"One ex of mine – when I mentioned that I prefer (always have actually) women to shave their pubes – said that that was peadophilia. I laughed and told her that she was nuts."

It is an interesting topic (if very controversial even for here) as to why men do seem to prefer women with shaved pussies (leaving aside the 70’s aberation).

The simplest explanation would indeed be that men are hardwired to prefer females at the very beginning of puberty (i.e the age most likely to be virgins AND fertile (and maiximum years of fertility ahead of them)).
