Body hair, facial hair, hair on our head... Why do we humans shave our hair? When and why did we start doing this?

I'm sure I could wiki this or something, but I always figured women started shaving their legs when nylon was in shortage during WWII and they could not wear stockings

Because a big vagina bush is prickly and unattractive.

Not quite, but a good guess, I think! Here's what I found:

Interesting topic.... old school teaching in my culture says that only whores shave.

But now new school logic pitches that you're gross is you don't shave body hair....

I always liked the hair in my pits and crotch, always thought it was pretty. But I stay bald in both areas.

I only shave my legs in the summer, only from the chins down only because those hairs are black and noticable.

When we realized that sweat, funk, foliculitus, 6 inch arm pit hair, and spotty beards were not a good look. Oh and mustaches on women Oh and long ass nose hairs and ear hairs on men Oh and all that ass hair on men Oh and all that straight hair on a man's ass that looks like clumps of spider legs when it gets wet

Who said so?

Fan of 'hairy valleys' here!

I hate totally-shaved vagina... Makes me feel like a paedophile... Not a bush either, I have enough dental floss in my bathroom, thank you..

Just some hair, trimmed down, thats oerfect... We were made with hait @ that place, there's a reason 4 it

Because hair harbours bacteria and makes you smell.

Men either shaving or trimming their beards is just good grooming. Always keep the mustache though because a man just doesn't look like a man without one.

Men shave and trim their dicks so they can look like children and attract pedophiles.

I can explain why. It's all about increasing good hygiene.

A hairy vagina is NOT a big sell like it was before 1985. These days, men AND women like to see what they're dealing with before oral sex.

And besides, no woman like hair between her teeth after going down on a man OR another woman (my apologies for being too graphic!!!).

The cruelest twist of fate for men is that as we age, we tend to LOSE hair on the top of our heads (where we want it) but GAIN hair on our backs, arms, nose, ears, etc (where we don't want).

Mmm, not all the time but, I prefer my afro (on my head big), my goatee short and neat and everywhere else low low low ... LoL

Honestly, I have to say, it depends on my mood for 'the bush' ...

I always get razor burn down there : (. I do it anyway, baby powder seems to work. But I need something more effective

yep or use both

I use those waxing strip things to be honest. It takes everything off easily, and makes it grow back slower. Plus everything looks and works better when shaven or trimmed low. I dont like dingle berrys or my deodorant not working right. Its either those things or trimming low, never ever do I shave. Shaving SUCKS, takes too long, gives you rashes or cuts w/e and makes your hair all ingrown or thick and hard to work with. That stuff works good for women because they like to stay smooth, shaving doesnt mix well with men.

I think only straight guys go totally bald down there cause women dont like flossing

I used to shave it all off when I was confused and slept with girls. they preferred it that way.

I like shaved balls though, easier to play with other than that nicely trimmed crotch hair is great..blond or ginger pubic hair is not a good look for men tho, better go bald
