Nasal hair - warning kinda gross

@Louisa So, the answear to your question is that it's a religious norm.

@The Imposter I understood your first comment as that women only shave if their hairy body parts are exposed. My question was rhetorical.

I think some only shave in this case, but the majority, Muslim included, shave for hygiene reasons.

@Louisa I seriously doubt that Muslims shave for hygiene reasons. I'd say it's for religious/ cultural reasons. From what I know there are no rational reasons, like better for hygien, to shave any part of your body. On the contrary, the hair - on your head, the eyebrows, legs, arms etc - is there for a reason.

@whispered secret It seems to be a younger guy thing, I'd do anything rather than indulge in depilatory practices below the neck.

Nivea even marketed a range of male body shaving products.

Another tale that perhaps tiptoes into "Too much info"......

Back in the day when we could go to the gym, as is common in the male changing areas, the showers were communal.

I was doing what had to be done in the shower post-workout when one of the young instructors came in.

This kid did not have a hair on his body anywhere.....and I mean anywhere.

It was freaky, and, like when you drive by a car crash, it took me all my time not to stare.

@MagicRatAFC My son has been at Reading Uni, on campus, despite the lockdown. Told Mrs D he and a mate attempted lockdown haircuts using a female friends lady-shave for ‘down-under’. Ran out of charge half way thru. 🙄

@Walkerinthesun 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A question for the ages, I guess. I remember seeing a girl in high school being teased by other girls because she hadn't started shaving her legs yet. We were on the field in PT try outs so everyone was wearing shorts. I thought her legs were stunning and only if you looked really closely could you see the soft blonde hairs on her legs. There was absolutely no need for her to shave at all but they upset her all the same.

@Louisa They do now......

Hairyola.
