There's something unsettling about snuggling up to a guy with baby smoothness all over. I'd rather curl up with someone who feels like a man, not someone who makes me feel like a child-molestor. And shaving??? One night of sex with someone like that will hospitalize me with third degree road rash. Granted, hair is more becoming on some areas than others (like seeing dreadlocks growing from a guy's shoulders would make me do the technicolor yawn), but soaking yourself in a barrel of Lemon Neet (YEOUCH!) and you're arguing with Nature, who has never lost an argument.
I don't know what your tastes are, Amy and Lena, but even if I liked it smooth, I would go for someone who IS naturally smooth. Not someone who needs to use Ladybug for the rest of his natural existence or take a vow of celibacy.
You've got what you've got. Instead of committing yourself to a painful lifelong maintenance ritual, why not wear it with pride and find someone who accepts it?

I agree with you on some levels, Patrick. But there's some stuff I just don't want to see. Hairy backs, unibrows, excessively hairy armpits.....
