I prefer shaved simply because it minimizes the sweat/BO that are pretty much inescapable for most of the year in South Texas. It's more work for me, but it's not as much work as pre-washing the underarms of my shirts so they don't stain. I shave the legs, too, but less often.

I'm not into body hair that much, anyway, on anybody. My last boyfriend had nice soft, blond, unobtrusive body hair.
