For one, you shouldn't do something that everyone else is doing. Only do it if you're okay with it. Shaving your down there is personal matter only. That is only something you should know about.
Secondly, you can shave while alleviating the bumps. Shave the same direction the hair is going, and shave very lightly. Use sensitive skin shaving gel (like skintimate with aloe).
Give it a few more days so the redness can go down, then try again.
Keep shaving lightly, and gradually shave it off for a few days. So when you have no hair, you can keep shaving it easily without irritation. You can use some baby powder to reduce chaffing and itching, and/or some gold bond or aveeno lotion. That always helps me.
For right now, get some lotion, and rub it until you feel better.
For the last portion, it is normal to shave without being sexually active.

you CAN shave it, but heres some advice on that
1st, use really good shave gel, a make sure its lathered up pretty good.
2nd, the most comfortable way is to use a SINGLE BLADE razor. using 4 or 5 blade razors is great for your legs, but not so good when doing tender areas like your bikini line.
3rd, using the single blade razor, do short strokes, VERY short strokes. and rinse off the razor to keep it clean after every 4 stokes or so.
and DONT push down too hard. this is very tender skin and irritating it, as you have realized, is very painful.
do these things and the shaving should turn out much easier and less painful.
be careful though, because just like your nose hair, your pubic hair serves a purpose. Its there to keep certain germs and stuff from getting into your vagina. dont shave it every time hair grows back out, let it grow out at least a centimeter or two before you shave again.
and keeping lotion on it after you shave, it seems to help keep it from being to itchy or burning.
hope this helps!!!!
