Female and male bodies actually have hair in all the same places. Your chest, abdomen, back and shoulders also have fine hair, and facial hair is not uncommon either. Basically, where dudes have hair, you have hair.

We don’t need this hair to keep us warm or to protect us from dirt and germs like we used to, before clothes and soap were invented. It’s not uncommon for people to get rid of almost all their body hair, especially women.

But why?

There’s no real reason as to why hairlessness became a fashion trend, either for men or women. That said, it really is a personal choice.

No matter what anyone says, you don’t need to be hairless to be beautiful or more desirable. It’s really your call to decide if it’s worth it. And if you want to shave it all away, that’s fine too. Just don’t be mean to people who don’t want to get rid of body hair. Body hair is completely natural.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting it either way, just as long as you’re really sure it’s your choice.
