I like to be trim, but can't stand it too short, or hairless. I went through a series of IPL treatments about 5 years ago to tidy up the bikini line, cos I'm so lazy and hate shaving, and rarely have to do anything on the edges now. Like others, it would concern me if my partner was turned off by a prepubescent appearance. DH (luckily) likes me trim, too, (tmi: doesn't like hair between his teeth.)

Having seen many normal women's vaginas in my 6 months working as a woman's health physio, I can say for sure there's a vast difference in hairiness - density, length, breadth of location, etc. I think I have naturally fairly localised but dense and long hair. But there are many women who are sparse, or like a bear skin rug, or who's bikini line spreads half way down their inner thighs, or over their belly... if you're born with a 'style' that you're not keen on, I see no harm in changing it for yourself.
