> [@JohnClay](#): > > Hi on another messageboard a poster said that it wasn’t normal that I had hairy nipples but he said that it is normal for women to have them. I’ve seen heaps of pics of women’s nipples but I’ve NEVER noticed them being hairy. (There is also a non-pornographic site full of breast pics that is supposed to be educational… do a google search for 007b). The reason you’ve never seen women with hairy nipples is that there are typically few enough hairs that you can pluck them with tweezers. ---

Now I’m worried my nipples are not sufficiently hairy. ☹ ---

Semi-hairy which is hairier than the rest of my chest. I sometimes joke about braiding them nipple to nipple for a chest hair combover. ---

My nipples aren’t naturally hairy, I had to apply tiny donut-shaped toupees. From a distance you can hardly tell the difference, but I have to be careful in swimming pools. ---

When people answered they had hairy nipples, did they actually mean hair growing from the nipples themselves? People, it’s important to be precise when answering stupid polls. ---

Hair on chest, yes. On nipples, no. But I vividly remember my high school girlfriend. Her arms were a little hairy. She had a great figure, and nice breasts. I vividly remember hair on her nipples. They weren’t hairy, I wouldn’t describe them as hairy, but there were a few hairs at her nipples and areolas. The hairs were maybe 1/2" or 3/4", maybe 3-6 hairs at each. She did not otherwise have body hair. This was a long time ago, I was class of '79, she was '80, and I suppose she’s had electrolysis to remove them long ago. I have never seen hair on any other nipples since. ---

Most of the women answering have hairy or semi-hairy nipples? 😕 ---
