I've always been attracted to men w/ facial hair. I will, also, agree w/ the previous postings about kissing comfort being better w/ bearded than shaven men. However, people have different tastes. Perhaps by this time, your new beard has grown out enough that it is soft & you are kissable once more? If not, have your wife email the Mudcat women & we'll reassure her. The only problem I have is when Duane trims his moustache. We deal w/ it. :)
