My Gyno thinks its a lot better to shave than to let it grow too bushy. I think he's got a good point too. Hair traps moisture, which in turn can cause bacteria, which can lead to an odor problem, yeast infections, etc. So I take his advice. I started shaving completely! My fellow really likes it too!
I've almost got him talked into shaving himself too. Or at least letting ME do it for him!
