    As a woman with hairy pits I really don’t get the whole fetish for them. Like I just let them be hairy because of feminism from college encouraging me to reject stupid beauty standards then me promptly not giving a shit from then on.

      Anything that’s considered dirty or forbidden is going to have a fetish attached to it. That’s why lots of people have foot fetishes but almost nobody has a hand fetish.

    Honestly, my entire philosophy is “trim, and only coean shave if you want to.” Letting that shit go is gross and I don’t care who you are. I’m a dude and I trim, and I won’t ever ask someone to do something I won’t do myself so that’s where it stops.

    I also do partner dancing and, honestly, if you’re wearing a tanktop and your two-to-three inches of armpit hair is just out there being sweaty I don’t think it’s particularly respectful to expect people to put their arms anywhere near that nasty business.

    Just do the bare minimum, I won’t ask for any more than that.

      Your comment made me realize, i wrongly read “women should have hairy ass and armpits”

    Big fuckin shrug on the shave/no-shave thing. Both are hot if they’re hot and down. Same for dudes.

    And if unshaven whatever really turns you off, it’s OK but IMO kinda sucks for you, because most people have body hair and hair tends to grow back.

      Wife is the first Asian I had ever been with. She’s so hairless I thought she oiled her legs on our first date.

        Only been with a few Asian folks and do recall less body hair generally. Either way, hairless: also hot. Mazel

          Me and you both! I so love that it takes her about zero effort to be hairless. Yet the top of her head is thick as hell and solid black at 54!
