I've been a nudist since the mid 80's back than at camp the ladies went smooth first - no doubt they had little hair to remove than men joined in . I had gone smooth on and off since the mid 70's but back than razor and razor bumps , and at camp I started with just a landing strip. a while later I was going for the weekend camping there and the night before I shaved everything below my nose and at camp the next day I sure got the looks - yeah nudist look .It felt great getting a all over tan but the shaving was a paint.maybe 20 years ago I bought a Norelco bodygroomer - still use it and wow what a difference i've been smoothie from the neck down ever since . mine is a antique compared to the body shavers - trimmers today but other than New blade it works great . I just shaved - Every inch and took me about ten minutes , i'll never stop being a smoothie.
Being a hirsute male, I doubt I was born smooth..lol Last summer, when I made my yearly trek back to Haulover, I noticed me and one other guy only two NOT 100% smooth. Every other man and woman were totally smooth. Obviously smooth is the preference of many, or most. But to each their own, and realize I am the hairy man out
i have shaved from time to time but ingrown hairs were the death of me. last winter i had hernia repair and they trimmed but didnt shave much of my pubic hair, but left it all around the base of my penis. no ingrown hairs, and i like how it looks so i'm keeping it at least for the time being.
when i was younger and had better muscles, i trimmed or shaved my chest too.
i recently spend a week at Cap d'Agde and i'd say that out of 5-10,000 men, there were maybe 5 with pubic hair.

I am much the same way - it'd be an absolute chore for me to maintain smoothness and I enjoy my body as it comes naturally (which is very hairy). No harm either way but I do wonder if sometimes I get some sideways looks because of it.
Does anyone else think this may be an indication of the divide between Nudists (lean more smooth) and Naturists (who leave things to flourish as their body chooses)? Maybe that is far to big of a statement for something as minor as a swipe of a razor or trimmer.
