Could Shaving Body hair and hair loss be connected

What do you all think. Ive read that DHT aids hair growth on hair other that the top of your head. If this was true and you were to shave your arms say, dont you think your body would respond by having to create more DHT to accomodate the regrowth of that hair.

People and their absurd theories.

EXPOSED HAIR IS DEAD PEOPLE! If you can see it, it done already growed!

Your body doesn't know that the hair was cut. Each follicle runs on a sort of internal clock that goes through a growth and shed phase. Once a hair follicle decides that it wants to go into a new Anagen phase, it sheds the hair that was initially inside and begins to grow a new one. That's why your body hair seems to stay one length. It only grows that far before it stops growing and falls out. You could shave your nutsack 3 times a day for the rest of your life and your body would never know the difference.

Except for an insanely calloused nutsack.

Is that what happened to your nutsack Stingray?

My nutsack is happily supple and fuzzy thanks.

I only take a pair clippers to it occasionally, and then spend the next 10 minutes apologizing profusely to it.

Some how this wrap sounds familiar.
