A few evidence-based theories as to what pubic hair might be for
Photo: Photo Illustration by Stevie Remsberg/Photo Getty Though you’d be hard-pressed to reach adulthood without having absorbed dozens and dozens of sometimes-contradictory and often unsolicited opinions on pubic hair and what to do with it, it’s not surprising if you still don’t know why you have it in the first place. While there exists some research on pubic hair preferences, there is very little to be found on its purpose.
But does that mean that removing one’s pubic hair also removes one’s protection? Sort of, says Dardik. “We know removal doesn’t cause any significant problems for women, as long as it’s done in a hygienic, proper way,” she says. It’s that last part that’s key — removing pubic hair can cause abrasions, irritation, and even infection, but it’s the removal itself that does it, says Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN and author of the upcoming book The Vagina Bible.
“A lot of people really don’t believe that pheromones are a big part of the way we reproduce anymore,” adds Gunter. As a result, she says “I don’t really emphasize that component.”Ultimately, it’s up to you, says Dardik. “It’s very much a woman’s choice. Pubic hair has not caused any problems throughout the ages and it doesn’t cause any problems currently,” she says.
