back on topic - I must confess that I don't subscribe to GQ so I don't know the latest trends i.e. "the new hot look in L.A." and nobody has yet to ask this question . . I don't think.
I don't think you need to subscribe to GQ to learn about the "metrosexual"

You might want to subscribe to GQ to learn about "the finer things in life":dunno:
I do agree with you that there are too many bald guys in porn when I don't think they are follically-challenged at all. So, why the bald look? Does it make men look younger?:dunno:
There are many instances where men shave their body hair. If they work at a manufacturing facility, they might have to clean their bodies or if they wear protective suits, getting rid of hair might make it "smell fresh" for them. DOctors shave their arms.
Athletes like swimmers, bikers, weightlifters all do it, some for performance reasons others because they want to see their muscles better.
I think women are attracted to men who take care of themselves basically. "Manscaping" and working out seriously tell a chick that this guy cares about his body and probably has the stamina to give her a long, hard pounding in the sack...:dunno:
Removing male pubic hair certainly makes the cock look bigger...
