Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

Introduction
It is very interesting to consider the evolutionary functions of hair on our bodies.
Humans grow hair on their heads, armpits and arms, around the genitals, legs, faces, backs ... In fact as we are all so different, people grow hair on all parts of the body.
What is the evolutionary functions of hair? Arm pit and pubic hair release pheromones, our natural scent which is sexually attractive to others. In our modern western society, these natural odours are generally seen as dirty and should be covered up (by using deodorants, perfumes, shaving). How has our cultural knowledge affected our chances of successful reproduction?
The first clothing of our ancestors is thought to be animal skins. From an evolutionary perspective, wearing animal skins may have improved our hunting success. Our natural smell would be masked by the smell of the animal skin, which would also offer camouflage. As humans began to wear different clothes / skins for protection, this might of led to less hair being grown on our bodies.
Why do men become grey and bald predominately earlier than woman? Perhaps it is to show age, dominance, respect for elders (like the 'silver backs' of chimpanzees).
These are just some ideas to explore.

Evolutionary Functions of Pubic Hair
From the essay: 'Pubic hair isn't just for looks. It's there to help your love life. Your body produces scents, called pheromones, that are designed to make you sexually attractive to others. Hair in the pubic area, as well as underarm hair, captures and spreads those erotic scents.

The Crisis in Pubic Hair
From the essay: "Every year over 2 million hectares of pubic hair
are clear cut or torn out by the roots, much of it in virgin and "old
growth" stands.
* Fact: As recently as 650,000 years ago, 97% of the human "landmass"
was a rich pampa of gently swaying pubic hair, with herds of grazing buffalo
as far as the eye could see.
* Fact: In modern times, pubic forestlands have shrunk to a few out-of-the-way
musky cracks, crevices, and lowland areas. Now, these precious areas too
are under attack.
*Fact: Pubic hair is on the run."

Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable. ... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
