I'm going bald (down there)

[QUOTE=Litoris]
Thank you! I have been having one of those mornings/days and the giggle you just gave me was so very appreciated. I hope that you get a shot of good karma for it!

:smiley: Thanks.

Really, it was such an obvious joke I’m surprised that no one else thought of it first. I was reminded of the joke about the woman that got the do-it-yourself facelife.

This is the scariest thread ever.

It falls out?

A few of mine have turned grey but fall out?!?

I’m assuming you’re a guy, because right now a whole bunch of women are thinking “How awesome would *that * be? Think of the time and money I’d save on depilation!”

Year ago there was an urban legend going around about how some major chocolate company (Hershey?) irradiating their chocolate, which caused sterility in women, and how horrifying it is that they could get away with something like that.

The reaction of most women was “Chocolate birth control? Sign me up!”

I don’t really know if you’re a guy or gal or how old you might be.

As a woman I am experiencing a similar effect. It’s perfectly natural for menopausal women apparently. If you’re not a menopausal woman I’m not sure what the heck it is.

It was explained to me thusly; This hair is there to hold your scent, to help attract a mate, for reproductive purposes. Once you are past the reproductively viable age they thin out.

I can’t say I mind, and I like the look!

Of course, I have not developed hair on my belly so you’re on your own there.

I’ve met him. I think his ovaries have a few good years left.

Winston, Have you started menopause?

Are your palms hairy?

Maybe. My Magic 8 Ball says ‘ASK AGAIN LATER’.

It can happen to women who start taking hormonal birth control or switch to a different prescription, too- you can see an increase or decrease in body hair.

Are you taking any medications that might be screwing with your hormones?

No (surprisingly enough).
