A member asked:

What do you suggest if i'm 16 and 1/2 (male) and haven't got armpit hair. is this normal and will i get it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What else?: Most young men get their armpit hair after their pubic hair has been developing for a few years. If you are having normal erections and ejaculations, be thankful for good health. Many men have sparse body hair everywhere above the waist, and many women seem to prefer a man like this.
