Hello girls! And boys as well.
Do you girls wax or shave? and why?
And boys, do you like the brazilian wax?
i have many questions regarding this and i want to hear different opinions. My boyfriend says that shaving everything makes me look like a baby and he doesnt like it. what about you?

you do realize there are many stages between "shaving everything off" (which is probably what your boyfriend is talking about) and growing a full bush 100% au naturel?
you could trim it, or just shave/wax your bikiniline, or a little bit more, or go for figures or... Sooooo many options! (not saying that there is anything wrong with a totally natural bush, just saying that there are plenty of options in between)
I shave (if you do, buy man's razors, works a lot better), because I'm too afraid to try waxing haha. but for some people waxing works great. I have a "landing strip", don't like it when everything is gone, makes me feel like a little girl (again, that's just me, other women feel differently about this.).
regarding your other question; while I personally think it is important to keep your partner's preference in mind as well, what YOU do with YOUR body downunder is YOUR decision. don't shave or not shave only because your boyfriends want it that way .
As for guy's preferences, it's just like with boobs or weight or any other physical trait: opinions and tastes vary. there is no general rule or opinion: different guys like different things.

Everything off is the current fashion for models here in Tchermany - I haven't seen pubes for about a decade...
Even non-models tend to shave it all off...
I prefer to remain totally natural, never shave anywhere except possibly my legs in the summertime. A few times over the years I have had artists or photographers request that I shave bare for an assignment, which I did because I really wanted to work with them. But I do not care for the bare look at all and made the decision to remain natural. My husband likes the natural look best as well.
When I see other women in dressing rooms, locker rooms and so on it seems like the great majority of them are shaved bare or have done major trimming and changing the size of the patch.
I find that I receive a lot of compliments on remaining natural and bushy, and in fact some artists and photographers have mentioned that they selected me specifically because of that feature which is really hard to find.
But you have to do what you think is best for you, there are always going to be different opinions.
Shaving causes bristle and waxing is too complicated, try epilating. I've been married for 20 years and we have tried all methods, epilating is the best.
Tell 'im to shuddup, and be glad ya even talk to him . . . Professionally, I like there to be at least some "coverage" . . . personally, I'm still a guy (even though I'm a VERY aged one at this point), so, I'm happy if a pretty girl even talks to me . . . her grooming preferences are completely up to her . . .
I haven't shot nudes, but I can personally say that clean shaven is the best, and landing strip is fine, but full on 70s style is not my cup of tea at all.

Ditto that. (Except I do shoot nudes, and they all happened to be clean shaven.)

I like variety. Maybe he does too. Maybe leave a heart down there for him! Lol
If you do shave make sure there ain't stubble around places you can't get to well cause that stuff hurts! Ouch
For lovemaking clean shaven, but for photos it all depends on the shot. Clean shaven is the more exposed, more vulnerable with nothing left to hide behind. It definitely is not adolescent to me it is an unabashedly acceptance of the beauty of your female parts.
I shave everything off for personal preferences since ages (and I barely get the hairs back, at this point).
But when it comes to modeling, I have noticed that a lot of photographers prefer a well-trimmed coverage rather than anything at all - especially for fashion nudes and art nudes. I've even seen casting calls for not-shaved models only!

Big, totally unshaven bush can be beautiful, and I believe it is preferred for figure modeling or artistic nudes (of the old-school ilk)
Totally clean shaven or waxed is also great for certain art nudes or bodyscapes... and I believe it is preferred for the erotic, lingerie, bikini, fetish, etc...
When I'm not taking pictures, and just appreciating one of those things in person... I personally prefer a little topiary on top, like a landing strip, lightning bolt, heart, etc...
The worst is simply unkempt. Hair or no hair... it should look like it is well maintained and treated like a princess.

In a natural sense, pubic hair is a visual sign of sexual maturity..
having raised a daughter, my first reaction to a female body pubic devoid of hair is that of youth/immaturity. while i am sure every part of you is beautiful, shaving your pubic area does nothing to make you more attractive...it's more a distraction then anything.
I have no preference. If they are the person for that job, they are the person for that job, amount of hair is not a dealbreaker in my work lol. Completely shaved is ok, but on some models/outfits it becomes a no. It's only ever been an issue twice in fashion, usually swimwear shoots.

And guys who shave their face do it to look prepubescent as well, right?
everyone is entitled to their opinion. no, I don't get the prepubescent asociation with shaved armpits, but then again I also don't asociate armpits with sex.
I dislike a completely shaven look on guys as well.
different people, different tastes. I haven't seen anyone yet in this thread post something insulting regarding a fully shaved look.
1. My opinion to what to do with your pubic hair situation DOES NOT MATTER unless we are shooting nudes together. (I prefer bare)
2. Your boyfriend's preferences should be considered.
3. Do what YOU like best. If your boyfriend can't deal with it, find one who can. If the photographer wants you full natural and you prefer yourself shaved, then that photographer is out of luck.
Hearing everyone's opinions here is like asking what you should have for dinner because you're hungry.

My point being that prepubescent boys do not have facial hair, and prepubescent girls do not have armpit and pubic hair. But sure.

I prefer hardwood floors as opposed to carpet. I personally get for body waxes Brazilian included as opposed to shaving. Not having shot nudes it's totally on the model as to what they want and how they feel
