I have noticed that my fellow Yanks are very particular about how ladies groom. Having lived abroad quite a bit, I've lost my preferences in grooming for ladies. As long as the body is clean, I don't care how much or where the hair is. I have my own personal preference for myself, but would not dream of telling another person how to do themselves.

Why are Yanks so particular about body hair, or the lack thereof? Theories?

LOL, great answer

The only real downside to natural is getting hairs in your mouth, which are really a pain to get out.

As for looking, smelling, and feeling better, not so much. I think a naked woman is beautiful no matter how she does (or doesn't) shave her body hair.
