I love my bf's it's soft and I like to tuck my head under his arm when we're laying in bed together... I like the way he smells. He likes natural women, I used to shave everything, I however no matter what method I use, wax, razor etc.. It's always very uncomfortable and the grow back is hell.
When he told me he liked natural women, I took that opportunity to really just grow myself out for him. Once I was past the stubble part, it was actually quite comfortable. I don't know why there's such stigma in the U.S. regarding shaved women. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, if you shower regularly and take proper hygienic precautions (deodorant etc.) you smell no different then you would if you shaved.
I think it should be left to preference and not because culture dictates you have to. Do what's comfortable to you. I don't mind shaving, but it's uncomfortable for me. I'm just glad that I have a man who appreciates that there's natural beauty in women unshaven in all areas.
