Hairy vs. non-hairy

[13788]

LABearz: Hey guys, new-ish member to this great forum. Have a question I've always wondered about that I haven't seen touched on here yet. More of a theory, actually...

I've seldom if ever seen a super hairy guy with a super big penis. Seems like the bigger it is, the smoother the guy is. (John Holmes being a great example.) My theory is that in puberty, testerone either goes in the direction of producing excess body hair or penis size, but seldom if ever both. Granted, there will be the stray exception, but for the most part (and believe me, I've been "researching" this for many years ) this has been my observation. Never seen a hirsute gorilla with a big ole schlong.

Any thoughts?

So far, i believe in your theory.

I'm only about 6 inches or so, but got hair on the base on my dicks and quite hairy balls. :-[

Well, it's not so much 'where testosterone goes' (a typical AOL theory) as it is your genes. But I can take your half-assed theory and turn it into a genius theory with just a little bit of evolutionary rephrasing, relating to female promiscuity as opposed to polygyny. Sadly, like all evolutionary theories, this one only works for populations. (In fact, I can support it best by looking at other primates.)

The male 'primates' in my family are very hairy and hung.  Either we're complete anomalies or more typical than LABearz thinks.

Confusion say:  Men have more hair on chest than woman but woman have more on the whole.

namodomok: Hairy primate here....not excessively like some men...but I'm nicely hung! Sorry to shoot that theory to hell.

James249620002000: Extremely hairy here. Big balls but average cock.

The theory I have about hair on the body is that, in most cases, bald headed men have very hairy bodies and hairy headed men tend to have smooth bodies. The dick theory is interesting, however.

(By the way, my head is as slick as a cue ball.)

We are opposites then. At age 47 I still have all my scalp hair. Never had much body hair. Large penis and miniscule testicles.

I'm sure that if you look around, you can find all possible combinations of the above traits. There are plenty of bald men with little body hair, but the real gorillas do seem to tend to be bald.

drrionelli: Your reference to the late John Holmes does, indeed, remind one that, often, those who perform in pornographic endeavours (as well as those whose aesthetic sensibilities might erstwhile be compromised) have been known to shave their other body parts (as well as their genitalia) to be more "camera friendly" so to speak.

Again, some, but, surely, by no means, all.

Isn't the human experience priceless! And where else but LPSG can we put into words thoughts that have nagged us for years.

I've often associated extremely hairy bodies with early baldness, also. Also, it seems to me in many cases, the wavy or curly hair seems to leave the scalp earlier than straight hair. Maybe its because i've always admired and wanted curly hair with body and have been looking for some trait that helps my feelings of being deprived of it. Who knows.

ORCABOMBER: I'm quite hairy (even if my brother mocks my shoulder hair) I'm proud of it, and I'm reasonably hung.

Saying that, if you're shaved, it looks bigger.

jimbo67: None of your theories apply here. I'm hung, with thick body hair and a thick head of hair.

@drrionelli:
And here all this time I thought porn (at least straight porn; I'm sure gay porn is different just by the nature of who it involves) only hired ugly guys. I mean, Ron Jeremy? Is that beauty and the beast?

@jimbo:
I was referring to populations.

That's because all that muscle mass has engulfed any chances they ever had of having any big dick. ;D

Ron Jeremy looks like what happened to primates the exact moment they evolved into man.

Myself, I like to be eclectic about it, because some women like the hair, then some don't. Then again, in the summer,  I remain full torso follicle free just to keep reasonably cooler. But, I still retain my dimensions irregardless.

Except that gorillas have these really tiny penises, as do chimps.

First of all there will be exceptions to every theory so the fact that there are hairy hung guys doesnt discount LABearz' observation.
I too have seen hairy hung guys BUT too generalize most of the younger guys I have seen who seem to get hit by an early pubertal hair wave(-legs, chest and belly-) dont seem to be particularly well hung. Maybe early bloomers are most affected by the either hair or hung alternative

Genetics, genetics, genetics. Grab one from column A, one from column B, and one from column C. I think that the traits (hairy vs. non-hairy, hung vs. non-hung, early vs. late bloomers) we're considering are independent of each other.

For this set of three dual-option traits, there would be eight alternatives. If there is no "deadly" characteristic (i.e.: have the hung gene and you die in vitro) or outside force (i.e.: women only mate with hung men at the expense of the non-hung genes and skew the gene pool), then an even 12.5 percent of the population would be in each of the 8 sets.

I haven't done a survey to prove they are independent, nor do I want to (I can't imaging going up to the guys in the gym and asking whether they were late bloomers or not). Let the government fund the study.

Additionally, these traits are continuums, rather than either/ors. We've had many threads on what is hung vs. non-hung. And when is a guy hairy vs. non-hairy? We can identify end members (Cousin It, Sinead O'Conner), but the boundary is poorly defined.

Going back to the original question, the hung guys I've seen in porn recently seem to be shaved, so even if a hung guy was hairy, he could masquarade as non-hairy.

Take care

Well, there's also natural selection in other forms, and genetic drift. I mean, we all know body hair varies across human populations. (I've always used blood types as an example of genetic drift: There's absolutely no natural or sexual selection, but you still see different frequencies in different populations.)

 

[13788]

ORCABOMBER: That's a bit deep though, I mean, we haven't got a universal dick-size correlation yet and trying to compare it with hiaryness within populations?

Damn that's deep!

Well, you know, jon,  nothing can stop evolution, even if it is on a neandert hal like old RJ.
