I love girl hair, as long as it's in the right places (not on the face, chest, or back).  But shaved is cool too.  I'm easy to please.  (I must say that if society expected ME to shave even just my armpits and legs I would tell society to go fuck itself.  No way.  Ever.)

Oh, and "Menitals" is silly.  I'd go with "dudenda."

Ditto on (almost) all points.  I have never shaved any part of me every day.  I don't really shave my legs that often, even in summer, because it never really gets to be more than fuzz that can barely be seen or even felt. Armpits I'm a little more vigilant about but, yeah, I'm not going to put a lot of effort into making sure that nobody can tell that there are any hair follicles there. I don't think it's a big or terribly shocking surprise.

But, wait, when you talk about "doctoring the bikini bits" are you talking about taking it all off? Because that is something I just can't get behind.  Trimming is a convenience to both me and my partner but there is no way I'm going for hardwood floors.  The cuts, the razor bumps, the stubble...*shudder*. Plus, I like my firebrush and so has pretty much every partner I've had.

In general, yeah, I agree that men are not as worked up about female hair removal as women themselves are. However, I think that's true of all kinds of things regarding women's looks and bodies.

As for male body hair? Agreed, the happy trail drives me wild. I can pretty much warm up to any guy's body hair.  Robin Williams-level hairiness might be a bit much for me, however, it wouldn't be nearly as damning to me as male waxing or shaving. Anything that smacks of metrosexuality=not my thing.

I couldn't care less, other than East/ German girls I met in the 70's.... no, buffalo rug just ain't on... Apart from that, whatever you've got is whatever you got. I have no idea where from this obsession about shaved pubes came from.

Love armpit hair on a woman. I find it very sexy. I don't understand why they shave it.

i wax my legs and bikini (occasional brazilian) about every 6 weeks.  i have ample pubes and need to keep them trim or they'll peek out from the top of my yoga pants. my underarms have gone 3 years between waxing, it's so barely there.  i can't stand razors, i can only wax.

i like the trail of man hair from the belly button on down.  nice.  hairy chest or not, i'm not picky.  

I started playing doctor with my friends who were girls when I was ten or eleven.  Our play was more out of curiosity than anything sexual.  The nature of the games changes as I got older but one particular thing that sticks in my mind is that after 12 or 13, the girls all had hairy pubes and arm pits.  In other words, the only time I saw hairless pubes was with the prepubescent girls.

I'm not turned off by a shaved pubes but it takes a second or two for me to clear my head of the idea that I'm not looking at a prepubescent girl.  Just a second or two, then I'm good to go.

Most women I've dated overwhelmingly shave their pubes as a matter of habit, often because their prior boyfriends always wanted them shaved.  All of the women shaved their arm pits and legs, I assume for professional reasons, but I'm only guessing.  With few exceptions, there was surprise followed by a sigh of relief when I asked (begged if necessary) them not to shave their pubes unless it made them uncomfortable.

The shortest way to explain it:  I like a grown up kitty that looks grown up.  Likewise, I even like the natural curlies around her butt, but maybe that's just me.

As for hairy arm pits, something must have happened to me after I turned 30 because on the few occassions when I've seen women in public with hairy arm pits (1/2 inch or more) I was surprisingly turned on by it.  I think as a general rule, though, I'd prefer the shaved armpit.

Now you know what I think.

My wife and I used to joke about shaving, just for kicks -- though we never got around to it. It seemed exotic, focused, slick. Then came her chemo, and enforced hairlessness. Put's it all in perspective.... Let it grow!
