Why pubic hair grows in the groin and under the armpit?

[Wildfire]

This week BBC's Science & Nature series on Human Body & Mind

Scientifically, why does pubic hairs grow only in those areas and not on the
breast or buttock?

 

[hairylee]

Scientifically, why hair at those places never go bald?

 

[laksaboy]

To minimize friction and the possibility of developing blisters.

Chey, so simple explaination. these places are the most moist since they are covered by clothings and also the fact that they are not under the rays of sunlight.

Who cares?

 

[Glaringly]

Must be lice at work. They produce secretion to trick your body into keeping those hairs, so that they can nest and spread their population.

In that case, the area around the breast would be ideal since it's covering is usually reinforced and protected from the "rays of sunlight" with the bra.

Ray of sunlight is only one factor.

The armpit and groin area is usually moist due to the swinging of arms and movements of the upper thighs. Hence hairy as a result. In addition, at the groin area, there is more prescemce of moisture due to urine, semen and cunt juice enabling the areas to grow hair.:o

Ask Desmond Morris, who wrote "The Naked Ape".

Pubic hair is quite different from hair on the head. Instead of forming a round shape, the hair is oval. It is always short and has a coarse and curly texture. The growth period for pubic hair is short. Within six months, the hair follicle dies and the hair falls out. Pubic hair never gets a chance to grow.

It is not certain why pubic hair grows in the groin and under the armpit. One theory suggests that it provides a large surface area for the natural smell of sweat to disperse from. Many animals use the odour of sweat to attract the opposite sex.

[Brightkid]

If coxk is on head, all hair-grow businesses will never have existed. Correct?

Wildfire,

When I read your title "Why pubic hair grows in the groin and under the armpit?" I thought your armpit started to grow pubic hair.
