One of the worst things of getting older (the joys of getting older)

[cellboy]

that is, being over 45. OK over 50. OK over 53, is having hairs popping out in unsuspected places. And what worse is not having the best eyesight to catch them. And what's worse is your friends pointing them out to you. Ugh. More maintenance again!

Don't I know it! There's one in my left ear that persists in getting into my ear canal.

Have you tried any of those battery-operated trimmers? I must've gotten the one in my left ear, because it hasn't bothered me in quite awhile.

Yes. I have one. Also a larger one for "manscapeing" the chest etc. I keep getting one on the ear also and a few on the nose. Annoying. Wonder if male hormone replacement would help (lol).

You're really opening up a discussion here.

I've been absolutely delighted to have body hair - ever since I had that one single strand on my chest. It's the one characteristic that's kept my little rotund shape from looking like some sort of African fertility doll.

And, while the idea of shaving any part of my body makes me cringe, I have seen a few cases where a little trimming, might be in order - like when one's pubic bush gets a bit too wild and wooly.

Oh! I love body hair too. I would never shave it off (save if I had to do major drag) The manscaping thing is very light. Just to neaten up the long stray strands. I usually do a # 6, 7, or 8. And maybe 4 times a year. I love a man with a hairy chest. But sometimes when its pouring out 4-5 inches looking messy, sometimes a little trim can look neater. And I know most hairless man are jealous of us. They feel less masculine. I met a man a few months ago, that was so hairy, back and front, that his partner trimmed it pretty short. It actually looked like he was wearing a sweater. It was actually very sexy. He said his hair was too long, and he felt more comfortable that way. Although trimmed it was a bit prickly. The nice thing about being hairy is it also hides the imperfections (skin rolls etc :)

Woody is completely covered in what I think of as "stealth hair". You can't see it from a distance, but up close, you realize he's completely covered in it.

I have to get after him from time-to-time, as he'll shave his face and chin, but he's got hair all the way around on his neck, and they get long!

One of my first boyfriends was exceptionally hairy.

It tended to be a bit abrasive on the tongue.
