Good lord no. A swift buzz with the clippers every couple of months to keep the hanging gardens free of weeds is the only hair control I contemplate south of the adams apple.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

No, but over the past 5 or so years of this commuting silly I have noticed that my my legs aren't as hairy as they used to be. Perhaps it's evolution.
It has however been well documented that I use hair removal around the sack, armpits and crack region. At first I thought it was a bit of fun and then I enjoyed the freshness of it. More recently I let it all grow to it's "back to Africa" best. I never realised how coarse my hair down there was - there are some girls out there with the resolve of a Storm Trooper! After a week of cycling I had friction burn in the joint of skin between the thigh and jewels, lumps on the inside of the thigh and the sweat down there. Jeez.
So I'm going brazillian or is that hollywood, like a porn star. And it does look longer.
Still wouldn't shave my legs though. That's just girly.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

You don't!? Now that is a surprise. Not because you're erm... just that I'd have thought erm, well, yes. Yes because you're erm. I was told it was more enjoyable for erm if you're shaved clean all over that region? Well that's what this guy I once worked with said...Headhuunter wrote:You clip the "hanging gardens"?

Yes that. Or it could be that I achieved a cadence so fast I actually ripped the hair follicles from my legs.
I like to think it was the latter.Food Chain number = 4

No I don't... I can't even be bothered to shave my face and no have a beard... I don't see how it can be more enjoyable, it just makes your c*ck look bigger and I don't need that effect

Men have a second beard, its a beard that women don't tend to have (well I've never met any who have). If it was Star Trek, Klingons would hang out there passing the time of day. I understand that some men preferred to have that region shaved and by extension the adjoining lands known as "sack".
You must like it proper grizzly if you can't even be bothered to shave there and/or prefer it not shaved. Headhunnter = "The 70s".Food Chain number = 4

Hell no! Nor anything else south of the neck.
It all fell out when I was having chemo and it was not pleasant. I believe the younger generation are more prone to shaving down below. I worked with a lad that wouldn't go down on a girl unless she had a shaven haven. We pointed out he was obviously a wuss as he could pleasure his woman whilst flossing his teeth.0 -

Nope. Two years or so ago when I was doing all my cycling in jeans I noticed that my shins were totally bald and put it down to, well, going bald.
As I clawed my way up the evolutionary ladder of cycling into shorts and lycra I noticed one day that it had all grown back. Friction pure and simple.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

Simon, you're right it is the friction. In my case the friction of air caused by spinning my cranks so fast.

The same, all things are equal after all, works in reverse.
If she prefers it I am willing to accomodate. But I do it for me, and I enjoy the freshness.Food Chain number = 4

Chin and nostrils only here. It's been made abundantly clear that depilation below the neck will constitute "unreasonable behaviour".
That said, the hairs-poking-through-the-lycra look is not a great one.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

My barber does the same with the flaming lugs. He even did a colleague's nostril hair using the same technique once, I'd be on the ceiling if he tried that with me. He could smell burning hair for weeks, apparently.
No shaving below the chin for me either, but then I'm a remarkably un-hairy type of gent.0 -
As I said I didn't like it when it fell out, and that was the reason. Hair prevents direct skin to skin contact, this means it gets less sweaty down there. No hair = scrote to thigh direct contact.

Wow. Just wow.
I simply assume that all women under the age of 36 have a hardwood floor. Maybe a little "home sweet home" mat at the door to wipe your shoe before you step in.

It must be a preference thing then. Because I find having hair more uncomftable than not. I also like that cold chill of winter feeling you get as the wind flows through when you first pick up speed on the bike - I digress
If things are that sticky then it's stick against the thigh hair or no hair. But things are rarely that sticky, except well...Food Chain number = 4

Check out some '70s jazz mags. That's what I grew up with. Virtually wall to wall, more than just a welcome mat.
I can't deal with clean shaven, it's so very wrong.0 -
