The whole "shaved beaver" thing was a fad started by porn stars who wanted to satisfy the fantasies of pedophiles and pretend to be pre-pubescent. The normal pudenda of a healthy adult human has a good handful of fur.
Shaving the pudenda is a crime against nature, right up there with circumcision and tongue piercings and other abominations. The fact that this fad, started by the filthiest porn stars of the 80's gradually spread, first to less disgusting porn stars, and now to the population in general, is really, really sad.
I expect you have a ZZ Top beard and beautiful flowing locks?

I used to. I eventually gave in to social pressure and started cutting. I suppose that makes me as big a whore as La Courcelette, but so be it.
When the hair on your head is 30" long, it starts to become a genuine safety hazard and can get you caught in machinery, etc. You cannot say the same for your short-and-curlies.

Body builders are a whole different kind of disgusting. It's good to have a nice set of well-toned muscles from doing honest labour, but to look like the Michelin Man with those gigantic arthropod-like segmented muscles is not human.
I remember Solzhenitsyn talking about how Alekseyev couldn't even walk up a set of stairs because his thighs were too massive and couldn't be placed one in front of the other. World's strongest man, and he can't go upstairs to bed without assistance. That is far beyond any kind of healthy exercise regime. That is (dare I say it?) abomination.

Stephen Lynch - Medieval Bush
You can joke about "medieval" all you like, but in fact the "shaved beaver" fad didn't get underway until about 1985. If you watch any of the great 70's porn movies like Deep Throat or Misty Beethoven, or even the Debbie Does Dallas series (the last of which was made in 1982) you'll see that all of the actors and actresses still have normal, healthy bushes. At that time, faux-children were already appearing in some underground porn productions, but they were definitely understood to be pretend-paedophilia for perverts.
The VCR revolution, however, was well under way by then, and that meant all kinds of disgusting perversions -- golden showers, copraphagia, snuff, and of course peadophilia -- started becoming available. All kinds of relatively normal people who had heard of such things but never witnessed them started "sneaking a peak" overcome by curiosity. And the terrible thing is, once you have seen such things you cannot take them out of your head. The loss of innocence is permanent.
On principle, I'm not a big fan of censorship, but I do wonder if our society would be better off if we had never opened the door to those kinds of things being available to the mainstream. The Marquis deSade was quite right: one does become desensitized, and things that once seemed atrocities become no big deal after a while. I don't know if our society will ever be healthy again. I'm not making a positive assertion that it won't, but I do wonder.
The first time I saw a woman with a shaved beaver in a magazine was 1984. The first time I saw one live on stage was 1986. The first time I saw one in my own bed was 1995. Eleven years to go from being a bizarre novelty in a magazine to being a something that real people in real life did.

I personally trim/shave because it feels better, and I'm sure others agree. I'm not trying to be a porn star, and I don't care if hair were to become fashionable again, it's my preference.
I'm sure you didn't develop this "preference" on your own. Maybe some friend told you about it, maybe you read it in a book or watched it in a movie, maybe some lover asked you to try it. You didn't just wake up one day and initiate the idea with no social input. It's a fad, a meme, and spreads from host to host like any other meme.
