Au Natural
As a 40-something male, I prefer totally shaven nether regions on my wife. Whilst it might be considered a fad these days, my first experience with a shaven woman was some 25 years ago. We were both about 20 at the time.
The arguments against shaving are typically the same:
- It is not natural.
- It itches when it grows back in.
- The requestor is a pervert (with references toward pedophilia).
The best argument is: "It's my body, and I don't care if you prefer it that way." At least it is honest. Taking the other arguments in turn.
- Natural? It might not be natural, but neither is shaving your legs or armpits or plucking eyebrows or wearing jewelry or makeup. If you do non of these unnatural acts, then you just might have a valid argument.
- Itches? Sure, it might itch. Perhaps the secret is to not let it grow back. There are also other methods then shaving that are less itchy.
- Pedophilia? Please. Don't flatter yourself. You are an adult woman. You probably have breasts. You are not pre-pubescent.
The bottom line is if you don't like it, don't do it. But don't complain about the guys that want it. Date different guys.
