Get Your Sex Traits Strait--Beards & Skirts

The prevalence of goatees on the men of my generation sent me around the internet hoping to find a nice chart of the history of men's facial hair trends. While that search failed, I did find this book, One Thousand Beards: A Cultural History of Facial Hair and I'll be darned if our library doesn't have a copy!

Yes, facial hair, like many male things, both attracts and repulses me, but at least I'm not this person:

Reviewer: thepeskyangel (see more about me) from Nottingham, UK
I, for one, find body hair of any description totally abhorrent, so I found this book one of the most difficult and challenging reads of my life. Peterkin's description of hair follicles, for example, borders, at times, on the pornographic.
I had to skip the chapter where he waxes lyrical about the curl-to-density ratio of pubic hair because I became too nauseous to carry on reading.

Did perversity drive the pesky angel to read the book in the first place, or some misguided attempt at aversion therapy?
