My dear Mr. Bean has hairy chest and an immensely hairy back. Yes, he looks like he’s wearing a sweater. The chest hair I always liked. The back hair took a little getting used to. But I am madly in love with my hairy man. Back hair is A-OK with me. 🙂 ---

I love my merman’s hairy chest especially when it’s just ever so slightly damp with the well-earned sweat of energetic lovemaking and he is holding me close enough for it to just tickle my face. Ditto on the treasure trail. 😃 ---

I remember the first time I had heard this term–I was on the track team my freshman year in high school. It was a warm day, and we were all hiking up our shirts (or going in sports bras) and comparing our treasure trails. I seem to be somewhat hairy for a chick (no 'stash, my arms are rather fuzzy, but luckily it’s blonde), so I have quite a bit of one. I think it’s sexy (on guys too) and I wish I had better abs so I could show it off more. ---

For me, hairy chests aren’t going to be the make-or-break point as far as whether I’m going to date someone. I somewhat smooth chest is good on a really ripped guy, because it shows off the muscles. My father is a rather hairy man (which is probably why I’m a somewhat hairy female), so really hairy guys conjure up somewhat Oedipal associations, and I don’t like them as much. Ditto for beards, for the same reasons. No, I’m not trying to pad my post count. ---

I like hairy chests, especially if it’s really soft. I could just cuddle into it and play with it all day (or night!) long. YUM! ---

I remember quite vividly the few times I’ve seen really fine, light hair in a woman’s cleavage. The sun was shining just so and these golden glints…mmmmm. I’ve never seen chest or tummy hair on a woman that wasn’t natural blonde, but those two or three, \ makes me think of sweaty summer tan skin and perky…[sub]nevermind[/sub]… If you’ve been to a Doepfest with me, chances are you’ve seen my chest (if not my birthday suit) so you’d know I have a hairy chest that stops just below my pecs and a treasure trail that is naturally shaped like a Christmas tree, with the point maybe an inch below my sternum. I’ve never heard any complaints, so I’ll assume that’s good. ---

Why discrimnate between chest hair and back hair? It’s basically the same, just on the opposite side. Or is it more a matter of overall hairiness? FTR- I have a hairy tummy and chest, with the chest hair continuing up over my shoulders and on to the upper back. ---

I like enough fuzz to not look like a Ken doll (traction!) but I am quite unfond of extremely hairy men. mmm… Happy Trail… [sub][sup]Why is it that I always see all these types of threads after I’ve seen the last of Gunslinger that I will for six whole weeks? It’s not fair. I want my mostly-unhairy slightly-fuzzy happy-trailed cowboy.[/sub][/sup] ---

Shaved is not the same as hairless, ladies. I naturally have no hair on my chest (or back). It’s called evolution. 🙂 ---

Don’t feel bad Dale. While I can appreciate plnnr’s hairy chest, I can also appreciate a smooth chest too. Mr. Grace has no chest or back hair, little to medium leg hair, and couldn’t grow a beard or moustache if his life depended on it. I still find every part of him _delightful_. ---

Another hairy chest checking in. I’ll always remember what a girlfriend told me many years ago. She said she had not liked hairy chests until she encountered one, at which point, she said, “I discovered my tits.” I didn’t really post that, did I? I 've not been myself since I changed my name. ---

I’m a straight male so don’t care one way or the other on the men, front or back. But on the women, I like them smooth on the front and slightly hairy on the back. hee hee [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-chest-hair/95286.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-chest-hair/95286.md?page=3)
