YES, I trim the pubes. Why? Because it looks neater and cleaner, and seems to turn back the clock on my appearance by five or ten years (I'm 37). Of course, I also trim my chest hair. I do this about once a month. Oh, and no matter what your size might be, GO SLOW AND BE CAREFUL. A stab of the scissors can be incredibly painful to soft pubic flesh, especially on the ol' thrill hammer.
I had average hair growth down below, and the fact it is blond makes it look shorter than it is. Still, after watching any porn video, you can see that the majority of males in the vids shave completely, and it just makes a guy look younger in my opinion. The trick is not to trim too much, and to keep it even. It's not as easy as you think! If your partner is into it, have them do it because they can get a, um, "better perspective" (up close and personal) than you can.
The old stereotype of hair=manliness is kind of dated. My trimmed chest hair totally makes my gym workouts seem more effective. After my first trim, the bed chatter included "you have REALLY been working out, haven't you?" Nope. Just trimmed the hair down a bit. Minor task. No sweat. Looks good.
How you feel about your appearance is the key. Unless there is a major objection from your partner, go with what feels right for you. If you feel like you look better after a trim, then you WILL look better. Everyone is different. The good news is that hair grows back, and the length will terminate at the natural length. You won't have permanent short or long patches. It just doesn't work that way. In other words, it will eventually look exactly the same as it did pre-trim.
Yeah, yeah, I know: enough already!
Clip 'em, dude!

For someone with a reputation for smuttiness, I had *never* heard the "it makes your cock look bigger* line. Perhaps this is because, unlike some, I don't search despairingly for ways of increasing my proportions :-)

You do have to keep it shaved or it will irritate your parntner, though.

And of course, if you've got a few "critters" down there, then shaving is the only sensible thing to do!

I'm getting images of pubic dreadlocks. *shudder*
I've never been with a guy who shaved or trimmed his naughty bits. In the abstract I think I would like it for the oral reasons mentioned above. However, it's on the long list of things that intrigue me but I'm not actively seeking out.

And I'd ask any girlfriend of mine to shave too if she didn't already, it's much nicer. Shaved pussy... fantastic. Can only be topped by a shaved pussy with plenty of piercings.
Now I'm horny. I'm off to wrap up my nice smooth pireced cock with cling film.

My girl doesn't seem to care one way or another. She used to shave, but to be honest it was only cool the first night. After that stubble city.
I only wish there was a way to do it without worrying about the grow back affect quite so soon.
