Dear Prudence,
My partner normally gets their bikini line professionally waxed and, due to the pandemic, has been unable to go to those appointments. They do not want to shave because of the potential for razor burn and infection. I hate myself for saying this, but—I really, really don’t like the grown-out hair. For a variety of reasons, it’s turning me off during key moments, and I find myself dreading sex. I know this is 100 percent the patriarchy speaking, but I can’t help this preference! What should I do or say to help remedy this?
