Particularly since European women through most of time kept their body hair, and in fact in several pieces I have read on the subject, this was found sexually appealing by their men. I'd love to see more exploration of this, although I suspect the main reason is that body hair is probably harder to paint!Carynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-23341502581275477892011-04-23T22:31:19.590-04:002011-04-23T22:31:19.590-04:00thank you for this!

All I have to say is thank goodness for razors - no shell, sharpened stones, or wax jobs for me!<BR/><BR/>While researching one of my own books, I discovered it was Alexander the Great who first ordered his soldiers to cut their beards so that their opponents in battle won't have anything to grab onto. I used that tidbit in one of my books, when my heroine was trying to convince my Druid hero to shave his beard! He considered shaving a sign of weakness. <BR/><BR/>Guess who won the argument?<BR/><BR/>Joy Nash<BR/><BR/>www.joynash.com <BR/>DEEP MAGIC: Druids of Avalon #2 Jan 08 Gwendolyn risks forbidden magic and forbidden love in her quest to forge a magical sword in Avalon's defense.Joy Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171439765000635183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-2375134586810914392008-03-11T16:41:00.000-04:002008-03-11T16:41:00.000-04:00Oww!!
