Question:

Why do I have so much pubic hair?

Answer:

Pubic hair does have a function. They help provide a small amount of warmth to your scrotum. They also help to hold your clothing a bit away from your genitals so that you have better air circulation around them, which is important when you need cooling and to promote drying. The pubic hairs also keep clothing and your own skin from directly rubbing your genitals and causing irritation. This later is a consideration during actual sexual intercourse.
