Back hair beware

A lack of oil spill evidence wasn't the only surprise during my recent beach vacation. I was also astounded to see a lack of unsightly body hair among men.

It's not just a Panama City Beach phenomenon. Well, at least according to this NY Times article, which says back hair removal continues to grow in popularity. An excerpt:

As hairless torsos have become the norm for male models and actors, below-the-neck hair removal has gone mainstream. The nascent category of body shavers has surpassed $10 million in annual sales, according to Nielsen data cited by Remington.

But many men who aspire to the polished trunks of the “Jersey Shore” men face a dilemma when it comes to their backs: they don’t want to undergo the expense of waxing or laser hair removal, but are embarrassed to ask others for assistance.

Fortunately, there are tons of new grooming devices to help you do the job, the article adds.

I found the NY Times piece via Jezebel, where the article sparked a very interesting discussion among online commenters. I'd like your input on one comment:

In my opinion, if a guy expects you to remove your leg, pubic, facial hair then he should be open to doing the same for you.

True or false?
