I shave more often than not; personal preference. I just like feeling smooth all over. emotion_kirakira
I don't find excessive hair attractive (mostly on men), but it's not necessarily a deal breaker or anything. (an exception being oral sex, if there's too much hair I'm not interested) If I see anyone who chooses to shave, or not to, I don't really care. It's not my body to police- it's 100% their decision. For me it's kind of similar to seeing someone who's heavy in clothing 'meant for slimmer people'. It's their body, they can wear what they want. I may not be able to control a mental thought or two, but at the end of the day I'd never comment on it, and I'll defend them if a friend of mine starts being disrespectful about it. It's just a human body, and it's just hair.
Besides, shaving can be a lot of work- especially if you're shaving everything from the nose down, like another member mentioned. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to deal with it.
Mizz Frappuccino Okay, body hair doesn't create dirt or grime. She never said it created it. She said it accumulated it. Which means, it traps it. For some, this does keep the bacteria and dirt away from the skin and keeps it from creating issues. However, this can also be bad for other people depending on their lifestyle. At a point, it will collect a lot of bacteria that can easily be rubbed back onto your skin.
Mizz Frappuccino I don't understand where the unpleasant smell your talking about. If you don't put deodorant on, there will be an unpleasant smell, body hair or not. Actually, a number of people in the scientific community believe hair (especially pubic hair) acts as a scent trap. So the hair would in fact accumulate a stench. Some people don't sweat/stink as much (this applies especially to East Asians; they actually have fewer apocrine sweat glands, and for a similar biological reason they tend to have dry earwax instead of wet) so this would result in less deodorant use, and probably less stench getting trapped in armpit hair or anything.
There's also types of body hair that have little to nothing at all to do with the collection of bacteria, like vellus and lango.
For the most part, hair is used to aid perspiration/evaporation, and insulation. Since many live in developed nations with man made items that help all of the things we've discussed, at the end of the day whether or not you keep your body hair is personal preference- and no one should be ashamed of choosing either.
Anything regarding your health and how your body hair is connected to it should be discussed with your doctor, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Do you have any skin problems around the specific area where there is/was a lot of body hair? Would it benefit you to keep or get rid of it? What methods of removal are there that reduce irritation? A dermatologist might even be better.
