Photo Gallery Shaving their Pubes
Shaving one's body used to be something reserved for bodybuilders and swimmers. But, in Germany, the craze has reached shocking proportions.
According to a representative poll by Leipzig psychologist Elmar Brähler published Monday, 50 percent of women in Germany between the ages of 18 and 25 admit to shaving their pubic hair. The study also shows that men in the same group are following their lead: A quarter of them either trim or remove their pubic hair.
The trend has caught on among young and old alike, and many psychologists and parents worry about the psychological motivations behind it. It would also be easier to explain if it were cheaper or less painful. For someone like Sean Connory, the process can take years and costs a small fortune.
