I have hairy arms so I shave them. My boyfriend thinks that’s going too far, but why is it? Just because shaving legs is more common and therefore more acceptable, doesn’t really make it any different from arm shaving.. I mean, shaving is shaving, am I right?

Hey Jane,
Well, the obvious reason not to shave your arms is that the hair grows back thicker and courser, therefore turning into a vicious circle and leaving you in danger of turning into a werewolf. I think it’s become the social norm for a girl to shave or wax their legs but hair on the arms is deemed more acceptable for some reason. I guess the point is, if you start doing your arms too… where is it going to stop? Before you know it you’ll be getting the fine hair on your face done, your back, your toes?
I mean… if your boyfriend sees it as going too far then he clearly just likes you how you are, so maybe that’s the best thing to take out of this. The hair on your arms is just another part of you that he likes. That sounds pretty cool to me. Maybe you should just enjoy him enjoying you.
Cheers,
