Moral superiority: Seculars vs Religious

RE: Moral superiority: Seculars vs Religious
Although I liked the shaved look myself, pubic hair does have a purpose


http://gizmodo.com/why-do-we-still-have-...1591892257

Quote:But, as with many things in nature, the leading theory as to why we still have pubic and underarm hair is to increase the chances of getting lucky. This is perhaps backed up by the fact that unlike hair on your head, armpit and thick pubic hair tend to show up during puberty, around the same time your apocrine sweat glands become active and begin secreting an oily substance containing a variety of proteins and the like. These apocrine glands are, among a few other places, concentrated in your armpits and genitals, unlike your other main type of sweat gland, eccrine glands, which are distributed pretty well throughout your body. Pubic and armpit hair also usually begins to thin out significantly starting around when people hit their fifties, perhaps another indicator it's all about finding a compatible mate.

More specifically, it is theorized by some that the hair exists for the purpose of getting soaked in potent mate-attracting pheromones. This initially odorless secretion turns into a musky smell after various microbes have their way with it; a potential mate picks up the scent and their body uses it as an indicator that you are ready to make the beast with two backs, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Why compare human behavior to lions? Elephant herds are led by females. When my female dog was in heat, she would have mated with any dog that entered the yard. Male Grizzlies will eat their own young.
