      good question. Maybe to keep our jingly bits from getting too exposed in the wild.

      It’s because around puberty we produce the sex hormone androgen and one of its jobs is to help make pubes grow. Haven’t a clue why we need pubic hair though.

      I have no idea but it’s got me wondering why pubic hair is different to other body hair – anyone got an idea?
