When did men start waxing?

I've taken a nair shower a couple of times. Got rid of all my body hair, didn't touch my face or scalp. Also didn't touch my arms, cuz I didn't want it to be too obvious. If you've got a hairy chest and some hair on your stomach it makes you look brand new in the mirror. And if I ever get a chest piece I'll definately have to do something about the chest hair on a more regular basis. The girls seem to really love it, and it's something to do when you're bored as hell on a late sunday night. But I'm still macho. I drink Jack Daniels, and will soon start using a straight razor. But I have a girl's haircut. BUT I also have cool man sideburns. And, uh, yeah. What was the question again?

I hope you mean as in tattooing, not as in Ricardo Montelban's faux-chest from The Wrath of Khan.

Waxing can be fraught with problems and bristling with hidden traps (says me who has never personally tried it). However ...

A hirsute friend (gay) reckoned that he was getting pretty damn buff what with going to the gym and regular energetic shagging and all, and decided that it might be just the thing get a chest/stomach wax to show off his newly rippling pecs and abs. So he had it all yanked off ... only to discover that underneath the hair he was less sculpted and more lardy than he had fondly imagined.

Moral of the story: chest hair covers a multitude of sins - if you've got it, flaunt it.

(sorry to engage in such necro-threading, but...)

Never mind that, when exactly did women start waxing? And trimming/strimming/shaving when the sun don't shine... Am I the only one to be shocked by where women are losing hair nowadays? Am I showing my age and/or ignorance of modern hygienic standards?

Maybe this deserves it's own thread, but how many men out there are not repulsed by female hair?
Also, how many females out there have ever got a pang of annoyance when they think "crap, I've to shave my pits again...".

Let me hereby declare two things:

1) I do not mind women with hair, despite being bombarded by Julia Robert's infamy all day long on the BBC news front page.

2) I am certainly not a hair fetishist, as trends in internet pr0n would apparently have me be... (or am I?!)

I don't mind hairy women. Let it be said.
