why is it that all the avatars of people nude are shaved?

I guess it is probably not all but definetly most and all the ones I have seen. Seems kind of wiered.

Are smoothies more exhibitionist?
Are furries more uptight?

That is a very good question. I cannot speak for everyone but wife and I shave more for the comfort level and the fact of the feeling a cool breeze Lets you know you are truly nude. And to us there is no better feeling than being nude outdoors.

[FireProf]

Could it be that those that are shaved are not only brave enough to shave and stand the constant ridicule, innuendo and labeling are JUST a bit braver at posting their picture for an avatar? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/annoyed.gif

[NakedGary]

I'm not shaved in my avatar or this image, just trim short with an electric shaver.

[fre2bnude]

I don't shave, if I turned around you'd see. I don't bother trimming either.

By the way, good for you Gary - and you've got a foreskin!

[Sauna]

I,m not in my avatar and I'm not shved either. It is a personal choice. They say some love mother some daughter. Who cares?

I agree with you - it's too uncomfortable - but I, like you, would need to turn round to prove it. Tried shaving that area once and it was mighty itchy.

[Silverback]

Too much to shave, besides I like what hair I have left!

[tinner666]

I would shave more often it I didn't have so much. I don't even comb my hair. Shaving is a chore, but it's Hygenic, and less sweaty, and less odorous. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif
It's the way to go if you can make or have the time to take care of yourself.
I'm all for it. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

And it has NO gay or other conotation to it.

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cool4.gif
I use to keep it shaved all the time, as well as much of my body. It just got tiresome and I didn't seem to have the time.

Besides, like Silverback, I need to keep all the hair I can.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Hard to see the hair on my avatar as I am blonde but since photo was taken I am now a smoothie

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Wow! Didn"t realize it would be so large!! Gary is there anyway of reducing size or should i delete it?

I have deleted the HUGE photo it was about the size of a 6 story building and nobody needs to be subjected to that!!! Suffice to say I am not shaven in my avatar and if you don't believe me use a magnifying glass!!!! lol

edit: Now you've deleted your 6-storey photo, my reply makes no sense! But I agree that your left foot did look unfeasibly big...

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Glad it was my left foot that caught your attention!

Followed your simple(?) instructions, tiger and have reposted photo in question.

[tiger79]

Much better!

It is not a sign of a positive self image to recommend people use a magnifying glass to see anything in a man's pubic area

Yes I am because I know you have a big sense of humor. (By the way I don't need a magnifying glass to know that.)

I was away most of the morning. Your pictures size is fine in your 11:21 AM post.

It becomes a problem when they are larger or wider than the page width where everyone has to use scroll bars to see the full width or height of the picture.

As posted previously in the forums this link to a free download for an image viewer and resize program called IRfanView. Doug Pasco also in this listed posted an on line picture resize page.

Link to: Free Image Viewer/resize and Online picture resize page (http://clothesfreeforums.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3400016152/m/8420041754?r=4620054754#4620054754)

Do you still want to change the size or leave it like it is?
.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Gary, Thanks I have already changed it thanks to some advice from tiger. When I first posted the photo it was huge and you had to scroll down to see it all. _ I described it as like a 6 story building. Of course all parts were big and tiger jokingly saw it and refered to my big left foot an obvious reference to another appendage.

Now I know how to make my photo smaller using
Adobe which I have had for years on my computer but never learned how to use it to reduce size til now.

[Big-Thinker]

Although I've changed my avatar for now, my old one showed me with nothing shaved other than my face (which is all I ever shave or trim). I guess I'm an all-natural hippie from the neck down :-)

[fre2bnude]

I don't even shave my face, so I suppose that I'm an all natural hippie all the way down, not that I have a lot of body hair, but what I have I leave alone.

[Alida]

I'm not shaved in my avatar....
I don't shave me....

[dan t]

I am not in mine.

[NakedGary]

I have never shaved, just trim.

