I voted yes...I shave everything that shouldn't be there! LOL Luckily for me, I am not that hairy of a person. And lucky for dh, he is very low on the hair, too, cause I would be going after him with the wax, too, if he was! LOL
I am not a fan at all of hair, if you can't tell! LOL None of my family is hairy, on both sides, so I grew up with smoothness, and I prefer it that way.

I'm a "selective shaver", LOL. I shave my underarms once a month or so in the winter, more often in the summer. I trim (not shave) my pubic area year round. I shave my lower legs when it's hot enough to wear shorts or capris, so I haven't shaved since the end of August. I would just not shave my legs year round, but it bothers DH and I respect his feelings. Plus, people stare and stay mean things (did you know that having hair on your legs is "gross"?).
It's such a tough issue for me. I want to believe that I shouldn't have to shave at all and that I have no reason to conform to cultural beauty standards. In reality I shave my underarms to stay drier and same with trimming my public hair. As for my legs, that's purely cultural.
I don't know how to vote here. I will shave more in the summer, but not shave in winter. I actually just spent an hour shaving last weekend, it's getting warm here and the hair was driving me crazy. I shave my armpits maybe every other month, and don't do anything to my pubic area, unless I am going swimming, then I clean up a bit....
I was going to ask this question myself!

I don't and my armpits are super hairy . My brother tells me I look like i've got Buckwheat in a headlock lol., my legs aren't very hairy at all though . Shaving is a giant pita in my opinion.
I naturally have very little body hair. I shave my legs probably 3-4x/year (in the summer mostly) or wax once. Shave the pits probably 1-2x/month. And, trim the bikini area only if I'm going out in a swimsuit.
I don't know what I'd do if I had more hair, because, frankly, shaving is boring and time consuming. I can easily get away with it, but don't know what my "policy" would be otherwise.

Interesting...I keep up with my underarms regularly, b/c it makes me feel dirty if it gets long...my pubic hair is only if I am going out in a swimsuit...and my legs well I used to be good but since I got preg, I just haven't cared and like I said in op I am not hatin it...so it may stay. It is warm here and I have been going out with hairy legs...but the hair is very long...I wouldn't do it at all...but like someone else said it bothers dh...so we'll see.
I can't stand to have underarm hair. It bugs me to death. I have been "grooming" the bush as long as I can remember. I rarely shave my legs, though. They aren't really that hairy anyway and I could care less what anyone but my dh thinks and he doesn't seem to care. When I do shave it clogs up the razor b/c it got so long in the first place and that is a pita. I must say, though, that I like the feel of sexy, smooth legs after I do shave with patchouli and jasmine oils rubbed into them. Mmmmm.

Yes I like the feel of clean shaven legs, but it only lasts about 1/2 a day and then they feel like, well, awful. That is why dh thinks I should not shave them at all, cause he doesn't like the pokey in between phase.
Mine get super hairy, but with light hair. It takes forever to shave when I do, but somethimes I enjoy the challenge, if I do not have the kids helping me.
Lately the kids have liked to fetch pads and tampons for me when I get dressed. They are pretty interested in the whole thing. I don't put tampons in in front of them, but I just know they are going to start talking to people about me "bleeding" so much....
I'm a selective shaver, just the armpits regularly. My legs have fine blonde hair so I only shave if I have to wear panty-hose, which ain't often. I'm really self-conscious about my armpit hair though. One pit grows as fast and thick as a MiracleGro chia pet the other one gives me these long straight wisps like a twelve year old trying to grow a beard. It's freaky and I hate to see it let alone to show it. I don't shave much in the winter. I'm not inclined to shave any time or any where that no one's going to know but me.

i hate shaving. it hurts. everytime i shave my pits i get ingrown hairs and it hurts when my arms rub when i walk. now i only trim with clippers if their going to be seen out in public ( tank tops)
and i've notice with my legs in the winter i don't have hair all over i think because the hair must rub off or something because i always have pants/jeans on. i'll shave if i want to feel sexy but i don't think dh really cares either way. but no one likes pokkies lol
i only trim my bikini area for swimsiuts to. i figure if someone has a problem with it they should stop looking.
drew barrymore hasn't shaved her underarms for a while either
my dh just read this over my shoulder he thinks i'm wacked out lol
i told him "see dan there are other girls out there just lke me"
