Отрывок из книги

Advance praise for

“Gunter approachably, respectfully, and even playfully presents a huge amount of reproductive and sexual health education information to women with the assurance that they can use it.”

Inside the hair follicle of each pubic and vellus hair is a sebaceous gland that produces sebum, an oily substance that keeps the skin soft and pliable and contributes to the waterproofing. Pubic hair follicles also have specialized sweat glands called apocrine glands (also found in the armpit) that become active during puberty. They empty a specialized oily sweat with trace amounts of hormones and pheromones onto the hair shaft. Skin bacteria convert the secretions from apocrine sweat glands into odorous compounds, which are responsible for the typical, intense apocrine sweat smell. The true function of the apocrine sweat glands is not known, but as they develop and become functional around puberty and secrete pheromones, it is likely they had or still have some role in sexual attraction.

The skin of the labia minora has fewer layers and less keratin. These skin changes become more pronounced as you move towards the vaginal opening (vestibule). The labia minora has no hair, but it does have sebaceous glands. Less keratin, thinner skin, and no hair makes the labia minora more vulnerable to trauma and irritants.
