I am a male and I have a hairy chest. I have heard differing opinions on hairy chests from different women - They either don’t like it or don’t care. I rarely find someone who loves a hairy chest. What do the women here think? ---

I do like chest hair, but even more than that I like tummy hair, and even more than THAT, I like treasure trail hair. Good lord that’s sexy. No hairy backs though. ---

I’m another one who loves a hairy front on my man, but that back has to be hairless. ---

I love hairier men…chest hair and the Happy Trail do it for me too (I think jarbaby and I are thinking of the same trail)…the legs should be hairy too. Back hair…well…I think most men have a little so it doesn’t bother me…as long as there isn’t a pelt or anything… ---

Oh my oh my oh my, I get turned on just READING about hairy chests. I HATE the shaved-chest look that seems to be everywhere. Give me a hairy chest any day. ---

Thank goodness it’s only men with this feature. Ditto on the treasure trail though. I remember a girl from high school swimming at my pool that had the first I’d ever seen and it was erotic as all get out. Had me doing my best submarine impersonation the rest of the day. ---

Well, I used to strongly dislike the look of hairy guys. That is, until I fell in love with one. Now I just think he’s the furriest, warmest, cuddliest, and damn sexiest thing alive. Beauty is in the eye… Kind of an in-joke between us: one day we were pondering what our cats thought of us. Did they know our names? Did we have a certain smell that they identified us by? We finally decided that they probably thought of us as “The Lumpy One” and “The Furry One.” 😃 ---

It doesn’t matter if his chest is hairy or not… if he can rock my world it doesn’t matter. I’m not a fan of back hair though. It’s a total turn off for me. ---

wow, good to know the female happy trail is not as reviled as I thought it would be. I have a slight one and none of my bf-s have complained/complimented it at all so I didn’t really think about it. I do wear the occasional bikini so I was considering getting rid of it this summer but since I’m not a big beach person my girlfriends convinced me to keep it rather than wax it off. Personally, I don’t really like mine but I’m lazy and I already pay enough for a bikini wax so boys can go hang. Anyway, sorry about the hijaack. ---

Ohhh, yeah. Has to be at least some there, the more the better. Hairy backs, hairy legs, hairy arms, hairy toes and finger. Ummm, man hair. The only way it can get too hairy is if you can’t see the skin underneath. ---

Hairy chests are great - as long as they aren’t too furry. HATE back hair. I mean, everyone has a little - but I better not think you are wearing a sweater in the summer! Now - The Happy Trail…definite MUST HAVE!!! Its the perfect little “direction giver” if you know what I mean! ---

Nope. Sorry, can’t do chest hair. I like my boys smooth. But the treasure trail is ok with me. 😃 ---

As the first gay man to post in this thread, let me say I am a BIG fan of chest hair. I find the smooth, thin 19-year-olds one sees in gay porn to be insipid and uninteresting. I like my men hard-muscled, masculine, and hairy. There’s something rugged and maculine about a hairy chested and muscular man. I am not attracted to most “bears” because the majority one sees in magazines and Web sites are fat, old, and unattractive. However, musclebears like Jack Radcliffe and Steve Hurley drive me into a sexual frenzy. ---

Pursuant to this gobear, I feel that you are missing out if you are not fantasizing daily about my main man, [Till Lindemann](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/jarbabyj/till20.jpg) He is the epitome of hard muscley hairy guys. And he’s German for god’s sake. jar ---

posting for my wife, who likes my moderately hairy chest (my back is hairless, which is apparently a good thing in this thread), but she also says that I’m as hairy as a person can be and still be human. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-chest-hair/95286.md?page=2)
