    A light methylated lotion is much more effective and quite cooling in the spring and summer.

    It has been my experience in life that people who complain about simple problems do so because they want an audience. People who want solutions to simple problems, find them quickly and easily and quietly.

    That second paragraph makes you sound like a terminally online douche

    Sunscreen + man pelt is largely impenetrable to sandflies.

    Alright, now that it’s been brought up, can I just ask whether anyone else is tired of this obsession with shaving? I’m on the other side of the aisle and I can’t understand how hairlessness is meant to be attractive, pleasant to maintain, or (and this is the weirdest one) tactful. Women have body hair. Why it in vogue to pretend they don’t?

    I shave my foot hair, but only because it catches on my socks. I’ve heard exactly one woman complaining about groin hair catching on fabric and that was because it had been shaved recently.

    Women deserve body hair and large pants pockets, but that’s just my political opinion.

    I don't shave for aesthetics, personally, I shave because I hate having body hair, it bothers me.

    I'd like to add that pubic hair can make a big difference for sex as far as chaffing goes. Having sex with everything shaved leaves my skin irritated. Even just a tuft of hair helps prevent that from happening.

    Point is, pubic hair serves a purpose. Besides, the challenge of shaving pubic hair in its entirety isn't worth it to me. You get maybe a day where it's smooth, then itchy bumps that you can't scratch in public for a week afterwards. Not to mention the struggle of shaving an intimate area that you can't easily see or reach, putting a razor super close to extremely sensitive body parts and hoping your hand doesn't slip... no, thank you! Just accept that I'm a grown woman and grown women have hair. If that's a hard line for you, then I guess you're not getting laid. ¯\(ツ)/¯

    As a man, my experience with women's hair down there is positive generally. When it comes to oral pleasure however, it gets challenging to me personally.

    The only real issue with oral is that some hairs stay in your mouth.

    Basically same.

    I've completely wiped out my moustache and beard for various people who enjoy kissing me, but not the facial hair.

    Some people like the scratch, others don't, others don't really have a strong preference either way, so long as they don't have to go through a mane and end up with a mouthful of hair.

    Just... do that both ways, for 'kissable' body parts, per preference of the 'kisser', and its fine?

    This seems very not complicated to me.

    I usually shave my body hair in summer when i wear lighter clothes with more open skin. Its just easier to apply sun protecting cream to bare skin compared to hairy skin.

    Feels better, both to have smooth skin and to feel smooth skin. Just looks better too ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    same goes for men, too, society just doesn't pressure men the way it does women

    Honestly starting to shave more and more areas has made me hate body hair more and more. Idk why, but any hair that isnt my eyebrows or on top of head drives me absolutely insane now. It gets to be much to shave everything all the time, i do it in cycles. If i never grew it again, id be a happy girl

    I have waxed at home, but I can concur with this. Shaving leaves the tips of hair sharp, but when it grows in from the root it gets a fine, naturally-tapered tip that makes it feel softer.

    Which is part of why the myth of "if you shave your hair, it will come back thicker" is so prevalent. The hair doesn't permanently change texture from shaving, it's just that once you get into a habit of doing it regularly, it will feel rough all the time because of it.

    So, I am a dude, thus take this with a grain of salt perhaps, but:

    Find you a person who will be excited to, and capable of safely shaving/trimming you.

    I mean, I've groomed some of my partners, some of them have groomed me.

    So... yes?

    There is at least one person?

    Maybe I am very strange, I am autistic, so social norms are basically all arbitrary performances to me, but it seems to just make sense?

    I'm fairly sure this is also a behavior that is done by a good deal of our ape ancenstors, mammals more broadly: Grooming and cleaning another is itself a kind of social bond, a way to establish and demonstrate trust and care.

    It also just saves money; if you have or can teach a partner how to do things like... haircut touchups, eyebrow shaping, basic mani/pedicure type stuff, whatever, now you don't need to spend money on something you'd normally have to pay someone else to do.

    And you can just like, have a conversation while doing this. Quality time, lol!

    Works super duper well if one of your 'love languages' is just any kind of caring/affirmatory physical touch.

    Very interesting...can they reach down that far??? I mean that distance looks almost a full body length from this perspective.

    Well... I've never had a bite on my scalp or my crotch, so I'm guessing they can't.

    Ive watched these mosquitos. They land on top of the body hair, and then quickly climb down to the skin level, maybe taking a split second to do so.

    Sometimes that's enough of a delay to detect and swat them.

    Bugs, in general, can they bite you anywhere?

    Basically yes, depending on the clothes you're wearing, the position you're in, the climate/biome you live in.

    Sand fleas, at a nudist beach.

    A person sleeping nude in an area that's got lots of bugs, etc.

    You've decided to go camping, where bugs exist.

    ...etc.

    Let me just tell you that bed bugs fucking suck.

    Like, figuratively and literally.

    Ain't everybody got enough money to live in a decently maintained residence or building or... county or city.
