Results of Body Hair Attitudes Survey

 

This survey was conducted online for a period of a week. 

70% of the respondents to the survey identified as women, 25% identified as men, and 5% identified as other.

The survey consisted of five questions. A summary of the responses is recorded below. 

1.  Do you remove hair from any body parts other than your face?

     Yes, usually - 70%

     Not unless my partner requests it - 5%

     Only before a first date - 5%

     I used to but don’t anymore - 15%

     Never - 5%

2.  Do you remove your pubic hair?

     Yes, usually - 70%

     Only before a first date - 5%

     Only if my partner requests it - 10%

     I used to, but don’t anymore - 10%

     Never - 5%

3.  If your partner has visible body hair someplace other than their face, does that affect your decision to date them?

     Yes - 20%

     No - 80%

4.  If your partner has visible body hair someplace other than their face, does that affect your decision to have sex with them?

     Yes - 20%

     No -  80%

5.  What is your gender? 

     Male - 25%

     Female - 70%

     Other - 5%

The first interesting thing to me is that 70% of people are removing their pubic hair, even though only 20% of people say it matters to them if their partner has it. I wondered if that 70% reflected only females, since 70% of respondents were female, but of those who answered “Yes, usually” to the question of do you remove your pubic hair, 29% were male, 7% were other, and 64% were female. 

The only truly disturbing thing for me was that 20% of people allow visible body hair to be a deciding factor in whether they date someone. We really are a vain bunch.
