-There are a number of theories on why pubic hair exists, but no definitive answer. However, most sources agree that pubic hair relates to pheromones - scents that the body produces that can be sexually stimulating to others."

Ow! Pubic hair grooming injuries on the rise, researchers find.

- Whether it's a DIY Brazilian wax or a botched attempt at "manscaping," homegrown efforts to remove the hair down there are sending more people to emergency rooms, new research suggests.
