    I don't know about anyone else, but when I shave *anywhere* I get an incredible itch and a rash....

    My friend in college dated this girl who he said had a nice, thick, dark treasure trail. We went out the next night looking for women! lol
    I tried "trimming" some hair somewhere before, when I was younger and stupider. Man, itch, itch itch. And you can't always scratch there in public either.

    I didn't read every post in this thread so forgive me if someone touched on this already, but the fascination with shaving is widely considered to be a "safe" channeling of the pedophilia feelings in men...and face it, its a mans world. Men establish laws, norms and customs far more than women, but that is a different topic.

    The reason women shave their bodies is because men like little girls and shaving gives an appearance closer so. The reason men shave their bodies is because men like little boys and shaving gives an appearance closer so.

    Um...I don't know about widely considered, and I certainly disagree (though I suppose it's a theory with some merit). I like shaving because I personally prefer soft, smooth skin to fur. Unless, of course, the object in question is to be walked or thrown a frisbee (hairless dogs scare me).

    When my girlfriend shaves her legs, I don't think "mmmmm...I'd like to teach HER the ABC's..." Blegch. Being sexually attracted to a young, fit - and hairless - body and being sexually attracted to children are two very, very, very different things and shouldn't be lumped together. I won't speak for everyone, but I happen to find women with waifish, prepubescent features to be very unnatractive, and by extenstion girls in their early teens. A pretty face can't evershadow a 12-year old's body. You can keep your Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow...I'll take a real woman, thanks. Most men on my continent would probably agree.

    Why else do I prefer shaving? Well...let's just say I don't like getting hair stuck in my teeth. :D (boy, I'm gonna get it for that one :evil: )

    I agree with the rabbit -- I do not want little girls or little boys. My reason for liking my wife to shave is that I do NOT like bears or wolves ;) In some instances a sicko might have such views on the hair issue, but the vast majority of us do not. Too Freudian for my tastes.

    Count me in with the bunny, too. Emaciated anorexic models with no curves and legs thinner than my arms give me the creeps. Halle Berry, now, is certainly another matter.
