I bet it would be more appropriate here.
Am female, and single. No man has ever dictated to me what I do, or don’t do, with my bodily hair, despite their best efforts to ‘persuade’ me. Have you any idea how painful waxing is?!?!
I suggested a preference, she went with my suggestion. It was magical; like we were both wizards.
Female here. The only time my husband says anything is if I really let things go. He starts talking about how I should braid it and stuff, and I generally take the hint. Otherwise, I’m pretty much on my own!
F here. Keep it trimmed ultra-short at a bare (ha!) minimum, and occasionally shave or wax it all off. He likes it that way, and so do I - sensitivity + hot climate, yanno? He keeps his shaved all the way off, too, for pretty much the same reasons.
Waxing hurts, but only briefly, and the long-term results are totally worth it, for me.
No one has ever said anything to me, which is good because the few times I went bare I had horrible, horrible allergic reactions. I need the hair. And nobody minds.
If a significant other ever expressed a strong desire about that area one way or another, I’d take it into consideration. None ever has, though.
I’m a female of the species. I also must be getting old, because if my fella asked me to landscape to his desired topiary desires I’d kick him to the curb. With my un-used Black and Decker hedge-trimmer up his hairy butt. It’s my twat, not Busch gardens!
But that’s just me.
I’m a gay guy here, and I don’t trim or shave down there (anymore). My boyfriend actually LIKES it that way, which is why I quit shaving/trimming. He goes the same way.
I guess we’re living in the 70’s!

I live in the desert. I trim my bush due to the heat and sweat. I also shave my legs and underarms. The one and only time I asked my sweetie about it, he said that he loved me, but would shave me if I wanted him to do it. He then branished a straight razor.
The conversation stopped at that point. My sweetie is allowed to rub lotion over my self shaved and trimmed body.
Let’s see… I generally don’t shave my legs unless I’m wearing a skirt, but I keep the girly bits trimmed and the pits shaved. My previous boyfriend insisted on me keeping my legs shaved as well, so I did that whenever we were getting together. Once or twice he wanted the girly bits bald. But that was an unusual relationship (well, not for me, but for the average person.)
My current boyfriend doesn’t seem to care. I wish he would shave because it makes oral a lot more comfortable. I don’t know if he will before we get together or not and I won’t insist on it. If I was more vanilla I probably would.
As with most things in a relationship, preferences and requests are noted a weighed, but the final decision is mine.
This.
My husband has helped me wax before and I have gone fully shaved but I couldn’t find a cure for the ingrown hairs or get over the itching as it grew back in. So, he may like it bare but it’s just not happening.
My husband grew up with '70’s porn and has a preference for au naturel, which suits me just fine. A little grooming is generally all that I bother with - more than that and he’ll say something about “trimming the verge” in his best Gandalf voice.
I actually have a lot of say in his facial hair - keep it and let it grow as wild as you want, which fortunately suits him just fine too.
Best sequential thread ever: this thread + “Can I mow my lawn?”
Saw that too. Glad I’m not the only one who chuckled.
My boyfriend makes suggestions, and I’ll go along with them. Ultimately he can’t force me to do anything I don’t want to, but I’m okay with suggestions.
