Can Hairy also be sexy?

So I got an interesting comment a little bit earlier regarding my post from a few days back featuring Michael Churchill (one of my favorites btw mrgreen)... Apparently it had something to do with his 'hair'... and its 'repellent' qualities...

So it got me to thinking... does hairyness really take away from attractiveness? And by that I mean not just body hair, but a little facial hair as well... are men who aren't fully shaved somewhat less appealing than men who are? (I believe this was part of a poll not too long ago no? cool)

Personally speaking regarding my own tastes, I don't sport a beard or a mustache (I shave once a week so that should give a hint as to how prone my chin is to growing hair)... and when it comes to my taste in guys, as you might've noticed by now, I've developed somewhat of a tendency to to lean more towards the hairless models (unintentionally so of course mrgreen)...

Truth be told though, I'd say I'm kind of ambiguous when it comes this topic. I've never really paid attention to body hair... unless of course its excessively noticeable... (back hair? um... no confused)...

So I figured I'd satiate my curiosity to a certain degree. I'm not gonna make this a month-long side poll, but I figured asking as a general poll would work. So yeah... body hair, what say you? Given a choice between hairless and body hair, which would you generally prefer?

Definitely hairless (and when we see your blog we clearly have the choice :-D ). But I know it's a perfectly personal taste ;-)

Crazy Sam said...

Hairy dammit!! :P
You know how pissed I'm when every single model goes the "smooth" way! Why can't people see hirsute men can look damn sexy? You know the trouble I go for in search of looking hairy guys? And I mean the non-porn ones where I want to see the guy without his dick jutting out.

Yeah back hair is no for me too. But hair on chest and legs? Bring it on!!

Guess it really depends on the model. Some look better hairless and some look better with hair. I personally like guys with a little bit of hair, as it makes them appear that much more masculine.

Eric said...

Adding to what Ken said, maybe there's a perfect center somewhere between no hair and too much hair.

I really don't mind either way, but photographers in general tend to prefer the no hair look so that's predominantly what's out there.

And yeah Calimo, I realize it's a matter of personal taste :-)

But your comment did raise a good question in the last post ^_^

Definately with some hair. Of course, as it was said, it's all a matter of opinion, but for me, a hairy man looks like, well, a man and not a teenager trying to look older than what he really is.

Back hair, though, is something I don't care for, I draw the line at crossing the line at monkeydom!

akirakid said...

Not everyone wants the Tom Selleck or Sam Elliot kind of chest hair but they defined masculinity for their era. Look at Hugh Jackman, the men from "Nip/Tuck", Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Harper, Bryan Thomas, Shawn Christian, Chris Evans...would you kick any of them out just for chest hair? On the other side, there's Ryan Reynolds, Zack Efron, Robert Gant and a host of soap stars. There is not one "perfect" ideal out there. Everyone has preferences (mine leans to the fur). Let's celebrate them all equally.

Crazy Sam said...

So.. since the poll speaks the preference, can I expect more hairy guys on this blog?? :D

Eric said...

Well the only problem with hairy guys in general is that photographers tend to not go for them. :-(

So what are you left with? Well the type of pics you were referring to earlier :-S...

That said, I'll gladly post gorgeous hairy guys (should I run across them) and feature any really good photographers who happen to favor that type of model.

They're few and far between but I'm pretty sure they must be out there :-)

Crazy Sam said...

Thanks man. I will look forward to them. :)

Clearnv said...

I love guys with bushes, goatees, back hair, hairy legs.....basicly everything, and im with you sam, its such a crime that every model out there is smooth like a baby :(

Adam said...

I definitely prefer hairy, it's too unnatural to go without.

Anonymous said...

Crazy Sam said it all. Ditto!

Hairy legs, at the very least, show a natural (sexy) look.

Sexy Man said...

I would say its a personal taste as well, but I would prefer the body to be clean of hair =)

All of the above notwithstanding Eric, does this beautiful man have a name or somewhere to find pictures of him out of those boxers?

Alan down in Florida

Eric said...

I've developed a tendendency to hold off on posting fully nude shots seeing as things could quickly get out of hand were i to let loose (lol, if only you guys could see some of the stuff I hold back on :-)...

But yeah Alan, unfortunately I don't have a name but if you send me an e-mail, there's a few interesting extra ones (aside of course from the ones hidden in the links.


Also, I find it interesting how the hairy category completely blew away the shaved. Maybe there's a large audience out there totally being ignored...

Dave said...

Thats because the popular image of a young man is ( 'tis at least here ) smooth and shaved. And my guess is that as with most other things, it does not have to reflect reality.

As of my personal taste.. A furry chest, rawr ( No, no jungle, just a nice fur.... Like Mr. Hot Model has! ( You know, sexy and hot, but huggable and cute at the same time... Aaah I'm drifting off.. )

Salutations, Dave

I really get that everyone has their own concepts of what is attractive and what's not - but - I also think our society has a lot to do with the trends of what is ideal. (I.E: Making women feel like they're fat & ugly if they don't have the body of a 13 year old boy.)
Extremes (in my opinion) are never a good thing. Yeah, I'm put off by men who look like they're still wearing a sweater-vest when they take their shirts off, but this trend of shaving everything below the eyebrows is going too far (see above comment about 13 year old boys). Everything in moderation.
And that's my two cents...

John said...

I love chest hair, treasure trails, lots of bush, leg hair, arm hair, hairy armpits and goodness knows I love a hairy butt.

I do not like back hair. Those guys can have each other.

hobbster said...

This guy has the PERFECT amount of hair for my tastes. If you've got "extra" pics of him, I'd love to see 'em!

mr. razz berry said...

FunNFurryOtter said...

personally, i love the look of almost all men... it's about the chemistry. but, having said that, if i had to choose, i'd always choose hairy over hairless (and that includes hairy backs!)

Does anyone know a good blog/website of the quality of this one with more hairy men? love to find out!

Matt said...

Hey Eric, I know this is an old post, but this guy is my dream boat!

If you do have any so-called extras, I'd love to see them.

Keep it real...sexy!

Matt
