I prefer full body nude and smooth. I have been shaving full body smooth since I was still in high school, long before it became popular to do so.
I was on the swim team and every season 4 finals we were required to shave all body hair outside or Speedo lines Just prior to our first events. When you hit the water this makes an amazing sensation and gives you a little psychological boost. During this time my girlfriend and I were extremely sexually active and particularly enjoyed engaging in oral activities.
I not only shaved outside my Speedo line, I shaved completely smooth, my girlfriend went wild and the sex was off the charts. She then decided to shave fully smooth, but was in quite paranoid her mother would find out and know what we've been up to. Since this time I have always shaved full body smooth and since I do this on a near-daily basis it is not a chore do not have itching are other issues.
I always figured I'd dislike the stubble that comes from shaving and confirmed it late last year with a razor left in the shower by another family member. I wouldn't be patient enough to tend to it daily.
More my style is to trim or epilate. At the moment my chest, shoulders, arms and legs are trimmed and the pubes epilated. My goal with trimming is to go as short as I can without it being obvious. A #3 trimmer blade (3/8" or 9 mm) removes volume while allowing the hairs to overlap for a natural look. When I have the time and inclination I'll epilate more and when I'm lazy the regrowth is gradual and starts fine.
