There is a fine limit of how much hair is TOO much hair. Living in the United States, there is a hair phobia. As the United States. catches up culturally to the rest of the world, there is a level of acceptance of how much hair one can have.

COEXISTENCE Magazine has decided to dive into this complex question of how much hair is appropriate. Face it, if we were meant to be as hairy as monkeys we would be courting female baboons instead of Katie Price Jordan.

Outside the United States, it has been traditionally accepted that a man with hair was a sign of high testosterone. For many females, this bluntly meant great sex. In Japan for example, it is noted that many Japanese women travelled to the Middle East because the men have more hair, signifying more testosterone, which popularly is considered to lead to greater intimacy.

While men in the United States have been bashed for being hairy, the irony is that the most seductive women in the world actually praise hairy men! Brazilian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, German, Iranian, Arabic, Israeli, Armenian, and Asian women LOVE hairy men.

However my hairy brethren, life is about balance. While not being hairy can be a negative, be excessively hairy is also a negative.

Hairy backs: The last time we checked, only a silverback gorilla is allowed to have a hairy back. Having shoulder and back hair protrude from your backside does look scary. On the open beach, people may mistaken you for Bigfoot and no girls will even want to talk to you!

Stomach hair: Acceptable as long as it is not so thick that when you take off your shirt it looks like you have an extra sweater on.

Men, the key here is that hair is okay. Lots of Mediterranean, Latin, and Middle Eastern women actually prefer their men to have hair. If a man does not have hair, in most countries the women just make fun of you and think you have not reached puberty. In a personal experience in Italy, Italian and European women would actually ridicule American men. They would laugh at how hairless they were calling them “bambini” meaning babies. One even commented that,

“If a man has no hair, he probably has a small penis”

Ladies, if you thought you can get off that easy, you are mistaken. Lots of women unfortunately are hairy, like men.

When it comes to being a woman, women are expected to be cleaner, smoother, and have less hair than their man. From a traditional standpoint, even a Middle Eastern one, women are expected to be smoother than men for seductive reasons.

Throughout the world, it is commonly accepted that a man is the rough one, while the seductive female is the attractive sexy soft partner. To our lovely females, we encourage waxing. While shaving may be the easy way out, it is unattractive when a woman’s legs are more mountainous than Osama’s beard. Outside of America, women wax because it is seductive and sexy.

We know in the United States waxing is still not the norm, but when you visit other countries where women roam around freely in thongs, you will see the benefits of waxing. For the unfortunate females who are hairy or have thick roots, take advantage of laser technology.

Baby hair is always acceptable on a female. Men can not expect their lovers to be clean around difficult places such as her nether regions; most men know this. In the end, all a man wants is that their lovers have less hair and have smoother skin than them.

In all, it is okay to have hair. Just remember, men, praise your hair, but keep in mind life is about moderation. Ladies, men do not expect you to be cleanly waxed all the time, however, try to be as soft and smooth for special occasions.
