What are your feelings on body hair?
A new survey conducted by the travel dating site MissTravel.com asked both gay men and straight women how they liked their men–hairy or smooth?
The results:
58% of gay men said they like their man to be furry. Meanwhile, 61% of women said they prefer his bodies hairless.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
These results fall in line with those from a similar survey conducted earlier this year that found gay men demonstrated a stronger preference for dudes with facial hair.
“Homosexual men preferred hairier stimuli than heterosexual women, supporting past findings that homosexual men have strong preferences for masculine traits,” the study found.
The results also mirror a similar survey conducted by Manhunt in 2013 that found 79% of gay men wanted their men to leave their body hair the way God intended, and only 21% wanted it shorn.
As for manscaping, the MissTravel.com survey also revealed that nearly half of men do manscape their chest, with 46% reporting they shave their chest hair.

Depends on the guy. Some guys have beautiful chest hair.

I like how hairy guys look, but I don’t like the roughness. Smooth is better for touching. I like both though…

Smooth is great if it is natural but if it’s shaved then it feels awful. Hate the prickly feeling.
Ditamo
That’s true too. That’s even worse.

Hairy chest , but not a hairy back

Very limited choices on the poll. “hairy hairy hairy!” sounds like an ape so doesn’t fit. Both would have been a good choice to have. Back to the drawing board.

Nothing better than a super smooth, slender body to share a bed with. Black, white, Asian, latin, I love them all

The “smooth” trend started in the ’80s with Calvin Klein who liked his boys smooth. Other designers who came after him also pictured their models hairless. I have magazines and men’s clothing catalogs from the ’60s and ’70s and the models are natural; lots of hairy ones. But this trend is coming to an end, thankfully, and I am seeing hairy models again.
Just about everybody is in good shape, so sometimes body hair is the only thing that distinguishes one good looking guy from another. When they all shave, they all look the same.

CO Stratman on “Orange is the New Black” is hairy and super hot. I would have sworn he was smooth. Yeah, I thought about it. I love his face and the bod is amazing. Kiss kiss.

I couldn’t agree more. CO Stratman in underwear… One of the reasons to watch Season 5.

Hate the smooth chemo look.

Hairy and natural works for me. Manscaping and trimming is a no no in my book
