Male body hair

    Right. I am a male in my twenties. I have a hair problem. The damn stuff is all over my back, buttocks and everywhere else. While the hair on my chest, arms and legs does not bother me, when it comes to my back and buttocks, it does. I was thinking of waxing my back and butt, but this means I will have to wax my legs too as I don’t want a line of hair where my legs and butt meet. Is it weird for a man to have waxed legs? Is there any other way I can get around this little problem? I have not gone swimming for a few years as I am too embarrassed to show my back. Any advice welcome. Thanks

    you don't necessarily need to get your legs waxed as well, unless you want to.

    They can graduate it so that there isn't a harsh line using trimmers and that sort of thing.

    Men have hair, it's the way we're built.
    Don't worry about it, if you can...

    Why dont you get one of those long razors that the swimmers have.

    No point worrying about something that is easy to solve, and can be done on your own.

    Personally as a laydee, I find it sexy. It's what a man is supposed to have.

    Embrace who you are and what you've got. It's what makes you unique.:)

    Men have hair, it's natural... especially on their legs and buttocks! Back hair... I'll admit that some women find this really unattractive, but I can't say it really bothers me!

    However, if it's bothering you, I'd suggest you do go and get waxed... it's all about you feeling confident at the end of the day. Don't wax your bum though... I'd find it extremely odd if a quite hairy man had a non-hairy bum. Would be a little disappointed actually!

    I wouldn’t worry about it , I get my back chest and upper arms done after a week it sort of blends

    Well it's not the norm but it's not that odd Remember you will only be smooth for a day or two after that hair starts to come back so you will look like you have hair on your body but it will just look a lot less than it does know , by the way you will have to get it repeated every 6-8 weeks so find a good waxer that is not too expensive after a few times the hair starts to thin out a bit , I have tried both shaving and waxing , waxing is definitely the best option


    Ps

    motorbike racer’s wax their legs ;)

    I've got hair all over the shop, arms, legs, fingers, chest, shoulders, back and it doesn't bother me that much but i can understand how it would bother someone. After joining the gym and getting changed infront of people I've learned to not give a toss what everyone else thinks ! Easier said than done but you'll get there if you stick to your guns !

    I am one of the Knitted Men Too!

    I get my back waxed because I just like to, It's nice when your away to have a hair free back..Its a personal choice for me,But its normal to have hair all over the place..

    Thanks for the replies. It is reassuring to think that body hair is not as uncommon as I first thought. I may get my back waxed though as the hairs there are very long course black ones, a bit like pubes. The rest is shorter finer hair. So Im not a freak after all.

    Not a freak at all, just a normal blokey bloke!

    A friend of mine is really really hairy on the legs from a treatment he gets from hospital for an illness. He uses a hair shaver (like the ones a barber uses) does his legs with that. Works fine for him and you can graduate it same as a barber would do, he then waxes his back.

    Job done.

    If it makes you feel better just do it.
