Maybe because they don't like having body hair. Think that would be the obvious answer.

I shave my facial hair and trim my armpits because I do not like having body hair luckily I don't have to much elsewhere

Because they like the look and/or feel. Maybe their partner prefers it as well.

I don't shave any of my body hair. I've done it before just as an experiment and didn't really like it. I do use hair trimmers at about a #3 to trim my armpit hair. I find shorter hair means that if I go without a shower for a while then I won't smell so much. I also just prefer the look, and feel like I itch a bit less with shorter hair. Other than that, I used to trim my chest hair to the same length when I was younger. I don't know why I did it exactly, I thought women would like it, and then a woman I slept with asked me to stop and I haven't done it since.

So something says to you that it’s more common for Bi and Gay men to do this or they do it for a different reason?

i was just wondering what the straight male perspective was cause i remember in middleschool/highschool when it's that awkward stage where some people have developed earlier than others you're made fun of cause you dont have as much body hair as others, and then now as a gay guy if i saw someone with shaved legs or armpits i would assume they were gay...but that's not true

When I grew up, I thought a guy that shaved his arms and legs was either a swimmer or weird. :joy:

I was never a party to shamming in school for body hair or other “shower room” type stuff, but I never really did it either.

Cos they can!
Good answer. And why do some people keep beards. It’s all perception, what that person likes physically, or the pressure from a significant other possibly.

for me it's the easiest way to get rid of it. i don't like it and rather use nair or another like a powder but if i use them i'm lucky not to get a burn somewhere. i wish they made a hair killer.

There is a product called Balls Balm, its like Nair but made for more sensitive skin like, obviously, the scrotum. I bought it, and used it once. It was a mistake. There are few products I could recommend less than this one.

Everything is better now, but it was a painful couple of weeks.

I shave my face. If I had back hair I would get rid of it. Trim pubic hair. That's it. Anything beyond that is weird unless you have the body of a Greek god. Guys are supposed to be low maintenance.

Certainly in 99% of porn women are shaved smooth - because the men watching it like it .

. I pretty much stopped renting / watching porn 15 + years ago, so I will take the word of someone with more knowledge than I have. However if this were an opinion pole, I truthfully have no opinion one way or another. A woman agrees to share her body with you and her undergarments come off. It should not matter if her pubes are shaves into a heart. a landing strip, a thunder bolt, full natural ;or smooth as a sheet of glass. ( Just say thank you for what I am about to receive )

PS : to quote a few nice ladies " Porn is not Real "

I get waxed every four to six wks. Ears, nose, brow, and the few patches of hair on my back. I trim my arms, chest, and abs. Keep my pits trimmed too but not short. Otherwise that arm pit hair just keeps growing.

Having said that. I trim because when I started working out I wanted to see more definition and the progress I was making.
Keep my balls shaved and my pubes trimmed. Haven't trimmed my legs but I've thought about it. I tan a lot better too with the hair gone.

I take pride in my appearance and keeping myself looking the way I want to look, is one of my top three expenses. But I do it for me.
