Hello and welcome to HCM,
Tear on the penile shaft can occur due to mechanical trauma during sexual intercourse.
Coarse pubic hair can cause mechanical trauma to the penile skin, however, they are unlikely to cause tears.
I suggest you to allow the penile skin to heal.
A clinical assessment of the penile skin by a dermatologist is required to rule out any primary skin disease.
Removal of pubic hair by laser may not be helpful.
Thanks and take year
