How much did your back hair increase on T?

[Sharky]

Just wondering, only thing I'm not looking forward to is getting more back hair.

More back hair? (sorry, don't mean to offend, just wondering how much back hair one could have pre-T, I've never seen it on a woman, really only see it on the hairiest of hairy men)

Like with all effects of T, body hair growth is heavily dependent on genetics. If the men in your family have lots of back hair, chances are you will too. If they don't, you probably won't. But if you already have it pre-T...well, it's not going to go away, that's for sure. Thickening of existing body hair is one of the first changes I've noticed.

LOL yeah more. I'm not offended at all, it would take a lot more than that to bother me. Anyways, I've always been hairy. I was looking at old photos the other day. I even had hairy arms and legs at 6.
I don't really know any of the men I'm related to except my grandfather and he never struck me as very hairy. I know I have more leg hair than him. Most of his arm hair has been rubbed off from his sleeves or something. The women in my family are almost completely hairless naturally. I guess I take after my father in the hair department, but I've never seen him, or anyone related to him, so I can only guess.

Heres my back now.

Oh. Yeah, you're almost certain to get more (or at least, what you have will thicken and get coarser).

Waxing is an option. Wax enough, and the roots will be damaged and it'll come back thinner. Luckily, the back is one of the least painful places to wax because there are so few nerve endings in the skin. Electrolysis is also a possibility.

I have some too.  I'm pre-T and a hairy up most of my front and about halfway up the back.  Some people have higher levels of testosterone naturally.

Ah. Maybe I just hadn't noticed because girls' torsos are usually covered? Still though, serious back hair seems to be pretty uncommon in men...or maybe they just keep their shirts on too?

I was at a hot springs a year or so ago and noticed a guy who was almost solid hair.  He had a stripe shaved between where the collar of his shirt would be and his beard.  I kinda feel like that's what I'm going to end up as on T.

I have PCOS, so I do have higher T levels naturally. I can't even pull a band aid off. I guess If I hate it I will have to get it lasered along with my tattoo. I think in order for a girl to have much back hair she would have to have a hormonal imbalance. Men don't seem too hairy in general anymore, being hairless is the style now.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat Sharky.  In the end, I don't think it's that big of an issue for guys unless you turn into the wolf man.

Honestly, I wasn't very hairy before I began T and now I have hair in places I didn't even know it was humanly possible to grow hair haha...and unfortunately, one of those places is my back. :-/ I hate it but I cope, I shave it as often as I comfortably can. But in retrospect, IMO, I would rather be too hairy than have no hair at all. I love being a hairy guy, it just solidifies my masculinity. I have bio male friends who would kill to grow hair of any kind, so I actually feel quite thankful. Your back hair will probably increase but it really isn't a big deal, just bust out the razor and some shaving cream or try the man-groomer lol it's a super long electric razor that is meant for the troublesome hair on a mans back. I wish you luck..don't worry too much!

I think I would be lucky to even have any gap. Already my back hair runs into my neck hair, that runs into the hair on my head. Not to mention I managed to get hairy while taking birth control. On it since I was 15 up to 21. So if this is how hairy I am while taking estrogen I will be werewolf on T. I honestly think I may have a bit of Hypertrichosis "Human Werewolf Syndrome." I got hair on my ear lobes, a little fine hair on my nose, and finer hairs that connect my eyebrows to my hair line. My eyelashes are just ridiculous.
