Once upon a time, a select group of men, of the homosexual background, elected to remove their body hair through waxing, trimming, and shaving. This also became standard for women of all sexualities, and now, has even moved to the strange and rare human subcategory: the straight man. It has almost suddenly done from really "gay" to shave your junk, to being almost expect. Many women have reported to me that they absolutely hate it when guys aren't cleaned up down there. I know a straight man or two, and a vast majority of these men choose to at least trim their lowers.
As for women and gay men, it is almost required to remove your hair. My friend from home announced to out whole friend group that she does not remove her "hair from down there," and all of the girls basically screamed in shock. As for gay men, I can tell you that it is a very rare occasion when I encounter a gay man who has not "taken care of himself."
So what is the point of this? In all honesty, "when the brush is shorter, the tree seems taller." Not to mention the benefits in cleanliness. But so what this seems to be is essentially a push up bra for men. A way to appear differently from how you are. Or maybe a way to show off all that you have, rather than let it be hidden. But nevertheless, it feels like cheating. In a world where image is something you can create online, the fact that we do so many things to mask our natural image in the real world is shocking, yet ever present.
Here is a video clip that explains my pop-culture reference; however, has no relation to the content of this post. #sorrynotsorry.
