The real question is "why make it hairy?" A hairless scrotum is, to me, infinitely more pleasing to own and behold that a hairy pair of nutmegs. But getting rid of the hair! How hard is that?

And, while we're about it, shaving the old buttcrack! That is not an act that is hugely easy either!

what a silly question! it was obviously an evolutionary concept. nature's idiot test. we are all descendents of those who were intelligent enough to NOT cut off their own balls in the process Wink

From such a question, I would suspect you were a troll if only this were not your own forum.

Humans evolved from from hairy ancestors. We still have hair where it's important, for example on top of the head to protect our brain from the heat of the sun and eyebrows to stop sweat from running into our eyes.

We also have hair where we sweat to improve evaporation and help keep those areas cool: arm pits and crotches. The hair wicks away moisture and also keeps adjacent skin from sticking to sweaty areas. Those who shave their balls might find they have heat-induced sterility unless their clothing and environment allow air to circulate in that vital area. Note that we have a scrotum so that our balls can be cooler than the rest of our body.

Why on earth would you have thought such a question was from a troll?

Now the secretions in the genital area are more oily than water based. Also, were the hair designed to keep us cool it would not actually be present Smile
