Is it normal to have hair "down there"?

It’s completely normal to have hair in the genital region; it’s called pubic hair. The hair usually grows on the “mons pubis” for a female and just above and around the penis for a male.
Pubic hair provides warmth and padding for the genital area. It also traps dirt and germs that can get inside genital openings (vagina or urethra for females and urethra for males).
