For me, trying to remove pubic hair always resulted in skin rashes and discomfort, followed by the discomfort of the stubbly hair as it grows back. Thank god I stopped that nonsense years ago.

Q: Why do people grow pubic hair? A: Hair can be seen as the watch tower of the immune system. Notice before puberty we do not produce as much sweat and fat, so infections can hardly develop, but after puberty, arm pits and genitals are full of hormones, sweat and high temperatures, the perfect place for bacteria and fungus to grow. Hair gives the immune system the possibility to reach out with more efficiency. Hairs carry small amounts of anti-bodies, which can anticipate the presence of infections. People who shave frequently tend to develop skin infections, as well as std's more frequently Q: Why is pubic hair curly? A: Curly hair is good at containing what is inside in, and cushion what comes from the outside since it's long and covers a small surface. It's good at keeping anti-bodies on the skin and slowing the advance of infections.

The guy with booger kids (5-12) should be able to have good learning on sex ed, about puberty, everything literally its good to know hygene and proctection, why you have it , and comfort when going through this process (anyone should!) .I agree little little kids 1-7 shouldnt know about sex but once they hit 9-10 they deserve to have the basic knowledge ! It can really improve their future and being able to know things can help them lots when growing up and its extremely comforting knowing that you arent alone through this process and you arent bad or disgusting for having body changes. Please normalize being informed! And it isnt taboo learning about the things and changes we go through.

First: Some parents may be uncomfortable with the topic being introduced to their children. Younger viewers, I would imagine, is a term that applies to those who aren't even about to hit puberty, so putting warning there is a non-issue. The warning isn't hurting anyone. Second: Neither me nor my girlfriend cared about pubic hair when we were dating, and she would shave occasionally but I never required that of her. I've met a lot of people who practically freak out about it though. It's like people have a phobia of hair.

Hair cross-section is not a circle. At least not for all races. Asians have a roundish cross-section - that's why they have straight hair, that can be difficult to style. Black people have a flattened oval cross-section - that's why they have very curly hair. Europeans' hair is the combination of the two. We have a kind of rounded-triangle cross-section and it varies greatly from person to person. Also our hair is much finer, than the other two, about half the diameter of the other two. That's why Europeans have lots of various hair styles.

It’s also unnatural to clip our toenails and fingernails, cut and style the hair on our head, shave our legs and faces, etc. Seems to me that there isn’t much to the argument that Pubes are natural so therefore they shouldn’t be trimmed, waxed, or shaved.
@lordnessa5893
@lordnessa5893 3 года назад
He didn’t spoke about trimming. It’s only if you completely remove it from above your skin. Trimming it doesn’t affect it much, like cutting your nails and other hair. Or I hope so for you, it would be horrible to have skin problems when you go to the hair dresser. As pubic hair are in a moist area, if you shave it, some have a lot of problems when it grows back. And pubic hair doesn’t have the same function as nails and other hairs.

I've always been very hairy in the most perfect of ways. Lots of it on my chest, armpits, on top of my head and on my face and around my belly button, arms and legs. A little on my shoulders at the tops of my arms. And that's it. None on my back on butt or biceps or anything. Even the distribution is perfect. Except for maybe a strong widows peak. But I'm kind of okay with that, because my hairline is still very strong at 28 (with some regrowth from going No Poo), and my hair is wavy, so it poofs out to hide it anyway. Plus, the look is distinctintive for my ancestral background, and completes my facial features quite well...esp once I grow my hair in! I LOVE ALL OF MY HAIRS BY A LOT!!!!

I Hypothesize that hair under our arms and between our buttocks, is to reduce friction. This is also what the pubic hair patch is for during sex. To reduce friction against each other in missionary position. Without it our skin sticks together and gets rashy, red & sore from friction & sweat (which can grow fungal infections).. Hair kind of allows sliding between skin in high friction areas. Even stopping our own genital and skin down there from sticking together, and to move more freely. That's my take on why we have hair down there, or even why we didn't lose it from those high friction, sweaty, hot areas between skin. It makes the most sense, and it works. You will know if you have shaved armpits, that your skin sticks together. Or had missionary sex with a person with a waxed or stubbly pubic bone hair patch. That hair is there to reduce friction between hot, sticky skin. Friction patches where are surfaces of skin can rub, seem to have hair. Think about it. Cheers.

