Chest Hair - Yay or Nay

I don't know definitively but I would assume it's just a remnant of the overall body hair with the chest being the core maybe hair being there for warmth is more important than other places?

Is there any biological reason for hair on back and chest?

Isn't it a throwback to when our ancestors were covered in hair?

No idea about why some men have more hair than others.

Much the same with beard growth, some guys have a constant 5 o clock shadow and others can barely manage a few wisps on the chin.

When I turned 27 in June, it was almost like evolution was doing a reverse back to the days when we were apes. Hairy as a mofo all of a sudden.

Hahaha ditto right here man! I spent 3 months on Dartmoor last year, it was fecking freezing the whole time, I was cold and wet for a lot of that... Me and a few other lads realised that our hair was expanding rapidly. Men of 26/27 growing hair where they never had it. I was a hairy lad anyway but now my nipples are covered, my chest hair expanded 360 degrees and I got tufts on my shoulders... I blame those three wintery months!

I think that the amount of hair we have is due to testosterone levels and maybe genetics. As a species, humans do not need too much body hair (although it is unavoidable) due to the invention of clothes and we lose the function to thermoregulate.

Didn't realise that you could start growing hair at that age.

My family is in general not very hairy so I don't think I'll ever all of a sudden start growing a hairy chest.

So long as chest hair isn't so long that it sticks out the top of your t-shirt then it's grand. If you can see it sticking out when wearing a t-shirt then it's time to trim it back a bit IMO.

I'm 39, and unfortunately you do grow progressively more hair as you get older, in places no one ever warned you about either

I've always had fair hair, then this big black bush suddenly appeared on me.

First thing I did was beat me chest in front of the mirror when I noticed it.:rolleyes::D

Love love love love love love (you get the picture) chest hair

There is something instinctive in me that just thinks men are supposed to be hairy. I would be instantly turned off by a guy who shaves his body hair.

I love a hairy chest on a man, and find the hairs peeking out over the neck of a shirt so sexy. I don't even mind a hairy arse! And there is nothing cuter than that random little patch of hair some guys have at the base of their back.

Phew! Is it warm in here or is it just me?!

Is there not a line that is too much though?

E.g. There is a guy in my gym who always wears a vest and there is hair everywhere. So much so that it is proper curly and meets the curly hair on his shoulders and tops of arms.

Part of the attraction for me is the contrast between males and females. My skin is soft and smooth so I look for something different in blokes.

Chest hair traps a subtle but oh-so-heady musky scent. It's hard to describe but it's HOT. I'd bury my face in that guys chest. Well, not if I just saw him cos that would be weird, I'd probably say hello first!

Chest hair for the win. It's unbelievably sexy. I don't mind a bit of hair on the back but if it's very thick it's a turnoff.

But chest hair...mmmmmm yummy.

Chest hair, belly hair, facial hair..... All good. The hairier the better. Except, weirdly, the head - baldness can be hot too. My OH has a close cropped #1 on top, receding a bit, a full beard and hair everywhere from the neck down and it's very hot altogether. I do spend much of my time burying my face in his chest. The female version of motorboating a pair of boobies I suppose!

This is a question gentlemen would not even consider. Who ever started this threat hand in your gun and badge.

See I don't believe you are right there. A few weeks ago there was an article about the Lions tour on this subject. It said none of them had any chest hair and showed pics.

Surely they must wax/shave or something? Any they are hard men..

You are wrong.


Edited post 'warning'


You are wrong, because playing rugby does not indicate the state of 'hardness' of a men as such would be a bad indicator.

Nobody should be dictating to anybody, it's a personal decision. Less hair will show more muscle definition but if you're fit you're hardly going to look like a slob because you have some.

Wrong. The female version of motorboating just involves more females...

How bad was the back? Was it thick shoulder hair aswell?
