To love male body hair!!!

I'm just saw a snippet of 'This Morning' and it involved a man being waxed - it seems they are doing a discussion session on men and body hair.

Groomed.v.Natural

I was Shock and I love, love, LOVE male body hair!!!

I draw the line at hairy backs and necks though Grin

I love stroking my DH's hairy chest and hairy legs.....I even love nestling in his arm pit hair!! Grin

There are always threads about women's body hair on here so I'm just wondering where we all stand on male body hair??

I have dated men in the past with hairless chests (sometimes through personal grooming and sometimes just naturally clear of hair) and it just doesn't do it for me!!

I'm getting all excited thinking about DH's hairy chest now.... Grin

Men with no hair on their chests are both sick and wrong. End of discussion.

Also: Men who remove their pubes resemble Kentucky Fried Chicken.

When Richard Armitage as Guy of Gisborne appeared on screen with a hairless chest (and later as Lucas North in Spooks) I was slightly disappointed by the hairlessness (nothing else Wink) as I had always imagined Blush he would be naturally a little hairy in the chest department. More recently I have seen pictures to suggest I was right all along Grin

Also see above post re my recent beardlove.

Love dh's hairy chest, although when I snuggle sometimes they tickle my nose and make me have a sneezing fit.
However, he lets me veet his back (thank goodness!), I'm trying to persuade him to let me wax it!

KatnipEvergreen · 03/03/2014 14:26

What I found attractive about DH was all his body hair was fair/sandy/ginge.

LyndaCartersBigPants · 03/03/2014 14:27

I can't bear a hairless man. In fact I put on my OD profile that I liked hairy chests and stubble to rule out any baldies from contacting me! I spied DP's chest hair poking out of his shirt in his photo and thought "yep, I'll have him!"

I love snuggling into his chest hair and stroking his arms and legs. I even like his hairy back, but I know I'm in the minority on this one - I always feel sad for those guys whose wives are embarrassed to be seen on the beach or at the pool because of body hair.

I've seen photos of DP in the past on FB where his ex has commented about having to sort out his monobrow eyebrows for him, but I love them a bit wild and have made him promise not to start plucking them!

I generally go for dark haired men, which is probably because they tend to be (& look) hairier! When my XH decided that he wanted to shave his chest &/or other body hair it was the final straw for me, I knew I'd never fancy him again and, coupled with lots of other issues, I just thought 'this shows how little he knows/cares what I like' and demonstrate a major incompatibility. I know it sounds shallow and some people will be up in arms about it, but I honestly felt repulsed at the thought of a bald body.

Some do, some don't.

sheriffofnottingham · 03/03/2014 14:31

YADNBU! men need to embrace the hair, waxing is horrible and wrong. DP is gloriously hairy, he has a little patch of hair in the small of his back that I refer to as his bunny tail, it's the cutest thing ever.

LyndaCartersBigPants · 03/03/2014 14:32

That should be wives who are embarrassed to be seen on the beach WITH THEM...(the hairy men)

LyndaCartersBigPants · 03/03/2014 14:32

:-) bunny tail!

I refer to DP's lower back as his hairy haunches.

Cyclebump · 03/03/2014 14:39

DH is immensely hairy but he's also the sexiest man I know... Swoon.

It's corny but I think it's mainy because he's him, as it were, but I do love the man fuzz also.

TinyTwoTears · 03/03/2014 14:43

DH is bald an hairy! Back and shoulder hair.

What a combo Wink

He is very self conscious about his back. I tend to not register it any more.

Choccywoccydoo · 03/03/2014 17:17

I was once with a guy who I could've sworn shaved his shoulders (and not often enough!)

Was weird. Never got familiar enough for me to enquire further.

Really hairy chest too. Don't they get hot?!

Troglodad · 03/03/2014 17:40

As a hirsute gentleman, I approve this thread.

Writerwannabe83 · 03/03/2014 18:51

lyndacarters - I also had on my OD profile that I love male body hair Grin I needed to filter out all those baldies!!!

I met my now DH via OD and when I first saw his chest I was a little disappointed as although there was some hair it wasn't wide spread enough for my usual liking!! However, fast forward 4 years and he now has much more of it so I'm glad I didn't write him off Grin

I love hairy men! I watched 'Rush' last week and was really disappointed when the beautiful Chris Hemsworth revealed a chest smoother than a baby. Fortunately DH is very hairy Smile

I suppose the fashion will change in due course and a 70's body hair revival will occur, hopefully by the time my dc are teenagers. Adolescence is complicated and embarrassing enough without having to deal with full body hair removal.

neverthebride · 03/03/2014 18:57

I knew a chap who thought he'd try some intimate waxing. Not being familiar with waxing, he got one of those Veet cold pre-waxed strips and wrapped it AROUND one of his balls.

It did not go well. Tears were shed. And quite a lot of skin.

WitchWay · 03/03/2014 20:04

neverthebride OUCH!

I like body hair, no amount is too much to put me off, but I prefer shoulders not to be too hairy.

ShitOnAStick · 03/03/2014 20:06

I love hairy men. DH has the perfect amount of body hair in my opinion. I like men who are completely natural, I don't mind hairy backs, arses, necks etc. I have in the past dated men who were naturally not very hairy and that was fine too.

TheArticFunky · 03/03/2014 20:10

I was surprised to read on here that it's becoming more common for men to shave their public hair. That would be a huge turn off for me and I think I would have to make my excuses if I was ever in this position.

JonSnowKnowsNothing · 03/03/2014 20:13

I love hairy men! The most lovely and bloody gorgeous man I ever slept with was vastly hairy - chest, back, arms....but none on his head! Grin
I found him incredibly masculine and sexy, and a man with a waxed, shaved body would be very off-putting to me.

mrsjay · 03/03/2014 20:16

yes I like a bit of hair although dh has a beard atm i fucking hate it wish he would shave it off

HectorVector · 03/03/2014 20:19

My DH is quite hairy but he doesn't have a beard... I'm trying to persuade him to grow one because I've got a bit of a musketeers thing going on at the moment.

Stinklebell · 03/03/2014 20:21

LOL Hector, I'm trying to convince DH to grow his hair and a beard for much the same reason

Except my 'bit of a Musketeers thing' is heading for schoolgirl crush proportions Blush
