Ok I know this is probably the stupidest question ever appeared
on the board, but this has been bugging me for years,
now I've decided to ask lol

I'm 34, caucasian, I have NO body hair pretty much at all, I never had it
the lil that I have is on my legs, pubes, and just a "fuzz" on my forearms
but we're talking VERY lil. I don't even have beard! If i let it grow I have
just a shadow of a goatee..
Hair is all there and thick

My entire body is completely hair free otherwise, not even my lower stomach,
(have ONE hair there that I literally pluck once a month!)

Does that has anything to do with test/test levels? Estro? Am I crazy?
 
I did a quick search on it and found some sites that said that you could have low test. Let me tell you though... I'm a hairy bastard and wish I didn't have it lol

But the way to check it and know for sure is to get blood work done. There's a sticky in the Anabolic forum for how to get blood work for $50 if your insurance won't cover it.
 
Kind of....

More likely low DHT levels.....

I'll send you some of mine!

Hair that is....not DHT!
 
pretty sure it has mostly to do with androgen receptors & hormones.

it's going to go a lot deaper than low active dht/test.

Lol i'm not complaining about the lack of hair really, actually it's nice not to have to shave my chest and such but still..
I've never seen any male human being with such lil hair in my life.. It's well, weird.

I mean I've never had any testosterone related issues in my life, but lately I was thinking about
getting my level tested because of age and since I've never done it before
I started to wonder (lol soon enough) if my levels were ever normal..

This^^^
it doesn't necessarily mean any of your hormones are low you could genetically just have less receptors around there.
 
Dude, I'm one hairy ass mofo and I hate it... I trim my chest hair but the days after the trim it looks pretty ridiculous as they are all popping out... and I don't like shaving my chest as I feel it looks too fake.

Just recently purchased a back trimmer, loving that thing, for the first time I was able to shave my back in a timely fashion and didn't have to take ****ing hours trying to reach the middle and whatnot. LOVE this. Best purchase ever.

Please pm me the link to this lol. Is it possible to also do the head and other parts of your body? Lol
 
Actually we are both correct.

Compliments of Wikipedia- yo....
In men, approximately 5% of testosterone undergoes 5α-reduction to form the more potent androgen, dihydrotestosterone. DHT has approximately three times greater affinity for androgen receptors than testosterone and has 15-30 times greater affinity than adrenal androgens. During embryogenesis DHT has an essential role in the formation of the male external genitalia, while in the adult DHT acts as the primary androgen in the prostate and in hair follicles.

This is why at the pool when I see those dudes walking around with bath-mats on their backs they usually have thinning hair on their head or are darn near bald.

It could be an issue with a lack of androgen receptors on the hair follicles, or a lack of DHT...or both.

Do you have a thick head of hair that the ladies love to run their fingers through? If so, maybe it is low DHT.

I grow a full beard in a few days. If I don't shave/trim regularly, I scare Chewbacca.

Send me your shipping info and I'll start sending you some hair, bro.

You seriously need to stop sending me your back hair clippings. I asked you "how's it going back there" NOT "how's it going back hair!" Honest banter not a hair joke. Let it go, sheesh!
