Is my boyfriend as odd as I think he is?!

Shaven armpits, legs and all the rest are just anothe example of our [as women] unquestioning compliance with patriarchy's vision of what a woman should apparently look like. It's our natural state, after all.
Do what makes you feel comfortable, if you don't like the idea of it then don't grow it purely for your boyfriend's pleasure. But if you don't mind, then personally I don't think it's odd at all.
I'd say grow it, it'll be a nice treat for him!

It's strange that he has any preference at all, IMHO. I never got the obsession with hair, and I certainly don't get the idea that a bit of hair is "gross".
At least he doesn't want you not to wear make up, or ditch the push-up bra
I wouldn't indulge my boyfriend by growing it because I'd find it physically really uncomfortable. I don't know if the 'it's natural so it's how we should be' argument really sways me - if we're going down that route let's ditch deodorant, tooth-brushing, hair-brushing and styling.....and that's both men AND women.
If YOU'RE comfortable with it, then by all means go for it though - let us know if it works wonders for you!! How long are you planning to leave it before you shave it off again, if at all?
But I find men attractive, somy opinion on shaved armpits is probably not very useful.
I dont find armpit hair a turn on BUT I do like the smell. Same goes for the scent of a sweaty ass. So really my point is: fetishes come in one and a hundred forms and what does it for him will absolutely not do it for many others and so it is with my quirky preference for smell. And yes, the 'natural' argument can stand with this to an extent as we were all designed with our natural odours so why are we pushed to be different from members of the animal kingdom??? Likewise, do animals shave just to please their mating partners???
In France they have too by law to keep the smeel going... :hyper:
Also never met or went out with any that had some tho...
I heard that about German women too...
I guess you find some in any country really...
Better without tho...
I do a lot of sport so i wouldn't be able to cope with keeping the armpit hair.
My girl is similarly lucky and relieved that I absolutely NEVER require her to take a shower before any moments of intimacy and certainly not before sex. The greater the depth of her body odour - esp around the anus - the better for me. She remains midly perplexed by my preference but of course is relieved not to be under pressure to scrub all day long. That said, I do love the thought of a relaxing bath or body scrub after sex and being clean does have its place. So, back to my earlier question - I wonder how an attraction to the natural can be considered an unnatural urge??? Me thinks this question shall follow me to the pension counter if not the grave!
What an immature opinion. I really don't get the obsession with getting rid of every last follicle.
Though horses for courses I suppose.
I'm usre if I grew a fuck off big beard I'd be less lucky with the ladies.
It amazes me how often I come across people who will shave their pubic hair to please their boyfriends, but when their boyfriend suggests they grow their armpit hair to please them - Oh no, no way would they do that. Says a lot to me.
