A simple HT SE question

I am 10 months into HT and I don't think I have lost any pubic hair, may have thinned out a bit.

On the other hand the hair on my head has definitely thickened up and even covered a small bald spot on the crown.

My wife cuts my hair and says the difference is very noticable.

I had an EKG the other day. I lay back on the table, the nurse stuck cool sticky pads here and there on my chest and abdomen, the machine ran for about 90 seconds, she pulled the pads off, thip-thip-thip. and I was done. That is a far cry from my pre-HT experience with such things.

I am... or I was... or I am danmit... a very furry man when not under the effects of HT. EKG technicians used to go at me with a weed whacker -- shaving bits of chest here and there -- and the danmable little pads still fell off whenever they tried to turn on the machine. Once they did get a tape they would wince with every pad they ripped out of my fur -- sorry... sorry... sorry, they would say "I know that must hurt."

Two years of HT has left me with very little body hair. I look like a boiled chicken. My head has gone from mostly bald with a bit of a fringe, to a full head of useless cancer-fluff. My beard is softer are grows s-l-o-w--l---y. I shave once, maybe twice a week when I think about it.

As for pubic hair, I think I still have some but nobody cares.

But to your concerns: the changes in your hairiness with HT are not particularly efeminizing in themselves. You will just look like a guy without much body hair. You get to keep your beard or mustache, if you wear them, they will just grow more slowly and the ladies may comment that they are softer. If you are bald you may regrow some hair. That is the most likely part for your friends to notice.

I can attest to the fact that my hubby's head of hair is thicker and curlier that pre-ADT. Haven't
noticed any body hair loss...mustache is still as awesome as ever and he never had much chest hair.

Three years on Lupron for me, started first intermittent cycle 5 weeks ago.
Yes, there is quite a loss of body hair (none left in underarm area, chest quite bare, arms & legs left with soft, fine hairs only). But the most interesting thing with the hair loss is that pubic hair, which is in a diamond shape for men, pointing to the navel, takes on the female triangular shape (think bikini). I read this in one of my reference books, and darned if it ain't true for me!

One evening I had and itch under my armpit and when I went to scratch, nothing. Went to the bathroom and pulled off my tee shirt, looked in the mirror and saw that I lost most of my body hair on my upper torso. Facial hair seems to grow very slow but the hair on my head seems thicker. As for the lower half of my body, it seems less dense but definitely not noticeable.

I stopped losing hair on my head. I lost all chest and back hair. After 8 years I can finally grow a beard again but don't as it is almost Snow White now. I grew it out for elk season but shaved upon my return. I still have no hair on my chest or back. I use to be Mandy's toddybear. No I am like fuzzy wuzzy. Toddy wasn't very fuzzy was he. 😄

Lost all body hair, significant thinning in pubic area, shave every third day and, dang it, did not stop my balding at all.
