        It’s the opposite for me. Hair seems to wick the moisture off the skin and deodorant persist longer for me.

        When I shaved the sweat just kind of sat there without really evaporating and the deodorant just got sucked into the clothes more.

          That’s because you’re noseblind — hair traps smells, you have to shave your armpits semi-regularly otherwise they will just stink. Deodorant and hygiene notwithstanding.

            Dunno, neither me nor my SO notice it.

            I do notice my body odor if I skip deodorant in the morning or do something more active physically. So I wouldn’t think I’m that nose blind.

            I haven’t shaved my armpits in years now and it’s fine. Regular showers and deodorant is enough for me.

            I do remember when I did shave that it seemed I sweated a lot more. Like the moisture would just drip down my side. Hair seemed to prevent that. My theory is that hair provides more surface area for evaporation, but I have only anecdotal evidence.

              You seemingly sweat more when you’ve shaven because the hair isn’t there to absorb the moisture.

              My theory is that hair provides more surface area for evaporation, but I have only anecdotal evidence.

              I don’t know where you got this from, but I promise you that you are sweating the exact same amount before and after you shave. This is simply how human body odor works, hair traps smells. If you are used to your smells, you are used to your smells. The same goes for your girlfriend.

              Unless you just happen to live in a place that’s cold and sweat less, which I suppose is possible.

              Edit: the word is hygroscopic, your hair is hygroscopic.

          My hair just holds the moisture close to my skin. It also gets in the way of the deodorant actually making it onto my skin.

      How many levels of kink are there? And guys… shaving armpits? That’s a thing? In my estimation that would get your “man card” a point deduction.

        Not every man tries to be manly; there’s no obligation to. In fact the ones who try to are more likely to be untrustworthy. In a rational person, personal preference on the matter of whether to shave (and on a lot of other things) supersedes social expectations.

        I used to be one of the men who don’t try to be manly, but i stopped being a man. Now i have no gender, gender is bloat, why are we preinstalling it on people, please stop assigning genders to newborns, they did not give you permission to do so.

        Tbh I never rly thought of kink as having levels tbh lol but there are many dif kinds. Some are a bit more extreme by nature ig like D/s or bondage, but to me the degree of importance also plays a huge part. Like, liking smth and absolutely needing it. So I feel like that would raise the level as well

        For example, I like armpits but I could def go without, but there’s other stuff where that just wouldn’t be possible lol

        In recent years, men started shaving their body hair ye :( ig that trend came to be, bc body hair is viewed as smth unclean n shaving as “putting in extra effort” this is ofc a psyop by big razor. The fact that I like hairy men has nothing to do w my opinion, I assure u :3
