Funnily enough my husband has not much hair growing elsewhere than on his head, so he does not have to do anything about it. My brother OTOH doesn't have much on his head, but he's a hairy beast otherwise, so I conclude hairiness on head and rest of the body does not go hand in hand.

Much like we didn't understand the need for an appendix or a thymus or a spleen not so long ago (all of which serve to protect our bodies from pathogens) it's possible that we don't fully realize the implications of disturbing our 'outer environment.'
Now this is interesting thought, that one should not interfere with the "life" downunder by shaving the nether regions.
