Although present in both men and women, the mons pubis tends to be larger in women. [1] [6] Its fatty tissue is sensitive to estrogen, causing a distinct mound to form with the onset of female puberty. [4] [6] [7] [8] This pushes the forward portion of the labia majora out and away from the pubic bone. The mound also becomes covered with pubic ...
The mons pubis is a soft mound of fatty tissue in the pubic region covering the pubic bone. [3] Mons pubis is Latin for "pubic mound" and is present in both sexes to act as a cushion during sexual intercourse, and is more pronounced in the female. [4] The variant term mons veneris ('mound of Venus') is used specifically for females. [5] [4]
The labia majora regain fat, and begin growing pubic hair close to the pudendal cleft. Hair is initially sparse and straight, but gradually becomes darker, denser, and curlier as growth spreads outward and upward toward the thighs and mons pubis. At the end of puberty, pubic hair will be coarse, curly, and fairly thick.
the coxal region encompassing the lateral (side) of hips; the pubic region encompassing the area above the genitals. The pelvis and legs contain, from superior to inferior, the inguinal or groin region between the thigh and the abdomen, the pubic region surrounding the genitals, the femoral region encompassing the thighs,

The hair is located on and around the sex organs , and sometimes at the top of the inside of the thighs , even extending down the perineum , and to the anal region .
In primates, and specifically in humans, the labia majora (sg.: labium majus), also known as the outer lips or outer labia, are two prominent longitudinal skin folds that extend downward and backward from the mons pubis to the perineum. [1] Together with the labia minora, they form the labia of the vulva. The labia majora are homologous to the ...
The labia minora are completely covered by the labia majora in some women in a standing posture, while in others they protrude visibly from the pubic cleft. Being thinner than the outer labia, the inner labia can be also more narrow than the former, or wider than the labia majora, thus protruding in the pudendal cleft and making the term minora ...
The urogenital triangle is the area bound by a triangle with one vertex at the pubic symphysis and the two other vertices at the iliac tuberosities of the pelvic bone.
