Question for the ladies?

by wondering

I have a question for the ladies. I am not trying to be rude of forward but have always wondered. Why do women shave their pubic hair or just leave a small patch? I understand why the legs and underarms but why the pubic hair. There is nothing softer than long hair against the pubic hair and have only seen one set of pictures a couple of years ago at ntcweb. Thank you.

I hope this does not offend any body.
