Hi 4chan, i'm going to be asking the same question on both /fa/ and /fit/ as i think these are the best places to ask.

My question is to guys only.

Do you think shaving leg hair is okay?
Do you think shaving arm hair is okay?
Do you have or do you shave your butt hair?
Same for chest hair, back hair and armpit hair?

If you do either of those mentioned above, please state why and if possible recall your first experience with it, how you felt afterwards etc.

Is it better suited to people who like other guys, or is it ok on straight guys too?

Do you wax or shave, also general body hair thread i guess.

i am a gay, slightly feminine male who wants to feel like he'd be attractive to other people, so i am perfectly fine with shaving my whole body and do it pretty regularly. i also just don't think i look good with body hair personally.

Don't shave your leg hair. It's pretty unmanly.

You arms you can shave but if it's really thick hair it's gonna be obvious and you'll look like a loser.

Don't shave your butt hair unless your a 100% gay bottom and even then I still wouldn't shave it. Also, as it grows back it'll be itchy as hell in your anus.

Chest hair is sexy as fuck but it's pretty common to shave it nowadays.

Same for armpit. This, in my opinion, is the only acceptable part of the body that you can shave. But only if it's a long long jungle.

Never shave your body with a razor because you'll get razor bumps, ingrown hairs in strange places, and it'll most likely itch as it grows back out.

For your armpit use an electric clipper so that even if you shave at 0 it'll still leave some really short hairs and shadows that won't itchy when they start growing back out.

Not OP but I have really thick leg hair and it is made worse by the fact that my hair is really dark but I have very fair skin. I have an electric beard trimmer. If I use a decent length guard can I trim my leg hair without it looking ridiculous? I agree that a shaved leg would like super gay, but does anyone have experience with just trimming leg hair?

>> No.8334020

depends on your type of hair, I have very straight hair on my arms and legs, I trim it once every two weeks because it looks like shit when it's too long and it looks better when trimmed

>>8333084
trimming ok, shaving completely no. It's a sign of femininity so unless you roll that way, avoid shaving legs.

Same with arms, trim don't shave if you really want to cut down, but it can look kind of wonky if done wrong.

No bc I got over wanting to be super smooth. The guys I've been with just don't care for fucking a super smooth butt. I'm not that hairy though, but if you are, you should try trimming.

Chest hair: no, it can be really hot. Do it only if your chest hair is in some weird shape or patchy.

Back hair: it's never appealing even to people who love hairy guys, so get it waxed. Hurts, but better.

Armpit: trim only.

First experiences are always weird, after a while you get used to the routine of trimming/getting waxed and that's that. Trimming is a little bit difficult at first because you have to get used to only cutting off a little bit, and not just mindlessly putting a razor to your skin and hoping for the best.

Straight guys should DEFINITELY maintain their hair. If you feel it's too long on any part of your body, trim it to your liking. Waxing backs should be routine for every guy (well, minus those guys who are gorilla hairy, in that case they need jesus's help).

I epilate my legs and shave all other body hair. I'm naturally extremely smooth though, and don't have a single visible hair on my chest or belly.

I do it partly because I like the feeling, and partly because I'm naturally more predisposed to the cute as opposed to cool or manly look.

I think the only places you should ever regulate your hair are:
>Monobrow by plucking
>Back and shoulders by anything, probably the only place you want baby smooth
>Pubes trimmed but never gone

The rest should be left natural unless you're an absolute freak, which I kind of am. Hope to god I never get a gf who like assplay cos she will suffocate.

Oh, and from experience, girls like a shaved chest and pubic area. The girls I've dated and fucked around with all agree that men should shave their pubes. It goes both way. I don't like eating a girl out that isn't shaven, and they don't like slobbing on my knob with a bunch of hair around it.

As for the chest, I think it's just more aesthetically pleasing. But like I said, what age do I actually stop and transform into a manwolf? After I'm married?

>> No.8335916

All the women I've dated thought a guy with shaved pubes was either too girly or vain for them. Trimmed is nice, shaved is going too far.

That saved me a lot of trouble, and I don't like women who shave it all off either so it worked for both of us.

>Do you think shaving leg hair is okay?
Yeah, why not. I don't but I also don't have hairy legs.

>Do you think shaving arm hair is okay?
Same as above. I have no problem with it but don't need to myself because my hair is very subtle.

>Do you have or do you shave your butt hair?
Yes to both. It feels really clean and is easier to work with.

>Same for chest hair, back hair and armpit hair?
I've shaved my chest hair once because of random long hairs but it is so little that I haven't made a habit of it nor need to. My chest still doesn't have hair. Never shaved back hair and don't have back hair. I've shaved my armpit hair before but don't shave it religiously. Might do it again but I'd rather trim it to reduce sweat,

>If you do either of those mentioned above, please state why and if possible recall your first experience with it, how you felt afterwards etc.
It usually is very obvious the first time you shave hair off. My butt hair area hasn't really irritated me after shaving it. It literally didn't give me any problems after the first shave and regrowth stage.

>Is it better suited to people who like other guys, or is it ok on straight guys too?
I think it's suited for both, it all depends on preference. Some girls don't mind, some like hairy men and some dislike men with back hair and so forth.

>Do you wax or shave?
Shave with razor. Usually don't even apply foam, just shampoo the area and shave away. Never had any accidents.

In my opinion:

Must-shave:
Back
Feet
Nose
Ears

Must-trim (or shave if prefer):
Armpits

Never shave:
Legs
Arms

Everything else up to personal preference.

Of course this depends on the person. If you're naturally really hairy everywhere and decide to go with it, you're going to look ridiculous with shaved pits. Likewise if you're naturally hairless and your arms look weird, shave them.

its blond hair on arms and chest though, but some black is starting to show up. I'm 20, so post puberty which is strange.

I don't shave anything, but trim some hairs that get long (like patches on my arms). sometimes shave happy trail. full shaving is only bodybuilder or swimmer
