Timely. I just trimmed down my shag carpet rug of a chest recently and the weather has been crazy hot.

Body hair is gross, simple as.

Its context dependant. A dog without hair is arguably more gross...

Arguably, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

"gross", lol. Are you 4 year old ?

Also, having some hair makes sweat more bearable imho.

I have the maturity of 4yo but at least I'm not (as) hairy as you.

As a runner, swimmer, and biker, hair doesn't help sweat at, it holds heat in, and makes going number 2 disgusting.

I have a chest the rivals Austin Powers. It is awful.

Trim it all off and then some. If permanent removal wasn't so painful I'd do it.
