In the fight against pubic hair, they used special blades, remotely resembling scissors, or did depilation using wax and sugar. Moreover, not only women, but also men paid attention to intimate places. The same attitude towards pubic hairs was inherent in the Romans and Greeks. Muslim women are generally required to remove excess hair from the body as prescribed by the Qur'an.
It is interesting that in our time, pubic hair is removed for the most part from a woman, many men have no idea how to shave their groin properly. Perhaps we should understand why nature rewarded us with hair in intimate places?

- Another theory suggests that pubic hair creates a barrier that protects, above all, the female vagina from the introduction of harmful bacteria and viruses, like hairs in the nose. However, in men, hair is present only in the scrotum, and not on the head of the phallus or its foreskin, from which harmful microbes can get.
- According to the third theory, which is more consistent with reality, hair retains heat in the genital area, which is necessary for their normal functioning.
