Pubic wigs. Merkins. Crotch revamps. Ahh is there anything that the Victorians didn't do? In a society were sex was both a sin and a pleasure, a lot of people would completely shave off their pubic hair but wear wigs in order to retain some modesty. Prostitutes also wore them to hide any sexual diseases they had as well as getting rid of pubic lice. Despite what you say about Victorian prostitutes, they really did have their clients best interests at heart. But of course, the wigs then also became riddled with pubic lice. Merkins are also used today by some porn stars who feel that they would like to remain modest in the more explicit scenes. You know, the scenes that are essential to their porn film, in which they are the porn star, in the porn industry.
