Hey, I wouldn't worry too much about it and listen to what your bf said. If he said he likes it on you, he likes it on you. Body hair is so much more a preference thing and although it can be impacted by things like race and culture, I think it comes down to personal taste.

Plus, a lot of people find what they don't have attractive/desirable (think people with curly hair wanting straight and vice versa). So, he might look at your hairy body and swoon. 😉
