[Closed] What's the point of pubes?

They keep my balls warm, make my organ look less terrifyingly large and are highly attractive to women, who love their silky softness and the little ornaments that I plait into them.

Sensory innit!

You're going to tell us that not only do you like women who have removed all theirs (possibly to look more like a seal) but also that you regularly trim your own into the shape of a heart, or just leave a little runway or something aren't you? 🙄

Airation, they help circulate air aroung yer scrote, cool balls make more sperm, ever shaved em and got a sweaty sack????

aslo for potection against dust in a similar was eye lashes work.

I think the hypothesis is something to do with scent and pheromones. Since they obviously produces a large surface area in an "aromatic area" (particularly before bathing was common).

Either that or they evolved to tickle your nose and get stuck in your teeth.

Dust?? How bad does your sex life have to be for your scrote to get dusty?

PMSL!

and who has eyes in their sac?

Help keep the flies off

Graham, you've never seem my car have you?

I trim them back so my cock looks bigger

Mother Natures Dental Floss, obviously.....

So you can differentiate between the the front and rear bottom of a lady.

Most bald men have far more body hair caused by the increased levels of testosterone. This is what gave rise to the myth that bald men are more virile.

i was told, in a biology class in secondary school, that the function of pubes is to reduce friction during intercourse.

I thought they were some kind of visual signal to show fertility (this would have been in the days before "age of consent" obviously).

In the meantime...
bloke walks into a barber shop, says "here, fella, do you cut women's hair?"
barber says "well, if it's an emergency, I suppose I could"
bloke points to a gap between his teeth and says "any chance you could cut this one out?"

I'm here all week

I really cannot see what function they perform other than signalling maturity. Ask an evolutionary biologist and a creationist.

I'd have thought they were just like underarm hair - the cushion the hair provides would allow sweat to evapourate more easily as you dont have skin on skin contact constantly, this'll stop chaffing and allow pheromones to be released too. Bearing in mind that men have nipples, it's entirely possible that we have useless body parts on both sexes.

That's from an evolutionary point of view of course...now ask a creationist

indeed. I have many useless body parts. At the moment I'm finding my legs particularly useless, and one of my ears has sunburn.

Maybe if I grew pubes on my ears they wouldn't get sunburnt. bloody god didn't think of that did he. then again, can you get sunburnt ears if you're omnipotent?

[i]can you get sunburnt ears if you're omnipotent?[/i]

Theoretically you can. However, as any means of preventing it would be in your power it is unclear why you would. But then, any means of alleviating the sunburn would also be in your power, so it is unclear why you would not.

From a few online searches it seems the creationist answer is:

"creationism doesn't bother itself with intricacies like that"

That's a silly answer. The obvious one is that god created humans as he thought they would be best. When he designed them he thought that pubes would be quite useful and rather attractive. As things have turned out, the boundless ingenuity that he gave humans has allowed them to decide that pubes are optional and to devise ways of removing them, while their limitless capacity for self-expression has meant that many of them like to have nether regions that look troublingly like a plucked chicken. God does not mind this, as free will is a good thing. 😀

They were attractive during the 1970s

You will eventually grow them on your ears - they stop growing outwards after a certain length, but continue to grow inwards and end up coming out of your ears.

That's why old men have hairy ears.

I thought pubes had evolved to "trap" embarrasing farts? If this isnt the case I'll have to evaluate my fart-dispersal defense strategy... 😕

Climbing frame for crabs?

Dust?? How bad does your sex life have to be for your scrote to get dusty?

Your not married then?

Shave 'em off and you'll find out!!

They allow people of scottish persuasion to pull them through the front of their kilts & refer to them as "the sporran" ...quite odd really

If they were attractive in the 70s I'm glad I'm young, as I can't imagine going to a bar, sidling up to a sheaf of pubes that were wearing a jumpsuit and trying to look all sexy, offering them a drink and a line such as "my, you're looking so luxuriant and unrestrained, do you use timotei?". I presume that would get me a slap from a braided pube limb along with the threat of her boyfriend (commonly known as bumbeard) coming around to beat me up.

Dating must have been difficult in the olden days.

Gee-Jays response had me spitting my coffee out 🙂

pk - agreed.

They hold a good amount of lather, so if you scrub your pubes first in the shower you can use them as a handy dispenser while you wash the rest of your body.

This is a great thread. Total boredom relief. 😆

Does veet dissolve your willy as well as pubes?

but is god created man in his image, WTF does god look like, or is he a paranoid schizophrenic?

How can god be black white brown etc...

Maybe he owns a tanning salon?

How can god be black white brown etc...

Yay, for he is all things unto men;
he is unto the white man as he is unto the black man;
Verily he is the hirsute man and the pubeless metrosexual.

Does veet dissolve your willy as well as pubes?

Only if it is infinitessimally narrow.

Ah well, best say goodbye to little ripper then...

What's the deal with ladies as well then, if they're wearing some of these smaller undergarments that I believe are popular nowadays, surely there's a requirement not to have don king muscling his way out of them?

An the Germans, is it trendy to like the scorpions, the hoff and a raging thongfro?

shudders at the thought of bikini spiders ...yuk

They identify natural blondes from non-natural blondes 😉

"Aeroplane" blondes.

🙂

Also offers protection-can be like having a sheet of aluminum barrier.

Reduces some infections.

Shows masculine features to opposite sex.

Maybe just a response to hormone changes and receptors.

Lions have have that hair mass too.

So you can differentiate between the the front and rear bottom of a lady.

Because a face, bellybutton and a pair of titts is not enough ?

Julian, if that was the case there'd be loads of cases of old men "accidentally" getting their ears shaggged !!
