Men With Long Hair

I just love a man with long beautiful hair. My boyfriend has shoulder length hair and he luvs for me to brush it out and play with it. He has mentioned about getting it cut but I have convinced him to wear it long for the summer. Does anybody else enjoy seeing men with long hair?

Thank you Sheri!! Now here's a subject of some real interest! No surprise that my vote is for long, long, long. There's something utterly intoxicating about those little curls at the neckline just behind the ear, the complete and unmitigated virility of long hair. Makes me weak in the knees just to think about it. Don't even get me started on beards and that to die for place where the sideburns start!! Yeow! I'm especially fond of that moment when the ponytail tie comes off and the hair is released from its restraint just for my benefit, the juxtaposed contradiction of such enveloping softness next to the rock steady bulk of a good sturdy man. Long is my pick, and not that just brushing the collar stuff either, I mean long!My favorite treatise on the subject was discussed on Victor Engels longhair list a few months ago, an intensive study of hair throughout human history and the proposal that socially mandated shearing of the hair on head and face represents the emasculation and subjugation of the male ego, an easily recognizable outward symbol of a willingness to submit, conform, be dominated by arbitrary regulation, and that current societal taboos regarding having long hair are a means of establishing such control as acceptable, necessary, desirable. Such was not always the case though and there were plenty of historic times when hair on men was not only acceptable but encouraged as a symbol of masculinity, particularly beards. Food for thought!For my tastes give me a long tressed fully bearded Samson kind of guy any day!Thanks for the lighthearted interlude!Very best wishes to all,Dawn> I just love a man with long beautiful hair.

Dawn,Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That was a real encouragement! I must share that after reading the post by Jerky Flea that 90% of people are against long hair on men I was ready to go out and cut my hair (well, NOT really! :-) But after your kind words it is gratifying to know there are some who appreciate it, and I'm sure you are not the only one! I don't have the beard with my long hair, but I do have a moustache. Is that okay?Now if you could just convince my wife ... her preference is more like Jena's ... then I'd be really happy!Thanks again! and when you see some of those guys with long hair let them know you appreciate it!Kent

> there were plenty of historic times when hair on men> was not only acceptable but encouraged as a symbol of> masculinity, particularly beardsDon't forget the Merovingian Frankish dynasty in the Middle Ages. During that time, long hair on a man was his symbol of power and authority. I remember reading some stuff where men were castigated and outcast for NOT having long hair. In fact, the king's divine right to rule was seen as coming only if he had long flowing hair!Dawn, perhaps you lived in that time period in another life!Zorak

WOW. Does he have a twin? I mean he sounds so studly, burly and irresistable. I know I certainly wouldn't be able to conceal my physical attraction if I was fortunate enough to regularly groom, stroke and massage oils through those lucious, plump locks you described. I think a mature growth of robust dreadlocks are so intoxicating because all the coiled, snarled, gnarled, knatty tightly wound ringlets remind me of pubic hair on public display. I guess that's why I have always loved a good beard as well. And your hunky boyfriend has both. Some people have all the luck. Guard him well from people like me!As for dreading his beard, the thought is totally awesome. I can't help you on that one, but check out some of the Dreadlock sites on the web.> Loved your posting.
