    So how many of you shave your legs?

    This is directed towards the male WBB population.

    I used depilatory cream once or twice. Felt very odd...and less than completely heterosexual. Haven't done it since. I have blond hair, though, so it's not that bothersome. I'd just trim it short if yours is excessive.

    I do shave my chest and stomach, though.

    We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

    Parables and Portraits, Stephen Mitchell

    Same here, well I do arms too, but I just wanted opinions on legs.

    Personally I HATE body hair. If it were up to me I would permanently remove all the hair on my body minus my head.

    So, I just had to read this. After reading it - Scarz, the little dude-thing underneath your name? Yeah, he looks like he's living a nice sticky green strip of nad's.

    Paul. I also think bodily hair is gross........well most of it. I wouldn't shave my chest if I had more hair on it probably. I want to shave my legs/thighs, chest, and mostly pubic hair. Really thats the hair that bothers me the most. Gross...

    I'm really only hairy from the waist down. I only shave my face and the nether-regions, though. No legs.

    I use clippers and occasionally trim my legs, arms, chest and stomach. I'm always afraid someone will call me out on it though, so it's a very once-in-awhile thing for me.

    I shaved neck-to-toe for my show. I will never do that again. I am naturally hairless, and people often thing I shave my arms chest as is. I only shave my arms pits to cut down sweating.

    I will never shave my arms or legs. I trim my belly hair if I'm feeling silly and trim my armpit hair to keep cool. That's as far as I'll go.
