Oh, they should do what they feel pleases themselves.

Doesn't mean, I don't have a preference!!

Alright, I do prefer a clean shaven face, nothing worse than having my skin destroyed by facial hair, LOL. But a 5 o'clock shadow can be very hot!

I don't mind some chest hair, but a man covered in hair, eh, no, not for me. I get the whole metrosexual thing, where everything is waxed and there isn't an ounce of hair, anywhere, but um, let's be realistic here...I don't want a Derek Jeter nor A-Rod of a man

Well, that is enough to make them smell in different ways

.

In general, it seems that what makes you unable to appreciate and enjoy the sexiness of that musky scent is being overly cognitive about something that should be sensual.

When people start treating food in the same overly cognitive way - counting calories, counting grams of carbs, thinking of protein content, etc. - they lose the normal, sensual way of appreciating the food for the hedonistic pleasure that it is.

Is is a big loss.

Should men shave? Does this include the time I shaved a cat?

Just wanted to add that while I prefer my bf as is (not much body hair and manscaped) I would be turned off by a metrosexual-man just as much as a grizzlybear-man. I don't think its appropriate for my man to spend more time infront of the mirror than me

Amen!

Since we have moved to this "area" of the forums ... I really liked my last bf just the way he was. I had absolutely no complaints. I would not want to change a thing about him in this particular dept. It was when he told me one day that he decided to manscape ... out of the blue ... I hate to say it, but I was kind of turned off.

If it made him feel good to do it that is great! But I still don't understand why he felt the need to tell me about it. Ugh.

Because sharing is caring?

I dont like full beards, sorry if offends. Stubble or a few days worth is fine. Any other body hair is totally ok with me. I dont like hairless men, especially if they werent born like that.

I'd shave my pits if it were more socially acceptable but many of my woman friends who say they don't like hairy pits also say they don't like smooth pits on a man. Can't win.

I guess we have to have "well groomed" armpits?

His heart then grasped a word. A word of hope. He believed he had nothing to lose. He poked his head through that narrow way. Behold, it was nearly crushing. Yet, he was somehow able to inch by inch, moment by moment, proceed. His face was nearly free! He could see others walking by! He wanted to join such a fantastic world!

He pawed his claws, it was coming easier now. He pulled himself up from his prison of darkness. All he has left to do, is take in the breathtaking view, thank his Creator, and scurry down the lane. Quite inspiring, when I think about the journey and the courage and the faith that rat most certainly possesses. What a rat indeed.

So that photo reminds me to never give up! You can be free Lightbulb7Seven!

Maybe it's just because I've felt kind of down-trodden lately but I read your cute story and it transforms into a story about perseverance of the little rat who fights for his freedom only to pop out under the nose of some golf club wielding bastard with a hatred for rodents!

or a snake waiting to jump out and grab it? Or sadistic teens with a baseball bat playing wack-a-rat?

In this instance, I am afraid, sharing was not caring

he should have just screwed in a blacklight and painted It neon green with an arrow tatt on his stomach pointing down thattaway

I think it depends, for both genders. Of course there are places that must be shaved.

So it all depends on the hair. Too much hair can be disgusting. Otherwise, it shows some masculinity.

I can't say whether men should shave their facial hair or not. Men differes on that of course and whether it suits them or not.

I once had my hair done in NYC by a hairdresser who was making house calls (it was a treat). He was a straight guy who shaved all his hair off his skull. He said that hair was a nuisance! And, he did look good! Sort of an "anti-ad" for a hairdresser to say that, but he did have a large client base, still.

You mean like 2girls1cup or tubgirl or any of the other wonderful things on the web?

Should we start a thread of nsfw shock sites?

Well I certainly hope that hairy legs on a woman isn't vomit-inducing.

NSFW isn't very safe on a mental health forum, if you were serious. We have to be careful about triggers.

But I do think a meme forum would be good, maybe a trigger meme forum. But the mod gods might not be too happy with that either.
