Learning to be comfortable with body hair

[Cicero]

I feel very uncomfortable with body hair. When I was 14 I would shave my legs, but now I know I can't get away with that. I'm only comfortable with my body hair in PE but that's only with guys, with girls I feel uncomfortable. I do I learn to become comfortable with body hair around girls and my parents?

Beach season is coming and I will be wearing shorts and no shirt which will expose armpit hair and leg hair. Do you feel like this? Is this normal?

I was like this when I first got leg hair. Its normal to be self conscious. To become more comfortable, just go with it. If somebody notices its fine. If your parents notice, they should be fine, everyone gets body hair. When girls notice tell them its because youre more mature.

When I first got arm pit hair I was so scared to show anyone haha. When I went swimming I would old my arms down. But as I got older, and advanced further through puberty I got used to hair ha. I am not very hairy at all, but I do wish I had less on my legs ha.

Thankfully I'm not the hairy sort, but it does take getting used to. There are quite a lot of older guys I hang out with though, and some are particularly hairy. Especially when there are girls around, it's always good to know there are others around.
Leg hair is bound to happen and unless you're an ape down there, there's really nothing to be worried about. Mine's there and obvious but doesn't stick out like anything so I'm thankful for that.
I used to feel shy because I developed hair quicker than most guys my age but now it's normal, and it's good to feel that way :)

I feel the same way man

I was like that when i first got armpit hair but not leg hair. Armpit hair and chest hair are natural and your parents wont say anything and will totally understand. They only hair i remove is my chest hair.

I was like that when I first got it. If you stick it out you get more comfortable with it over time. If you shave it you could just reinforce a feeling that it is some how odd (which it is not) and delay getting used to it.

I was kinda like that with my belly hair but we went to the pool allot so I got used to it quickly. So your best chance is summer time when every one is whering shorts and shiz. But even here during winter the best thing to do is just kinda flaunt it I guess. Worked for me but every one is different.

some people like hair some dont its just part of life...

[Clawhammer]

Bear it with pride, laddy. You'll get used to it. Even if other people think you're weird for it or something, don't let what they say dictate your life. I get comments on the amount of chest hair I have, you just gotta pull it off well and not make a big deal over it. Practice makes perfect.

[bwdude15]

I actually feel the same way bro. i just learn to deal with it.

[Overcast]

yea man, especially last year during that season too (wen i was 14). I learned to just live with it, like a lot of dudes. It comes with the age man, and every guy gets it, so its not like your alone. Anyways,

as for the girls also... they probably like it anyways!

[megatime]

It woz weird at first havin pubes and hairs up my butt crack but Its fine now..dad uncle and cousin saw them at pool showers when I woz 14.

[trystan10]

I like my body hair a lot actually. But theres nothing wrong with having some. Girls wont judge you its actually manly

[Zman21]

It deffinetly makes you appear more manly to have some. It is a little weird at first but once you get used to it, it is no big deal

[harsh]

It was kinda weird getting body hair at first but a lot of girls find it hot so don't worry about it

[KrazyBoi95]

I love my body hair as well and its nothing to be worried about

[ddb1]

If you happen to be shirtless around girls, you could just put a shirt on, or, let's say you're at the beach- just don't worry about it. It's not that big of a deal, and some ladies will like it because it makes you look more manly.

[Arsenalfan123]

Summer just gone I was down at the beach like that with male and female freinds . I was completely OK with it

[Chris95]

This has been the story of my life. From a young age I've basically had a ton of hair all over my body. If all you're worried about is pit and leg hair, then that's good because those are 2 places guys are expected to have hair. The only way I've been able to get comfortable with it is just take the plunge, and expose it, but don't make a big deal about it. You might get some comments but in the end you'll ease into it faster than you think.

[Michael Anthony]

yea what you're describing, arm pit and leg hair, is totally normal and nothing to worry about. like the guy above me said, just expose it and you'll get used to it.

I wish I were comfortable with body hair. I don't like it.

I personally have never had an issue with having hair on my legs and arms. I've never shaved them.
In regards to the rest of it... I use this:
http://well.ca/products/braun-cruzer-face_56083.html

It's a fully washable electric razor. So you can use it to trim your pubic/body hair, and then wash it before you use it on your face. The comb has 4 preset lengths, so you can trim it as long or as short as you like. It's a worthwhile investment. $70 might seem like a lot, but I have no regrets. Not only can you use one of the longer presets, and rock that sexy stubble all the time, but it saves your skin from razor burn and pimples. Which you don't want. Especially around one particular area.

Hope this helped man.

You can use it anywhere?

[Caaaakeee]

Yes you can. Just make sure to wash it really well before bringing it back around to your face lol.
