as it has been said, personal preferences, but to me i love mine shaved, love doing it myself, love a friend doing it to!!
i go by what i want and my partener(s) want, and i havent had any complaints that i have cut down the forest!
I do it for myself, and i know there are guys that do like a bit of hair down below, but I am yet to meet one!!
I'm totallly smooth and i love it.. nothing better.
And no gaggin problems either.. lol
