Not really aimed at you as is, just closest one to quote and I'm lazy...
It went even beyond "dark ages", late medieval period/Renaissance, forgot which exactly; it was amusingly the nobility who stopped shaving their pubic hair. Why? To differentiate themselves from peasants and prostitutes (especially the latter). Yes, this is something that people has studied... And it is one of the reasons why most (if not all) of those classical nude paintings have shaved women (and men), because it was the norm. Pubic hair became more of a thing in paintings in 1800... ish? Don't really recall seeing it before that.
People seem to think that, partially thanks to the media, long hair and bodily hair were the norm. To a point they are right; the more northern you are the chances are you had more body hair simply due the climate and some pests not surviving the cold winters, but the more south you go, the body hair would be less simply because of pests.
Ancient Egyptians were shaved (hair and pubic hair). The nobility wore wigs. At least one of the priest sects shaved everything daily to be as smooth as possible, including eyebrows that most people didn't shave. And it makes sense; if you don't have hair the dirt and lice is easier to get rid of. So the "all natural" look is relatively new when it comes to history, and it has been partially been possible because hygiene has got better, accessible and more importantly, cheaper. A good soap was a luxury product in middle ages and priced out of the range of most people. The common soap was made from tallow (animal fat) and ash. It was caustic, it would cause blisters to anyone using it so it was used to wash clothes, pots, pans and other things.
EDIT: And yes, Tomas has pubic hair, shockingly. It's just most assets for males are... let's just say aren't anywhere near the quality or versatility of the female counterparts...
