Is it normal to have a phobia/disgust of body hair?

58% Normal
15 Comments

I am 23 and female. I am obsessed with my body and especially hair. I make sure literally everything is shaved except my arm hair (because I am afraid it will grow back even thicker and darker). If I happen to see a bit of hair I missed on my feet or stomach for example, I freak out and feel disgusted.

Furthermore, I am repulsed by hair on men. I am repulsed if I see a hairy guy even if there is hair on his legs. I can really like a guy a lot, but once I see that he has some chest hair or even worse (hair down there) I feel so sick to my stomach. Is this normal? What is wrong with me?

    You'd probably get a heart attack if you saw me.

      Same with me BUT when it comes to hair "down there" there is no person, including yourself that does NOT have pubic hair, I assume you have a permerant Brizilin and expect all the guys to be the same. Some hope

    I'm a British-born Pakistani and growing up I was ridiculed and bullied for being hairy. I made the personal choice when I was in the military living on my own to shave everything from the neck down. I feel much more clean and confident and only a few times have I had anyone ask if I shave or why I do it.

    I have been to nudist resorts and I don't go there to show off.

    I suggest everyone do a full body shave at least once in their life.

    I think you should get hypnosis that may be the ticket.

      Ahhh I know. I hate my arm hair. It's pretty light though so its not too bad. I love when guys have smooth shaved arms :) I think it's because it shows off muscles more and just looks cleaner. Better aesthetically

    I'm a extremly hairy 35yr old guy. I've hair all over my body. Some in the back to. Quite unpleasent.
    I take it of since more or less 15 year's when I decided to live in a naturist area in full time. Most guys here do it, its a matter of hygiene. My son with nearly 15 as some hair already and he started taking it as well.
    If you really love a guy with a lot of hair explain him and ask him if he minds to shave it or do it some other way. There is a lot of opcions for guys this days.
    permanent hair removal is good but very expensive. He can do it slowly.
    Male models, artists, body builders, football players and so on they all shave.
    I guess those problems can be solved talking and with no talk there is no relation that lasts.
