I don't see it as the hair is hiding any attributes, more like highlighting or enhancing. There is a genetic and evolutionary reason for it being there. Like I have always stated, to each there own!!
When I was an adolescent, girls had hairy pubes. They trimmed them but I still have the picture in my mind of a hairy bush with a juicy crimson split. It padded out their otherwise camel toe when wearing a bikini, at least a camel toe split wasn't as common then. Pubics peeked outside the bikini line sometimes. One sobering moment was some years ago when the woman had just peed and not cleaned up and her pubes tasted of pre when I went to lick her out. Nevertheless Ido like the natural but trimmed look. Keeps the hairs from pulling inwards with my cock shaft too. Ouch. My wife had me trim hers to prevent this.
I always preferred girls that were smooth with little to no body hair, but long hair on their head where it belonged. I never wanted anything to get in the way while I was eating her out. My wife always kept herself well trimmed or shaved which worked out well.
I shaved mine off with mums boyfriends razor. It feels so nice baldy and smooth but now I have to do it every day coz I don't like it prickly when it starts growing back.
And did you like the idea of using a man's facial razor for shaving your private, perhaps? Having said that, they do make much better razors for the vulva.
So that was my problem too. My very first FWB was waxed down there and I liked it. I liked licking it all smooth and I liked how she got shiny when she was wet. She asked me to shave and I did. It felt awesome when we played. Then it got stubbly. She told me to go to the woman who waxed her. I did...and still do....and it was even better. You get a little more time being waxed than you do shaving. But in between waxings, I shave it smooth daily in the morning. Not as clean as a wax but still pretty good. My FWB gets waxed and, if she's a little short on cash and needs a touch up, I shave it for her. Easier for me to deal with the folds and asshole than it is for her and much more fun for the both of us.
I Iike it both ways! For women I find the natural hairy genital area a real turn-on. The dark V shaped patch just looks natural and erotic to me. This also extends to armpits where I have never had a problem with being hairy. Kind of explains my attraction to the barefoot, hippy chic types. For men I find a totally shaved and smooth genital area the absolute best. My best mate who I hook-up with regularly is always smooth and I just love the way it highlights his tanned cock. So, there's my 50c each way
I prefer a bare or almost bare pubic are on a woman. I don't mind a little hair above the slit, but I do love the sight and feel of a totally bare pussy. As for myself, I shave my balls and all around the base of my dick, but my wife doesn't like me totally hairless.
