I don't wax, but I'll do some maintenance down there.
I prefer trimmed trim, but appreciate all kinds.
I just opened my birthday card from the FiL. Picture of a kitten on it. Yep. Oh well, there was a $100 gift card which I sorely need.

I don't think body hair falls in the "body parts" category.
It's more an accessory than a part.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, it's a body part, but it grows. I mean, I cut (and dye) the hair on my head and on my legs, so it ain't that big a jump. Is that like removing an eye? I trim my nails for hygeine and convenience--is that like removing an eye?
I tried the waxing thing but the ingrown hairs and the expense and itching made it so not worth it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I know a lot of men who would never consider waxing/trimming/shaving and yet think women should.I'm all for people doing what feels good and makes them feel attractive and whatnot, but the thing that got up my nose about this particular flamewar was the number of people insisting that a goolie with any visible hair, even if it was kept scrupulously clean and neatly trimmed, was just inherently too disgusting to touch. Not that I wanted to side with the "preferring nude goolies=pedophilia" people, but there was just something mildly creepy about being so thoroughly grossed out by a bit of hair that really serves mainly to indicate that the goolie on which it's growing is at or very near sexual maturity. Even a clean, tidy bit of hair. There were under-30 guys swearing they'd lose their erections or want to vomit if they were fooling around with a woman and suddenly she revealed herself to have Hair Down There.
Shaving and grooming, either gender, for the fun of it? Cool! Finding a totally normal indicator of sexual maturity viscerally repellent? Slightly less cool.

Addemdum to above post. I don't, um, dye the hair on my legs.

Curiously, that's the very thing that kept John Ruskin a virgin.

Also, your husband is not supposed to be there in the labor room, in case he never wants to have sex with you again. (There was an article about this in the New York Times, I shit you not.)
It's true. This is why no human couple has ever had more than one child.
(Speaking of which, can I have some stay-asleep-ma for Baby D? He's making up for letting me go to brunch yesterday by being a little cling-monster and refusing to sleep for more than ten minutes at a time if I'm not holding him. I've finally gotten him to lay down in the Amby and sleep - fingers are crossed that he's finally decided to take a real nap!)

Oh, fuck. If there's any chance at all my dad is lurking here, y'all will have to excuse me while I go kill myself. A lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't count hair as a body part either. Makes a haircut sound like amputation, which is a bit melodramatic.
it is totally possible to be wearing a thong and accidentally catch your trouser/dress material in your buttcrack
Whuhuh? Either I have no idea what you mean or I've been blessed with my thong wearing. Where exactly do you ride public transport (that l is important)?
I'd think it's pretty clear that thongs give less VPL and possibly none. The downside is comfort, and well, that's not my problem if I'm not the one wearing them.
