I prefer it groomed and maintained, just like how I maintain my body hair

It's actually less hygienic. We're evolved to have hair there for a reason.

PersonalAir3971@reddit

What?! What exactly about having hair is apparently so unhygienic? As long as you properly wash everything regularly, it's no more unhygienic to have pubes than to shave them off.

My SO always waxes and that's her choice. Personally I'm fine with smoothies, trimmed or natural. Ultimately it's your body, do what you feel best with - if your partner disagrees, that's their issue not yours.

My wife is shaved which would be my preference as well as hers. I’d also be fine with trimmed but if I’m honest I’d find a natural look unappealing. Ultimately though everyone has their own preferences and you just really need to do what you’re happy with.

EveryDayA_Struggle@reddit

I hate hairs in my mouth, so I'd both like a partner shaved and also shave myself. However, ultimately, it's your body and your choice. Respect and boundaries are very important so you do whatever you think is what you want to do

Reminds me of that joke:- I went to the dentist this morning and he asked if I had had oral sex last night. “Yes” I said, “why do I have a public hair in my teeth?”, “no” he replied “you have shit on your nose”.

They've never been fully shaven. I have no particular preference - as long as someone has good hygiene. Just glad to be invited, not going to criticise the decor.

Personally, I prefer trimmed to shaven. Equally, if I am ever in a position to comment on pubic topiary, then I am most definitely not interested in your pubic topiary.....

I would love my husband to be clean shaven down there. He done it once and complained about the itching so never again.

AggravatingSpite7884@reddit

He can use after shave cream, it's very very helpful, 0 itching, on Amazon you can get Veet Men Intimate Hair Removal Kit, Mens Hair Removal Cream 100ml, After Shave Balm 50ml. I'm using my self, best creams ever.

A little trim doesn’t go a miss as you get older. But not a fan of the the “last chicken in tesco” or “full piggybank” looks.

Natural bush trimmed with the same level of care as one's head/beard whatever. Neat and tidy, nice and clean, be proud of it. Fully shaved makes you look like a child, which is creepy.

Still_Bee8394@reddit

In my last long term relationship she was always smooth, she was smooth before I met her through personal choice. I would imagine she's still that way. Incidentally, I was always shaved before I met her and continue to be. I bought her an IPL hair remover, she loved it! I used it and it's certainly a game changer. My one stopped working about six months ago, I keep meaning to buy another.

I-Spot-Dalmatians@reddit

She doesn’t like it too long and I don’t care one way or the other most of the time so she tends to leave it a few weeks and then shave it. If I’m eating her out I prefer just a bit more than stubble just as a nice middle ground

I like all options; shaved looks great, a little hair looks great, full bush still great. It's nice to be attractive to your partner but you should just do what you want instead, it can be an endless game to keep up to someone else's standards even if they aren't expecting you to, but to just do as you please takes no effort because you are just acting naturally.

She likes to be fully shaven all the times. Even during her recent pregnancy she was hairless with the use of strategic mirror placements. I do the same too

Yeah, she shaves everywhere because she knows I prefer it. I shave the ol' meat and two veg because I know she prefers it but she prefers me to have hair everywhere else, so I don't shave there. I think she just doesn't want to get pubes in her mouth lol.

Not at all times, but if we have something planned then she likes to be smooth. Me too, for that matter. I don't care personally - it's the greatest thing in the world no matter if its furry or not!

I'm old as fuck so completely shaved was not a thing. I prefer trimmed for aesthetics but a full growth wouldn't be a deal breaker. My younger friends have never had partners who didn't shave.

What matters more is what you want. Any man getting close enough to it to see your grooming style isn't likely to complain about your choice... and if by some minor miracle he does, that's his problem.

Yes. I know it's silly because hair is natural, but it's just so much nicer shaved. Especially when, ahem, getting involved facially. Not wildly different from most men shaving their face, I suppose. Of course, best thing to do is have a conversation with your partner about how bothered they are.
