Do you ever wonder why we have hair in the places we do?.... I'd understand if we were covered in it in equal density all around... but why do we have armpit hair? Or pubic hair?
Ah, the mysteries of life... |

Actually, everyone has hair all around their body except for: palms of hands, balms (bottoms) of feet, eyeballs, and lips. Everywhere else that is external has hair. It might not be noticeable, but it's there.

The reason why you we havee " hair " is because it's to keep us warm. The reason why you cant see your self all hairy becuz it cannot be seen as a naked eye but some part you can .. it's all natural .. the thing is .. why do we have ALOT OF LONG HAIR ON OUR HEAD, ARMPIT .. why does it have to be soo much longr then our hair that cannot be seen. ??

Oooh.. haha. I guess I read wrong what you wrote. (woah, alliteration!) Hey, who knows. Probably to keep us warm, as Frainke said. Armpit hair.. Hmm... IMO there's really no use for that.
Not to mention that some people have darker, thicker, curlier, etc. hair on their head than other. Does that mean that they have darker, thicker in other places too?

Why do we have pubes? Easy.
Pubic hair is supposed to be the playground where the crab lice can frolic after we are diagnosed with pediculosis pubis, otherwise known as 'crabs'.  xo, Pauline |

I know for a girl, pubic hair helps prevent infection. But I still don't like it.. so yeah. But anyway. I'm not sure about armpit hair. Maybe something to do with sweating and our temperature (helping to regulate)? I don't know, honestly.

to protect you? different hair has different functions, like you lose a lot of heat of the top of your head, so that's why you have a lot of hair there....maybe you loose a lot of heat out your armpits too

We have hair all over our skin, except some hair is thinner and less visible to the naked eye, while some hair are thicker and darker and we can see them.

thats a good question. i'm going to go google =X
//edit// QUOTE It's thought that the tufts of hair that grow around the genitals, as well as under the arms, capture these erotic scents. Pheromones get trapped in the pubic 'do when apocrine glands release an odorless secretion on the surface of the skin that combines with bacteria decomposed by the secretions of the sebaceous glands. Believe it or not, humans have the same number of hair follicles as apes, except our body hair is generally very fine or barely visible in comparison. So, while pubic hair and underarm hair might be considered the primary scent traps, they're by no means the only ones. For some people, scents from these areas are noticeable and consciously increase sexual arousal. For others, pheromones might not be obvious but may be detected subconsciously. A few hypotheses also exist about why we have hair on our pubic places. Some people believe that it keeps our genitals warm. In prehistoric times, when only a loincloth was worn to cover the penis or vulva, this might have held true. However, the idea that a pubic mane exists for warmth doesn't make much sense in today's world since our genitals are kept toasty by clothing. In order for this theory to be true, it would seem that our bodies would probably have evolved to the point where we would have lost the need for pubic hair, which is not the case. Also, if it were intended for generating heat, wouldn't we have much more pubic hair? If this were so, men would probably have hair on the shaft of their penis and more hair on the scrotum to insulate the testicles; women would have hair on the skin of their lower torso to insulate the internal reproductive organs. Others believe that the purpose of women's pubic tresses is similar to that of cilia in the nose (a.k.a., nose hair), in that it prevents dirt from entering the vagina. Okay, this makes some sense... but why wouldn't men have similar protective locks around the opening of their urethra?
