A member asked:
Should i shave my pubic hair? i shaved my butt hair recently and wondered whether or not to shave it. is there any benefit to keeping it?

Hair is fine: There is no need to shave pubic hair. The more people who shave their pubic hair, the more pressure there will be upon other people to also shave their pubic hair. Since there is nothing inherently abnormal about pubic hair, there is no reason to shave pubic hair. It's just fashion. If one is a teen, he has many other more important things to do, so pubic hair should not be an issue.
