I've never understood the shaved under-arm fetish. It's just more cultural body modification akin to lip plates, ear rings or teeth blackening. It's totally wrong and crazy that people see the natural state of the human body as "gross".


People dislike body hair, in part, for the same reason that people have so little body hair compared to other animals--evolution has equipped us with a predisposition to be against it. Natural selection would disfavor body hair because it can harbor parasites. Sexual selection would disfavor body hair because physical fitness of a mate is inversely correlated with age which in turn is correlated with body hair; the less body hair you have, the more fit you are likely to be. Remember, for most of evolution, an age of 30 was over the hill. Sexual selection would also disfavor body hair because it could conceal wounds or disease. Also, the sex hormone testosterone promotes body hair growth. The more body hair you have, the more likely you are to be male. Evolution directing people's sexual tastes to generally favor the characteristics of the opposite sex would then cause men to prefer mates with less body hair than found on other men.

There are conscious reasons to disfavor body hair. For example, most body odor comes from bacteria that feed on sweat, not directly from the sweat itself. A tuft of armpit hair is essentially a city of multi-story apartment buildings for bacteria. With shaved armpits, you need less deodorant. With showering daily, I find that I rarely need to use deodorant.

For the record, I'm male, and I prefer as little body hair as possible on females and on myself.

I'm happy to be in the minority on this one. Might be interesting to look into the psychology of why we prefer our females shaved. It's a good way to mask secondary sexual characteristcs and roll back the clock on puberty.>> ^deathcow:

Dag I think you are in the minority position on this one.

That's ridiculously NOT the natural state of a human..>> ^Sarzy:

This is also the natural state of a human being. Natural ≠ better (not always, at least).

Not an abomination, no. But why is there so much squeemishness and stigma against women who don't shave their undarms? I tell you it's the natural state of a human being, and I much, much prefer it in a lady.>> ^Xax:

I don't see anything wrong or crazy about it. Is a man shaving his face or cutting his hair or trimming his nails an abomination?>> ^dag:

That girl's getting better with age.


I initially read that as, "That girl's getting older with age", and I had a good laugh.

I agree with your comment as stated but I find it funnier the other way, no offense.

What are you doing? You don't waste that picture, throwing it around in comments for cheap upvotes, you save it up. Then one day when you have the time to appreciate it properly, maybe pour yourself a glass of wine, and have a good long session.

Each picture has only a certain number of ogle units, they have to be carefully rationed.

Is that from a movie? If so, which one?


I would guess Bel Ami (2011).

looks great, but someone needs to tell Christina Ricci to eat, she looks a bit too skinny.

Black Snake Moan is an upcoming 2007 film slated for February 23rd release, written and directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) and filmed in Memphis, Tennessee. It stars Samuel L. Jackson as Lazarus, and Christina Ricci as Rae.

When Rae, a wild child (and former victim of sexual abuse) wakes up after a night of partying, she finds herself in the home of Lazarus, a former blues player. Rae is attached to a 20-foot chain held by the well-intentioned Lazarus who intends to "cure" her of her nymphomania.

The title of the film derives from the Blind Lemon Jefferson song recorded in 1927.
