Pubic hair
The pubic hairs are Poil S located at the level of the Genitals, in the between-leg and sometimes in top of interior of the legs; this zone forms the Pubic region. Although fine sleeping bag is present in this zone during childhood, the " term; hairs pubiens" is generally restricted with the longer and thicker hairs which develop during the Puberté. It is the effect of the increase in the level of Androgène S on the skin of the genitals.
The development of the pubic hairs
The morphological evolutions of puberty measure using a scale on 5 levels called scale To tan.Before the Puberty, the genitals of the boys and girls have very fine sleeping bag (stage 1 To tan). At the beginning of puberty, in answer to the rise in the level of Androgen S, the skin of the genitals starts to produce larger and longer hairs, with a more important growth rate. The change of each follicule is relatively abrupt, but the surface of the skin on which pushes these hairs increases gradually with the years.
At the majority of the girls, the pubic hairs appear with the borders of the Grandes lips (stage 2 To tan), and extend ahead towards the Mons veneris (stage 3 To tan) during the 2 following years. In 3 years of Puberty (roughly time to have its first rules for the majority of the girls), the pubic triangle densified. The 2 following years, the pubic hairs also push on the bottom of the buttocks and sometimes some on the abdomen towards the umbilical point.
Among boys, the first pubic hairs appear in a scattered way on the Scrotum or in top of the base of the Pénis (stage 2 To tan). In one year, the hairs around the base of the penis become innumerable (stage 3 To tan), and in 3 or 4 years, the hairs fill all the pubic zone (stage 4). In 5 years, they extend to the bottom of the buttocks and go up on the abdomen towards the umbilical point (stage 5 To tan). Other zones of the skin are in the same way, but a little less, sensitive to the Androgène S and some hairs thus appear a little later. All in all, the sensitivity to the Androgen S and the appearance of hairs are at the level of the Aisselle S, of the Périnée, the upper lip, the legs (in front of the ears), of the nipples, the medium of the chest, the neck under the chin, the remainder of the chest and of the Barbe, the members and the shoulders, the back and the Fesse S. In spite of the fact that she is generally regarded as part of the process of the Puberté, the appearance of the first hairs is distinct and independent of the process of maturation of the Gonade S which leads to maturation sexual and with the fertility.
The pubic hairs can develop thanks to the Androgène S alone, and can develop even if the ovaries or the Testicule S are defective or not functional (cf Puberté for more details). Between the men and the women, there exists a light difference in term of capacity of answer to the Androgène S. obvious the sexual Dimorphisme in term of distribution of the hairs between men and women is initially the result of differences in rate of Androgène S reached with maturity.
Variations
The reasons for the pubic hairs vary according to the people. On some, they are thick and coarse, whereas on others they can be scattered and fine. The color of the pubic hairs and the hairs under the armpits can differ considerably from that of the hair. Most of the time, they are darker, but they can be clearer at some. On many men, the color of the pubic hairs is very close to that of their barb (before this one does not bleach with the age), which once again can differ from the color of the hair. On the majority of the women, the pubic fleece is triangular and recovers the Mons veneris. On many men, this fleece decreases upwards in a line of hairs towards the Nombril. Same manner as for the armpits, the pubic hairs are associated with the localized concentration of sébacées glands. Like the hair, the pubic hairs can be infested with Pou X, it acts of the Morpion S.
The function of the pubic hairs
Some think that the functions of the pubic hairs include the dissemination of Phéromone S and protection against the frictions at the time of sexual relations. The pubic hairs also form a natural protection against the microbes to which a depilated vulva would be more vulnerable.In addition, of the studies seem to show that the sight of a pubis covered with hairs would result in to increase/create the male excitation.
Culture
Attitudes
Various attitudes exist through the slang terms used for the pubic hairs: bush , fleece , lawn , grass , garden , mound , tuft , etc
In the Japanese drawings, the pubic hairs are often omitted for legal reasons (cf Hentai), since for a very long time it is interdict to show there pubic hairs. Recently, the interpretation of the law changed.
In Islamic companies, to remove the pubic hairs is a practice approved by the religion, at the sides of the Circoncision, the cut of the nails, the brushing of teeth, etc (for more details, cf Fitra).
Before the twentieth century, Western paintings and sculptures depicted the women without pubic hairs. John Ruskin, celebrates it author, artist, and art critic, was apparently accustomed with these representations and was naive in connection with the real appearance of a nude woman. At the time of its wedding night, it was shocked allegedly so much by discovering the sex of his wife Effie Gray that it rejected it, so that the marriage was cancelled (in all legality). the naked Maja of Francisco Goya was probably the first European painting to show the pubic hairs of a woman, although others referred there.
Modification
The " taillage" or the complete bleaching of the pubic hairs became a habit in several cultures. The technique used to remove these hairs is called depilation when the hair is entirely withdrawn from the skin. For the sex, the men usually prefer to cut or shave whereas the women prefer depilation with wax or shaving. Since the years 1960 it became popular to cut or to entirely depilate the pubic hairs in the Western companies. Various cultures have various practices of shaving, as much as reasons justifying these modifications of pilosity:- the Hygiene, and especially during the rules;
- the Esthetic ;
- the Tradition;
- the Religion;
- the sexual practical , such as the oral Sexuality or even the culture BDSM.

To remove the pubic hairs
The pubic hairs are usually removed or reduced by shaving, but sometimes for a long-term depilation, the chemical wax or techniques is used to draw the hair out of its root.Male depilation can be associated with the current with the " manscaping" (indicating the care of the body for the men such as the depilation of the chest and the legs… tendency very recently accepted by heterosexuals). In the medium of the Nudisme those which shave their pubic hairs are called " Smoothies ".
In the years 1990, a new method of permanent depilation discovered and was put into practice for the pubic hairs. This one implied the use of a very powerful luminous ray. This type of depilation can be classified in two categories: the " pulsated intense Light " (or IPL for " Intense Pulsed Light") and laser depilation. The objective of these two methods is to destroy the follicules, the producing glands of the hairs. The effectiveness of the two methods seems equivalent.
