Treasure trail, pleasure trail, happy trail, the road to glory. You know what it is…that sexy little dark trail of hair below the navel of a hot hot hot hot hot man, leading down to the pot of gold at the bottom. It is my opinion that a man with a nice, flat, muscled tummy and a gorgeous, manly treasure trail is automtically to be moved to the ‘sexy list’. There’s something so feral and primitive and sort of ape like about it. God I love it. I love it I love it I love it. Don’t you? ---

How about if the hair is abundant enough on the lower abdomen to be shaved into a little arrow pointing south? 😃 ---

I’m with you **Jarbaby**. A treasure trail is pretty much enough to make my retinas disattach from the rest of my eyeball and go shooting right accross the room. Yum. ---

🙂 It’s rather reassuring to see our gender being objectified! Even if you aren’t drooling in response to seeing me personally, every time I hear this kind of thing it increases my sense of the possible! ---

I don’t care for the trail but I do appreciate a smooth six-pack myself (along with a six-pack of beer also). ---

\Happy trails… to you… until… we meet… again…\ For some reason, the happy trail is the only hair I like seeing on a male body. (Well, aside from on the head and face.) It’s part of why I love seeing guys with their shirts off, even if it does make me giddy/giggly like a schoolgirl. ---

“I like 'em short, I like 'em tall, I like 'em all!” 😃 Yes, BlackKnight, there are a lot of women who like hairy, pale, skinny geeks–actor Michael McManus has quite the drrrooolers! (Frankly, I like my boyfriend’s little Ben&Jerry’s tummy–I’d be soooo insecure if he were “perfect”) ---
