Abstract

Some believe that men with chest hair are sexy and more attractive to the opposite sex. Others consider chest hair a nuisance and dislike the ape look. Caucasians, Indians, and people from the Middle East very often have an abundance of chest hair, and many want to have it removed. In contrast, the majority of Orientals do not have chest hair, and some may desire chest hair transplantation to enhance their sexual appeal.
