ID: the text "body hair is gender neutral" over a super close up drawing of a person, we see their flowing red hair and dark pink lipstick, there are small hairs on their upper lip and chin. The top couple of buttons of their shirt are undone, and they are holding it open to reveal hair on their chest. Their nails match their lipstick, and they have 3 badges on their shirt - a progress pride flag, a trans flag, and one saying "she they".

I can’t get into the mind of someone that wants body hair on themselves or their partners. I’m a straight cis guy and I shave fucking everything but my head and don’t look for partners that are opposed philosophically. I respect the hell out of the position but it’s not my yum

Body hair makes it harder to chafe and more comfortable when in a hot sticky climate since the skin sticks less to eachother. Also, having curly body hair increases the chance of in-grown hairs and that feels awful.

Yes, I find it disgusting on either gender

[-] Borger 19 points 1 month ago

This is rude. You can say you don't like it without calling how a lot of people look naturally disgusting.

And the thing is that this post isn't an open question about tastes or attraction, it isn't an invitation for debate, it is a simple indisputable statement of fact, but some people are just too fragile to sit by and let truths that make them uncomfortable exist without getting defensive, they must make it about themselves and let the world know who they would and wouldn't fuck, because that's all other people (though lets be honest, these are 95% likely to be cis straight men making these comments, so women) are to them - objects.

This is a wild claim to make

How dare people comment on things on a platform based entirely around people commenting on things!

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I think you’re right. TIL. :)

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah that's what I was thinking haha

Coke nails tend to just be a single nail (usually a pinky) or at most a single nail on each hand. However having just your two main digits' nails cut indicates another activity that some may consider even more taboo than drug use, digital interaction with vulvas and beyond.

I think the issue for me was that my body hairs never felt gender neutral. I used to take great satisfaction in ripping out chest hairs by hand as a teenager and I didn't exactly have a good reason why. Now I just shave everywhere on my torso when I have time. To each their own of course.

Yeah, if somebody wants the body hair they are beyond welcome to take it all. Screw that stuff. For more body hair bullshit, google "Pilli Multigemini".

I don't think body hair is particularly sexy but I do think the choice to wear it with confidence is

[-] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I actually find body hair attractive on my boyfriend and find him to look really weird without it. I also find shaved genitals to be weird looking but genitals are weird looking anyway. But I'm also not sexually attracted to bodies anyway so he's allowed to have his body however he wants it. But I do enjoy running my hands through his long head hair and curly chest hair. I don't see body hair as masculine or femminine but I also don't see anything specifically masculine or femminine. Makeup, pants, dance styles, singing styles, manorisms etc... The only thing I identify myself and others as is me and you.
