Dan on shaving

The Onion A.V. Club | Savage Love
I need help understanding a recently observed trend. As a physician, I see lots of naked bodies. For several years, I've noticed that, generally speaking, many straight patients (men and women) in their 20s have trimmed and/or coifed pubic hair. A lot of the men tell me that their girlfriends prefer it that way; some have said, "It makes me feel cooler and cleaner." Occasionally, I have to treat folliculitis (an infection/inflammation at the base of the hair follicles) caused by overaggressive shaving. I have noticed that many of my 14- to 16-year-old male patients have completely trimmed off their pubic hair. What gives? When I was that age, I anxiously awaited a full set.

It seems Dr. Evil was right when he said, "There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking, I suggest you try it."

hairy is sexy on men. But for some reason I don't like beards and mustaches. They remind me of my dad. So that's a turn off.
