So, girls do it, guys do it to. First, the case for genital shaving.
The most basic reason is that we, as decent human beings, feel it is necessry to preen ourselves. We cut our hair, trim our nails, brush our teeth, use all kinds of chemicals on our faces to enhace our appearance, and some people even go so far to have surgery done to change their appearance for the better. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one fairly universal appeal is cleanliness. Some sort of order and care greatly enhances one's physical appeal. This is no different for our nether regions.
So why is it something not spoken about? Well, for one, about anything involving the words "penis" or "vagina" are considered, ironically, dirty. It's taboo. Nevertheless, as progressive youth, we should be able to talk about this. Some people consider it akward or unnatural. Also, there is a correct idea that pubic hair is a sign of maturity -- once one has pubic hair, one is biologically an adult (or almost there). Well, shaving one's legs or beard is just as unnatural. As for maturity, most adults' genitals are sufficiently different from those of a child so that hair or no hair, one could tell the difference. As said, preening your pubes is no different from combing your hair or using deoderant.
So lets talk about some of the benifits, mainly the aestetic and sexual ones.
Naked people are, generally, ugly as fuck. Even people who look fairly good clothed are often just not as good looking naked as you probably fantisized. Having hair all over the critical area doesn't help. On men, the unrestrained growth (including very unsightly "happy trails") look uncontrolled and untended. On women, excessive pubic hair growth is a strong interruption to her otherwise smooth and curvatious body. (Why do you think most adult video actors shave? Nobody wants a stripper or porn girl spread her legs only to see something that looks like a run-over dead cat.) If nothing else, just a bit of grooming to balance sides and keep excess growth under control looks much better.
Now for the real good part, the sex part.
I'll start with oral sex since this is where shaved genitals have a great benifit. Ever lick a carpet? No? Do it right now, there's bound to be one somewhere close to you. Now, was that pleasant? I doubt it. It's rough and scratchy. The lips and tongue are delicate. Now, when performing oral, does anybody really want to get a mouthfull of hair? I sure as hell don't. Shaving the penis and labia majoris means your partner can service you with direct skin-to-skin contact. Much preferable, much more erotic. In fact, any part shaved or at least clipped will allow better contact. On women especially, it doesn't obsure the genitals, allowing the man to stimulate without having to hunt for the right spot. While there are many more sexual benifits to shaving, there's just one more that I'll mention. Shaving is a sign of trust. A partner who has shaved their genitals feels confident and trusting; they feel no need to hide their most private parts behind an ugly drape of hair.
Lastly, there's a few things to clear up about genital shaving. It does not make you sweat more. You may sweat a bit after the first time you shave, but that's just the skin adjusting. In the long run, it doesn't matter each way. The skin gets used to the irritation of shaving after only one or two times, as well. As long as you're careful and use good blades and cream, shaving can be entirely painless. If anything, shaved genitals are my hygenic. Sweat and dead skin cells (as well as parasites) cannot take root as well without the hair present. And it bares mentioning again, especially for men. Shaving your genitals is not at all unmanly. The most manly thing anybody can do is satisfy a woman properly, and having a shaved pubic area helps a lot. If you base your manliness off how much pubic hair you have, you must not be very manly anyways.
And finally, if it wasn't clear, you don't have to go all out all the time. Some quick work with scissors or a clipper will do a great job alone. Of course, once you try going all out, you'll probably stay with it that way.
