Full Version: Do Asians Have Less Bodyhair?
Goldsea Forum > Asian American Life > Is it just my imagination or...
Ally-Chan
Okay, all the Asian guys I have dated have had no body hair in the places that most non-Asian guys would have it... (leg, arms, pubes, etc.) One friend told me that many Asian cultures find hair a nuisance and remove it. Sorry, I know, this is a really weird question... -.-;;;;
Ultima_Nemesis
Yeah I have heard of that as well. I forgot where though.
chick
yes, I agree that asians have less body hair than whites, though I don't think blacks have much body hair either. but more importantly, we have less b.o. ......... hahahah!

Some Asian folks have lots of body hair, and some have less. I happen to be 'blessed' with too much fur wink.gif , so I shave. A lot of Asian folks use the 'threading' method to remove body hair. Depilation is pretty popular in our culture.
Ally-Chan
What's the "threading method"?
AC_Dropout
Threading is a very old artform. Basically a person using baby powder around the region that is going to be dehaired. Then uses two strings and snap them together and quickly pluck out the unwanted hair.

But as for natural body hair. A lot of east asians I know usually had less or develops more slowly.

my face isnt really hairy (the ol facial hair is coming in slow) but my legs are freakin hairy as heck. and in comparison, my legs are much hairier than my other asian friends.
Ultima_Nemesis
Yeah my legs are hairy too wink.gif
My family thinks it's weird for a man to shave his legs. I don't think I have ever seen an Asian man with hairy legs. And I don't think I would care either to see someone's hair on their body, well maybe except the head. biggrin.gif

I find myself having hairy legs too. But my arms aren't that hairy. But around my chin area I tend to grow slight facial hair.

It's kinda of strange, my boyfriend is like completely hairless, exculding the "normal" areas, but he has no hair on his balls, arms, legs.... its strange
Ultima_Nemesis

AC_Dropout

oceana

Ally-Chan
Lol, yes AC, I am very jealous that my boyfriend is hairier then me. biggrin.gif lol
Ally-Chan

Ultima_Nemesis
Heh, pretty funny. My cousin most of the time would make a big deal out of her boyfriend shaving his legs.
AC_Dropout

About three months ago I met a wonderful AF, our relationship has blossomed into a full blown love affair (I'm a WM) There is so much about her that I find to be very attractive and she has virtually NO bodyhair, just a little underarm and pube hair. She doesn't shave anything, aside from being a wonderful sweet beautiful lady this is just an added plus for me. biggrin.gif

So am I just the luckiest man alive or is this really normal, reading through these posts I see that there are several opinions on the subject ranging from lots to nearly none, I wonder which is more common?

Ultima_Nemesis
Cool mfk, I like reading this site too. It comforts me sometimes.

But me, I'm so sick of myself right now. I would really like to be in a interracial relationship (preference so don't assume) but that's the point. I'm reading how the best IRR are usually unexpected but for me it won't be as joyous. I have a strong preference for Asians and Blacks and now because of that I don't think I want to be with them anymore. I feel like I would be weak if I did because I want to. I don't want to seem like a fetish.

Am I not pitifull? Just answer me this. I always say that if I'm going to be in a relationship that I'm going to do it with my best friend, that I won't just go around picking girls to date. I'm homeschooled, never had a girlfriend and this is what I decided. Anyway I want to go out with my (if I do have one) best friend (obviously I mean a girl) but sometimes I hope that my best friend would "Happen"............to be Asian or Black. Is that wrong? Or okay or is that a sign of a fetishism? Like I said I have no one to talk about it with so if I did it might of calmed down a bit.

So now I would be afraid to go out with an AF or BF because I don't want to go "I want to marry an Asian/Black, I want to marry an Asian/Black, I want to marry an Asian/Black" then end up marrying a black or Asian. I don't know if this kind of stuff would creep an BF or AF out but don't mind me, it's just I'm a little weird sometimes and sometimes that's not even me talking (or typing)/

I'm Asian and have minimal hair on my forearms and calves. I have almost none on my chest and thighs. I do have pubic hair. My "moustache" and chin hair grow very slowly, and I don't get any on the sides of my face. It sucks because my dad and all my uncles grow some on the sides. I definitely do get insecure regarding my legs and sometimes opt for jeans instead of shorts. I think it would be cool to be a little hairier. Most Asian guys I know are hairier than me.

Compared to white men?
Yes...

Compared to native americans, no.
