Men shaving legs?

As a woman, I wouldn’t mind if a guy wanted to shave his legs. During the summer would be especially nice with shorts and all.

It all boils down to personal preference, live and let live!

Absolutely “Live and let live!!!” We should embrace different not fear it, the world would be a happier place.
I don’t shave my legs but the front of my lower legs is completely bald, it’s a convenient place to practice. I’m hoping it’s a look that will catch on :wink:

Shaved legs with shorts are the best. Very comfortable and helps with sleep.

I also agree that men should be able to shave their legs without all the stereotyping that goes with it. There are many reasons that men shave. Personally, I started shaving mine a couple of years ago to see what they would look like and feel like. My leg hair does not grow in evenly. It is not very thick and does not grow at all on the lower back section of my calves and inner thighs. Some of that might be due to my wearing jeans and socks all my life or maybe it is genetics? Anyway, I kind of think they look better evened up and clean. I have been getting some spider veins taken care of at a local clinic and that required me to shave anyway so they could see everything and it makes it easier to get the compression stockings on that I have to wear for a couple of weeks. It gave me another good excuse to keep my legs cleanly shaven. There are others who do it for sports or other reasons. My point is, why do others think they have the right to judge others and think of them automatically as any particular sexual orientation just because of different body grooming habits. I happen to be a straight guy. Everyone should just relax and be happy in their own skin their own way. Men who have hair on their legs evenly, look just fine to me. Others who have no hair also look fine. To each his own.

I use a combination of an epilator and shave my legs. Really, everything from chest down. I found myself at first trying to always have the perfect excuse or reason why I shaved. I’m a runner, exercise. have a skin condition that requires prescription lotion at night, get massages often, etc… I finally just say, yep, they’re shaved, and leave it at that. Every year more and more guys are shaving their legs and before too long there will not be a need for an excuse it will just be common place. Life is too short to be concerned with what others think. Do what makes you happy and have no regrets.

I’m a transgirl, but shaved for 20 years before I transitioned. I never saw the point in giving excuses beyond “Because that’s how I like it”… And…definitely more Cowbell!

I’ve also used an epilator. I like the results but don’t like that you have to wait until the hair grows out again before you can use it again. Shaving has to be done more often, but unless I decide to get it done permanently that is what I’m stuck with. I can’t use depilatories. I seem to get burned by them easily. I agree totally with you in that I’m tired of finding excuses. I’ve kept my legs shaved since April, so I’m going on 7 months straight. That is the longest I’ve ever gone and don’t see any reason not to continue being me!

Long time reader, first time poster.

I am in my 40s and have shaved my legs (and everything else) since age 13.

I wasn’t good at it at first, but now can do both entire legs in 10 minutes. I make it part of my daily routine. While I wax the chest, back, underarms, and genital regions, I only shave the legs.

I proudly tell all my female companions about it, talk about it, and shave in front of them. I even get turned on by it. I think it also keeps women on their toes, as they don’t slack off on their own grooming when they see me.

Finally, why do I do it? I shave my legs ( and remove hair from entire body) because I love the look, love the feel, and clothes fit better. Frankly, I also think I do it because I like looking prepubescent with no secondary adult hair anywhere.
But I am totally hetero and love women…go figure.

I appreciate men who keep their body hairless, it’s really sexy and it shows they have great hygiene. I just wish my boyfriend would let me show him how it feels when you use an epilator, when the results last longer but no way I’m gonna see that in my life time :slight_smile:

I have a friend who doesn’t have hair on his legs and wanted to have them growing. He shaved it and hair really grows.

I’ve been curious about it, but never attempted it.

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. And as a male you don’t need them to be silk smooth: even when you don’t shave it for like 3 weeks it looks quite ok.

Hello All,

I haven’t been to this forum for a long time and I am sorry I have been away, but been travelling a lot. I see there are quite a few new posts.

I am still shaving my legs and going on well over 16 years now. to me it’s just normal and I still continue to enjoy the look and feel. I guess it’s been so long now that no one comments anymore. It’s just my look.

My son is 16 now and he shaves his arms. I don’t know why. He also shaves his legs sometimes - maybe because he thinks hairs will grow faster (smile).

Anyway hair is a personal choice. I like smooth legs and enjoy wearing shorts with smooth legs. I have said all this before but with shaving for men becoming more and more commonplace I thought I would say it again.

I don’t think shaving your legs in any way detracts from being a man. If anything I think it really showcases a mans legs if you are into that sort of thing.

My girlfriend loves the smooth look and I always feel clean after shaving. I would not want it any other way.

I have a friend who shaves his arms and it’s pretty common in Spain but know nothing about legs ;/

I know many men who shave their arms, legs, chest. Mostly they are bodybuilders, lifters, or other athletes.

Thanks to you guys talking about male leg shaving I shaved mine. Wife always said if I shaved my legs, did I want to be a woman. No I just like the look of smooth legs. I told her that I did it to stay cooler this summer. It worked and I am smooth. I have shaved my Pubic hair for 15 years and my underarms for 10. I started shaving to help from getting heat rash and with in a few days I had no more heat rash. I won’t lit the hair grow back. I love being smooth. Now I am in love with my hair free legs. Thanks guys
