It's not new for girls to be expected to remove at least their legs and their armpit hair, but i noticed this beauty norm is starting to be more and more widespread among men too. This made me wonder. Everything on our body has a function, right? Then, what is body hair for? Is it really healthy to shave/wax it or should we better not?

It depends, really. For example, hair on the head protects the scalp from injury and the sun's rays, and decreases heat loss from the scalp. Eyebrows and eyelashes protect the eyes, as does hair in the ears and nose.
Other than that, hair functions in sensing light touch. Nothing more.

Again, it depends. But overall there's absolutely no health risk involved. -
I think pubic hair was originally intended to protect your stuff but because people where clothes now it isn't really needed. This makes a lot more sense for females though so maybe what I heard was totally off.
Shaving seems pointless.i don't sleep -

I'm pretty sure pubic hair is there to reduce friction during sex.[SIZE=4]I'm a chill kid. AIM/PM me.[/SIZE]
