I prefer the natural look, too, Chatwin. Way to go to not give into peer pressure. I hate when the norm becomes altering our natural bodies in order to make something beautiful. We are beautiful as we are. No changes necessary.
I was lying in bed with my boyfriend last weekend after just giving him a hand job. And like any good woman would do, I cleaned his genitals and pubic hair of semen with washcloths. Yes, I know, swallowing would have been better but I was having vertigo and nausea so that wasn't going to happen. As I wiped the sticky goo from it, I fluffed his hair and really paid attention to something I've taken for granted for years. He is not tremendously hairy, just average but his hair is very nice, soft and curly. It's thicker around the base of his penis and the hair around it forms a natural plush cushion that feels wonderful against my pussy.
I've been with men who shaved or trimmed and the stubble can be very uncomfortable. I'd rather have it natural than to be in the mouth, face, vagina and ass by short, coarse hairs. It might be soft and beautiful the second it is shaved but within hours, it turns into a porcupine. It is probably the same way with hair around the vagina. Rather than do the required daily upkeep, which can be irritating to delicate areas and cause bumps and abrasion, I'd rather be as nature intended.
Waxing or permanent hair removal does nothing for me either. I'm just not into it. To each, his or her own.
