The women who shave the pubic area give me the creeps. I think maybe I'm looking at a child by mistake. Thankfully, I'm of the age that I've avoided a personal encounter with a shaven maiden and just seen them in pics. I don't even like them in pics of mature women. It takes away the sexiness and personality from the the Vee Spot. I like the natural triangles. It's appealing and associated with a sexy female form.

On the non-sexy aspects of hair, it does have a purpose in cooling all parts of the body. On the subject of personality, ask most bald men whether they would rather have hair than be baldies. I expect most of them would agree that their once-upon-a-time hair gave their appearance a personality they no longer have and would prefer to have back.
