Well I am ONE hairy man beast. Hair on my back, all over my chest and stomach, legs. I started shaving my face the summer before I began the eigth grade. All the males of my dad’s family are also hairy as well. My dad was mainly of english decent with a little native american (his mother was 1/2 — but males get their Y chromsome from the dad and hence their male traits) and my mom is of irish descent. I am also pretty strong with a natually big chest and wide shoudlers. And I am here on a PE board. :)
It might play a role, especially in modern times where we have many chemicals in our environment and foods that act like estrogens. I am sure that hormone receptors play a role also, as well as nurition during puberty. Body fat levels def. play a role IMHO. Look at most of the porn stars — they are usually skinny guys with a little build.
