引言：虽然女性完全去除阴毛被描述为一种“新的规范”，但对美国性活跃女性的阴毛去除模式知之甚少。目的：本研究的目的是评估美国女性的阴毛去除行为，并检查阴毛去除方法与人口统计学、关系和性特征的相关程度，包括女性性功能。方法：共有2,451名年龄在18岁至68岁的女性完成了一项基于互联网的横断面调查。主要结果测量。人口统计学项目（例如，年龄、教育程度、性关系状况、性取向）、过去4周内是否舔阴、过去4周内是否仔细观察或检查过生殖器、过去4周内去除阴毛的程度和方法、女性生殖器自我形象量表（FGSIS）和女性性功能指数（FSFI）。女性的总去除他们的阴毛与年轻的年龄，性取向，性关系的状态，在过去的4周内接受cunnilingus，和较高的分数上的FGSIS和FSFI（与性高潮子量表除外）。此外，完全去除阴毛与年轻，有伴侣（而不是单身或已婚），在过去一个月内仔细观察自己的生殖器，在过去一个月内舔阴，以及更积极的生殖器自我形象和性功能有关。Herbenick D，Schick V，Reece M，Sanders S和Fortenberry JD。美国女性的阴毛去除：患病率，方法和特征。J Sex Med 2010;7：3322-3330.
Introduction.Although women's total removal of their pubic hair has been described as a "new norm," little is known about the pubic hair removal patterns of sexually active women in the United States.Aims.The purpose of this study was to assess pubic hair removal behavior among women in the United States and to examine the extent to which pubic hair removal methods are related to demographic, relational, and sexual characteristics, including female sexual function.Methods.A total of 2,451 women ages 18 to 68 years completed a cross-sectional Internet-based survey.Main Outcome Measures.Demographic items (e.g., age, education, sexual relationship status, sexual orientation), cunnilingus in the past 4 weeks, having looked closely at or examined their genitals in the past 4 weeks, extent and method of pubic hair removal over the past 4 weeks, the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).Results.Women reported a diverse range of pubic hair-grooming practices. Women's total removal of their pubic hair was associated with younger age, sexual orientation, sexual relationship status, having received cunnilingus in the past 4 weeks, and higher scores on the FGSIS and FSFI (with the exception of the orgasm subscale).Conclusion.Findings suggest that pubic hair styles are diverse and that it is more common than not for women to have at least some pubic hair on their genitals. In addition, total pubic hair removal was associated with younger age, being partnered (rather than single or married), having looked closely at one's own genitals in the previous month, cunnilingus in the past month, and more positive genital self-image and sexual function.
