How can you not see the comparison with children?
Would you like to sleep with a completely hairless man?
My partner is bald, trims his body hair and yet I'm under no illusion that he's a baby.
I've been shaving, trimming and waxing since I was 18. I'm now 48 and continue to do so.
My public hair whilst not vast, thick and bushy actually grows very long on the labia Majora like the moustache of an ancient martial arts warrior. 
It used to matt with the blood from menstruation, and trap painfully in underwear.
Both my partner and I enjoy positively masses of oral pleasure, from my previous experience with hairier men it does work loose and become unpleasant in the mouth. Out of respect for each other we keep it trimmed.
When I feel like it, I get a wax, full off. The first time I heard of it as a common theme was actually on Sex and the City.
Partner enjoys the sensation, as do I. However he's under no illusion that I'm childlike due to the fact that a) he's incredibly turned on by the fact that I'm older than him b) my G cup norkers and stretch marks are usually in full view at the same time as my flange.
I agree with a PP these threads always end up in accusatory pattens of dirty full minge v porn driven child fanjo.
Your pubis your choice.
