I think it depends on the person you are with whether they mind if you are shaved or at least trimmed. Most girls I have been with like it when it is trimmed tight. I don't think I would have any problems with shaving if I had to. But if your a guy and you want your gf to be shaven then you should at least do the same for her liking
