After a recent convo with a friend about pubic hair. I realized I didn't know where the current trend of pubic hair removal started, even though I thought I did! This led me to think of all the other pubic hair things I had heard over the years. Does pubic hair serve a protective factor? Does removing your pubic hair increase risk for STIs or other problems? What about crabs (a.k.a pubic lice)? Pubic hair, or the lack thereof, is a hot topic, and I clearly didn’t know much about it. On this episode, I am going to take you with me as I explore the world of pubes. I am going to cover the origins of the Brazillian wax, pubic hair through the ages, and how pubic deforestation affects pubic lice.