I read the reason was because of the face to face sexual intercourse. The hair reduces uncomfortable friction on the skin at the groin. Same reason for the armpits - the friction of swinging your arms when walking or other movements is eased by the hair.

This video seems biased towards not waxing. Although I agree shaving with a blade has several risks, waxing in Brazil, at least, is a very hygienic method: the wax is disposable and anti-septic anti-allergic cleansers and wipes are used afterwards. In addition, there is evidence that at least in really hot countries, waxing prevents overheating of pubic areas, thus preventing recurrent yeast infection.

Same. Don’t know if you’re male or female, but I’m a male who has less arm and leg hair than many women. I also have straight and not curly pubes, although mine are short not long. As I get older I have even less body hair. Judging from all the hassle people seem to go through to get rid of it I’m pretty happy about it.

My theory for pubic hair is heat retention. Think about it, Where does your body lose heat the fastest? Head, arm pits, groin. Where does your body hair grow the thickest? Head, arm pits, groin. Second to that, it hold to oils and pheromones, and offers a place for bacteria to breed, which, in turn, makes you stink. If we had pubic hair for the three stated reasons at 2:27 - 2:48, why don't we have a full coat of fur?

Pubic lice are slowly going extinct because people are keeping it nice and tidy "downstairs". The same goes for intestinal parasites because of today's high food quality. I once talked to a biologist working at my university who had received a petition from the head of her department if anyone would be willing to give a bunch of homeless tapeworms a place to live for the sake of biological diversity. Needless to say, I doubt he got too many answers.

2:39. it also catches urine and feces (and blood in case of women). Keeping dirt, bacteria, urine, feces, and sometimes blood hanging around your genitalia for as long as it takes for you to shower again*. I would say that the bacteria from all those sources isn't going to be blocked away by some hair. * I said "shower" because that is the only time people properly clean that area, because wiping is only drying the wet part, taking some of the solid part, and smearing whatever's left on yourself.

@Thaisolo
@Thaisolo 8 лет назад
I gotta say I'm dissapointed with the video. I feel like it is against shaving pubic hair as it gives silly reasons for shaving (like the one with "smaller" clothes"). There are 2 major pros of shaving pubics off: 1. Sweat - when you do sweat, it all lies in this hair and if you can't take a shower shortly after u perspirated then you are gonna stink. Shaving the hair let's you make sure that the antiperspirant u use will be enough to get you through the day before you hit the shower. 2. Sweat again :D - men In the summer, when it's hot and u must wear jeans f.e. ur balls are gonna sweat and it's so nasty and feels so bad to have it all sticky down there. Without the hair, it feels like you have more space for the skin to breathe and just feels more hygienic. 3. The looks - that ofc is very much a matter of tastes, but for me and most of people these days, pubic hair are not attractive. Specially in women ofc but also in man.

@martinpaulsen1592

Interesting example here of using proportional versus absolute statistics. You describe a "fivefold increase" in pubic hair removal injuries, which sounds dire, but then state the absolute number: 1700 in one year in the US - which still comes to only around one in one thousand. Later, though, for the drop in pubic lice (small sample and probable self-selection bias aside), only the absolute drop (0.5% to 0.15%) is given. Both absolute numbers are small enough to be going on with, but a 70% drop in infestation is quite an improvement.

Not sure why so many producers of videos think it necessary to add background 'music' to their videos. Maybe if the 'music' didn't distract from the message it would be OK. But in a case as this do you really need background noise that sort of sounds like a roaring 20's flapper gig? How does that even approximate aiding us learn about pubes? Leave the music out please; your audience will pay attention better without all the unnecessary distraction.
