Question 1

do any men find excessive body hair attractive at all?

Accepted Answer

It may to some: Most men are turned off by women with body hair, beard and other parts of body.But there are few men who find it attractive
beauty is in the eyes of beholder.

Question 2

what could be the probable reason of excessive body hair in men if not hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Family: It is probably a family trait somewhere down the line, as long as there are no other signs and symptoms of "too much" male hormone.

Question 3

how come men still grow body hair?

Accepted Answer

Because we can?: Genetics determines how much body hair a man can grow. Personal preference determines whether he shaves / trims / "manscapes" it. There's no moral right or wrong here. Many men prefer to shave and nowadays many women prefer a shaved man. If you find male body hair disagreeable, there are plenty of naturally smooth and shaved men.

Question 4

should men shed body hair seasonally?

Accepted Answer

Effluvium: This question has been wondered about for many years. The problem and evaluating an answer is that you need a quantitative assessment of hair loss. This is extremely difficult to do with body hair, and somewhat easier to do with scalp hair. It is thought that the seasonal changes in hormones in temperature may indeed result in loss. I personally do not believe this exists.

Question 5

is there a condition that causes a male to not have any body hair?

Accepted Answer

YES: Hypogonadism - low levels of testosterone production in men. It's a endocrine (hormone) condition. See a endocrinologist.

Question 6

what would cause body hair to be less all of a sudden? in men or women

Accepted Answer

Stress?: Stress is thought to be a factor, but other possibilities would include an auto-immune disorder, hormonal cause, or chemical (posioning/chemo) causes.

Question 7

i,m a young black male in my early 20s when will i start geowing full body hair.

Accepted Answer

HairNow,GoneTomorrow: When your penis gets as big as your father's. OK, just kidding.Body hair can continue to grow for years as you get older (unfortunately it will also thin in other areas and grow in other areas you'd prefer it not). It even grows for a while after death. So the answer is: it's hard to say. You'll find out as it happens. The books say a peak after puberty but I don't believe it.Everyone is different

Question 8

what causes excess body hair?

Accepted Answer

Hair: Usually genetic and racial properties but in some cases in women, an endocrine problem.

Question 9

can i use home waxing strips for male body hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But try a test spot first and follow the directions!

Question 10

need advice on what is the the reason of having lots of male body hair?

Accepted Answer

Dense hair in males: Body hair in males is governed by genetics. You have to have the gene for body hair, and if you do it's likely that you will have dense hair as possibly did your parents.
