Your pubic hair is likely thicker and more coarse than the hair on other parts of your body because it serves a protective function.
According to dermatologist Marc Glashofer, a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, pubic hair's thicker texture acts as a buffer to prevent friction during intercourse, which could otherwise cause skin abrasions and rashes.
| Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Thicker Texture | Provides a protective barrier against friction. |
| Coarse Nature | Adds to the durability and effectiveness of the protective layer. |
| Protective Role | Prevents skin abrasion and rashes, especially during sexual activity. |
In essence, the thickness and coarseness are adaptations for this specific location and purpose.
