Pubic hair; Attention Kuiper

[Michael Kolotila x3887 508-374-3887]

I am wearing my human anatomy and physiology professor hat now.  The 
reasons that we have pubic hair is:  1) as a cushion during sexual 
intercourse (albeit, perhaps not a great cushion)   2)  as a form of dry 
lubrication during sexual intercourse.  Hope that this helps.
Michael
