Not only less safe, but less comfortable as well! Stubble rubbing against stubble in that area isn’t fun.
Comment on Men against bush

Bush is a design feature, it prevents micro-cuts an abrasions and stops abrasions coming in skin to skin transmission. Our bodies have pubic hair to prevent direct contact/transmission of fluids. It’s not a mistake.
…shaving it off makes sex less safe. It’s literally part of sexual health to have some.

This is far from certain but is one hypothesis. Another one is that, like armpit hair it traps scent molecules (mm mmm!) to make you smell sexy.
In any case, like the rest of the hair on our bodies, we’ve been styling it for millennia (my phone suggested: stroking it, which is probably also true) and probably won’t suffer if we get rid of it.
One practical benefit of shaving pubic hair is immunity against pubic lice!
