I'm an old guy with a long romantic career. When I had this conversation it was about shaving her legs. I understand some young people these days expect full Brazillian, or at least a tidy trim. I suspect this figures into the current segregation of the sexes.

One first-date purposely did not shave her legs as a disincentive for intimacy, I wouldn't have minded, but she felt embarrassed over one day's growth. We were chaste that night, but had a second date.

Different partners trimmed or shaved completely (some brave women waxed) and I was delighted in all cases. In LTRs, sometimes shaving resulted consistently in ingrown hairs, in which case I insisted please don't do so on my behalf.

But then, I was a kid in the 1970s and society was getting accustomed to the idea of being our natural selves, body hair, (armpit hair,) and all. It stemmed, I think, from the hippy movement. It was very live and let live.

But of course, for the glamour and cosmetics industry, that just wouldn't do.

Once every 1-2 months I take no-guard clippers to it and get everything off but not shaved enough to cause ingrowns. It stays neat for 4-6 weeks then returns to wild bush. Every single time I do it it's an hour long ordeal but it always feels so nice at the end and I'm like holy shit why didn't I do this a 1-2 weeks ago??? The airflow + not getting gunk in it is 100% worth the hours' work every time.

if i dont shave i itch like hell

If you shave completely, it ends up looking like a battlefield down there. If you trim it nicely, it makes your junk look bigger. Use the same techniques as applying makeup.

I absolutely wouldn't eat candy with pubic hair on it.

But I'm a massive hypocrite when it comes to sex.

Hair prevents skin from blocking your nose. It’s basically PPE.

Ok, but how do you feel about Jolly Ranchers?

Waxed or trimmed. Shaved is too rough unless you literally just shaved.

some of us miss the wild beavers

That’s how I floss.

And after workout pussy is the best it’s nice and musky.
