Thread Name: BS: Hairy or shaved armpits
Subject: RE: BS: Hairy or shaved armpits
Armpit hair like genital hair, arrives at puberty and is therefore pubic hair and a sign of sexual maturity. While I can understand a woman feeling that excessively hirsute arms or legs might look unfeminine, I would generally prefer a lady not to shave or depilate her armpits - Linda never does. The same goes for "the bits the sun don't see" although as Linda and I do enjoy naturism now and again, perhaps Liz's description isn't so accurate. As mentioned on another thread, I find mature ladies (esp Essex Girl) very sexy, and don't want them to look like pre-pubescent girls.

I've definitely never felt any desire to remove any of my (admittedly sparse) body hair, and the only time that I have shaved my beard off in the last 30-odd years was for a stage role.
