A little grooming is ok, as long as it’s not completely shaved cuz then it resembles an exotic fleshy-beaked bird. ---

For example, this one guy at the gym who previously had the natural look suddenly this week is completely shaved bare. Looks ridiculous, especially with the hair on his chest and everything. Hair, hair everywhere, except _there_. _ **A pube grooming no-no!!** _ 😛 ---

I need to join a gym… There are a couple of hotties who work out at work at roughly the same time I do so they provide a nice, um, eyeful but variety is the spice of life after all. ---

He turned around and I took a quick glance: hair everywhere - _everywhere_ on his body, but a _crotch shorn bare_. I can’t even begin to describe how ridiculous this looked. Going for the primate look? I have Jane Goodall on the phone: she laughs at you. > \*\* I take a shower just like everyone else…and yes, I am a primate! I’m going for the “I don’t want to have a furry zipper look”… Jane Goodall is not my idea of a “woman” either. ---

There’s nothing i like more than the juxtaposition of a big, buff stud and hairlessness. I also like certain types of hair men (big, muscled, not skinny, and pasty). Anyway, when i shave it all off, i get the pubes, balls, pits, and ass. Might as well make it ALL even. I do keep the pits regularly trimmed because my hair is straight and sticks out from under my armpits when i have my arms at the side. Not a pretty sight.
