should men shave their...

[Bearshield]

I don't know, I think it looks kinda weird when a guy shaves his legs/arms to be honest. And I think some chest hair is sexy. Now if a guy is starting to look like the wolfman, it's probably time to break out the razor, especially if he's growing a rug on his back. It's really never bothered me though that I shave my legs, armpits, and feminine area and my husband only has to worry about shaving his face.

If a guy wants to be with me, he has to be fully shaved. Grinding against hair hurts my soft bits and I don't like to eat it either.

If he decides to be a stubborn macho type and refuses to shave, I'm not shaving either.

I wonder if this topic would be ongoing or locked by now if it was girls..

I risk a flamefest but I shave every part of my body except my head. I think it just feels better and if women are expected to do it, why can't we? =)

For all you women out there that like a man with a bald body, maybe you should be asking yourself if your really interested in a man or a woman.

That's a bit of a weird statement..if a woman likes men who shave completely, you are implying that she might be a lesbian? How does that add up..like having a hairy body makes you more of a man than if you don't?

I really hate back hair.
Like a lot.
=P

But anything else is somewhat attractive to me. I like a little bit of chest hair, but not too much. And leg hair is nice too. =) But back hair is weird. I'd be uncomfortable with somebody who had a lot of back hair.

well I dont quite have the body of the guy in that pic, but I do shave regularly including arms, legs, back, and trim my armpits along with the groin region.

reason why? I swim. Shaving for me is not for the feeling, its for speed.
only reason i dont actully shave my armpits is due to a infection another Swim team member got, he was unable to swim so I just trim.

I thought body hair is linked to testosterone lvl, hence is a symbol of masculinity, so of course women would remove it.

Just ask yourself, who is more manly - a dwarf, or a BElf?

When I was in high school some of the boys on the track team would shave their legs because it supposedly made them more aerodynamic. Some of the girls thought it was attractive, most thought it was just strange. I personally am naturally very hairy (I mean 1970's porn movie hairy!). I usually trim the "Grass and Hedges" when they start getting too unruly. This time of the year I tend to just let my chest hair grow, in the spring and summer when I'm going to the pool or shirtless, I keep my chest trimmed and my back shaved. My problem is, now that I've hit my thirties, I'm starting to get the middle age bushy eyebrow and ear hair, I keep that trimmed religously!

Not to mention, hairlessness is actually a pre-puberty thing...

[Daws001]

The only part of a man's body I would consider mandatory to shave/wax is the back. Hairy backs are just gross. Otherwise, just trim the rest and I'm good. I prefer a man with hair vs smooth bodied. It's masculine and sexy to me

[Synwyn]

I shave my chest and my special place. The lady hates chest hair, and it makes your stuff look bigger.

[Felicia]

My fiance is hairy. Wouldn't have him any other way. :P He shaves regularly though, but he still has five o'clock shadow even after he shaves with a trimmer AND his mach 3. He keeps his 'beyond' trimmed, that's about it. Face and nether regions. lol

[Tefty]

Wax and Shave regularly all over, helps define 10 hours a week down the gym... I don't spend all that time to have it hidden under hair.

[Hitzler]

lol gotta keep things the southern area clean for teh ladies, but legs, chest pits etc, that would be weird...

I consider my beard an integral part of my physical identity. While I don't seek to promote my gender above another, I like being able to take pride in what I am the same way that women I know-such as my mate-take pride in their sexuality. I can see how someone might take that feeling and run with it.
I remember once hearing an imam make the connection between women wanting their man to shave their face and a woman wanting to make their man look like a woman.

[Vermicious]

I'm a gay male, and happen to be fairly smooth myself... I only shave my face, nowhere else. I prefer guys who basically do the same, but a nice trim beard/goatee works too. A bit of a trim in some areas is fine if its too long. Back hair does NOT bother me. Hairy men are sexy. Naturally smooth guys are sexy, and everything inbetween The ones that bother me are the obviously shaved, and the ones with stubble... dunno how they stand it!

That's a picture of Red Shirt Guy.

[TaylorGang]

I shave everything but my legs (arms\armpits\chest\the unmentionables) But its not out of me feeling like I should for anyone. I just like that 'look' better on me. I'm not a lumber jack, therefore I don't think I should have forest on me anywhere =D

[Harlyboy]

I cut my lawn before i go out. Just remember... No girl wants to brush and floss at the same time

[brirrspliff]

hands/legs/chest or 'the beyond' and no i don't mean completely, like this guy (seriously what the hell is up with the guy?)

so do you think men should also take care of themselves like women do?

haha, lol, muahaha. even if this topic is not serious, dude, whats wrong with you? that guy has all-hairy-legs. maybe he shaved his breast, maybe not. you know, there are males without ape-like-hair. many. my opinion: evolution. read it up. e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n. ;-)
