I wonder why people shave often?

There are a lot of reasons why people get rid of their pubic hair. Some of the most common ones are discussed below.

Social norms

Grooming pubic hair has been common practice for centuries. Today, at least some hair removal is common.

Some theories link this trend to increased accessibility to porn, where hairlessness is the norm.

A lot of people remove their pubic hair to conform to this aesthetic standard.

Partner expectations

For others, partner preferences drive their grooming habits. Some women  say that their pubic grooming is related to partner preference. According to a study done,  men are more likely than women to report a preference for a pubic hair-free sexual partner. In contrast, women were more likely to cite that they preferred trimmed or partially shaved or waxed pubic hair.

Personal preference

For some, removing their pubic hair is simply a matter of personal preference. People who prefer to remove their pubic hair often cite comfort, routine, and sexual confidence as motivating factors.

Increased sensation

Some people believe that removing their pubic hair increases genital sensation during sex. Indeed, studies suggest that there’s a link between pubic hair removal and self-reported sexual functioning.

However, one doesn’t necessarily cause the other. There are likely other factors involved.

For instance, people who remove their pubic hair are more likely to be young, so it would make sense that they also report increased sexual functioning.

More research needs to be done to understand the link between pubic hair removal and sexual sensation
