I find I am lot more into licking as the years have passed. Was meeting a regular friend most of last year and she absolutley loved being eaten, and would cum very noisily multiple times before I was allowed to stop!
I do prefer a smooth genital area on both parties - I depilate myself regularly. A landing strip is sometimes a nice compromise, but in the end its not going to be a deal breaker unless I need to bring a scythe to bed
