Worried about comments from non nudists!!
Return to DiscussionsI've always been totally smooth down to just above my knees, this way I can wear shorts when around clothed people, awkward keeping top on when really hot lol.
Well just before Christmas I done my legs as well so now smooth from neck too feet, I love the feeling and look and want to keep legs totally smooth as well, BUT this is the problem, I am known by a lot of people around where I live, and an worrying if my legs are smooth and wearing shorts they are going to comment and ask questions, I just don't know if I can take it.
I could keep legs smooth and wear jeans but I love shorts, I think I have got until mid April to decide, after that I've either got to let hair grow again so I can wear shorts or do I just say sod it and keep them smooth.
I am after a bit of advice and if anything messages to give me the confidence to just take the plunge and keep them smooth and deal with the comments and questions when they happen. It's only around people I know that I am concerned about.
What's your opinion and what would you say to them.

Looking at your photos you aren't all that hairy. I doubt anyone would notice. Even if they do they are unlikely to comment. Just be yourself and do as you want.
Anyhow, those who see you naked might comment on the (albeit small) difference between your shaved pubes/genitals and slightly hairy legs. I'm naturally very hairy. In the winter I let it grow on arms and legs for warmth whilst shaving my torso (chest bum tummy and intimate parts). Someone did comment once in a positive way. And it was only once, nobody else has commented.
I've been smooth since 1982. Like you I was concerned about what other nonnudist/textile (not sure why there is that distinction in this context)people might think. In all those years the only comment that was ever made was by my sister in-law who noticed my smooth legs during a Jimmy Buffett concert weekend and asked my wife "does he shave his legs?" she replied "he shaves all over".
I'm thinking people will do either of two things when or if they notice 1) they'll ask you about it, or 2) keep their thoughts to themselves. So just be ready with the response that best shares your attitude about. Anyone who would take the opportunity to demean is...well not worth your time or effort in reply.
Just my 2 cents.
It's actually funny that many of you are concerned about non nudists giving you grief for removing body hair. There are nudists on this very site and groups that have formed that equally give other nudists grief and call them names or suggest that they are unnatural because they choose to remove some or all of their body hair. Some nudists are the biggest hypocrites of all! ;D
Well I'm still keeping my whole body totally smooth, I just love the feel and look of having smooth legs, I am still concerned on what 'non-nude' friends will say when I'm wearing shorts lol, I think I'm going to keep smooth all over, and just wear long legs until I feel confident enough, (I'm getting better lol), and will just tell them that I prefer to be like this.
I go naturist spa and don't care, I've even had people say it looks good, when I get my all over tan I will look better,.
Thks for all your messages and comments as they have given me confidence and at the end of the day, what can they say??? Oh why are you legs smooth lol, or you must be gay to like being smooth all over lol.
I like it, my sister and niece who are staying with me at the moment (not nudists, so keep shorts on), say the same thing, it's up to me, I've even given niece tips on how to use Veet cream as she is smooth all over, (we talk openly, not nude in front of each other).
I will update later if anything changes
