Bravo. I just came off a year of not shaving. I finally caved and shaved my legs last month because I was feeling self-conscious. But I love my armpit hair.
I'm so glad to see women embracing this - if they want to, of course. And so glad your experience has been positive.
Sadly, I have never had a lover who wasn't disgusted with my body hair - and that was when I shaved. No stubble allowed and they always wanted me to me wax my pubic hair - which I refused to do. I'm dying to meet someone who accepts my body as it is.
