You may have heard of "Movember," an awareness campaign for prostate and testicular cancer that encourages men to not shave during the month of November.  And, evidently, many women want "Movember" to last all year long.

A recent survey conducted by mycelebrityfashion.co.uk has revealed that women think facial hair makes their men look " sexy" and "mature," even though many admitted they hated the look in the beginning.  According to the survey of 1,236 women, a quarter of women will be pleading their partners not to shave off their facial hair at the end of November when the "Movember" campaign ends. 

According to the "Movember" website, "Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives."  According to The National Cancer Institute, in 2012, 241,740 new cases of prostate cancer were reported, and 28, 170 deaths occured from prostate cancer.  



What do you think, ladies?  Do you think moustaches are "sexy?"
