My wife and I have been married for 32 years. She has been trimmed or shaved for as long as I can remember. Including the 4 years we dated prior to marriage. Why? Contrary to the first commenter, it's certainly nothing to do with with looking more attractive for me or to mimic a porn star or the lame excuse of "corporate" influence. No big business brought about this decision. For her it is much more comfortable, cool (as in temperature not fashoinable) and she prefers the smooth/clean feeling. She shaves her legs, pits, and with a just few additional strokes includes her pubic region. She has been in the medical profession for over thirty years and to my knowledge, this has never resulted in any health issue. I know she has recommended shaving to our daughters and has mentioned it to her friends/co-workers.
I certainly wouldn't impose my taste upon her in this regard to appeal to my aesthetics (although I admit I do prefer this look and feel). She shaves her pubic hair for the same reason I shave my beard. Comfort.
Finally, there are plenty of great women role models around. Women can and do find them. I find it demeaning (OK, acually stupid) for some man to suppose a woman would make this choice after having selected a porn star as their role model.
