Current Events > where did some people get the idea that body hair is unhygienic

(+) Yeah! (+)

i understand teenagers being grossed out by it but i'm meeting women pushing 30 asking me to wax my entire body wtf

Shit if any woman over 30 is asking for that, you better tell you you dont wanna see a single hair below the tip of her nose.

Im talkin full pixie.

it literally traps bacteria and dirt.

so does your skin

also did you know people bathe? i understand we're on CE and you're someone who goes into topics just to play devil's advocate so maybe that's genuinely news

The answer is probably porn.

This.

Companies had product to sell so they created propaganda to make people think that natural is unclean and you MUST USE THEIR PRODUCT IN ORDER TO BE CLEAN

This is why I burned all my hair off and regularly bathe in hand sanitizer tbh. Can never be too careful.

So, why are mens beards so dirty? Well, recent surveys also show around 60 per cent of men dont wash their hands after using the toilet, which could help explain the disturbing amounts of bacteria found in male facial hair.

yeah this wasn't news. beards aren't unhygienic. the average man is unhygienic. lmao

SIXTY percent?! Fuck this, I'm straight now.

60% lol. What absolute bullshit

I prefer to trim my body hair.

My nip hair in particular looks like a group of daddy long legs attempting to escape from under my flesh.

And a hairless asshole is easier to clean.

Oh please. Complaining about bacteria in your facial hair is like complaining about fecal matter on your toothbrush. It's gonna happen. Why even bother? Natural isn't unhygienic. Just wash yourself (your ass too, no its not gay.) And take proper care if your beard and you'll be fine.

It's not far off. As someone who cleans bathrooms at work the hand washing rate is close to 50/50.

i just block my orifices and baptise myself in nair.

I've always been fat to some degree, so having a bunch of hair in moist, crowded spaces is conducive to all kinds of discomfort and funkiness. I'm already dreading swamp ass season. I like my chest hair though.

Trying to separate ourselves from animals, I personally like a hairy snatch

I couldnt imagine the shame of being noticed not washing hands. How do these pigs live with themselves

Possibly from the fact that armpit hair tends to "preserve" body odor.

My mom lost her armpit hair when she needed chemo for breast cancer, and she says she's not needed to use deodorant ever since. I've heard of several other cases like this as well.

I don't think most people necessarily find it unhygenic though, but rather just that males tend to find it unattractive on females for whatever reason.

What the fuck?

Your toothbrush is covered in fecal coliforms and other bacteria. You can't stop it.

It's definitely this. I have tons of body hair, so I could never date a woman that's fallen into that mentality.

When you flush a toilet, small particles of its contents get sprayed throughout the room. If this happens to be the bathroom, your toothbrush will get hit as well.

That's why I try to limit the damage by closing the lid when I flush. Also, my toilet happens to not be in my bathroom, so that helps as well.

Not just the bathroom, they will spread through the whole house. Mythbusters did an episode on this. I cant remember the specific results though but I think closing the lid didnt help much

Darnit, I had to delete my post due to editing limitations, and now it looks silly that my post that you reacted to comes after yours.

It's common to find fecal matter on toothbrushes since when you flush, shit (no pun intended) gets sprayed everywhere. Unless you close the lid first.

Ill delete

When people say its unhygienic, they are saying its less hygienic than clean shaven.

This clarification should be obvious, but I guess not for the average CE goer. Its easier to clean and keep clean skin that isnt covered with hair.

Especially if youre America that thinks dry tissue paper is enough to wipe.

No

No

No, you dont wash your hands?

First we had the topic where CEmen admitted to not using a washcloth, then we had the topic where CEmen admitted to not scrubbing between their booty checks, and now we have this topic where CEmen are flummoxed at the thought of washing their faces and washing their hands. I'd like to say this stuff was a surprise, but it's not. Some of you people are gross

I'm kinda tired of body hair tbh. Need to take it all off.

A lot of people just stop washing somewhere around the stomach. It's fucking gross.

Nah. You're giving some people too much credit. I've literally met women that said a man having any body hair is gross and a turn off. Not everyone means it in the way you're saying

So, what makes that different than hair on your head getting the same particles stuck in it.

I was replying to someone who deleted their post and I forgot what they said. Only filthy pigs dont wash their hands. I wash my hands because Im not a filthy pig

edit: I remember what they said. They said for me to delete my post and I replied no. So they set me up, Ive been had

Not really no. For the last woman that said it, I only guessed she'd have that opinion on men's body hair after she shared that she shaved her body hair religiously. It gave me a vibe of "wow she must really hate body hair."
