Everything you did (or didn't) want to know about the hair down there.
As humans, we spend a large portion of our lives shaving . We spend an even larger portion of our lives dreading, avoiding, or attempting to shave our pubic hair . For men in particular, the practice of intimate grooming is one that's kind of confusing, a catch-22 of too hairy or not hairy enough. Question number one: why the hell do we even shave down there in the first place?
It's likely that you have your fair share of questions about your hair below the belt, questions that you've never even deigned to Google, let alone ask a professional.
The following FAQ attempts to answer everything you didn’t know and didn’t realize you needed to know about your pubic hair. You've been warned: once you've got the info, you can't un-know these things. Godspeed.
We talked to a lot of doctors, dermatologists, hair specialist, urologists, and pubic hair enthusiasts trying to find the answer. Most of them had no idea, and a few had educated guesses.
Marc Glashofer , a dermatologist and fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, claims that the texture of pubic hair tends to be thicker and more coarse than hair on the rest of our body because of its origins as a buffer.
“It prevents friction during intercourse that can cause skin abrasion and rashes,” he says. “More importantly, pubic hair serves as protection against bacteria and other pathogens.”
As for the curliness of pubes, Brian Steixner , M.D., Director of the Institute of Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City, suspects it’s because curly hair does a better job at trapping the pheromones secreted from sweat glands around the groin area.
In fact, it's theorized that nearly three million years ago, when human beings were still walking around half-naked, a nice pungent odor wafting up from your junk was actually considered an aphrodisiac.
That’s one way to look at it, yes. It was also how your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparent announced to a mate that they were sexually mature enough to procreate, says Andrew Thompson , author of What Did We Use Before Toilet Paper?: 200 Curious Questions and Intriguing Answers .
“Some anthropologists have suggested that pubic hair in males might have been an ancient way of impressing and deterring other males who were in competition with them,” says Thompson. “Similar to a lion’s mane.”
Robin Weiss , a Professor of Viral Oncology at University College London, proposed another interesting animal-based theory in the 2010 issue of the Journal of Biology .
According to Weiss, the coarse, thick texture of our pubes is evolutionarily similar to that of gorillas. And phthirus pubis — or as you probably know it, “crabs” — is something we acquired, in Weiss’ words, "probably directly from gorillas."
“Because [crabs] were already adapted to the coarse body hair of the gorilla,” Weiss wrote in his study, "crabs would have found a suitable niche in human pubic hair.”
The pests may have found their way to humans who ate gorillas and came into regular contact with gorilla carcasses, which made it possible for crabs to make the leap and feel right at home on humans' gorilla-esque pubes.
Shampooing isn’t necessary, says Ricardo Mejia , M.D., a dermatologist from Jupiter, Florida. A little soap and water is more than enough.
"The shampoos these days are used to maximize volume in the hair, to give it excellent shine and bounce," he says. "Unless you are a pubic hair model, I don’t see why it is necessary to shampoo."
Most pubes grow between half an inch and 1.5 inches, according to Steixner.
But if the Illustrated Book of Sexual Records — published in 1983 by G. L. Simons — is to be believed, a young lady named Maoni Vi of Cape Town, South Africa once possessed pubic hair that dangled down to her knees. According to the book, her hair reached 28 inches.
As Glashofer reminds us, “Each hair follicle on our body is genetically programmed to have different growth cycles which influences the hair length... The hairs of the pubic region have been biologically programmed to grow only to a certain length.”
Your crotch will not start balding as dramatically as it happens on your head. As you age and your testosterone decreases, usually in your 50s, you’ll start to notice things are a little less bushy down there.
“It’s a slow progressive loss,” Steixner explains. “It’s not so much balding as a progressive thinning of hair until it appears to be almost non-existent.”
A 2013 study conducted by the University of California San Diego found that between 2002 and 2010, groin shaving mishaps requiring emergency room visits increased five-fold between 2002 and 2010. With the dangers involved, is it any wonder that pubic hair may be making a comeback ?
In 83 percent of penile injuries, there was a razor involved. Scissors were responsible for 22 percent of the balls-bleeding. And hot wax accounted for less than 2 percent of reported ER visits. Which is still a lot, if you think about it.
“The skin on the scrotum is very unique in that it has nooks and crannies,” says Steixner. “Those areas have been proven to trap huge amounts of bacteria. When you shave that pubic area, even a minor cut or laceration can cause bacteria to get inside there, and can very easily cause cellulitis, abscesses, and in very rare conditions, something called Fournier gangrene.”
