If you ask your SO to shave, the I think you're SO has every right to ask you to shave as well. Only fair.

A bleached winker is a happy winker.

I wax, but not everything. I hate the bare feeling and my bf loves it with a little something.

I would NEVER shave it. *shudder*

Man and yes. If I didn't I would be going around with a bulge in my speedos that would leave nothing to the imagination.

The problem I have is getting the ole berries nice and bare. I need to be like a yoga master to get them that way.

I don't currently but I have before. If I was going out with a girl who wanted it "neater" down there I wouldn't mind going back to shaving it.

Isn't it on the painful side to wax the pubic regions, regardless of gender? And doesn't it carry some degree of health risk as well?

It is a bit uncomfortable, but the "stingingness" goes away quickly. The more you do it, the less it hurts.
If things are done in a sanitary way, by a professional, then it is not a problem. I know there is that photo going around of some gal with a bad job where it is infected, but that is a rare occurance.

My gf shaves but she thinks it's weird for men to shave. It's still a jungle down there.

Don't be lazy, if she can shave her legs and beaver, you can shave your face and around the pickle tree.
