I'm 19 and I have been thinking about shaving my arm, leg, and chest hair for a while. My brother and mother say it is not normal and gay and if I do it I will not be able to get near them until it grows back. I just want to get a third party opinion on this, because as much as I love my family I want to do this.
sounds like your family is a bunch of homophobic rednecks....it is called personal preference and some do it for hygeine reasons ...to feel cleaner. However, you should wax instead. Shaving causes razor irritation, ingrown hairs, doesn't last long, irritating/scratchy regrowth etc. Waxing leaves you smooth longer, less skin irritation, and the hair grows back finer and softer(not scratchy at all).

do what makes you happy...it doesn't make you gay ;)
they won't let you around them until your hair grows back?
why? Will it rub off on them or something?
Just take up body building if you're that worried. body builders always shave so that they can show off their muscle development.
What do you care if they don't like it? It's your body, lol. That's all I have to say.
Do what you want!
Your family is full of retards. You need to make a point of telling them that they need to stop believing in stupid stereotypes and to grow up
gay is when u have sexual feeling for members of the same sex. gay is not when u want to get rid of body hair. geez!
If it makes you feel better, I don't like guys overly hairy :)
It's probably not common, but I think it's normal.
It is normal to want to get ride of body hair...who wouldn't? It's understanable to be concerned about what your family thinks, but it's your body.
You should be able to shave your hair if you want to. And it's not gay, it's a pretty modern practice, but I feel like if you were gay, they still shouldn't avoid you.
My family said I was gay because I shaved off my body hair. I sat them down and told it to them straight. I'm not gay because I shave off my body hair, I'm gay because I like cock.
But seriously I don't like my body hair either. It's like puberty came and didn't know where to stop. I can already make a baby why give me all this fuzzy shit afterwards. I don't think it annoys me enough to really get rid of it.
If your family are going to stop talking too you over something as trifling as lack of body hair then they kinda sound like dicks.
Tell them you started swimming. Swimmers shave to cut down on water resistance and make themselves that little bit quicker.
I shave my body hair,I've never gotten complaints about it from ladies. The only ppl who say its gay are the ppl who wouldn't have sex with you either way. So do it it grows back rather fast.
My brother did this when he was 18 and got the same reaction. So did my boyfriends brother. So yeah it's normal that your family thinks its gay, but it's not.
They probably think but don't want to say directly that you don't need to shave to look good.
Don't be controlled by other people, family or not. It won't affect them so why do they worry?
Well lets say there are many things people see as gay still only a man likeing other men is gay...
You're 19 and your family is telling you whether you can shave or not? If you want to, then just do it.
My family tried to "hint" that I was gay, by asking me why did I want to cut my long hair to my neck.
