There are a lot of circulated rumors and truths about life between a woman’s legs. What you should do, what you shouldn’t do, what you should wear down there, what you shouldn’t wear down there, how you should wear them, the list goes on.
Thankfully, WomensHealthMag has published a very helpful article on a woman’s pubic hair, setting the record straight. This is based on the findings of experts, Wendy Askew, M.D., an ob-gyn with the Institute for Women’s Health in San Antonio and Sejal Shah, M.D., a New York City dermatologist and RealSelf contributor. Read and find out more below.
1. Pubic hair protects you against STD’S (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)
A good number of women believe that having just the right amount of pubic hair protects you from STD’s or infection, when it’s the opposite that happens. The more hair you have down there, the more you sweat, the more you sweat, the more you breed germs. When intercourse happens, there is exchange of fluid and bacteria, The vagina area itself is a host to bacteria, good and bad, but it is all balanced out by its natural PH level. This is however not a mandate to go bald down there, but minimal hair down there is recommended.
2. Pubic hair makes sex boring
This is an individual/partners decision. The reality however is that pubic hair down there, does not in any way stop you from having a great sex time. It will vary on a woman’s vaginal form. Some women need extra stimulation for sex if the clitoris is found inside the labia. Fact still remains, pubic hair in no way affects your sex life.
3. Pubic hair color matches the color of hair on your head
“For the most part, pubic hair tends to match eyebrow color, except that it’s a little bit courser,” says Dr. Askew. Your pubic hair will not always match your hair color. For black women, this might be difficult to ascertain, except you have a magnifying glass and super sensitive eyes to determine what shade and color is what. It will be either a shade darker or lighter, they won’t always match the hair on your head.
