09 Jun 08 - 10:07 AM (#2361385) Subject: RE: BS: just for men to answear this question From: Little Hawk No. But occasionally I get the urge to trim some of the longer hairs back a bit with a small pair of scissors. Why? Who knows. I mean, it doesn't really matter, right? Maybe I do it for the same reason that a bird plucks at his feathers or someone runs their fingers through their hair. Personal grooming instinct? Nervousness? A desire to superimpose existentialist doctrine on traditionalist mores? ;-) I don't think that shaving that area would be wise, as it would probably itch like hell when it started to grow back in. I wonder what Brad Pitt has to say about this? |

09 Jun 08 - 12:16 PM (#2361516) Subject: RE: BS: just for men to answear this question From: PoppaGator Who'd want to? I men really, WTF is the world coming to? I don't even shave much of my face, let alone any more tender and more private area. Of course, having spent my young adulthood in the "hippie" subculture, I've never had much interest in any kind of hair removal, for myself or for others of either gender. I'm perfectly OK with women not shaving their legs or armpits, although I do accept that most women, at least in the US, find it necessary to conform to societal norms by removing their hair from those areas. This may mark me as an old fuddy-duddy, but I've never encountered a "bald" public area ~ on anyone. I don't understand how any red-blooded male would find anything attractive about a grown woman's hairless crotch. Sort of smacks of pedophilia, if you ask me. Also, there's the issue of STUBBLE, which could become very uncomfortable! |

They're also probably more influenced by the "aesthetics" of modern-day pornography where almost everyone, male and female, shaves for the benefit of the camera. |

09 Jun 08 - 05:09 PM (#2361760) Subject: RE: BS: just for men to answer this question From: PoppaGator The "pattern" common to cases of "male pattern baldness" is pretty much limited to the scalp. I don't have any definitive medical literature to cite, but I have observed many guys with thick full beards and bald heads. And I'm not talking about shaven heads, I mean real regular age-related baldness For most fellows, beard hair seems to remain darker than head-hair as the graying process gets underway. In my own case, the pubes are turning gray even more slowly ~ dark hair down under, "salt & pepper" facial hair, almost-all-gray on top. My facial hair is thinner than it once was, and almost-bald in spots, but that's due to radiation treatment, not age. |

10 Jun 08 - 09:54 AM (#2362254) Subject: RE: BS: just for men to answer this question From: Grab So Skarpi, what *did* you tell her? Does you does or does you don't shave sack? :-) FWIW, trimming the thatch occasionally is a good plan if you're prone to hairyness - minimises overheating in summer, and nicer for your partner. Don't overtrim though. As has previously been pointed out, hair growing back is *very* itchy, quite apart from the "shaved turkey" look. Paul, re nose hair, I use a disposable razor head (Gillette Sensor) which is just about the right size to go round the inside of a nostril when detached from the razor handle. No need for a fancy trimmer or anything like that. Only two things to be careful of: firstly mind your fingers; and secondly always scrape across the blade, not down it, otherwise you'll have the mother of all nosebleeds. It's certainly a lot safer than scissors though, where one false move puts a sharp pointed implement up your sinuses! The alternative to trimming nose hair is nasal dreadlocks, which ain't a pretty sight. I knew a bloke whose nose hair reached his top lip - I can't believe his wife wouldn't tell him "that's a bit gross dear, go and have a trim". Graham. |
