I can like both: it depends on the person. And a golden mean (not too much, not too little) is always great. 
Some people say that there is an intense erotic delight one can get from absolutely smooth lovers. I understand this in the sense that nothing gets in the way. And one does not have to manuever gingerly around -- as in the case of beards, for instance. But there are also carnal delights that one can enjoy with hirsute partners -- also of a tactile and sensory nature.
Let us just say that I dislike people who completely shave all their body hair as much as I disapprove of people who are much too hairy.
The golden mean, of course. But the reality is, we fall in love with a soul, not with a hairy or not-hairy chest. And it's just totally individual, as is everything, what we like sensually in a lover's body.
And don't get me, as a woman, on the subject of shaving off hair. I mean, people see a man with hair on his legs and under his arms and say, nice. They see a woman with her natural hair on her legs and underarms and say, eeww. How dumb. Why should women pretend they don't have hair? If you're a swimmer, though, men or women, go ahead and shave. But I said don't get me on it.
And back on-topic: I love Jake's hair, all of it everywhere.
