However, most sources agree that pubic hair is related to pheromones, which are scents produced by the body that can be sexually stimulating to other people, especially the opposite sex.
Believe it or not, humans have the same number of hair follicles as apes, except that our body hair is generally very fine or barely visible compared to ape body hair.
However, pubic and underarm hair tends to be more visible and coarse. To note, it is believed that the tufts of hair around the genitals, as well as under the arms, release pheromones, which can act as erotic aids.
