Do you "manscape?" POLL

completely smooth from the neck down ever since I started growing body hair; the face gets shaved once a week. not for any aesthetic reason, but to keep my skin from freaking out. This often comes into conflict with the fact that I like my guys hairy and bear-y.

I do "manscape" for a few reasons. (1) Sunscreen is really difficult to apply if the hair is too long. It end up covering one spot too well and leaves the rest of the skin exposed. (2) I hate it when hairs catch in and get pulled by your clothes, especially socks if you have some hair on the top of your foot. And (3) I feel way too hairy when I let the hair grow. I trim everything - leg, chest, arm, pubes, the lot - down to a #3 length on my trimmer every couple weeks or so. Plus, I hate the way your pubes sometimes poke through the fabric of your speedo. It looks odd and messy to me. Speedos are very clean and simple garments so I don't like my body hair ruining it in that way.

I don't know if I'd ever shave completely since I have no need to. Lap times don't matter THAT much to me as a casual swimmer!

I shave my upper arms and what little hair grows on my back, which honestly I'd probably do even if I didn't intend to be seen shirtless. But otherwise no, as a "bear" wearing a speedo while sporting a full chest of hair and hairy legs is my whole thing!
