    Haven’t shaved my legs since 2019 and it’s the best. I only shave my pits at this point because my sweat smells worse with hair there. Everything else is free, as nature intended.

      Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It’s a pain to do tho.

        Taking the time to do it is part of why I stopped. I have better shit to do than worry about body hair that’s there for a reason lol.

          I’m a woman, but can’t speak for anyone else here. Also, you do realize that anyone can shave as little or as much as they want regardless of gender, right?

            Of course, my comment was mostly intended humorously.

            At the same time, social norms and customs do exist and while anyone is free to ignore them, I was also curious if it had become common for men to shave their legs when wearing shorts.

              I’m glad the social norms say I don’t have to shave anything because when it grows back, it drives me insane for about 2 weeks.

          No one is supposed to do anything.

          Were hurling through space on the crust of a molten core rock, orbiting an angry fusion reactor.

          Do whatever, star stuff
