Big fuckin shrug on the shave/no-shave thing. Both are hot if they’re hot and down. Same for dudes.
And if unshaven whatever really turns you off, it’s OK but IMO kinda sucks for you, because most people have body hair and hair tends to grow back.
Obvs bodily autonomy is the core issue but personally:
I like to shorten all my body hair with clippers especially my underarms and genitals because I find anything more than an inch or so pulls at my skin or traps things that are difficult to clean out.
(just because sometimes when I mention these things men get squeamish)
Back when I still menstruated regularly I would have to de-mat the clotted blood to clean my vagina daily and I was menstruating bi-weekly (had to go on birth control to make it once monthly and eventually just decided to get an IUD and it stopped altogether). The labia majora (big outer lips) are the same skin that turns into the scrotum when a baby is exposed to enough testosterone to become a boy, so imagine having to tug hard enough to de-mat a similarly sensitive skin).
