SO don't

GuestNatalia -- you don't have to shave your legs, that's a choice you make. IF a man wants to or doesn't want to, that's a choice he makes. Personally I love it when my SO has freshly shaved legs.

Shaving for years

I've been shaving my legs, as well as the rest of my body hair for several years. My ex didn't like it, but then again....I think all men should shave their legs if they want to. I know I'll never go back to the hairy life, and wish I could afford laser. Been thinking about getting them waxed, so I don't have to spend so much time on them. Saw a real hairy guy today in shorts...I thought it looked gross, but to each his own.

22, love shaved legs

I've been shaving my legs on and off since I was about 16. Definitely prefer shaved legs. Don't have chest hair, but I also shave my "happy trail" and sometimes my arms and armpits. Definitely looks and feels better. Body hair is nasty. Wish I could afford laser.

shaving legs

I started shaving my legs, armpits, groin area, and chest a week ago and I like it. It feels a lot cleaner and sexier than having all that hair on me. My wife seems to like it to - alot!
—Guest karlokc

love the feeling

I AM 67 YEARS OLD AND HAVE VERY THICK AND WIRY BODY HAIR. TWO YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO SHAVE IT OFF, LEGS, GROIN , AND STOMACH. IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE. I FEEL SO MUCH CLEANER AND BETTER THAN HAVING ALL THAT STEEL WOOL GROWING ON ME.
—Guest dandy dan

hmmm, not sure, testing underway

Well I had knee surgury last week and the nurses shaved my leg so today I shaved both of them so they could grow out even. Never thought of trying it before but it sure feels cleaner. I am thinking the nats won't be atracted to me as much as they like the hair, I run into this problem being a salt water guide. So I will let u know in a few days.
—Guest trouters

—Guest David

—Guest Jimmy

—Guest Thirteen

Been hairless for about 7 years now.

I started removing all my body hair about 7 years ago, in 2004. I was a hairy Italian dude with coarse hair. I started simply because I started noticing the trends. More and more men were seen without hair. Look at most athletes (of any sport), do you see hair? No...you don't. Started shaving, but hated the stubble. So I started epilating a year or so later. Been doing that ever sincve. Haven't let my hair grow back since. Hardest part to get though is the rear-end, back of the thighes, and under the scrotum. But I have a method.
—Guest Dave

I love it

I think that every man should try it, yes hair makes us manly but our muscles stand out more when we shave. Pubic area definitly try my wife loves it bald. And women many years ago started shaving but its not written in the Bible that it is a sin to shave so go ahead and do it. If other men question you tell them not to knock it til they try it.
—Guest Guest Ben

Smooth legs on men is better

I think a lot of men out there would prefer to have nice shaved or waxed legs. I think we are now living in a modern age where if a man wants to have a smooth feminine body its OK. I think its great if a guy wants to feel and look feminine. I much prefer to have nice smooth sexy legs than hairy legs, who wants hairy legs these days.
—Guest Paul

U-Bet

I love the feeling of freshly shaved legs. It just feels clean. I understand why women enjoy the feeling.
