Personally I like hair on my man, and I married a man who had chest hair along with the "goody trail" (that's not limited to gay guys Christopher ;)). He also grew a gotee, and it looks damn sexy on him. The only things I shave are legs and armpits (and I only do that once a week; that's when it starts driving me crazy), and he doesn't seem to mind. And D I know you're right about the whole hygenic thing, but EEEEEWWWWW Gross! (And I'm still not shaving/waxing down there.)

I prefer hairlessness, but I think it has more to do with what I grew up around than anything else.

Don't remember her name/ site. I was initially reminded of that (female) professor who had topless photos on her personal site and received a lot of flak for it when students found the pictures.

Then I realized it could be read as being too narcissistic, as if I were looking for validation or praise for my body. It just seemed to complicate the post rather than enhance it. I post in haste, repent in leisure...

I am sure you didn't mean to be inappropriate but as one of your students, seeing your naked chest freaked me out. Please don't get me wrong it's a very nice chest it's just a bit weird. It's easier to look up to you when you are clothed. Hugo thank you for taking down the picture.
