Some people think that pheromones are emitted and hairy 'bits" secrete more sweat than other parts.

There is no connection whatsoever, no matter what anyone may say. We people simply do whatever is natural anyway, especially when it feels fine. The best thing for us is to take care of the bodies we have, like keeping clean, taking showers regularly for example. As we get older with shaving a guy is regularly washing his face, so you get the point.

Public hair causes inconvenience while masturbating and while having sex. And also this days boys like shaved public hair. They even shaved their own public hair.

Purpose of pubic hair\nIt is believed that the functions of pubic hair include the dissemination of pheromones, protection from the friction of sexual intercourse; natural selection may also have sustained it insofar as it can symbolize sexual maturity to a potential sexual partner. Pubic hair and the growth between the tops of the legs and the buttocks, like under arm hair, helps to lubricate the areas, making movement smoother and more comfortable.\n\n[edit]\nPossible reasons\nThere is no definitive theory on the reason for the existence of pubic hair. The prevailing theory relates to pheromones — scents that the body produces that can be sexually stimulating to others. In this theory, the tufts of hair that grow around the genitals, as well as under the arms, capture these erotic scents. Pheromones get trapped in the pubic hair when apocrine glands release an odorless secretion on the surface of the skin that combines with bacteria decomposed by the secretions of the sebaceous glands. Humans have the same number of hair follicles as apes, but body hair is generally very fine or barely visible in comparison. So, while pubic hair and underarm hair might be considered the primary scent traps, they are not the only ones. For some people, scents from these areas are noticeable and consciously increase sexual arousal. Pheromones might not be obvious but may be detected subconsciously.\n\nAnother theory is that the pubic hair keeps the genitals warm. The purpose of women's pubic hair could be similar to that of the cilia in the nose, in that it prevents small foreign particles from entering the vagina. Of course this doesn't explain male pubic hair.

humans are born with hair. it may be miniscule, or ridiculously fine, but its definitely there. by hair, we don't just mean on the top of the head, hair can be anywhere on the body, including the fine hairs on your arms and stuff.\nthe most hairless mammal i can think of is a whale; they only have hair on their lips.

It's amazing that you should ask this particular question now, because my hubby just shaved his beard/mustache yesterday. I prefer clean-shaved, because the hair sticks in my mouth when we kiss (or goes up my nose). It's very irritating & it makes me not want to kiss him. To put it bluntly, it's like trying to kiss either a brillo pad (not that I've ever kissed one, but could imagine), or trying to kiss a long-haired animal (no comment). Besides all that, I love being able to see his handsome face & having a beard/mustache just hides too much of it.

As always, to understand things that humans have in their anatomies but that\nhave no apparent use [e.g., arm pit hairs] one needs to think about\nevolutionary forebears and look to closely related species for clues. Two\nlevels to the response: the nature of those particular hairs and how they\nserve to help advertize your basic adult [post-pubertal] human condition,\nhowever masked by contemporary perfumes & deodorants. Hair is akin to fur\nbut without the insulative properties, and comes in generally coarse & fine\nvarieties. The particular coarse hairs which develop in the pubic area and\nin the armpits arise at puberty [clue #1]. Hair follicles in these areas\nhave a type of sweat gland associated with them, called an apocrine gland,\nthat begins to function at puberty and is widely associated with\nscent-communication via chemicals known as pheromones [clue #2]. Apocrine\nglands produce an otherwise non-offensive secretion that now appears to be\nhomologous with animal sex-specific scents. Unfortunately its components are\nbroken down by bacteria to form odors associated with dirty locker room\nsmells. The arm pit hairs serve as extended surface from which these\nvolitile chemicals can be more efficiently broadcast. Scientific data\nsupporting the presence & effect of human pheromones have become more\nsubstantial in the last couple of years. Interestingly, perfume companies\nhave recently begun playing up the nature of human pheromones!\n\nDr. Dinsmore

What I've seen in literature is using deodorant AND shaving one's armpits may increase risk of breast cancer.  It was not scientific, but the hunch of an organization of survivor spouses. Plucking axillary hair would probably be similar to shaving.

I can't stand hairy guys.  I like them clean cut and waxed everywhere!  Why? So nipple hairs and other hairs do not get caught between my teeth or cause me to start coughing in the middle of a hot moment.:)

Oh yeah!  Especially underarm hair.  Hair is sexy -- stubble is not!

Shaving is a personal choice , some do some don't . I do because I personally do not like all the hair . I am a hairy guy and it just looks clean and neat when some of the hair is gone .

Honestly I think that if a guys has a beard and he keeps it maned and cut than there is nothing wrong with it. Honestly I like a little hair on the chin or a mustache but it doesn't really matter to me though.

Actually, pubic hair is there to protect the body from infections. its kinda like a second skin or shield from the outside. some people do shave their pubic hair but some say its dangerous because they lose their 2nd coat of protection. but its whatever :P

The hair follicles on our head are different in structure from those that produce body hair. The length of body hair is determined by our genes (some folks are shaggier than others) but will never get as long as the hair grows on your head.\n\nWhen a hair follicle enters a new growth period, it starts to secrete the proteins that make up a hair shaft. The new hair grows out from the root plexus of the follicle until it pushes the old hair out, and then continues growing for a genetically determined amount of time. For body hair, it tends to grow for only 3-6 months and it grows at a slower rate. Then the follicle goes into a dormant stage again. Hair on the head grows at a fairly constant rate year round, and the hair shafts are generally thicker and stronger. Areas like the armpit, pubic area, and men's beards tend to be somewhere in between, as they do grow at a constant rate and can get fairly long if not trimmed.
