Hair...Down There

So I shave my girly parts and I was just curious if I stopped shaving and let it grow out for awhile, would the hair still be really course and prickly or would it eventually soften out? Because usually after you shave any part of your body like your legs or beards for men, the newly surfacing hair is rather rough. I was just wondering because A) My man suggested I stopped shaving down there and B) wouldn't sex be uncomfortable if it's basically like a cactus??