If you thought about Googling Fournier gangrene, don't. Steixner calls it “flesh eating bacteria of the balls.”
Steixner tells us that the condition is actually “quite common."
"I see it once every three months," Steixner says. "And it’s not a joke. I’ve seen people die from this.”
It happens primarily in people with weakened immune systems, like severe diabetics or HIV carriers. But in some cases, it can happen to perfectly healthy guys.
“It starts with a knick to a hair follicle during shaving,” Steixner says. “A very specific bacteria gets under the skin, and it travels fast. It basically starts to eat away at all the skin.”
In the end, the treatment isn't pretty.
"We have to surgically remove all of the skin on a man’s scrotum," Steixner says.
If you insist on a shorn scrotum, Steixner recommends going for an electric razor over a straight razor. There are a few tools that can help aid you in your hair-free journey.
But before you get going, here’s a word of warning from Steixner:
"It’s Friday night," he says. "You’re getting ready to head out and maybe meet some girls. You’re in the shower, and you decide, what the heck, I’ll give the boys a quick shave. The next thing you know, it’s Sunday, and you’re in the ER with no nuts."
Use caution when it comes to your pubes. Always.

What Do Guys Think Of Pubic Hair? I Grew A Bush To Find Out By Betches Staff | February 9, 2018

Everything about the 90’s is coming back right now: Choker necklaces. Jean skirts. John Stamos. People are essentially dressing like Bruno Mars, but unironically. Also, the bush is maybe coming back in style? No, not the George W. kind. (I’m talking about pubic hair.) In the 70’s and 80’s, it was all about the apple bottoms jeans and cooch with the fur. In the 90’s, women would trim and clip-clip-hooray. By the early 2000’s it was the landing strip, which also served as an arrow saying “come on down!” in a Bob Barker voice.
Then the dot com boomed happened, and porn was no longer something men stumbled upon by finding an old Playboy magazine with the pages stuck together. Millennial men learned how to have sex from Kim Kardashian and Ray J, which actually explains a lot now that I think about it.
It’s estimated that around 25% of all internet searches are for porn . Why is this relevant? Because of the rapid rise of internet porn, directors started having their talent shave everything down to baby smoothness. It started out as a visibility issue, because if you remember the late 90s and early 2000s, online video wasn’t exactly HD. But with bald bits, audiences could clearly see every salacious angle.
So boys grew up jacking it to fully exposed clitorises (yet can never seem to find them). Eventually, they went from Boyz to Men and grew up expecting women to mimic their porny counterparts. We fucking did it for some reason, and didn’t question how weird it was—like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s friendship.
Anyway, six weeks ago I put down the razor, saved the bikini wax money, and grew out a bush. Note to all bushy betches looking to try this at home: it takes well over a month to really get the bird’s nest aesthetic, or at least it did for me.
Next came the highly scientific experiment: What would guys think of my bush? I’ve gone through wintertime dick cleanses where my leg hair was long enough to donate to Locks of Love, but this was the first time I had really had left my grass uncut in a decade. My semi-slutty sorority days are long gone, so it’s not like Chad from Sig Ep (who has Pornhub as his homepage) is going to give a shit. The guys I’m dating are in their late twenties and early thirties. I learned they like their woman to look like just that—a woman.
No guys said anything about my furry wonder down under while we were fooling around, but I brought it up during pillow talk. You know, romance. I was slightly nervous before the big bush debut, but I also knew no man was going to be super into me and suddenly change his mind and decline his exclusive invite to club shrub.
The first time was late at night and the lights were mostly off, so the big reveal wasn’t that dramatic. I’m sure he felt a difference, but he was a happy camper. The next time, the guy started fingering me with my jeans still on and tried to be sexy and said, “oh, you have hair down there. I’m low-key into that.” One guy actually said he liked it better than fully shaved, because the resulting stumble is apparently unpleasant when he’s down there doing the Lord’s work.
The verdict is in: one dude said he was a little surprised but definitely happy with it, one dude thought it made me super cool and confident, and one dude might have a fetish he’s not owning up to. They all kept calling though.
Verdict: I suggest experimenting with hair down there as much as you did with purple eyeshadow in the seventh grade.

Pubic hair: Love it or hate it, we all have it -- unless we've removed it. And that means we all have opinions about it.
Though men's grooming habits are slowly becoming part of the pubic hair conversation, it's women's grooming routines that are most often under the microscope. At The Huffington Post, we're firm believers that everyone should groom (or not groom) for themselves, no matter what anyone else thinks.
