Humans obsession with hair goes back millennia. This applies to both our heads and our more private areas. From the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the Renaissance to modern times, we have had a love/hate relationship with pubic hair. To shave or not to shave? That is the question. Tonight’s lecture will explore the origins and use of the merkin, or pubic hair wig, in all its furry splendor and various iterations. Whether it be to look younger, healthier (cover venereal disease scars anyone?), or be sexually alluring (ever hear of vajazzling?), there is a merkin style available! So if you ever wanted to know why we refer to a woman’s pubic mound as a beaver, please join!
