Embrace Your Hair!
This might seem like one long non-sequitur, but just follow along for the ride.
OK. The other day at work we learned how to use this thing called an AED--Automated External Defibrillator. This is a device you'd use in an emergency to shock someone's heart in the unlikely event that they collapse and you can't find a heartbeat.
The man who showed us how to use it said that you have to pull away all clothing, etc., to get a good seal on the skin. One of us asked, What do you do if a person has a really hairy chest? And the fella said, Well, you have to use a Rake razor and shave his chest before you can apply the pads. We all got quite a kick out of that. How much hair do you have to have on your chest to need a freaking Rake razor??
That got me to thinking about how our culture is so fixated on body hairlessness. What is it with that? Why is it sexier or more attractive to be shorn? We'll do anything it takes to keep the hair on our heads from falling out but god forbid you have any extra body hair anywhere else. I just don't get it. And what about all that scratchy stubble as it starts to grow back in? Talk about high maintenance!
Anyhoo, I hope you won't cast judgment on me, but recently I've had the opportunity to view two different adult films, one made in 2007 and one from 1978, and one thing in particular stood out.
The difference in body hair amounts was incredible! In the newer film, people's parts were practically bald--even the guys. I couldn't believe it. I admit I don't watch a whole lot of porn, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought it was a bit much (a bit little, I guess is more accurate).
In the one made back in the day, people looked like regular people. The guys had tons of hair, the women had regular-sized bushes, and nobody looked like an infant. It was so much better looking. None of the women had implants, either. All in all a much more natural film!
I guess I'm old school, folks, but I say keep your hair. Embrace your hair! Even if it means you'll need a Rake razor application before someone uses an AED on you, hair is better than bare. Especially down there!!

It is strange that humans are attracted to hairlessness, but ancient
artwork shows its a trend all through human history, so there must be
something genetic about it. The Venus de Milo isn't sporting any underarm
hair, after all.
Oh, ThAT PICTURE! Yikes! I say keep your hair, too, because without it,
folks just look too much like little kids.
Hairy over bald, any day. And I'll say no more about it...
Thank you for the laugh! It was loud and snorty and much needed.
one of the main reasons you shave the hair is to avoid the burning/frying
that happens when applying 360 Joules of current to a hairy chest! of
course in an emergency you will just put those orange puppies on any chest
from wolfman jack to that ahiry guy from that other movie... hmm, yup.
sorry it took me so long to respond--i've been a bit harried. ha! oh, i
kill myself.