[Lilwilly]

I have never been shaved, just well trimmed. You can't tell from my avitar though. I looked up my previous avitar, a full frontal, and even there it was not clear whether I shaved or not.

[dancin\'bare]

I just trim.

[NudistGuy47]

As seen in my avatar, I am neither shaved nor trimmed. In the words of G W Bush I: "Never have, never will."

[barebum]

I am not totally shaved either!

[nakedjohn]

I am not either, do not know where they get it from.

[Nudeinbama]

Just rimmed here too,though covered up.

[Terrace Casual]

Never tried shaving and I, personally, don't want to. All a personal preference really

[nacktman]

I'm with Zorro, here.
Never even noticed anyone's avatar shaven or not.
Now that it has been brought to my attention I still can't say I've noticed any avatar as being shaven or not.
Guess, I'll just have to be more observant. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif

I'm sure you can notice I'm not shaved without looking too closely!! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/beam.gif

[HokkaidoRob]

Not totally shaved but it's pretty clear that the trimmed look seems to be 'in' among the naturist crowd. At least among a large percentage of the community.

[MoCpl]

I don't think from our avatar anyone could tell if we are shaved or not. I believe at the time we both were, but really don't remember.

[K and C]

I really dont see where this matters... To each his own.

[Dick Springer]

I never shave (beard or anything else), nor does my wife. Being nude with body hair is natural, as in naturism.

[shaneone]

Can you tell anything from mine?! LOL

[WacoTX]

Look close. I'm not shaved.

[hairyhomer]

Hair! Hair! Hair!

HairyHomer http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cool4.gif

[gymnoboi]

its because a lot of nudist shave now days. I do and would hate to go back to having hair all the time this looks and feels so much better

[Shavedinohio]

I am shaved and prefer it that way. We are seeing more and more nudists that shave. Glad to see that the interest is growing.

[nakedbear]

trim some - but shaving - no way

[Enjoying life]

Not all, I have no intentions of shaving.

[BRISnude]

Trim some but not shaved also ... that's the way I like it. Although it is a bit long right now

[RCH44]

I shave about every three weeks. I feel clean and it's only itchy the first two days. Yes I guess you can call me an exhibitionist.

Are smoothies more exhibitionist?

I used to shave but it became a small chore and I hate chores no matter how small. haha

[cacoolguy]

I don't shave. Shaving my facial hair enough of a headache for me. Other that shving my facial hair, I am as God made me.

[chris345]

Hey as you can tell in my avatar pic that i am not shaved although i do usually trim and sometimes shave, it just so happened that i wasn't at the time of the pic.

[Mosquito_Bait]

I have never understood the appeal of shaving for men. It seems like a lot of work and the results sometimes look like a rubber chicken. If you do choose to shave, I recommend that you shave everything. It looks odd to have a hairy chest and legs but no pubic hair.

[Zorro]

My sentiments exactly. That's why I don't shave...

[happyaloneo5]

Is this a ISSUE? I think we all have our own preference, althoug I won't do it. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/idea3.gif

[danny108]

hairy young nudist here - have no desire to shave off my body hair

[Fuzzy Nuts]

But just wait until your girlfriend decides to change your mind.

[Arnabas]

I tried once, but my wife laughed. The pattern of hair growth for me gives the false impression of some slight muscle definition (edit: Not that you can tell that from my pic...), so I think it's got to stay. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[Flanudedude]

I have never shaved. I like the natural look.

Is this related to the other topic "feminization of men"? Seems to me that teaching men to eschew our manly hair is feminizing men.

Your mileage may vary.

[Tyco]

I don't shave either.

[Duneman]

To be honest it's not something I really notice after all these years!

Anyway for the record I am also another hairy critter.....

[nakedjohn]

I do not have my picture up, yet, but I am shaved and love it.

[gymnoboi]

its prolly cause a huge percentage of nudists are smoothies
