Haven't these folks ever heard of after shave?
It's intended to be a cushion against friction and skin abrasion? Yeah, I'll take those risks in order to not get some clogged in my throat, have the coarse hair scrape against and irritate my skin, have the odor which body hair naturally holds in, and have the disgusting aesthetic value to go along with it.
Oh, and body hair is a fertile ground for bacteria and other germs (pubic lice, anyone?) to party.
