Pubic hair refers to the coarse and curly hair that grows in the genital area of both males and females, typically beginning to develop during puberty. This type of hair serves several important purposes, including providing a protective barrier against friction and bacteria, helping to reduce irritation during physical activities, and playing a role in the release of pheromones, which can influence attraction. The growth and appearance of pubic hair can vary greatly among individuals based on genetics, hormones, and age, and it is a natural and normal part of human development.
