Do they gather at waxing salons

Only the manhwas though. Majority of mangas have characters with pubic hair-

Bl is the most unrealistic when it comes to stuff like that

got smth to do with author's obsession with hairless men ig, i feel like they think as if the lack of hair in that region means it's much more cleaner(?)

Funny thing actually, I’m pretty sure in the rainbow city novel, it mentioned something about Major Kwak having pubic hair but he’s clean in the manhwa lmao

i was right, it gotta be the artists weird obsession with men being hairless

hair is just tedious and hard to draw i would skip it too if i had to draw so many panels

For manhwas it's bc in Korea they prefer hairless men and theyer also the target audience....

Maybe drawing pubes is kinda bothersome? As far as the mangas I've read there's only so little pube drawings done right. Not saying it should look "pretty" or "realistic". But most of the time if they're present it looks kinda weird— yes it registers as pubic hairs but at the same time it looks like something's not quite right and it's distracting lmaooo. Or maybe I haven't seen the right mangas with it

This too! Like in 1 chap of smut there are what like 20+ panels of the lower region in different angles and you'd have to draw each stroke of all little tiny hairs (unless there's a brush that could do that w/o it looking off not weird)

east asian genes shrug.. or just some weird beauty standard

i dont think it should be bothersome because drawing pubes could be the equivalent to drawing the hair of the character's head, if anything its quicker to draw that shi than putting accessories on a character-- i really think its the artists' preference to not add pubes or body hair on a character

Read - cash or credit, both seme and uke has pubic hair

idk why, but mangas sometimes do have pubic hair, while i haven't read a single manhwa with it
