Actually I like just clean shaven because it's clean shaven. Not because it looks younger. In fact, I have a distain for barely legal porn.

cleanly shaven because food stuck in a beard is gross, and stubble makes kissing painful.
I think people shave because it's a social norm at this point.
Yes, certainly there are practical, hygienic reasons for shaving. But I'm not particularly interested in why we shave, I'm more concerned with why being shaved is
more attractive, generally, than a beard or unshaven face, given that up until recently (maybe last 2000 years or so but I'm not a historian so that's just a guess) it wasn't even possible to shave. Even in ancient Greece, a civilization about 2000 years old, facial hair in sculpture was used as an age indicator. Statues without it are supposed to represent young men, and statues with it are supposed to represent old men. Facial hair has been used as an age indicator for probably as long as humans have been around. But for some reason, modern culture has promoted the idea that the facial hair (or lack of it) of a prepubescent is more attractive than the facial hair of an adult. That's all.
What if I said I think chicks who look 14 are hot, but I'm not interested in 14 year olds?
Whatever helps you sleep at night :p. Age is just a number. If you're attracted to 14 year olds (or girls who look like they are) but don't want to pursue that kind of relationship, that's all up to you (and it's probably a good idea not to, IMO). But when you break it down, you're attracted to minors, even if you tell yourself that the actor is really 18.
Teenage girls used to be middle-aged when we only lived into our 30s, so it is likely the instinct of attraction to teens is still heavily with us. If they are capable of having babies, it should not be surprising that many men (probably far more than would admit it) are physically attracted to them.
Considering the dumbing down of America via the government school system it's amazing that adults would want to spend any time whatsoever with American teenagers. If teenagers weren't so mentally childlike, perhaps the social stigma attached to attraction to them would not exist.
In former times it was usual to marry as early as possible. And in Islamic countries this is still the fact. And if you ask me: a girl of 15 or 16 might be not in all cases a women mentally but biological usually. And that's what matters to nature. So it's not the age group of girls I would intentionally prefere, but for example 2 weeks ago I had a date with a 16 yo girl but I didn't know that. And damn she looked like 18/19. But the laws aren't that strict here in GER about sexual relations I think. That's the only advantage of the leftist revolt in the late 60s. If there's a 14 yo girl the law says that a sexual relationship to a adult person is legal "if the girl has the ability of sexual self-determination". If the girl is 16 yo or above there's no restriction. Same regulations apply to boys of course.
Yup. I think teens in general are kind of dumb an annoying (after all, their only previous life experience is being a child, so what can you expect?) without regard to their schooling. And I'm certain, beyond any reasonable doubt, that men are wired to start being attracted to any female post-puberty, regardless of age: Nature doesn't keep track of numbers.
Why shave? Cause hair is itchy. Also, "hair down there" on females is just gross. If I was turned on by "natural" hair, I'd jack off to pictures of ZZ Top. Now that we have the means to get rid of hair why not do it? I like looking at a vagina more than I do staring at a mound of furry, smelly cunt hair. What are we arguing here anyway? Are you saying natural is better based on the fact that its natural or that its more efficient or what?
Why is it gross? Think about it. I believe you when you say that you feel that it is, no doubt, a lot of guys are that way. But my question is deeper: WHY is it gross? We have hair on our heads, we have hair on our backs, asses, most of our bodies. Yet, for you anyway, having crotch hair is gross, even though in the wild the only females you'd see without it would be children. Also, as an aside, you must sleep with dirty women, because the smell of a furburger has never been bad enough to turn me off.
I'm not trying to say natural is better, those are subjective terms that can't be proven one way or another. I'm simply pointing out that a great deal of what's considered attractive in modern society are THE EXACT THINGS that separate mature adults from children, and that people seem to prefer those aspects to be child-like instead of the adult version.
All: I'm definitely not trying to come across as morally righteous. I'll readily admit that when I'm at the beach watching girls I don't really care if they're 15 or 35 as long as they're pleasant on the eyes. My point is that while most people (maybe not most of the people here, but in general) will swear that they have no pedophiliac tendancies, yet they surround themselves with sexual imagery that, to the primitive mind, is that of a child.
