1.

F40s

Define “pubic hair” – does this indicat that genitals are also partially exposed? Some men are more husute [? illegable] than others – sorry this question is too vague for me to answer.

2.

M40s

Men have pubic hair everywhere.

3.

F30s

 It’s against the law!

4.

M30s  

 Define “pubic hair”. A man’s “treasure trail” can muddy the waters here. How about “X” inches below the navel.

5.

F20-25 

 Gross!

6.

F20-25 

 Not appropriate, nobody wants to see that.

7.

M20-25 

 If its exposing mans privates then yes.

8.

F20

 Gross!
