Male/female I dont care, providing they know what they're doing,lol. I know this is how my oh feels too. I've never heard of it being painful when your bikini line grows back after birth, I never experienced this when I had my daughter. When she was born she was a week early and I hadnt shaved for a few days, so there I was in early stages of labour quickly shaving my legs and lady garden before I would let oh take me to the hospital. Definitely made me feel a bit more at ease, but this time I aim to be prepared,lol!
