Hairy!!

So I've been with my SO for two months now but prior to getting into a relationship we were friends for 1 1/2 years. So he's super hairy which the chest hair and such doesn't bother me. But his back is hairy and it somewhat bothers me. We (well I) keep making slight jokes and serious comments about shaving or waxing it. He kind of laughs about it. I don't know what to do anymore! I love him to pieces and all but the back hair kind of bothers me a little bit. Any advice on what to do?
