These are different from other nerve endings that we have on our skin for pressure and temperature. All of these sensations are registered together in the brain, the result being the feeling of light touch.
Pubic hair doesn’t keep you from feeling the skin underneath, which is stimulated with a firmer touch, so you can have both.
Shaving completely, however, reduces your sensations to just the nerves on the surface of the skin and you miss out on a wider range of stimulation.
Not to mention you can no longer enjoy when your partner might tug or even blow warm air across your bush.
Protection Against Genital Warts
If you shave your pubic hair, you are putting yourself at a higher risk of contracting genital warts.
Although pubic hair doesn’t completely prevent it, it helps avoid skin-on-skin contact with someone who may already have it. Genital warts are warts that are located near or on the genital areas.
In a female, that means on or near the vulva (the outside genital area), vagina, cervix, or anus.
In a male, that means near or on the penis, scrotum, or anus. Warts appear as bumps or growths. They can be flat or raised, single or many, small or large. They tend to be whitish or flesh-colored.
They are not always easy to see with the naked eye, and many times a person with genital warts doesn’t know that they’re there.
So the moral of the story? Let it all hang out, it’s good for you.
