The nude female body has been depicted in art countless times. But where is all the pubic hair? (www.abc.net.au)

Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.

In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.
