My preference is unshaved/untrimmed; in fact, I find it a real turn on, but, as has been said, a naked woman is a naked woman. So far as I am concerned, women need not worry about removing any hair except on the face. Moustaches and beards, on women, however – that’s a definite turn off.

That’s the only reason I think I’d do it.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind doing the shaving thing everywhere more often, but I have to do so every other day, and on the legs, it gets annoying.

Erm, that would be on my period, not commando. Shaving pubes doesn’t squick me out but going commando does. Men _or_ women. But that’s just my thing, if I’m not aware you’re going it, then it doesn’t matter to me.

I shave my pubes. I’ve shaved ever since I started puberty. I just don’t like the look/feel of pubic hair. I used to leave a “landing strip” as it seems to be called, but I find it to be easier to just shave it completely off.

It’s part of my daily ritual to shave down there - I do it right after I shave my legs. Usually I shave every other day because my hair doesn’t grow very fast. And my stubble doesn’t get itchy so it’s not a problem if I don’t shave. My boyfriend likes it clean-shaven, and I was happy to oblige once I realized that it was much easier to just take it all off, and now I like it better that way.

So, in my opinion, pubic hair on me is bad. However, I love it on my boyfriend. Damn. I just think a hairy guy is so sexy and I’ve let him know that if he ever shaves - be it his pubs, his chest, or whatever - that there will be consequences. So it works out good. I like myself to be smooth and hair free (as does he) and I love his hairy manliness, and he prefers his body to be naturally hairy too.

Mmmmm. Man hair.
