Of course, I love the variety of textures and colours. I feel a bit sorry for women who have hair almost reaching their tummy buttons because it must be a bit difficult to find general acceptance.
Running the Erotic Awards, you must have come across a lot of erotica. What have been the weirdest / sexiest or best muff displays you've seen?
Actually one of the funniest things was Annie Sprinkle at the ICA doing an autobiographic performance. She showed photos of her in porn and then lifted her dress up to expose a full bush. The audience roared with laughter. Also, the latest book by Nicholson Baker (who wrote the popular book Vox) House of Holes includes the view that to be truly naked, you need a full growth of pubic hair.
What style are your pubes?
Shaved to leave the labia hair-free.
How have your pubes changed over the years?
Mostly unshaven, except near upper leg when swimwear came up high at the sides, till a couple of decades or so ago, then the current style. I once pulled a guy at a nightclub in Birmingham and, back in my hotel, he wanted to shave everything off. I agreed and we had a great night. Next day, I was due to check out a nudists' swim further north for the Sex Maniac's Diary. When I arrived, I was the only woman there. I stood at the side of the pool naked, no pubes and miniscule titties, and felt really vulnerable — it seemed I'd created paedo-paradise !

Fashion, porn influence, men don't like getting hair between their teeth, a dislike of what is natural, finding it animal, tribal, old-world, perhaps (which is why I like it).
Do you wish there were more pubes in porn?
Yes, I wish porno could become more natural and realistic, rather than fake and formulaic.
Any tips for playing with pubes?
I don't really like having mine played with, rather like the discomfort of having a new parting. Unless you mean planting one in someone's ice cream ? Or being creative with your own pubes with ribbons and dye?
Anything else to add?
I was thinking lately that catching crabs must be the downfall of many a adulterer who takes all safer sex precautions but then find they've infected the whole family. That would take some explaining. A good reason to be honest.
