Someone please explain to me the evolutionary purpose of pubic hair??!!
(Okay, I know ... this is hardly esoteric and deep material, although what the hell make anyone think they could expect that kind of stuff here??!!)
Seriously, what exactly is the point of hair in the nether regions? It's obviously not for warmth, otherwise we'd have been born with it. Is it supposed to be like raising a red flag to a bull -- a sort of come-hither-look-what-I've-got-hiding-under-here message? And if that's the case, why do we then devote so much time (and so many products) towards removing it?
And not to get too graphic or anything, but for those who have seen me naked and remember the experience (my eyes! my eyes are burning!!), being Asian (and according to Philippe Rushton therefore more highly evolved), I don't exactly have huge quantities of hair other than on my head. I don't even have hair on my legs. And yet, here I sit debating whether or not to wax before my cottage weekend during which I shall spend the majority of the time clad in my pornographic silver bikini.
The reason for my private debate? The last time I donned this bikini, it was pointed out to me quite indiscreetly that I had a few short ones popping out of the sides (I've seen eye patches bigger than this thing for crying out loud, so naturally something is going to show). Personally, I don't know what this person was doing with his face so close to my crotch that he'd notice this kind of thing but then again, maybe it is glaringly obvious to all.
But as I sit here trying to muster up the courage to wrench the little buggers out by their roots, I am perplexed as to why in the world we in even have them in the first place?

EM: Just don't try a home brazilian bikini wax like I did. But yes, wax. Go get it done.
I've heard that we have hair around all orifices so that uninvited guests don't just crawl in, and I think the pubes and pit hair also help to trap our pheremones. You know, nature's come hither device.
God, I remember reading your post re. home bikini wax with horror. I actually crossed my legs tightly! Where were you thinking?
I wanted to be smooth like buttah. It worked. But not without excrutiating pain. How did your home job go?
Thankfully, I have a high pain threshold, otherwise I might have passed out. I felt like the pot of wax should have come with a warning label "Don't try this at home, kids".