That said, it's always interesting to find out what men's preferences are when it comes to hair down there. So, we teamed up with AskMen.com and conducted a survey , asking over 5,000 dudes about their pubic hair predilection. Below, we compiled the responses and a few standout comments into an infographic created by our own Jessica Kane . Scroll all the way to the bottom for our thoughts on the matter.
Interestingly, 84 percent of the men surveyed had a preference when it came to a woman's pubic hair, but only 9 percent would end a date or sex because of a women's grooming habits -- so they must not care all that much. And of the men polled, a whopping 88 percent do some grooming of their own. It looks like men's pubic hair could soon be an even hotter topic than women's.
But at the end of the day, this is how women feel about men's pubic hair preferences:
The survey was conducted on AskMen.com from May 28- June 1, 2015. A total of 5,199 men were surveyed. The age breakdown was as follows: Under 18 (1.77 percent), between 18-24 (21.91 percent), between 25-34 (32.6 percent), between 35-44 (21.91 percent), between 45-64 (20.10 percent) and over 65 (1.71 percent).

Men Overwhelmingly Prefer Women With NO Pubic Hair (Says Sad New Survey)
Men Overwhelmingly Prefer Women With NO Pubic Hair (Says Sad New Survey)
By Jeena French — Written on May 02, 2017
If you're a single woman who never gets a phone or a text after having sex with a guy you've been dating for some time, chances are that he wasn't just using you — it just might he didn't like the way you groom your vagina .
I know it sounds kind of crazy, but it does make for an interesting way to explain why you're still single.
You've now got a reason. You can blame your pubes .
When it comes to pubic hair and vaginas , and how much you dare to bare, especially if you're into men under the age of 40, it matters.
The odds are stacking against the natural woman who dares to go full bush, or maybe even just half a bush.
Sadly, the modern male, who might not have an opinion on your outfit, definitely cares how your vagina looks, and we're not talking camel toe.
Nope. When it comes down to getting freaky, hairy is out, and smooth is in.
That's right, ladies. hairy vaginas are the ultimate turn off for a man , and recent findings prove it.
In a recent survey of 4,146 males ages of 18 and 35 taken from Cosmopolitan's social media accounts , Esquire's Twitter, and AskMen's Facebook, men revealed that they are very particular about the way their partners groom their lady bits .
Most men, no matter how much they love your mind or personality, are unwilling to compromise when it comes to their woman's vagina. And, most of them want it naked with nothing in the way of their next greatest meal.
Of the males who reported liking pubic hair neatly trimmed, they also shared that the degree of hair present on their labia could, and very well would be a dating deal breaker!
So single ladies, if your hair is long enough to break through the fabric of your panties, or as a waxer would warn, longer than the size of a grain of rice, it's too long for most men.
There are certainly more pros than cons to keeping things less hairy in your land down under, especially if you live in a warmer or humid climate.
Less hair means less sweat, but at the same time, shaving and waxing aren't considered the best practice for a happy vagina.
And if you've ever been to a waxer, it's not exactly pain-free. Ouch! Pubic hair provides a natural layer of protection for women and keeps the labia from getting a rash. So, for women who are prone to sensitive skin, there might not be a choice, the hair must be there.
Apparently, women are adapting to what males want, and risking their own vaginal health in spite of it all.
In fact, another recent study on pubic hair grooming released last year published by JAMA Dermatology revealed that 83.8 percent of women between the ages of 18 to 65 groom their hair regularly — a number that is on the rise — with the majority of those women being between the ages of 18 to 34.
I guess it's a man's world after all.
Which makes you wonder if the men finding women who don't meet their pubic grooming preference are simply unlucky for the moment — sorry, fellas!
The truth is that there really is a stigma about female body hair, and the survey shows that American women are obsessed with being hairless, when compared to women in some other countries who never shave at all.
The bottom line is for women in new relationships who have wondered how to groom yourself for that special overnight date with your new boyfriend — shaving it all off is in your favor.
You don't have to ask what he likes. Chances are, he very well may be within the majority of males who prefer nude to hairy.
And, if you tell him you forgot to shave just when things are at the next level, he just might really mind, even if he says he doesn't.
But, you have enough to worry than whether or not your pubic hair meets his standards. Do what makes you happy, and most comfortable.
If he doesn't accept you the way that you are, trust me, there's someone out there who will, hair and all.
