Arm Pit Hair?

What purpose does it serve?

Any males out there that shave?

Any females that don't shave?

I think it has something to do with the sweating process.

Just for the thread starter I brought back up my old thread on this topic. It goes to show that there are few topics that Lounge lizards haven't contemplated.

I shave mine. I shave everything actually...legs, pits, balls, stomach, chest, pubic region, and I wax my butt. Too much info really. Girls dig it tho...A LOT. Hair in the pits is there for protection. Theres alot of vessels under your arm, some nerves, and lymph nodes. One of those evolutionary things.

I always though it was there to trap clumps of deodorant.

Underarm hair is acctually there to help pheromones disapate via the wicking action of the underarm hair. That's why french people smell so bad. Also why it gets stuck in your teeth.






Notice: I am severly sorry for any french people I have offended by stating that you smell bad. There are worse smelling creatures. Take to noble buffalo for example, those stupid things smell worse than you. Easily!!



Uhm, I am sorry for you buffalo lovers too. Why don't you shave them and see if that helps? -J

Not ALL chicks. I guess there is something for everyone, but I would freak out if I was getting intimate with a guy and found no body hair. I mean, I am with a MAN, not a 12 year old boy, right?

No offense to you, of course. Do what makes you happy.

Personally, I like a man with hair where hair is supposed to be (trimmed is nice though). The only hair I don't care for is rampant back hair, or if someone has way TOO much body hair.

Just saying what I do since that was what the thread was about. Thanks for offending someone you don't know. Again, I never said ALL chicks. I'm more than sure that some like the yettie look.

I shaved my pits ONCE and ONLY ONCE and will NEVER do it again. I just figured all it really does is make you sweat more so I shaved it. The stubble rubbing when my arms touched my body it was like the coarsest sandpaper you can buy. Horrible. I walked around with my arms sticking straight out for like a month it seemed like.

I dislike body hair.

That answers the question without too much detail.

hair is there to reduce friction. that is why it is in groin area and underarms.if you shave you probably have to powder or your skin will stick.

How does it offend you for me to have a different opinion than you? I certainly didn't say or imply you are a jerk and don't know what you are talking about. You just feel differently about body hair than I do - no biggie.

At any rate, if you were offended, I aplogize. That was not my intention.

Crystal

Or if you're going to get offended that easily, don't tell us all about your more bizarre body-shaving habits. Nobody really asked whether you like to shave your balls.

No offense, but you're a freak. LOL. Just kidding, no offense.
