Hair - Help!! - Men's Health Message Board

I just turned 15 and feel I am hairy for my age. I started getting pubes at 10, pit and leg hair at 11 and I even have a fairly hairy chest already. I also shave daily.

Are there others that are like me?? Am I a freak of nature??

All of us mature and develop at different times. Sure, 10 was a bit early and you may feel different at 15, but don't worry! I bet some of the other guys are jealous and giving you a hard time. You have no control over development of pubes, or any hair development. You are NOT a freak, just a teenager in the middle of puberty. There is NOTHING wrong, it's just the way it's supposed to be....you're becoming a man. Enjoy being a teenager, learn all you can about your body and how it works, we truly are amazing beings. And remember, now that you are a man....you have the power to create another human being (of course not by yourself.) Take care of yourself sexually, make good choices and treat yourself with total respect. OK, I'm getting "preachy", stop worrying, all is well!

I AM VERY WELL BUILT AS I HAVE WORKED OUT AGGRESSILY FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS, UNCLUDING CAPTAIN OF HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM.
I ALSO AM FAIRLY HAIRY. I HAVE VERY HAIRLY LEGS AND MODERATLY HAIR ARMS & A HAIRY CHEST. ALL OF IT JET BLACK, ALTHOUGH I AM VERY FAIR SKINNED.

I HAVE NEVER SHAVED MY CHEST OUTRIGHT, HOWEVER, I DO TRIM IT. MY CURRENT AND PAST G/F'S AND I HAVE DECIDED THAT IF TRIMMED PROPERLY IT CAN MAKE YOU LOOK VERY WELL BUILT.

A LOT OF GUYS GOT INTO SHAVING TO SHOW OFF THEIR ABS, I TRIM THE HAIR TO ONLY SHOW IN THE DEEPEST RIPPLES OF MY ABS AND IT THE GROVE RUNNING VERTICLEY THRU MY ABS.

IT SHOWS OF THE DEFINITION FROM A DISTANCE. I USE A BEARD TRIMMER, ACTUALLY MY G/F DOES IT 4 ME IN THE SHOWER. I ALSO KEEP THE HAIR ON MY CHEST SHORT ENUF SO IT DOESN'T CURL AND IT FOLLOWS THE SHAPE OF MY PECS.

THESE DAYS I AM BENCHING ABOUT 250ISH AND SO I WANT TO SHOW OFF MY VERY HARD WORK!

THE GUYS IN MY FAMILY TEND TO BE QUITE HAIRY AND AT AN VERY EARLY AGE. THE HAIR ON MY CHEST STARTED GROWING IN ABOUT 11 AND BY 11 1/2 I WAS, I SHOWED IT OFF A LOT THEN AS I WAS PROUD TO BE ENTERING IT TO PUBERTY AND ABLE TO SHOW IT OFF!

I ALSO WEAR A VERY FULL BEARD THAT I TRIM DAILY. I DO SHAVE MY UPPER CHEEKS AND NECK AT LEAST ONCE A DAY TO KEEP NEET LOOKING!

I GO WITHOUT A SHIRT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AFTER ALL I AM PROUD OF HOW I LOOK.

I DO HAVE TO SAY THOUGH, I DID PREFEER TO WEAR LONG LEGGED SHORTS TYPE SWIM TRUNKS, AS I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, BEING ABLE TO WEAR A JOCK , THAN WEARING A SPEEDO TYPE SUIT, WHERE IT ALL SHOWS AND TO ME THERE SEEMS LESS SUPPORT.

BUT, I MUST ADMIT, MY CURRENT G/F HAS ME WEARING A SPEEDO MOST OF THIS SUMMER AND I AM ENJOYING THE EXTRA ATTENTION. HOWEVER, IT TOOK HER TWO YEARS OF URGING ME, AS I AM SHY, WHEN IT COMES TO THAT MUCH ATTENTION.

NOW SHE IS ON CASE TO POSE FOR A WORKOUT MAGAZINE, BUT THEY MAKE U SAHVE YOUR CHEST OR TO POSE FOR PLAYGIRL, (THEY WON'T MAKE YOU SHAVE YOUR CHEST). FRANKLY I AM PROUD OF HOW I LOOK, BUT WAY TO SHY TO POSE FOR PLAYGIRL, ALTHOUGH IT IS GREAT SHE THINKS I LOOK GOOD ENUF TO DO SO.

WOW I DID GET OFF TOPIC,, SO SORRY, TAKE CARE AND ALWAYS USE A CONDOM PLEASE STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE

btw being hairy is what made be decide to get into weight lifting wrestling etc., I knew a lot of guys and girls noticed me due to the early body hair and i kind of like the attention. also our body hormone levels started at an early age, meaning we also go a BIG jump on muscular development and i took advantage of it and am glad i did

I matured at an early age and am hairy. The great thing was that along with that hair came muscle, I am not a big guy but no one bothered me because I was buff and they were still stringbeans. I had and still am not totally comfortable with my hair, In many ways I like it and think it looks good but am still shy about going without a shirt- this is just me. I am 28- my wife really likes it. Try to be comfortabel with it and get used to it- trimming does help if you feel it is too much- I don't recommend shaving because it takes time and is usually itchy and where do you start and stop to make it look good? DO NOT FEEL OUT OF PLACE! Many men are hairy and shave it off because that was a fad that is on its way out. See if you have it you can always alter it by trimming or cutting just like the hair on your head, but those that do not have it are not going to get it and sometimes I think some wish they had some. Take care

there also is another issue, with that hair also come the ability to be sexually active ealier than most guys your age sinc eyou are well into your puberty. It also shows to girls your age that you are biologicly ready to have sex. That is great advertisement 4 you if you r considering having sex. I was for quite awhile when i was your age, but that was me. I am not saying it is right 4 you. But being a teenager can be tough and it can be fun, so lay back and enjoy the fact that ladies and other guys realise that you are hitting your prime before them. you would be surprised how many guys are jelious of your level of biological development.

I started shaving (face) at an early age and the guys in the locker room al were very jelious and a lot of the girls were very intersested, so enjoy and do not worry about it.

o and Jay, u worked out so hard be pround of your body and show it off more, i do and i endjoy the attention, but then again u r married and i am not but u r way older than me, i am still playing the field.
