I've been known to shave my head and face regularly. I've also been known to trim down my chest, pits, and pubes during the summer when it's hot. I've even occasionally shaved the sparse hair on my shoulders for aesthetic reasons before going on vacation.
However, I don't get this whole eunuch look perpetuated by film, fashion, and television. I know "eunuch" is a bit extreme, but still...why must grown men be groomed to have bodies like teenagers?
