Quoted from source:

"Reason for pubic hair
It is believed that the functions of pubic hair include the dissemination of pheromones and protection from the friction of sexual intercourse. Natural selection may also have sustained it because it can show a potential sexual partner that the other person is sexually mature and can reproduce. Pubic hair and the growth between the tops of the legs and the buttocks, like under arm hair, helps to lubricate the areas, making movement smoother and more comfortable.

Possible reasons
There is no definitive theory on the reason for the existence of pubic hair. The prevailing theory relates to pheromones — scents that the body produces that can be sexually stimulating to others. In this theory, the tufts of hair that grow around the genitals, as well as under the arms, capture these erotic scents. Pheromones get trapped in the pubic hair when apocrine glands release an odorless secretion on the surface of the skin that combines with bacteria decomposed by the secretions of the sebaceous glands. Humans have the same number of hair follicles as other apes, but body hair is generally very fine or barely visible in comparison. So, while pubic hair and underarm hair might be considered the primary scent traps, they are not the only ones. For some people, scents from these areas are noticeable and consciously increase sexual arousal. Pheromones might not be obvious but may be detected subconsciously.

Another theory is that the pubic hair keeps the genitals warm. The purpose of women's pubic hair could be similar to that of the cilia in the nose, in that it prevents small foreign particles from entering the vagina. However, this doesn't explain male pubic hair."

These are highly friction prone areas,
so to reduce fricition.

Then jus like every openin on the body needs some protection from insects worms etc, when ppl sleep ate night.

so this acts as a hindrance to enter the body and the most delicate parts, for an ant for example.

I dont know for sure but it seems like it would be there to protect and keep it warmer like the rest of the hair on our bodies. There would have to be a reason for it to stay there while the rest of the hair on our bodies thinned out. It makes sense that since our genitals are so sensitive and delicate that there would be thick hair around them to keep flies and dirt/ whatever out. They're basically natural underwear haha

Pubic hair, and armpit hair and head hair besides arma dn legs are the only common major hair bodies on both man and women. this is because as evolution has past man is still an animal and like all animals who dont have yahoo, or dating services, they need afrodisiacs! which are odors and characteristics that attract the opposite sex. thats pretty much the function, even theough now it has almost no use, i guess it keeps you warm sometimes....

It's supposed to attract the opposite sex, well, at least that's what it did in the caveman days, or so they say....it absorbed sweat and got really funky smelling and that's how you caught a man...the funkier smelling the better...same with underarms.

I have no idea if this is true or not. It just sounded good.

I think it's to soak up sweat actually. So it's a rather unpleasant function.
