A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
