Young Curly Blonde Girl With Natural Untrimmed Pubic Hair Posing On The Chair At The Mirror

Among the upper class in 19th century Victorian Britain, pubic hair from one's lover was frequently collected as a souvenir. The curls were, for instance, worn like cockades in men's hats as potency talismans, or exchanged among lovers as tokens of affection. The museum of St. Andrews University in Scotland has in its collection a snuff box full of pubic hair of one of King George IV's mistresses, possibly Elizabeth Conyngham, which the notoriously licentious monarch donated to the Fife sex club, The Beggar's Benison.
Modification
Trimming or completely removing pubic hair has become a custom in some cultures. In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice under the Sunan al-Fitra. A preference for hairless genitals is known as acomoclitism. In western society, shaving of female pubic hair has become so common, that going unshaven is considered a fetish, known as pubephilia. The method of removing hair is called depilation (when removing only the hair above the skin) or epilation (when removing the entire hair). Beauty salons often offer various waxing services. It is sometimes referred to as "pubic topiary".
