Is there any health benefit to having pubic hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: Pubic hair or the lack of pubic hair is mostly about asthetics. There are some studies that try to conclude that pubic hair has a functiond during intercourse or that pubic hair holds phermones that attract partners, but i haven't found any that were reproducible (reliable). Keep your pubic area in the condition that you and your partner like. Be careful with removal methods & infections.
