From bottom to top, this author explores the disturbingly hairy male form in a two-part Geek to Chic in-depth entry.
Toe Hair
Your toes do not require any maintenance beyond toenail clipping unless the hair has grown to Hobbit-proportions. Some hair on the toes will not affect your perception by the opposite (or same) sex as attractive or not unless they bear some inner foot fetish.
Leg and Arm Hair
Women shave their legs and sometimes their arms, but this is not an issue for men. Male swimmers shave to improve their movement through the water and reduce weight, and bodybuilders shave to improve the appearance of their physique. Most men, however, can ignore their arms and legs almost entirely, a fringe benefit native to our sex, at least in modern Western culture. No manly man should ever shave their armpits.
Special Special Hair
This author does indeed refer to the hair down there. Women have been getting it styIed regularly in bikini shapes, runways, and completely removed for at least a decade. Men, you must take charge of the area. You are your own master. You must handle the situation.
Whose lawn would you rather mow?
However, recognize that you are a geek. Getting someone down there is a major task in and of itself, but if you do finally reach this most noble of goals, you certainly do not want to offend. If you have an Amazonian jungle of hair in your personal mangrove, trim it to a reasonable length. Use a trimmer or scissors. Do not go too short or shave entirely, what works for porn stars does not work for you. Keep it manly but reasonable (think knuckle-length), wash, and use a little baby powder or Gold Bond to keep the region fresh. It is the least you can do. Chest and Back Hair
No surprises here: chest and back hair is uniformly unattractive. You and a minority of the opposite sex might find it to be manly, but the vast majority of ladies (and even men) are going to look at you like you are Austin Powers. Never has there been a steamy scene on film or in concert where a topless man had a hairy chest (the author concedes that James Bond might have pulled it off once or twice, but you are no 007). Get your back and/or chest shaved, waxed, or have it permanently removed by a dermatologist (not a clinic). If you think this is asking too much, consider what society demands of the fairer sex: shaved or waxed armpits and legs, trimming (at minimum) of the nether region, and all sorts of other hygienic nightmares. Wax it and think pleasant thoughts of blissful, blissful sex.
If you were a woman, or a man who prefers men, which would you desire?
