I trim/shave I prefer my partner to do the same, I guess I wouldn't be forward about it cuz I wouldn't wanna hurt her feelings but I would suggest trying something new maybe letting me shave her. This will help not to sound like I am saying she is unclean and it also creates a form of foreplay. Now since op is toward a man not sure if he would be comfortable letting you do this but you could try it.
We have a Bidet in our bathroom, it's great fun to use and it keeps my pussy clean and sweet smelling.
i shave my balls, trim my pubes to porn star style. i shave my upper legs, just my upper legs like my thighs, and i shave my butt. all in all it looks a hell of a lot better trust me. i get commented on my naked body. as for a girl, has to be shaved. i would tell her straight up shaved. not trimmed shaved. i love licking girls out, but not if there not SHAVED if ur a girl u should shave. thats my opinion
take showers together and wash each other so u are comfortable on how clean it is, wash it all u want cuz to us guys, it feels like you are just playing with us, so jerk him off with soap and play with him balls
I feel much better when I'm shaved, the only problem would probably be getting bumps from time to time from shaving. Otherwise, I can't think of any negatives of shaving. It's always better to keep clean.
I think you just need to let him know. I know if my girlfriend told me something she had a problem with I'd try to fix it as long as it was reasonable. For example, I think I look pretty good with the scruffy look, but I keep my face shaved smooth every day because my girlfriend doesn't want to feel my face when i'm kissing her or going down on her. I'd never go down on a chick if her pussy smelled like pee. That's gotta be one of the worst smells ever. I'd say it's worse than the smell of shit or cadavers and pretty close to that of puke.
My partner and I enjoy washing each other in the shower, very erotic to slowly soap up each others body and rinse. Sometimes I even wiat to take a shower til we can together,
