I know that I have commented on this before but I would just like to say (again) how nice it is to see young men with body hair in the recent videos and in public.
It seems that the past several years young guys were all about removing their chest hair by either waxing, shaving or what have you. As a young man with some chest hair I was, at times skeptical, about removing my shirt in front of people because I had chest hair. I tried shaving it once and felt like a wierdo for doing so. It just did not seem right to me. Over the past year I have decided to just let it be. If people do not like it, that is their problem. I will say, however, that I am not one to walk around with my shirt wide open or off, but in certain situations I do let it show.
I have noticed this trend around my college campus also. When I first started here, it seemed like I was the only guy in the showers with some fuzz on his chest. Now it seems as if very few guys have hairless chests, even if it is just a few hairs or a treasure trail.
My roommate for the second half of this year (my first one transferred to a college closer to his home state due to family issues) was Italian and boy was he proud of the rug he had on his chest. He once told me that he started shaving his beard at the age of 11. He said that he and his 2 brothers all shared a room growing up and they would tease him (because he was the youngest) because he had a baby butt smooth chest until he was 13. I guess his ancestry instilled in him that the harrier the chest the more manly you are.
I just thought I would start a thread on this topic to see how others feel about the changing trend in young men's body hair. I think it is nice to see men with what they are given and not all waxed and shaved so that they look like a prepubescent little boy in a man sized body.
What do you think?
