Back to the women...I should clarify about the shaving bit...I don't really see why women should need to shave anywhere, specially "down there", it's downright silly to shave that area, in my opinion...but it does look a little better when they shave their legs, I think. Specially if they've got dark hair.

Cleanliness, on the other hand, is next to godliness. ;-)

Some apes have been heard to say that "cleanliness is next to impossible"...but I happen to know that Chongo takes a shower EVERY morning, and sometimes before bedtime too. He's quite clean for a chimp. Even when he's radically hung over, he does not miss the morning shower. When he's really wrecked, he showers under cold water. His agonized screech when the first spray of cold water hits him can be heard for blocks. He calls it "the shock treatment", and says it helps cure even the worst hangover.
