Shaving

This question (actually multiple questions) is mostly for the ladies... Of course gentlemen may respond too.

Do you shave your pubic hair? If so, when did you start (how long ago and/or at what age), and why did you start?

From my viewing of online photography and reading of Playboy, it seems the practice exploded back around 2002. Was there some kind of memo? <heh>

Let me say that I have a strong preference for shaved vulvas. I could stare at a shapely shaved pussy for a long time without getting bored. Trimmed is 'okay' but I really dislike full bush.

In the interest of full disclosure, both my wife and I shave. She was doing it before we met (so was an early adopter of the practice). I started when I needed a vasectomy, and my wife and I realized we both liked it -- so I've kept doing it. That was 6+ years ago.
