Over a year ago, my wife decided to "go smooth." This was mostly due to all our friends - including myself - at the resort being shaven; and my wife deciding to "get on the bandwagon."
I personally feel that smooth is a "good look" for her; but ultimately it was her choice. As long as she's comfortable and confident in the way she looks naked, that's the most important thing.
It wasn't until several years later that we began seeing more and more people at the club, resorts and the beach that had removed their pubic hair.
How times have changed.
During my first marriage, as my ex grew more comfortable with social nudism, she decided to shave smooth. When asked why; she responded that she wanted to sport a more "youthful look" than the "older" women at our resort. She was in her mid-twenties at the time. It certainly was noticed, as she was one out of maybe a couple of other women sporting that "look." At that time it and in that neck of the woods, it was still considered "daring" or even "brazen"; as it supposedly brought more attention to the genitals. That didn't faze her at all.
Today, she would just blend in.
I have shaved for many years. I started first just trimming with clippers. Seemed like every other trim was shorter and shorter until I just started shaving. However, I couldnt shave against the grain as that caused many ingrown hairs, so then I upgraded to waxing. Then that started getting expensive and I ran a cross a Groupon deal for laser hair removal. I just finished my last session of 9 and Im extremely happy I went that route. Not only am I completely smooth, but I also enjoyed someone in my personal space and handling my jewels, an occasional rub or stroke is always great when its not expected ;-)
