  • The study found that pubic hair grooming is highly common among college-age men and women, with shaving being the most popular method, especially among women.
  • Women are more likely than men to be hair-free or to prefer hair-free partners, and they also report stronger reasons for grooming, such as cleanliness, comfort, and social expectations.
  • Genital itching was the most frequently reported side effect of pubic hair removal, with a higher incidence among women due to more frequent and complete grooming practices.]

毛が話題みたいだけど、この調査によるとアメリカの大学生の多くが過去4週間で陰毛を手入れしていて（女8割男5割）、大学生女子の半分くらいが性器を無毛状態にしている。男子は無毛の女子を好む。 https://t.co/yLGYzYVkLV

또한 남,여 모두 왁싱을 한 상대와 성관계를 하는 것을 선호하였다. 연구에 따르면 왁싱 후 부작용은 통증이나 발진등이 종종 나타난다고 하였다. Pubic hair preferences, reasons for removal, and associated genital symptoms: comparisons between men and women. J Sex Med. 2015;12:48-58

@Lfreksha I don't think it should be about shaving the pussy as much as it should be about being hygienic and it works for both men and women, but here's an interesting point about keeping pubic hair or at least just trimming it without shaving https://t.co/IlO329VAiX
