, of Completely Bare, tells the CBS Early Show. And — at least in the case of her customers — more and more men are opting to go bare everywhere, including down there.

But is a hairless man really a sexier man? Do most women really like the idea of getting it on with a man who has no pubic hair? Or do they, as this author does, find a complete lack of hair on a man a little weird?

 

Can you relate?

I LOVE my man's hair on his chest, his legs, his underarms, I love all of it. I don't have a hair fettish, I simply love my man and the longer we have been together the more I adore it. If I would have been asked a few years ago how I felt about chest hair, I would have said it was creepy like an old man.... Now I find myself running my fingers through my man's chest hair every monring with delight.

Body hair is there for a reason. It protects some very delicate parts from friction, and in some instances provides necessary friction in certain places.

Hair removal, unless a laser is used, is a endless process... a never ending cycle of stubble, painful irritation, and rough stubble.

Missionary position sex is very satisfying if the guy can grind his pelvic bone against your clitoris...but is no fun if it is covered with prickly stubble. Pubic hair makes a great texture, like so many sex toys and condoms are textured for more stimulation.

I would never date a hairless guy..... unless he had a really good reason... like chemotherapy.

This could be a tipping point. I'm not sure what's on the other side, but this could be the moment by which a colossal BEFORE and a colossal AFTER are defined.

I don't know if it's a generational thing, but no, I don't like the idea of a hairless man. I like hair on a guy's arms and legs, too.

I used to think it may be more of a generational difference as well, and, to some degree, is. But we've got a female radio DJ that is roughly the age of an ex of mine who is 15 years older. The DJ desires a hairless man - no hair except for what is on his head. My ex on the other hand has commented that it would make her feel like she was sleeping with a pre-pubescent guy.

Yeah, I know its not a huge age difference...

Okay, another theory here. It might have to do with the guys you grew up with. Some ethnic groups are a lot hairier than others.

I can follow that. I'm naturally fuzzy (thank god not wooly mammoth hirsute) thanks to the mexican and italian in me.

Hair gets in the way of possible sensation-producing activities on both genders.

However, he needs to have head hair long enough for me to run fingers through and pull. I cheerfully admit to a hair fetish.
