For reasons of aesthetics and hygiene, modern people often remove pubic hair. But have you ever thought about the function of pubic hair? What are the consequences of hair removal? Today, Xiaoxue will unveil the secrets of pubic hair.
Main Functions of Pubic Hair

In the course of human evolution, the most important function of pubic hair is to "protect the genitals". The curly texture of pubic hair provides cushioning during sexual activities and reduces friction.
In ancient times, where underwear and pants didn't exist to protect the lower body, the protective role of pubic hair was crucial. It prevented insect bites, sunburn, regulated the temperature of the intimate area, and offered protection against wind and dust.
However, in modern times, various styles of trousers and underwear provide sufficient protection, making the need for pubic hair less relevant. For some, this makes the removal of pubic hair a choice driven by aesthetics.
Trimming is More Ideal

Modern medical concepts suggest trimming pubic hair, but not completely shaving it off.
The reason is that moderate trimming not only makes one look more appealing in swimwear and provides more choices, but it also prevents poor hygiene that can lead to inflammation or infections, or diseases that could go unnoticed due to the coverage of pubic hair.
Completely shaving off pubic hair may lead to discomfort due to friction during sexual activities. Hence, trimming but not fully shaving is recommended.
Trimming as a Form of Intimacy

Some couples consider grooming each other's body hair an intimate activity. Body hair often carries a social stigma of shame, especially for women, who face societal pressure to remove underarm hair for cleanliness and appearance.
Exposing the taboo of pubic hair to a partner and allowing them to shave it can enhance intimacy, spiced with a sense of shyness and naughtiness.
Unlocked in AV

In Japanese AV (Adult Video), there is often a "forbidden unlockable" theme for promotion, such as creampie or anal sex, where shaving is also one such theme. "PaiPan" (白板), translates to "white tiger," meaning hairless nether regions.
Many actresses debut without hair nowadays, but seasoned AV actresses use shaving as a promotional theme. In some films, the actress's pubic hair is tenderly shaved by the male actor, transforming a lush "forest" into a smooth, pale plain—the embarrassment and shyness of the actress is a major selling point.
Azure Dragon and White Tiger: Personal Choice
The terms "Azure Dragon" for hairless men and "White Tiger" for hairless women are used. There's an old saying that a White Tiger can only be subdued by an Azure Dragon. From a modern scientific viewpoint, trimming but not fully shaving pubic hair is better suited for today's society.
For both men and women, long pubic hair can painfully snag during wear. Moreover, trimming can create the optical illusion of a larger penis, which might boost confidence in bed for men.
Ultimately, whether to manage pubic hair is a personal choice. However, if you decide to trim or shave, it's important to care for the sensitive skin in the pubic region. If in doubt, Xiaoxue suggests seeking cosmetic medical services.
