Abstract
Genital hair is one of the secondary sexual traits that alongside with the larche marks the beginning of puberty.
Both males and females carried out pubic hair removal for Many reasons for over the centuries. Modern pubic hair removal is often done for visual, aesthetic or psycho-sexual reasons rather than for health reasons.
Women are willing to remove their pubic hair for reasons like hygiene, sexual attractiveness, sexual enhancement, religious-social beliefs and before any gynecological examination.
Razor blade, waxing, plucking, bleaching, depila- tory creams, electrolysis, laser therapy are the most known methods for pubic hair removal.
This practice has an interesting psycho-sexual basis that has not yet been fully explored in sexual medicine.
Women who resisted shaving body hair felt negatively evaluated as dirty or gross Many women also judged other women who did not remove body hair as less sexually attractive, intelligent, sociable, happy, and positive compared to hairless women.
In several studies, sexual intercourse and sexual satisfaction frequency correlated with total pubic hair removal, particularly in young women. This practice has an interesting psychosexual basis that has not yet been fully explored in sexual medicine.
The present study findings indicate that body satisfaction, self-esteem and sexual functions improve after total laser pubic hair removal in women. The results of the study will be valuable for future
