For the ladies, most that I know find it sexy. Shows the definition of the legs.

On to the practicality of it all. Guys always ask me if they should shave or not.
Shave or wax.. no difference except the pain and the frequency.

Why do we do it?
-Some say aerodynamics - I doubt it.. but ok for swimmers
-Looks good - probably best reason to attract ladies
-Easy to clean - nothing worse than those itchy nats getting caught in your leg hair!
-Better for bandages.. True..(i speak from experience)

**Probably the best reason why I do it.. When I go to my masseuse I get a better massage... Have you ever massaged a hairy leg? Not too easy and kinda nasty all tangled up! I shaved my legs and I noticed that my massages were suddenly better and they focused on my legs much longer!

As to what part?.. the question is how far up?
Some go to edge of shorts, others go all the way up.
All the way up looks best when naked or in a speedo, but not the easiest to do..

You are right there; men who don't shave don't know what they're missing and either does their other half.

Its like fertilizing and watering your lawn. Shaving does not increase hair growth but when you cut the hair shaft close to base the daimeter is larger. As the hair grows it appears courser. In waxing as the hair reachers the skin surface the point of the hair is finer but the longer the hair the larger the diameter. Another point is that only appox 50% of your hair is on the skin surface at any time.


Thanks for that interesting information; never know that.

Are you sure? I pluck my arm-pit hair and find that it grows back finer... or that's what I think at least! But I suppose I don't usually allow my arm-pit hair to grow very long [starts looking at arm-pit hair. I should probably pluck it some time soon - when I can be bothered]

I'm an Australian-born Vietnamese and so have inherited the wonderful hair-free-arm-and-leg gene and so can't even remember the last time I shaved my smooth arms & legs.

My exboyfriend loved getting waxed. He said he liked the feeling of smooth skin. He used to get his chest, legs, back, butt and crack waxed. I found it sexy because I found him sexy because it was something only he would do. I don't mind a bit of hair though. But as others have said, depends on the guy.
