    So I think this is the right place to post. First off though, I want to say that I have no gender identity problems, I know that I like what's between my thighs and whatever. But still, this is something not everyone does and I really want to do it.

    I just feel that body hair has outgrown its usefulness for humans and it really just makes me look uglier, and it's not like I need more things to make it worse. I just obviously can't do it without people noticing it other than my private area, which only I see anyway. So I'm waiting for next Fall and for the weather to get cold again so that I can hide it under a pullover and trousers/jeans. Is this a good idea, and can I do more to stay invisible while changing my looks the way I feel comfortable?

    I would not worry too much about people finding out, only girls would notice and guys would not look to see if you have hair unless they are checking you out. :slight_smile:

    I've been sans body hair for a few months now and it's great! (Well, except for the constant shaving. :dry:slight_smile: Spending a lot of time outside these days in only shorts because I'm working on my first serious tan. (I am ghost white otherwise, lol.) Was very anxious about it at first. But, other than a few catcalls :slight_smile:eusa_eh:slight_smile:, no one really seems to care. It's wonderful being able to be you, so be it! Life's too short!

    Incidentally, here's a thread we have in GI about face/body shaving, in case you need some good pointers. :slight_smile:

    Out to everyone
    Lots of guys who swim or ride bikes competitively shave, wax, or get laser.
    Sorry, as a girl I can't really offer any more helpful advice.

    Well I wanted to go swimming this summer and also ride bikes a lot so that might be a good excuse actually :grin: Thank you all for the suggestions, I don't feel that it's a lost cause anymore!
