The long, thorough, researched, and pretty much undisputed answer from AI about the purpose of pubic hair:
Pubic hair serves several purposes, including protection, sexual attraction, and potentially some role in regulating body temperature. It acts as a barrier against bacteria and dirt, reduces friction during sexual activity and other movements, and may contribute to sexual attraction. Additionally, it can help trap sweat and odor, and some researchers suggest it may help in the release of pheromones.
Here’s a more detailed look at the potential purposes of pubic hair:
Protection:

The hair cushions the skin, reducing chafing and irritation during sexual intercourse and other movements.
Temperature Regulation:
Pubic hair may help regulate body temperature, says Verywell Health.
Sexual Attraction and Pleasure:
The appearance and texture of pubic hair may be perceived as sexually attractive, and the sensation of hair movement during sexual activity can be pleasurable.
Pheromone Release:
Some researchers suggest that pubic hair may help in the release and trapping of pheromones, chemicals that may play a role in attracting sexual partners.
Other Theories:
