Hair
removal and why we do it ?
Let me count the ways - (apologies to
Shakespeare)
The
simple biological explanation is that both men and women possess the male
hormone testosterone although obviously in different concentrations.
Testosterone produces body hair growth in both genders.
If you have too much testosterone as a female you become "hirsute" and for most males, this may be an unconscious body signal sign that the lady they are pursuing may be more masculine than they are, which is off putting for many.
If you have a tough time in believing that these unconscious attraction signals really do influence behavior, consider gray hair in humans and also animals. The stallion fiercely guards its mares and breeding privileges. Once it starts to become gray, a sign of age, the mares instinctively look for a younger male and the old stallion gets deposed and sometimes killed, by a stronger fitter male in a Darwinian process called - natural selection. The same principle applies to lions, lionesses and countless other species. Humans, both male and female, want to turn back the clock to look younger and thus more attractive, by coloring their gray hair - even pubic hair, to overcome this subliminal body signal that maybe you are past your best reproductive years.
Let me propose some of the additional pros and cons of the hairy unshaven trend which some feel is taking hold concerning body hair removal.
