Well, I've had different thoughts about it. When I was about 15 I decided I wanted to shave myself all over my body, not just downstairs, as I felt it was getting a bit too much for my liking. Then, I shaved for a while every so often. But now I'm content just to let it grow, it's just natural after all, and there's not an enormous amount anyway.
In some ways I feel more confident having pubic hair than not when I am nude around other guys, I'm not sure why, I guess you kinda expect to see some on them and I have got used to mine, so I feel less likely to be stared at for being different!
