The latest trends in body grooming?

[Camfer]

Fifteen or twenty years back using trimmers was hardly heard of. What do you guys think caused the trend?

The desire to fit in with cultural norms as determined by mass media, combined with corporations needing to develop new markets for "beauty" products to expand their profits, by turning men into women by targeting men with advertising to buy cosmetics, hair products, fashion underwear, fragrances, etc. Manufactured desire to generate corporate profits.

In the 1970s, all you needed to fit in as a gay man was a plain white t-shirt and a stiff pair of Levi's 501s. It's so much more expensive to fit in now.
