What is the point of pubic hair?

What I want to know is why the hair on our heads grows indefinitely, but I've never had to cut my pubic hair, yet I'm not tripping over it.

Well, I've heard some believe it 's there as a layer of protection against germs and other such things that may enter a vagina, but I can't see how that would be of benefit to males. Maybe the hair attracted mites that we had symbiotic relationships with (we give the mites a place to live, so long as they keep it clean).

I do remember hearing something that genitals start out more like vaginas, then either remain vaginas, or grow into penis'. (The penis head and frenum being remnants of clitoral hoods and clitoris', as well, the 'line' on a man's 'taint being remnants of labia, and testicles being re-purposed ovaries).

It can't be for warmth, because testicles hang for the reason of being able to be cooler then the rest of the body, which I guess is needed for sperm production.

As well, seeing as other primates use grooming for strengthening social bonds, maybe early humans needed the "hey baby, I'll check your pubic hair for parasites if you check mine...."

As for the scent, I think that has to play a part as well. We can all smell pheremones, just they are not recognized consiously as 'smells'. Animals that sniff others (ie. males that sniff females) usually do so to indicate when the female is in heat. Humans reproduce year round, so we don't need to sniff for the right time.

What it probably was, was the pubic hair of the male trapped his pheremones, when he had sex with his women, his scent got transferred to the females pubic hair. This 'marked' the female as the property of that male, as a warning to other males.

(Housecats produce pheremones on the sides of their faces, and some believe that when they rub their heads against you, they are claiming ownership of you).

BTW. Not everybody has curly pubic hair.

Isn't that a Go-Go's song?

Probably because of the un-hygenic, and hard life of the early humans caused unhealthy head hair to break, so that we needed to constantly replenish it. Like fingernails, and skin cells.

I've also heard, that when our ancestors ate uncooked meat, our back molars wore out by the time they were young adults, making the growth of new molars (wisdom teeth) necessary.

That's 'cause I had a crush on them. What's your excuse?

Our lips are sealed.

Well, especially Jane Weidlin's...or YOURS!

To tickle my nose?

OMG, that sounded so lame.

Allow me to translate:

There is no point to having pubic hair, which is why I just had it all torn off.

a little stubbles good for me. whe nyou stretch and your t-shirt up it gives the ladies a treat

Be careful! I learned my lesson and now trim, never shave.
My teacher? :
- ingrown hairs and an itch I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

For social status.
"Check it dude - i got stank on my hang-down"

i'm fairly certain it's to keep your business all warm, and for shaving for hardcore easy access.

Hair hangs out where you lose lots of heat. There's a lot of blood at the armpits and groin because of the major veins and arteries that run into your limbs. Obviously, it also grows where we have the most scent glands. Like everything else in life, it serves more than one purpose. It's also been said that the hair on a man's face is there to trap scent. Animals spend a fair amount of time smelling each other, jamming their noses into each other's nether regions (probably yours too.) Males of any species are always on the hunt for the next attractive female to impregnate. Most female animals (I'm speaking of the ones I worked with on the farm (dogs, cats, cows, horses, pigs) really just stand around and wait for the males to start pestering them for sex when they're in heat...
As far as pheremones go, I haven't yet seen conclusive proof that we're totally unable to respond to them as humans.

No, I'm not a fan of hair...

Me too. That war was hell on all of us.
