But Vulcans must have facial hair. Spock grew a goatee in the MU. I guess they just depilate obsessively.

And Soval had a goatee in the MU.

Obsessively... Mh :doubt: Maybe not.
But surely they do it.
Why?
Emotion? :lol:
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Slightly off-topic....At university, my friend and I developed huge crushes on this one guy... because we really liked his trousers! Being a student, and slightly rough-around-the-edges, he'd often turn up at the local pub in this one pair of corduroy flares (they'd just made a come-back). I thought he was the hottest thing I'd ever seen.

I eventually asked him out for a drink...but when he showed up (in a new pair of jeans) I had to do a double-take. He was a complete minger! I guess I'd never gotten that far up before.

It was like Samson cutting off all his hair and losing his strength.

This of course happened in my more shallow days. I'm far more mature now :happyjump:

I honestly don't see how being hung like an ape is, in any way, innately more attractive. Bits are plain funny looking, no matter what. Besides, I've always gotten the general impression that Vulcans used a cat motiff, so I would go with kitty pecker. Which means it's retractable and backward!

But, but, I know... we're supposed to be discussing hair. So the real question is, do the drapes match? And do Vulcans use practical cuts? Using the cat motiff, maybe Vulcan men rarely sport facial hair because they're nervous groomers; you can always tell when one is bent out of shape because he or she has given themselves mange.

I'd guess they shave for the same reason we do. Hygiene and convenience.

I guess I never thought that.

I've always thought of T'Pol as being hairless, personally. :mrgreen: I've never really speculated as much about the men, but Spock seemed to have at least some body hair.

I always found Spock startlingly hairy. I can still remember being completely taken aback in that Nazi episode when I was a tender young girl of 13 or so...

This part, of course. *g*

And then says something about vulnerability in the midst of strength?

I believe that would be Apt Pupil (R rated, just in case).
