Anyone seen the newest type of wig on the market - the muff wig? Loads of different colours and styles apparantly. Very tasteful.

"Merkins" they're called.

'Muff wigs' Big in Japan I believe.
Anyone going to own up to ever wearing one.. or (blokes.. or whoever, hell, I'm broadminded) chest wigs?

I don't know about wearing a chest wig but I used to have mine waxed before the op

Muff wigs?

I visualize wandering around some pub asking strange women if the mouthful of hair I woke up with this morning belongs to them...

Or the classic conversation:

She: "Honey, what's this piece of fur doing in the waterbed?"
He: "What? Oh... er... ah, the cat must have a hairball, yeah, that's it..."
She: "But it looks just like..."
He: "No, no... that's preposterous... obviously the cat... here, I'll throw it out."
She: "Honey?... We don't have a cat!"

but sweetie we do have a cat

But does it wear Merkins?

aparently so, it lost all it's hair when it was chriogenicly (spelling is irrelivant) frozen, they didn't make allowances for cats.

But then it would have to have an all-over body Merkin. A bit like a Christmas stocking. I don't think the cat would be at all co-operative.

he didn't seem to mind, wait why are we asuming its a he?

Alright then, she. At least that would make the overall shape of the All-Over-Body-Merkin-For-Cats/Bodystocking a lot neater.

do you think i could get one in my size?

That depends. Are you as neat as a female cat?

Plese tsop all htis talk of Jenny in a body stocking, It si too distracting I can hardly tyro I mean rype, sorry I mean type

One of the things that out me off swimming more than I did when I was young was the entire body hair removal thing practised by serious swimmers. It takes a second or two to motice, but you realise that there's something strangely wrong with them besides the weirdly thin legs and perpindicular neck/shoulder interface.

sorry to go back to the original subject, but i've been wondering for years + years, why do we still have underarm hair? it doesn't need to keep us warm, protect, or emphasize anything, and in my experience (shaven/unshaven, long sleeves/no sleeves), doesn't spirit away sweat particularly well.

I believe it's to trap pheromones.

Ok, can anyone help me? As pertaining to "shaving your lady'd bits", well, just how does it work? Do you just shave it into a nice shape?
Or do you trim it as well, to make it neater? Or do you just whip the whole lot off?

Speaking for my self - Sugar it to make it neater

Blimey! After all this time this thread pops up again. What's this about trapping pheromones in your underarm hair? I think you should just neuter them and let them go. Otherwise I'd have to start the "free the pheromones" group.
