Answers:
well if you're going to do it you better have a muscular manly body or you're going to look like a prepubescant girl (sorry but its true) that and i'd also like to say, that shaving you're whole body is a pain in the butt and you have to do it all the time and if you're not going to commit to shaving every day or getting a full body wax every couple of weeks not to do it cuz the only place stubble is acceptable is on ur face and only if it looks good!.
not having to shave is one of the perks to being a guy, i'd say enjoy it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

During ancient times Egyptian and Greek cultures placed a premium on the appearance of a hairless male body, and ancient Egyptian men often shaved their body hair with pumice and razors (Luciano, 2001)!. In the modern era however, body depilation (i!.e!., body hair reduction or removal below the neck) has typically been culturally sanctioned only for women (Basow & Braman, 1998; Hope, 1982; Tiggemann & Kenyon, 1998) and is strongly normative within contemporary Western culture (Toerien & Wilkinson, 2003, 2004)!. With few exceptions, men have not engaged in body depilation because the presence of body hair has traditionally been symbolic of masculinity and therefore associated with men's attractiveness and virility (Basow, 1991; Basow & Braman, 1998; Lewis, 1987; Tiggemann & Kenyon, 1998)!. It appears, however, that the hairless male body ideal has come back into vogue (Luciano, 2001)!. According to popular press accounts, this shifting ideal has influenced many men both to remove and reduce their body hair (Gomes, 2001; Smith, 2000; Stuever, 2000)!. In fact, Boroughs and Thompson (2002) found that appearance concerns motivate some men to shave or trim many parts of their bodies, including most notably: abdomen, chest, groin, and legs!. Consequently, the aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of body depilation, as well as its related social and affective features!. This information will provide a greater understanding of male body depilation and also inform our understanding of the rapidly developing field of men's body imageWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you think you will be doing it a lot (and it sounds to me like you will) just say you get rashes from body hair!. If they ask why you don't shave the hair on your head say it doesn't effect you there!. The other excuse is that you are on the swimming team, but that only goes so far and you have to be on a swimming team!.!.!.
The other thing is, if you constantly keep it fairly short, hardly anyone is going to notice if it is shaved smooth or you have really short hairs!. Especially if it is close to your skin tone in color!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, if you want to that bad then you should wax your legs and arms, used to do it myself for muscle definition as a body builder, but the pits!? I don't know if I would have the nerve to go that far simply because I would be concerned about infected hairs and razor burn in such a sensitive spot, but whatever, that's your choice, I would seriously go with the waxing of the legs and arms, lasts longer, looks way better, not that painfulWww@Answer-Health@Com
Hey if you really want to do it and you like the way it feels, do it!. Why worry about what other people say or do!. You will not be hurting anyone by shaving yourself!. Sure people will probably make fun and tease you but who cares!. If you are happy and this makes you feel good and better about yourself it is of no concern or business to anyone else!. I shave myself and have for many years!. Does not make me feminine at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is up to whatever you feel comfortable with!. Don't listen to your friends!. You did not state your age, but from a woman's point of view a little bit of manscaping is never a bad thing!. Just don't go overboard, there are places that are very sexy with hair!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
