From Nerve. And I'm proud to say I was on Nerve back when the Internet was only a twinkle in some nerd's eyes. Of course, I'm lying, but I'm still proud to say it. I really should work in Hollywood, you know.
True, there's a lot to be said for depilation. Besides the controlling-BO argument and the no-picking-hairs-out-of-your-teeth argument, one could also argue that it's the ultimate in nudity: You're never more naked than when you're shorn of your natural covering. Finally, there's the market value: Sex has become more than a matter of desire — it's also a commodity and a signifier of sophistication. When we take our clothes off, we're performing — and we want to look good on stage. By manscaping the growth whose appearance first marked the change to adulthood, the body is civilized and controlled. Ironically, though, if "body
hair" equates to "sex," the smoother we are, the less sexual we are, too. Behind the current fashion for smoothness is the fact that even at our most liberated, we remain fundamentally frightened of our animal natures.
Speak for yourself. Anyone who interviews Norman Mailer and doesn't punch that bitch out is obviously a born feeb.

I may be emulating Mr Obvious of Obviousville here, but has not the gentlemen in the photograph been somewhat extreme with his razor? From my point of view, I find picture number 4 far more attractive than picture number 1, but I suspect that he might have regrets when he sobers up.
It’s worse than that, Vicus. He didn’t shave: he WAXED!
Thank you. Although I hate to see these letters I LedOL.
I won’t tell…for a sufficient amount of cash.
