Male 39, seen all points of the spectrum. My own preference is somewhere in the excluded middle between clean shorn and gorilla armpit (as debates on the topic seem to go).
The first time I had a partner shave herself completely clean, I was struck by the similarity between her bits and a Cornish game hen. The little raised shaving irritation bumps only added to the illusion.
Not that you aren’t free to have your own opinion, but this reminds me of something said by gay activist Dan Savage. He compared female genitals to “canned ham dropped from a great height.” Not his best moment.
Of course. The majority thereof, in fact. ETA correction: oops, you said “never”, not “ever”.

Hate it. Looks silly that way. And there’s something primordially erotic about that dark triangle. The absence of it really spoils the view. (As a consequence, women these days look much better if they keep their underwear on). Oh, and there’s visible stubble most of the time. All in all, it’s at least as sad a thing as if it had become fashionable for women to shave all their head hair and eyebrows off and cut off their eyelashes with tiny scissors.
And your wife’s not the least suspicious? Everyday??
Male, 47, and I am totally repulsed by shaven pubes. Shaving has ruined porn for me, it just looks stupid with no hair.
At this stage in my life I’m unlikely, barring a major change in circumstances, to have to deal with it in real life. Fortunately when I was sexually active shaving was still highly unusual.
ETA: Out of 60-ish sexual partners, none was fully shaved, a couple were trimmed short.
Your mom has lovely pubes, btw.
I am 38, and yes, it wildly varies amongst the ladies I have known well enough to discuss the topic. the younger, the more likely to be bald, or close to it. In addition, I have known quite a few libertines in my day who are poly or open swingers or whatever. That demographic, in my experience, is more likely to be shaved as well.
My ex kept things trimmed, and would go bald pretty regularly. My wife now does minimal shaving, and resent like hell any grooming suggestions from me.
I have my preferences, but they are academic, as what I want really doesn’t factor into things. After all, I am married. 
54 yo male never seen one waxed, shaved or trimmed. All have been full on bush. Of course haven’t seen any new ones in many years as my wife frowns on it. However all I have seen have been in women near my age or older.
I reckon if you fell in love with a woman who shaved, your opinion might evolve. I can’t say I ever had much of a preference one way or another, but now I’m a huge fan of the shaved privates of the woman I’m sharing my life with.
Rachell, I do believe he meant a plucked Cornish game hen, but I could be wrong.
As to the topic at hand, I’m a trimmer when there’ll be any ball playing on the field. The rest of the time, I view it like shaving my legs during winter… just call me a bush woman. 
Deliberate obtuseness can be used to great comedic effect :o
Duh me. I blame it on the lack of sleep. Ya. That’s the ticket.
It’s just good manners. No one likes getting a hair stuck in the back of your throat.
Male, married. Both the wife and I are basically bald down below. LOVE it that way.
Pre-married life? Most women I was with were either completely shaved, or mostly shaved.
My wife likes me to manscape. She says my junk looks nicer. Looks bigger, too. A palm tree in the desert looks taller than a palm tree in a jungle.
Nah, she complained that it itches inside the chicken cosplay suit.
It’s weird to see how things cycle around. 40-50 years ago, magazines like Playboy airbrushed any traces of pubic hair out of their nude pix of women. After awhile, people commented on the unrealism of it, and the implied infantilization of the women in their photo spreads. And mags like Penthouse showed bush in their photo spreads, and Playboy eventually followed suit.
Back during my single years (which ended roughly 25 years ago), not only did I ever see a woman with a shaved or even a noticeably trimmed bush (not just on women I was intimate with, but with woman friends I skinnydipped with and the like), but the idea would have been considered ridiculous by pretty much every woman I knew.
I’m not saying there’s anything inherently right in that POV; this isn’t a “kids these days” sorta comment. If I were single again, I’m sure I’d be happy with whatever I found down there, on a woman I wanted to sleep with. It was just that that’s how things were in the 1970s and 1980s - 180 degrees different from now on this matter of taste.
Male pushing 40. Most all have been trimmed to some extent, usually a landing strip or trimmed triangle. One shaved completely once a month, and that was it. So one day I got hair in my teeth, and a few days later I hooked up with her again and it was completely bald, which kinda wierded me out. I prefer just a little bit of hair; enough to reassure me that I’m with a grown woman. So the landing strip is perfect. It’s there, comforting you, saying “This is a full-grown woman, now go down there without worrying about any stray hairs.”
I’m curious why no one has mentioned the pre-pubescent look of a totally bare pussy.
because it doesn’t resemble a pre-pubescent girl.
Any more than shaved legs or shaved underarms cause confusion.
I’m just angry that my idea for a Pubic Bedazzler Kit hasn’t caught on.
